Using inherited overloaded methods

Question

I have two classes:

public class ClassA {
    public void method(Number n) {
        System.out.println(\"ClassA: \" + n + \" \" + n.getClass());
    }
}
         


        

Answer 1

In overloading, method resolution always takes care by compiler based on reference type. So, In overloading runtime object[new ClassB()] does not play any role. Therefore, in your case the method of ClassA was executed.

ClassA a = new ClassB(); 
a.method(3);
