Hidden fields though inheritance

Question

In the following code example:

class Parent { 
    int x =5;
    public Integer aMethod(){

        System.out.print(\"Parent.aMthod \");
        return x;
          


        

Answer 1

Operations are always on Objects. In both cases, p.aMethod() and c.aMethod(), object is child that is why it printed 6 in both cases. When you directly access variable directly it reads variable associated with left side.
