Different behavior of overriding methods and fields

Question

I just noticed that overriding methods does behave different than overriding fields. Considering the following snippet:

public class Bar {
  int v =1;

         


        

Answer 1

When you are calling foo.printAll(); It is calling the function of the base class which is printing the value 1. Then you are calling printV.This time since the inherited class has a function of the same name, it is overridden and printV of Foo is called.

The value of v depends on from which class you are printing the value.
