Inheritance and the “this” keyword

Question

Suppose that we have next situation:

Parent class A:

class A{  
    public A(){}
    public doSomething(){  
        System.out.println(this.getCla         


        

Answer 1

Despite the fact that you are calling the doSomething() method of A, the this during that call is a B, and so the getClass() method is called on B not on A. Basically the this will always be a B whether you are using a method from superclass A, a method from B, or from A's superclass Object (the parent class of all Java classes).
