overriding

So I'm writing a class that extends a dictionary which right now uses a method "dictify" to transform itself into a dict. What I would like to do instead though is change it so that calling dict() on the object results in the same behavior, but I don't know which method to override. Is this not possible, or I am I missing something totally obvious? (And yes, I know the code below doesn't work but I hope it illustrates what I'm trying to do.) from collections import defaultdict class RecursiveDict(defaultdict): ''' A recursive default dict. >>> a = RecursiveDict() >>> a[1][2][3] = 4 >>> a

I have a base class with the following (trimmed for brevity) declaration: public abstract class MyBaseClass { public int RecordId { get; private set; } public string ObjectName { get; set; } public abstract string Status { get; set; } public GetMyObject(int id) { MyObject myObject = context.GetObjectById(id); this.RecordId = myObject.RecordId; this.ObjectName = myObject.ObjectName; this.Status = myObject.Status } } Which is used by the following class: public class MySpecificClass : MyBaseClass { public override string Status { get { if(this.Status == "something") return "some status"; else

I have a generic Collection class, with a variety of public getter methods. To get one item from the Collection, you call get(). There are also several methods that return multiple items: getMany(), getRange(), getAll(), find(), findAll(), query(), queryAny(), etc. Internally, all of these methods that return multiple items have a loop that calls get() repeatedly, as they aggregate the individual items to return. A simplified example: public function get($key){ return $this->collection[$key]; } public function getMany($keys){ $many = array(); foreach ($keys as $key){ $many[] = $this->get($key)

I have a bean in module1-spring.xml - <bean id="parent" class="com.Parent"/> <bean id="service" class="com.Service"> <property name="parent" ref="parent"/> </bean> I want to override the bean in module2-spring.xml - <bean id="child" class="com.Child" parent="parent"/> I want child to be passed in service instead of parent . If I alias child as parent i.e. <alias id="child" alias="parent"/> then the parent attribute will read child instead of parent bean and fail on server startup with error- BeanDefinitionStoreException: Invalid bean definition with name 'child' defined in class path resource

I am having a hard time understanding how to get the following code structure to work. In Scala I have a class MyClass which inherits from SomeClass I added a var member variable in this case called mutableArray and it is being updated in the overridden method overridingSomeClassMethod and is called when I create a new instance of the MyClass a number of times right away. But in main when I try and get the updated mutableArray variable it prints out the instantiated var as if it is immutable or only has scope in the overriding method. I can't change the method in parent SomeClass , and I tried

I can surely answer to this question by myself writing a dummy test but I want to know what people think about the question. Here it is: Which method will be call when we have both at the same time overloading and overriding? I am only considering Type overloading and not arity overloading and when Type the overload are related. Let me throw you an example: class AA {} class BB : AA {} class A { public virtual void methodA(AA anAA) { Console.Write("A:methodA(AA) called"); } public virtual void methodA(BB aBB) { Console.Write("A:methodA(BB) called"); } } class B : A { public override void
