Small remark:
Explanation:
Code: Select all
class A
{
public int i = 10;
private int j = 20;
}
class B extends A
{
private int i = 30; //1
public int k = 40;
}
class C extends B
{
}
public class TestClass
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
C c = new C();
System.out.println(c.i); //2
System.out.println(c.j); //3
System.out.println(c.k);
}
}I guess You cannot access c.j because j is private in A.You cannot access c.i because i is private in B. But you can access ( (A)c).i because i is public in A. Remember that member variables are shadowed and not overridden. So, B's i shadows A's i and since B's i is private, you can't access A's i unless you cast the reference to A.
You cannot access c.j because j is private in b.
