A getB(){ return new A(); }

i don't get why this is false !

Did you read the explanation? It explains exactly what is wrong with this code.

I thought overridden methods had to be the same or less restrictive than the parent class's method. According to Liskov's Substitution Principle on this post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/161 ... n-base-cla


How is this answer correct if the method in class X is default accessible?

protected B getB(){ return new C(); }

Thank you for your help!

As the explanation says, protected is less restrictive than default. That is why it ok for the overriding method to be protected if the overridden method is with default access.

- I don't know what I was thinking...

Thank you for answering and not calling me an idiot lol
