CSE143 Inheritance Example handout #11
Assuming that the following classes have been defined:
public class One {
public void method1() {
System.out.println("One1");
}
}
public class Two extends One {
public void method3() {
System.out.println("Two3");
}
}
public class Three extends One {
public void method2() {
System.out.println("Three2");
method1();
}
}
public class Four extends Three {
public void method1() {
System.out.println("Four1");
super.method1();
}
public void method3() {
System.out.println("Four3");
}
}
And assuming the following variables have been defined:
One var1 = new Two();
One var2 = new Three();
One var3 = new Four();
Three var4 = new Four();
Object var5 = new Three();
Object var6 = new One();
In the table below, indicate in the right-hand column the output produced by
the statement in the left-hand column. If the statement produces more than one
line of output, indicate the line breaks with slashes as in "a/b/c" to indicate
three lines of output with "a" followed by "b" followed by "c". If the
statement causes an error, fill in the right-hand column with either the phrase
"compiler error" or "runtime error" to indicate when the error would be
detected.

Solution to CSE143 Inheritance Example
1. Inheritance Mystery. The output is as follows.
Statement Output
--------------------------------------------------
var1.method1(); One1
var2.method1(); One1
var3.method1(); Four1/One1
var4.method1(); Four1/One1
var5.method1(); compiler error
var6.method1(); compiler error
var4.method2(); Three2/Four1/One1
var4.method3(); compiler error
((Two)var1).method2(); compiler error
((Three)var1).method2(); runtime error
((Two)var1).method3(); Two3
((Four)var2).method1(); runtime error
((Four)var3).method1(); Four1/One1
((Four)var4).method3(); Four3
((One)var5).method1(); One1
((Four)var5).method2(); runtime error
((Three)var5).method2(); Three2/One1
((One)var6).method1(); One1
((One)var6).method2(); compiler error
((Two)var6).method3(); runtime error
