Confusing calling method in Java
- by vBx
class Parent
{
private void method1()
{
System.out.println("Parent's method1()");
}
public void method2()
{
System.out.println("Parent's method2()");
method1();
}
}
class Child extends Parent
{
public void method1()
{
System.out.println("Child's method1()");
}
}
class test {
public static void main(String args[])
{
Parent p = new Child();
p.method2();
}
}
I'm confuse why does in Parent::method2() when invoking method1() it will cal Parents method1() and not Childs method1 ? I see that this happens only when method1() is private? Can someone explain me why ?
Thanks you.
