Overriding member variables in Java ( Variable Hiding)

Question

I am studying overriding member functions in JAVA and thought about experimenting with overriding member variables.

So, I defined classes

public clas         


        

Answer 1

As per the Java specifications, the instance variables are not overridden from a super class by a sub class when it is extended.

Hence the variable in the sub class only can be seen as one sharing the same name.

Also when the constructor of A is called during the instance creation of B the variable (intVal) is initialized and hence the output.
