Why is the output different in the two cases?

Question

Why is the output different in the below case even when, the variable has been overridden?

public class A {
    int a = 500;

    void get() {
        System.out         


        

Answer 1

When doing ob.a, you get the variable int a from your ob object, which is object of the class B.

However, when you do ob.get();, you are calling the get()-method from class A, because there is no get() in B, which - as you wrote - uses this.a, which would be the int a of class A in that case.
