 {
  System.out.println(\"Base class main\");
  amit ab=new amit(); //how is it possible as the sub class object a         


        

Answer 1

Perhaps you need to distinguish compile time from runtime.

At compile time the structure of arijit is well-known. It does not matter that halfway in the class, in main, a subclass is used, as that is a runtime thing.

But I admit, the Java compiler is not all that stupid :)
