  • Overriding member variables in Java

  • Java inheritance fields [duplicate]

    5 answers




Here are two classes



class FirstClass { 

    int x;

    public FirstClass(int n){

        x=n;

    }

    int getx(){

        return x;

    }

}

class SecondClass extends FirstClass { 

    int x;

    public SecondClass(int n){

        super(n*2);

        x=n;

    }

    int getx(){

        return x;

    }

}


Yet if I do something like FirstClass obj = new SecondClass(5), obj.x is 10, and obj.getx() returns 5.



I'd either have expected getx() to be 5 and x to be 5, or getx() to be 10 and x to be 10. Why does the code work this way?
