    Sorry if this has come up before, but I didn’t see another thread about this. But if there is one, please give me the link.Here I have a simple program.

    java polymorphism subclass superclass dynamic-binding
    I know for the case of overriding methods Java follows dynamic binding. But if we call a child only method from the parent reference variable, which is referring to child object, we got compilation error. Why java follow this design (i.e. why no dynamic binding in second case)?class A{public void sayHi(){ “Hi from A”; } }class B extends A{public void sayHi(){ “Hi from B”; public void sayGoodBye(){ “Bye from B”; } }main(){A a = new B();//Works because the sayHi() method is declared in A and overr

    I have two classes, Food and Nacho. Food is Nacho’s super class.Food *junk = [[Nacho alloc] init];is valid as long as I call Food’s methods, right?But how come that Food pointer can call one of Nacho’s methods (which is defined as an additional method in the subclass)?fixed , removed ‘NS’ prefix from class name.

    I have two classes.public class A {public Object method() {…} }public class B extends A {@Overridepublic Object method() {…} }I have an instance of B. How do I call A.method() from b? Basically, the same effect as calling super.method() from B.B b = new B(); Class<?> superclass = b.getClass().getSuperclass(); Method method = superclass.getMethod(“method”, ArrayUtils.EMPTY_CLASS_ARRAY); Object value = method.invoke(obj, ArrayUtils.EMPTY_OBJECT_ARRAY);But the above code will still invo

    java casting reference subclass superclass
    Suppose I have a superclass Item and a subclass MovingItem.If I create an array of items and then try to cast one of the already created items into a MovingItem and store it in to a vector, does it mean I use a reference or I create a new object, for instance.Item[] itms = new Item[2]; itms[0] = new Item(); itms[1] = new Item();Vector<MovingItem> movingItms = new Vector<MovingItem>(); movingItms.add((MovingItem) itms[0]);What happens when I cast the object of type Itm found in array

    I need a way to conditionally define the superclass of a class based on a value in NSUserDefaults.I know one can define different interfaces based on #ifdef directive. I wonder if the same can be achieved with #if directive? If not, is there some other way to achieve my goal?Thank you!

    objective-c override subclass superclass
    Is it possible to override a method in a subclass in such a way that when the superclass calls the method, those calls still go to the original method, but all other (external) calls to the method go to the overridden version?Background: If I subclass a UITextField and override the getter for delegate, the built-in behavior of UITextField that relies on the delegate appears to be using the backing ivar to access the delegate (and not touching the overridden getter); however, if I try the same th

    java override subclass superclass extends
    My app has a structure similar to this:class Father{ a(){ … }b(){a();} }class Son extends Father{ a(){ ….. }} //overrideb() is not overrided. When I create an instance of Son and I call b(), Father’s a() is called, but I would like it executes the Son one (if the object is a Son). Is it possible?

    java object subclass superclass
    I have a super class called PageObject, and then two subclasses called AlphaPage and BetaPage that inherit the PageObject. A function “selectPage()” will return one of these pages, but the specific page to return will only be known at runtime.What should the function’s return object be, then, that will avoid having to cast one of the subclasses to the function call’s return val?

Hope you got what i meant!

    I’m working on a problem where there are several implementations of Foo, accompanied by several FooBuilder’s. While Foo’s share several common variables that need to be set, they also have distinct variables that require their respective FooBuilder to implement some specific functionality. For succinctness, I’d like to have the FooBuilder’s setters to use method chaining, like: public abstract class FooBuilder {…public FooBuilder setA(int A) {this.A = A;return this;}… }andpublic class FooImp
