Inheritance

When you inherit from an existing class, you reuse its method, and you can add new method and fields to adapt your new class to new situations.

##Classes, super class, and child class

Defining Subclass

There are two ways to get the fiels of super class from child class.

1. Access directly, firstly use the left of “=”
2. Access from method, who’s method, use who, otherwise find super class //super class ''' public class Employee { int salary = 20; public void Employee(){ System.out.println(salary); } }

// child class

public class Manager extends Employee { private double bonus; int price = 200; int salary = 300; public void Manager(){ System.out.println(salary); } }

1

public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Manager m = new Manager(); System.out.println(m.price);//200 System.out.println(m.salary);//300 System.out.println("—————–"); //System.out.println(m.salary);

    m.Manager();//300
    m.Employee();//20
}

}

## this and super
- this refers to the current object.
- super keyword in java is a reference variable that is used to refer parent class objects
super class

public class Employee { int age = 20; }

child class

public class Manager extends Employee{ int age = 30; public void method(){ int age = 40; System.out.println(age);//40 System.out.println(this.age);//30 System.out.println(super.age);//20 } }

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Manager m = new Manager();
        m.method();
    }
}

override

In any object-oriented programming language, Overriding is a feature that allows a subclass or child class to provide a specific implementation of a method that is already provided by one of its super-classes or parent classes.(override method must have the same name and 参数列表)
