Discussion :: Declarations and Access Control - Finding the output (Q.No.10)

| Your explanation is not exactly correct...Correct reason is, 2 methods getLength() can have same name, argument & also return type. but return type should be compatable. here return type Long in sub class is not compatable with Integer of super class. so to compile change the 2 return types objects from super and sub. |

| class Super { public Integer getLength() { return new Integer(4); } } public class Sub extends Super { public Integer getLength() { return new Integer(5); } public static void main(String[] args) { Super sooper = new Super(); Sub sub = new Sub(); System.out.println( sooper.getLength().toString() + "," + sub.getLength().toString() ); } } Friends, if we keep Integer before getlength then we get result as 4,5. |

| Return type is does not matter in case of overriding. | |
| Farid said: (Feb 17, 2016) | |
| Answer [A]. Because overriding is not correct so when select getLength() it is select superclass method. |

| After Java5 version if base class method return type is nonprimitive we can change the return of overridden method in subclass this is called Covariant return type in java. | |

| Super is a reserved key word in java. How can we create a class by its name? | |
| Kkhushi said: (Jul 18, 2017) | |
| The super is reserved but not Super difference in capitals. | |

| @Krishna. Java is a case sensitive programming language. |

| Overloading can't possible because it happens within a class, but overriding is happen in two different class in inheritance and here the two function name getLength () return different value. So, it is a contradiction of overriding concept, that's why the compile-time error occurs. | |

| Is Integer valid return type. I have used the only int all the time. | |
| Nitin said: (Feb 29, 2020) | |
| Why its necessary to override super class method, can't we treat them different method and access it by class instance. | |
| Monika said: (Apr 27, 2021) | |
| @Nitin. It is possible. But in this case method name same. So overloading is also not possible. |

| In java, method overloading is not possible by changing the return type of the method only because of ambiguity. | |
