In this example B and C have main methods, if I overload it on C my application runs the main method on B. public static void main(String args[]) is a static method and it cannot be overridden either because it belongs to the class and not to the instance, when I try to override it and execute it from class C the main method that runs is the one from C which belongs to C and it's not an overridden version of B's main method.
package inheritance;
public class A {
public void ABC(){
System.out.println("Hello from class A");
}
}
package inheritance;
public class B extends A {
public void ABC(){
System.out.println("Hello from subclass B");
super.ABC();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
B s = new B();
s.ABC();
}
}
package inheritance;
public class C extends B {
public void ABC(){
System.out.println("Hello from subclass C");
super.ABC();
}
public static void main (String[] args){
C c = new C();
c.ABC();
}
}
Hello from subclass C
Hello from subclass B
Hello from class A
well, you can overload it, yes
package inheritance;
public class C extends B {
public void ABC(){
System.out.println("Hello from subclass C");
super.ABC();
}
public static void main (String[] args){
C c = new C();
c.ABC();
B.main(null);
C.main(1);
C.main(null, null);
}
public static void main(int argv){
System.out.println("i'm main(int argv) overloaded");
}
public static void main(String[]argv, String[]args){
System.out.println("i'm main(String[]argv, String[]args) overloaded");
}
}
Hello from subclass C
Hello from subclass B
Hello from class A
Hello from subclass B
Hello from class A
i'm main(int argv) overloaded
i'm main(String[]argv, String[]args) overloaded
