java - just a quick thing about polymorphism -


say class classone extends classtwo, classone subclass , classtwo superclass. if went class , typed in: classtwo hello = new classone(); mean can use methods in classone have been inherited classtwo , not methods in classone? (e.g a. method called void eat(); in classtwo , classone inherited method void walk(); in classone , not in classtwo using hello keyword, access eat function , not walk function?), don't quite understand concept of polymorphism. can explain , giving example? much.

yes true, system see classone classtwo in regards available methods. think these concept buckets, in case classone fits classtwo bucket. if put classone in classtwo bucket can see classtwo bucket. pick out classone classtwo bucket, can cast it.

this helps in case of upcasting , downcasting, casting object supertype or subtype. either put item in basket(upcasting) or take out basket (downcasting).

this analogy might crap helps me :)

to answer question yes, can't make method-call method in classone if casted classtwo.

this handy anf many times preferable. think of interfaces, interface tells object provide set of methods. way can ensure these methods available calling object, contract object has it's surroundings.
