Chapter 7, Exercise 11

Exercise 11: Create a base class with two methods. In the first method, call the second method. Inherit a class and override the second method. Create an object of the derived class, upcast it to the base type, and call the first method. Explain what happens.

Clean enough:

package x; 
class bc2m {
    def fmeth ( ) : Int = smeth();
    def smeth ( ) : Int = 12;
} 
class c7xFch extends bc2m {
    override def smeth () : Int = 22;
} 
object c7xF {
    def main ( args : Array[String] ) = {
        val derobj = new c7xFch;
        val basup : bc2m = derobj.asInstanceOf[bc2m];
        W.rn( "der upcast base fmeth => " + basup.fmeth() );
    }
}

It outputs der upcast base fmeth => 22. Because the call to smeth in fmeth is dispatched at run time.
