Subclass Rules
How do these things work?
Subclass
A subclass is a stem from a superclass that can access the methods written into the superclass
Rules
-A subclass inherits all the members fields, methods, and nested classes from its superclass.
-Constructors are not considered members and are not automatically inherited by a subclass
-The constructor of the super class can be invoked from the subclass to use the constructor
Example:
public class Monkey{
public String color;
public int length;
public Monkey(String color,int length)
public void setColor(String fur){
color=fur;}
public void setLength(int measurement){
length=measurement;}
}
public class Orangutan extends Monkey{
public int handSize;
public Orangutan(String color, int length, int handSize){
super(color, length);}
public void setHand(int checkHand){
handSize=checkHand;}
}
