When i run the above code AnimalTest.java I get a class cast exception error. I just need to confirm with you kind folks that is/are my following inferences correct ?
Inference 1: In the try block horse subclass reference variable h is trying to up-cast itself to Animal Super Class so that it could print "Generic Animal eating" when invoked with the eat method as h.eat();
Inference 2: Since
Java does not support up casting therefore it throws the ClassCastException error.
Inference 3: So all this boils down to Java allows inheritance to sub classes but gets mad if you try to access its "super" powers.
Sincerely awaiting your reply.
