Hi:
I have an ancestor class Top with a private int "i" (say 5) and a public getValue() function that returns the integer value "i";
I created a descendant class Next from the above class and re-declared and initialized a private integer variable "i" (say to 10). But no new getValue() function here, as it is inherited from the ancestor.
My question is how can i get to print the value of integer i in the Next class (10), without Overriding the getValue() method from class Top.
Is it possible to get 10 to print, other than directly accessing the variable or using a getValue() method at class Next?
Thanks
Madan
