Having confusion with variable override and method override

[Rajesh k Jha]

I am having doubt over the difference between method and instance variable overriding when using polymorphism?
Like
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Base b=new subclass();
System.out.println(b.x);
System.out.println(b.method());

class Base
{
int x=2;
int method()
{
return x;
}
}
class subclass extends Base
{
int x=3;
int method()
{
return x;
}
}

Well, basically the difference is... Polymorphism applies for instance methods. It does *not* apply for instance variables. Hence, there is no such a thing as overriding an instance variable.
