Polymorphism

[Saad Zahoor]

Question :  in this case it should invoke the method which contain speed = 150 . But it is invoking 90 .Why ??

class Bike{  
int speedlimit=90;  
}  
class Honda3 extends Bike{  
int speedlimit=150;  
 
public static void main(String args[]){  
 Bike obj=new Honda3();  
 System.out.println(obj.speedlimit);//90  
}

Field members are not polymorphic and the variable speedlimit in the honda3 class has not override the previous one but it has actually hide it.polymorphism is only applicable to instance methods(in java).in fact polymorphism also doesn't applies to static methods.regarding hiding fields and methods go through these links
