Hi All,
Mughal says page 181,
"private methods in a class cannot be overridden"
-----------------------------------------------
class fruit {
private String getFruit(String name) {
System.out.println(name);
return "apple";
}
}
class pears extends fruit {
String getFruit(String name) {
return "apple";
}
}
public class grapes {
public static void main(String args[]) {
pears p = new pears();
System.out.println(p.getFruit(""));
}
}
---------------------------------------------
but in the above am able to compile the program even though a private method is being overriden ?

I would recommend you to buy three books
1. first is Sam's learn java in 21 days
2. Java Certification by Khalid A. Mughal and Rolf W. Rasmussen (best book)
3. Sun certified Java Programmer bye Bill Brogden
the 1st book is for learning java from basic
the 2nd one which will prepare you for the exam
3rd one is a Exam Cram
