Question

What is the output of the following Java program?

class Food {
    void flavor() { System.out.println("bland"); }
}
class Pepper extends Food {
    void flavor() { System.out.println("spicy"); }
}
public class Lunch {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Pepper lunch = new Food();
        lunch.flavor();
    }
}

Select one:

a. bland

b. bland
spicy

c. spicy

d. the program does not compile

e. no output

Answer 1

output:

D. The program does not compile

explanation:

In the above code the variable lunch was initialized of child class that is Pepper and object of parent type that is Food.which is incompatable due to type difference.

The output will be like this:

If you change object Food to Pepper the output will be : spicy

Code for that:

class Food {
    void flavor() { System.out.println("bland"); }
}
class Pepper extends Food {
    void flavor() { System.out.println("spicy"); }
}
public class Lunch {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Pepper lunch = new Pepper();
        lunch.flavor();
    }
}

Any queries feel free to ask

Please give your positive feedback

Thank you
