This is an example of static fields inheritance between two classes. The steps of the example are described below:
- We have created a class
Aclassthat has astaticint val, and a static methodfun()that returns an int value. - We have also created a subclass of
Aclass, that isInheritanceStaticFieldsand extends the Aclass. - We create a new instance of
InheritanceStaticFieldsand call itsstart()method, that prints the results of the values inherited to this class byAclass.
Let’s take a look at the code snippet that follows:
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
class Aclass {
static int val = 24;
Aclass() {
System.out.println("In Aclass::<init>");
}
static int fun() {
return 12;
}
}
/**
* This is the subclass
*/
public class InheritStaticFields extends Aclass {
public static void main(String[] c) {
new InheritStaticFields().start();
}
public void start() {
System.out.println("In InheritStaticFields::start");
System.out.println("Val is " + val);
System.out.println("fun is " + fun());
}
}
Output:
In Aclass::<init>
In InheritStaticFields::start
Val is 24
fun is 12
This was an example of static fields inheritance between two classes in Java.
