Calling father from the child class?

Question

Hi...
And I want to learn how to:
public class FATHER{
int SAMPLE=0;
FATHER(){
Child mychild=new Child();
class Child{
Child(){ 
// I am child and I want to set my father's(who created me) SAMPLE var...
here is a small example.. I could not reached fathers variables in the child.. there must be an easy way to do that ..
Thanks ...

Answer 1

Actually, why would that happen?Because the father tries to create a child, itwill
become recursive.
KajOh, so it will become recursive due to the
constructor in the Father class?Nope, because of the ctor of the child class because it'll call either
implicitly or explicitly the father's ctor again.
kind regards,
Jos
ps. see for yourself:class Father {
   private class Child child;
   public Father() {
      System.out.println("father ctor");
      child= new Child();
public class Child extends Father {
   public Child() {
      System.out.println("child ctor");
}
