Doubts in the following program about return

Question

class a
public boolean methoda(String ab)
String k;
k = ab;
System.out.println(" methoda in class a " + k);
return true;
class b extends a
public void methoda()
System.out.println(" methoda in class b ");
public boolean methoda(String he)
System.out.println(" methoda with arg in class b " + he);
super.methoda("jai");
System.out.println(" I am coming back again to class b ");
return false;
public class trial
public static void main(String a[])
b obj = new b();
boolean re;
re=obj.methoda("vinod did a good job");
System.out.println(re);
Will the control ever get back to class b??? if yes, class a's methoda() is having a return statement and it has to return true, right???
please explain how/why the control is again coming back to class b's methoda()????

When you post code, use the CODE button or [code] and [/code] tags to preserve formatting and make your code readable. Copy/paste from your original source in your editor, NOT from your post here, which has already lost all formatting.
