Which method is going to be called

Question

hi,
In case we have a subclass over riding a method. Once we instantiate the superclass and call the method which method is going to be called?
e.g
class C2
     private int i = 2;
     public void meth1(){
          System.out.println("super class static method");
class C22 extends C2{
     public void meth1(){
     super.meth1();
     System.out.println("sub class static method");
public class C3 extends C2
public static void main(String [] arg){     
     C2 c3 = new C2();     
     c3.meth1();
It appears that the C2's method is being called but once overridden shouldnt C22's method be called?

Answer 1

Yes, if you call the method on an object that is an instance of the C22 class, as in:
C2 c3 = new C22();
c3.meth1();Note the "new C22" instead of "new C2".
