hello,
i'm trying to use a super class called A and a derived class called B.
class A has a method that gets a parameter of type C which is also a super class. class D inherites class C. The code:
class A{
public void foo(C c){...}
}
Class B{
public void foo(D d){...}
}
it gives me a compilation error, how can i make this work?
thanks!!
Lowercase 'c' in class.... What error do you get?
this was just a typo...
i'm getting:
The method foo(D) in the type B is not applicable for the arguments (C)
thanks
So somewhere you're *calling* that method with a C as a parameter. And your B does not extend A so it doesn't inherit the other method.
ok, i made some errors in my first questions, sorry for that:
class A{
public void foo(C c){...}
}
class B extends A{
public void foo(D d){...}
}
and as i said D extends C and the error:
The method foo(D) in the type B is not applicable for the arguments (C)
is a compilation error.
thanks again!!
Iam not sure But I believe You cant redefine a methods signature as you did.
Of course method redefinition is always acceptable.

The code you posted compiles just fine. The problem is elsewhere. Time for you to post an SSCCE* that actually demonstrates the compiler error.

Hopefully, you're using more meaningful names than that. And if you are, you should use those names in the sample code you post here (or at least *something* meaningful).
