In the below code , why the method inside super class is not called. I was expecting the o/p as three, 3 but the crt o/p is 0,3

Question

class Super {
Super() { printThree(); }
void printThree() { System.out.println("three"); }
}
class Test extends Super {
int three = (int)Math.PI; // That is, 3
void printThree() { System.out.println(three); }

public static void main(String[] args) {
Test t = new Test();
t.printThree();
}
}
This program produces the output:

0
3

Answer 1

You're overriding

void printThree() { System.out.println("three"); }

with

void printThree() { System.out.println(three); }

When the constructor of the class "Super" gets called, printThree() of the new Test object is executed, that is void printThree() { System.out.println(three); }

void printThree() { System.out.println("three"); } doesn't "exists" in Test class
