Why the value changed?

Question

I used the super keyword to access the variable on the super class then I used the this keyword to access the value in subclass but it return the same value.
I thought it might be 10 + 5 = 15.

Answer 1

Because this.hole in class B is a protected member of class A. They are the same variable ...

Answer 2

Value of `this.hole` you changed in B class' constructor (line 9) refers to the protected member `hole` defined at line 2 class A. You were adding `hole` by itself.

Answer 3

Might help in explaining the protected access modifier
