What's the difference ? "I know the programme isn't right it's just an example "

Question

class fabric
class dress extends fabric

fabric silk = new dress()
dress silk = new dress()

Answer 1

They're both referring to a dress object, but they're of different types:

1) Can only access members of fabric. It may be referencing a dress object, but silk is a variable of fabric type. If you cast silk to dress, you could access all its members.

2) This is a dress-type variable referring to a dress-type object, nothing unusual.

Hope that makes sense.

Answer 2

fabric doesn't have dress attributes.
dress does have fabric attributes and its own.
