How to call method of Parent class using Child object in Java

Question

Parent Class Method name -> calculateTax Since Child Method name -> calculateTax

class will inherit this method I still want to call parent class calculateTax method

Child ch = new Child() ch.calculatetax() -> this should call parent class method , how can this be achieved

Answer 1

This is not possible, in your case since you are calling calculateTax method with the object of Child class. The method of child class will override the calculateTax of parent class.

But you can call the parent class method by using super keyword inside the child method body like:-

super.calculateTax ();
