RE: Overriding Methods
|
In this case we are calling a method with super class reference and sub class object. Super class reference can call only the methods which it knows (its knowledge) and execute sub class's defined method. So while we are calling method Super class has the knowledge that this method will throw an exception and need to handle this. Because of this the compiler shows error.
Thanks, |
