Let's look at an example.
Code
Class Program
{
Static Void Main ( String [] ARGs)
{
Baseclass = New Derivedclass ();
Console. writeline (baseclass. getstring ());
// Derivedclass driverclass = new derivedclass ();
// Console. writeline (driverclass. getstring ());
Console. Readline ();
}
}
Public Class Baseclass
{
Public Virtual String Getstring ()
{
Return " This is the getstring () method of the base class. " ;
}
}
Public Class Derivedclass: baseclass
{
Public Override String Getstring ()
{
Return " This is the getstring () method of the inherited class. " ;
}
}
The output result is:This is the getstring () method of the inherited class.
This result is displayed becauseGetstring() The method is overwritten by the inherited class. What will be output if we change the modifier of the getstring () method of the inherited class from override to new?
Code Class Program
{
Static Void Main ( String [] ARGs)
{
Baseclass = New Derivedclass ();
Console. writeline (baseclass. getstring ());
// Derivedclass driverclass = new derivedclass ();
// Console. writeline (driverclass. getstring ());
Console. Readline ();
}
}
Public Class Baseclass
{
Public Virtual String Getstring ()
{
Return " This is the getstring () method of the base class. " ;
}
}
Public Class Derivedclass: baseclass
{
Public New String Getstring ()
{
Return " This is the getstring () method of the inherited class. " ;
}
}
The output result is:This is the getstring () method of the base class.
Check that the base class method is called. The inheritance class hides the getstring method in the base class.
