Given the following type declarations:
public class Ciad {
public Ciad psol(Ciad zil) {
return new Plast();
}
}
public class Plast extends Ciad {
public Ciad psol(Ciad zil) {
return zil;
}
}
public class Bada extends Ciad {
public Ciad psol(Ciad zil) {
return this;
}
}
...and given the following setup code:
Ciad foo = new Bada(); Ciad bar = new Plast();
Draw an AST for the following expression, labeling the static type (a.k.a. compile-time type) of each node in the tree:
foo.psol(foo).psol(bar)
(The static type of an expression is the type that the compiler uses to check the code before it runs.)
Draw an AST for the same expression, this time labeling the runtime type of each node in the tree.
(The runtime type of an expression is the type of the actual value that appears when the code runs.)
