Static and runtime types: Correct Solution


Given the following type declarations:

public interface Kisha {
    public Kisha oupsec(Kisha da);
}

public class Hastce implements Kisha {
    public Kisha oupsec(Kisha da) {
        return da;
    }
}

public class Tisac implements Kisha {
    public Kisha oupsec(Kisha da) {
        return this;
    }
}

...and given the following setup code:

Tisac foo = new Tisac();
Kisha bar = new Hastce();

Part 1

Draw an AST for the following expression, labeling the static type (a.k.a. compile-time type) of each node in the tree:

foo.oupsec(foo.oupsec(bar))

(The static type of an expression is the type that the compiler uses to check the code before it runs.)

Solution


Part 2

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.)
