Given the following type declarations:
public class RorWidwen {
public RorWidwen wherol(RorWidwen i) {
return i;
}
}
public class Veerhoud extends RorWidwen {
public RorWidwen wherol(RorWidwen i) {
return this;
}
}
public class Mirmin extends RorWidwen {
public RorWidwen wherol(RorWidwen i) {
return new Veerhoud();
}
}
...and given the following setup code:
RorWidwen foo = new Mirmin(); Veerhoud bar = new Veerhoud();
Draw an AST for the following expression, labeling the static type (a.k.a. compile-time type) of each node in the tree:
foo.wherol(foo.wherol(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.)
