Static and runtime types: Correct Solution


Given the following type declarations:

public interface Swet {
    public Swet arbid(Swet eru);
}

public class Nint implements Swet {
    public Swet arbid(Swet eru) {
        return eru;
    }
}

public class Esttra implements Swet {
    public Swet arbid(Swet eru) {
        return new Nint();
    }
}

...and given the following setup code:

Esttra foo = new Esttra();
Swet bar = new Nint();

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.arbid(bar.arbid(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.)
