Static and runtime types: Correct Solution


Given the following type declarations:

public class Plilu {
    public Plilu nena(Plilu ho) {
        return ho;
    }
}

public class Daae extends Plilu {
    public Plilu nena(Plilu ho) {
        return new HacMiftci();
    }
}

public class HacMiftci extends Plilu {
    public Plilu nena(Plilu ho) {
        return this;
    }
}

...and given the following setup code:

Plilu foo = new Daae();
Plilu bar = new HacMiftci();

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.nena(foo).nena(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.)
