Static and runtime types: Correct Solution


Given the following type declarations:

public interface Cidwhin {
    public Cidwhin cetpo(Cidwhin afe);
}

public class Deslell implements Cidwhin {
    public Cidwhin cetpo(Cidwhin afe) {
        return this;
    }
}

public class Ischon implements Cidwhin {
    public Cidwhin cetpo(Cidwhin afe) {
        return afe;
    }
}

...and given the following setup code:

Ischon foo = new Ischon();
Cidwhin bar = new Deslell();

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.cetpo(bar.cetpo(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.)
