Static and runtime types: Correct Solution


Given the following type declarations:

public interface Brulswiom {
    public Brulswiom fiuCistue(Brulswiom a);
}

public class Phunflarph implements Brulswiom {
    public Brulswiom fiuCistue(Brulswiom a) {
        return new Phunflarph();
    }
}

public class Esspitch implements Brulswiom {
    public Brulswiom fiuCistue(Brulswiom a) {
        return a;
    }
}

...and given the following setup code:

Esspitch foo = new Esspitch();
Phunflarph bar = new Phunflarph();

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.fiuCistue(bar).fiuCistue(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.)
