Polymorphism Question

**Daniel Andersson** · January 14th, 2019, 02:17 PM

Hi today I got this question on my java exam regarding polymorphism.

Hamburger h = new Hamburger();
FastFood food1 = h;
Food food2 = new Hamburger();
Item Item1 = food2;

"What would be the difference between using the object food2 and the object h? " - Write down all your assumptions.

I would start with the assumption that that Food is a superclass of Hamburger.
But then to the unanswered question. What would the difference between the object food2 and the object h?
As i understand polymorphism both objects still get the method defined in Hamburger. So what would be the difference?

what would be the difference?

Try writing a small program with those classes and methods to demonstrate what happens. Have the methods print something to show which method was being executed.
