Java中的类转型分为向上转型和向下转型
转型是Java中的多态性的直接体现,另外一个体现是方法的重写和重载
1.向上转型
向上转型的目的是使得父类可以调用子类重写的父类的办法,此时父类并不能调用子类中非重写自己的方法,这些方法只能使用子类的对象或者子类访问(静态方法)
例子:
class Person {
private String name;
private int age;
String sex = "secret";
protected Person(String name, int age) {
this(name);
this.age = age;
System.out.println("Father constructor 1th");
}
protected Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
System.out.println("Father constructor 2th");
}
protected String getName() {
return name;
}
protected void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
protected int getAge() {
return age;
}
protected void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
protected String say () {
return (this.name+" is saying sth");
}
public String getOldSex() {
return sex;
}
public Person getCurrentObj () {
return this;
}
}
class Student extends Person {
String sex = "male ";
public Student(String name, int age) {
super(name, age);
System.out.println("child constructor 2th");
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public String getSex() {
return sex;
}
public Student(String name) {
super(name);
System.out.println("child constructor 1th");
}
private String school;
public String getSchool() {
return school;
}
public void setSchool(String school) {
this.school = school;
}
public String say() {
return "super.say() = "+super.say()+"\n"+this.getName() + " said something"+"\n"+"super.sex = "+super.sex;
}
}
public class T2 {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Person xiaoming = new Student("xiaoming", 21);
// Student xiaoming = new Student("xiaoming", 21);
System.out.println(xiaoming.getCurrentObj().say());
}
}
运行结果:
分析:
这里将Person xiaoming = new Student("xiaoming", 21);
就是使用了向上转型,此时转型得到的父类对象可以使用子类重写自己的say方法
但是不能访问子类独有的方法,不再举例
小结:
可以使用 父类名 对象名 = new 子类名(参数列表);
完成向上转型
2.向下转型
与向上转型不同,向下转型分为两步:
1.第一步,将子类转化为父类
2.第二步,将父类转化为子类
示例:
class Person {
private String name;
private int age;
String sex = "secret";
protected Person(String name, int age) {
this(name);
this.age = age;
System.out.println("Father constructor 1th");
}
protected Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
System.out.println("Father constructor 2th");
}
protected String getName() {
return name;
}
protected void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
protected int getAge() {
return age;
}
protected void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}
protected String say () {
return (this.name+" is saying sth");
}
public String getOldSex() {
return sex;
}
public Person getCurrentObj () {
return this;
}
}
class Student extends Person {
String sex = "male ";
public Student(String name, int age) {
super(name, age);
System.out.println("child constructor 2th");
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
public String getSex() {
return sex;
}
public Student(String name) {
super(name);
System.out.println("child constructor 1th");
}
private String school;
public String getSchool() {
return school;
}
public void setSchool(String school) {
this.school = school;
}
public String say() {
return "super.say() = "+super.say()+"\n"+this.getName() + " said something"+"\n"+"super.sex = "+super.sex;
}
public String stuUnique () {
return "unique method of Student";
}
}
public class T2 {
public static void main(String [] args) {
Person xiaoming = new Student("xiaoming", 21);
Student xiaomingstu = (Student)xiaoming;
// Student xiaoming = new Student("xiaoming", 21);
System.out.println(xiaomingstu.getCurrentObj().say());
System.out.println(xiaomingstu.stuUnique());
}
}
运行结果:
结果分析:
由于向下转型的本质是做了两次转型后又转型回来,所以最终得到的xiaomingstu可以调用
Student类中的独有方法,这与向上转型是不同的
向上转型是向下转型过程中的一环
