Java中引用类型变量的转换

下面是简单的一个Demo

<pre name="code" class="java">/*
测试子父类之间的转换
*/

class grandfather
{
	void iamgrandfather(){
	System.out.println("i am grandfather");
	}
}
class father extends grandfather
{
	 void iamfather(){
	System.out.println("i am father");
	}
}

class son extends father
{
	void iamson(){
	System.out.println("i am son");
	}
}

class brother extends father
{
	void iambrother(){
	System.out.println("i am brother");
	}
}

class  Demo
{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		//father直接转换为son
		//转换结果：失败
		//son s = (son)new father();


		//son先转换为father，再从father重新转换为son。
		//转换结果：成功
		//father f = new son();
		//son s = (son)f; 
		//s.iamson();
		

		//brother先转换为father，再从father转换为son
		//转换结果：失败
		//father f = (father) new brother();
		//son s = (son)f;


		//son直接转换为father
		//转换结果：成功，且不需要强制类型转换
		//但是不能再直接引用子类的方法。
		//father f = new son();
		//f.iamfather();
		//f.iamson();//找不到iamson();
		
		//son先转换为grandfather，再转换为father
		//转换结果：成功
		grandfather gf = (grandfather) new son();
		gf.iamgrandfather();
		father f = (father)gf;
		f.iamfather();
		son s = (son)f;
		s.iamson();
	}
