Re: Study Question Help

I have a question about a quiz question I took in a book. The book
states that the out statement will NOT cause a compiler error. I'm
thinking it does, because Fez inherits b as a private member and you
can't output a private with the dot operator. Where am I wrong?

Does the compiler allow it since the out statement is in Fez, so it is
really not "exposing" something private to another class?

package pA;
public class Foo{
     protected int b = 6;
}

package pB;
import pA;
public class Fez extends Foo{
   public static void main(String args[] ){

        System.out.println("next == " + new Fez().b);

   }
}
