Also, an independent contractor is generally one who has the opportunity to make a profit, or the risk of taking an out-of-pocket loss, while an employee generally does not have that opportunity nor does he take that risk.
Inheritance is the process wherein characteristics are inherited from ancestors. Similarly, in Java, a subclass inherits the characteristics (properties and methods) of its superclass (ancestor). For example, a vehicle is a superclass and a car is a subclass. The car (subclass) inherits all of the vehicleâs properties.
In Java (and in OOP in general) the objects have two kind of fields(variable). Instance variables(or object variable) are fields that belongs to a particular instance of an object.Static variables (or class variable) are common to all the instance of the same class. Here's an example:usage:n the same class, we have an object variable, flavor. This is dependent on the instance of the class, and is set in the constructor. So now you can access this specific muffin's flavor by calling myMuffin.flavor. Notice how we need to instantiate a Muffin object before we can access its flavor.
