Exercises

1. Get the file Class1.java.

a. Compile and run Class1. What is the output?

b. Create a file called Class2.java that defines subclasses of both Class1 and its inner class, InnerClass1. (Call the subclasses Class2 and InnerClass2, respectively.) InnerClass2 should override the getAnotherString method to return "InnerClass2 version of getAnotherString invoked". Class2 should define one constructor and one method:

• A no-argument constructor that initializes the inherited ic instance variable to be an instance of InnerClass2
• A main method that creates an instance of Class2 and invokes displayStrings on that instance

What is the output when you run Class2?
