Hiding : Happens during inheritance (between superclass and subclass).
Shadowing : Happens within a class (between a member variable and local variable).
Examples :
Hiding :
class Parent {
String city = “Dallas”;
}
class Child extends Parent {
String city =”Zurich”;
}
“city” in Child hides the one in Parent.
Shadowing :
class Main {
String city = “Dallas”;
void method() {
String city = “Zurich”;
}
}
“city”, local variable shadows the member variable.
