Horstmann Chapter 6

Invoking Superclass Methods

Can't access private fields of superclass
public class Manager extends Employee
{
   public double getSalary()
   {
      return salary + bonus; // ERROR--private field
   }
   ...
}
Be careful when calling superclass method
   public double getSalary()
   {
      return getSalary() + bonus; // ERROR--recursive call
   }
