note we wont do your homework, you got any specific question about this in order to solve it yourself
lets start with the first:
m = t; // legal
what does this mean for class M and class T
fluid storm
M is Parentclass of T
quaint wharf
its useful for this for example:
m = t;
o = t;
means that T is a subclass of M and O, the question now is if M extends O or if O extends M
and therefore you use the illegal statement:
o = m; // illegal
which means that O extends M
so you get T -> O -> M
quaint wharf
if you have a question about that just ask
fluid storm
if you have a question about that just ask
I would then say: Class M is a superclass of classes O and X. Class T is a subclass of class O
Right?
quaint wharf
he wrong on that though
trail spruce
I checked on Chatgpt and he says something other
didnt know chatgpt was a guy
what did he say?
fluid storm
Chatgpt: "In summary, M could be a common superclass of T and X, while O is independent of the other classes or has a common superclass with T."
quaint wharf
did you specify its about java
fluid storm
Yes
quaint wharf
because some languages have multiple inheritance
quaint wharf
you end up with this
I am pretty sure this is correct
but maybe wait for someone else to verify
fluid storm
Okay, thank you very much
trail spruce
Okay, thank you very much
if o had a common superclass with t, then o = t would be illegal, since t wouldnt derive from o (unless they're talking about the o -> t -> m relationship. o = t only works if t is a subtype of o

meant to reply to this post
pretty sure squid is correct
fluid storm
Okay thank you

wait
o = m being illegal means that M does not inherit from O
it does not mean that O inherits from M
it doesn't imply it or anything, it just means that M doesn't inherit from O
i came up with this solution from another server he asked the question on
(solution deleted because i'm stupid as hell)
quaint wharf
it does *not* mean that O inherits from M
if you only talk about extends (abstract classes), then it must be the case
warped timber
no
warped timber
yes
with interfaces, that works
but they cant be interfaces based on how they're created
smart
quaint wharf
yeah but all those are classes
warped timber
yeah so O has to extend M for that to work
since M cant extend O, that's given
yeah that makes more sense
quaint wharf
yeah 
warped timber
god it is too late for me to be doing this shit
disregard fucking everything i said
quaint wharf
all good
warped timber
no its not all good, i am hired to be a java dev. i shouldnt have these issues
gdi
quaint wharf

nah this can happen, you just focused on the legal/illegal stuff and overlooked the source code given
trail spruce

happens to all of us, dont beat yourself up too much
