Here is a simple chunk of code that does not
seem to work properly.
class junk {
protected String name;
junk(String inName)
{
name = new String(inName);
}
}
class Protect {
public static void main(String args[])
{
junk apiece = new junk("piece of junk");
System.out.println(apiece.name);
}
}
This code compiles and prints out the name of the
object. The problem is that the compiler should not have
let me do this. name is a protected variable. protected should
mean that inaccesible except to subclasses.
Any ideas or is this a bug?
I am using the beta for Win95.
