Question

I have a function in my superclass (Speler) that is called kiesKaart:

public Kaart kiesKaart(int spelerIndex){...}

In my subclass function, I have the same function with an other parameter that overrides (i do have @Override before it, changing this to @Override() does not help…) the super function:

public int kiesKaart(Kaart lak){...}

In my main I have an array of Spelers, where only the first is an Speler and the others are AiSpelers (this is the name of the subclass):

spelerArr[0] = new Speler(hand[0]);
for (int i=1;i<AANTALSPELERS;i++) {
    spelerArr[i] = new AiSpeler(hand[i]);
}

Later on in my code I address spelerArr[i].kiesKaart, so now I want the code to address the correct instance of kiesKaart.

How can I do this?

Answer 1

Using @Override will do nothing here because the two methods are different. The first one returns type Kaart given an int, and the second returns type int given a Kaart.

In other words, to make sure you are calling the right method, you need to make sure you send the right parameter (int for the first, Kaart for the second).
