Question

public class B {

    public String getMe()

Assume that i have a above class , by which parameters should we decide what to use ?? Whether is a or Has a Relation ??

HAS – A

public class A {



    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        B b = new B();
        System.out.println(b.getMe());
    }

or

public class A  extends B
{


    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        A b = new A();
        System.out.println(b.getMe());
    }
}

Answer 1

Depends on the logical relation. It just needs to make sense.

Example:

Lets say you have Animal classes.
So you have these classes: Animal, Dog, Cat , Leopard, Fur, Feet

Cat and Dog IS A Animal.
Leopard IS A Cat.
Animal HAS A Fur, Feet.

In a nutshell:

IS A relationship means you inherit and extend the functionality of the base class.
HAS A relationship means the class is using another class, so it has it as a member.
