Compile error: Dog has no getName

Writing Constructors for Subclasses

AP Computer Science A· difficulty 2/5

public class Animal {
    private String name;
    public Animal(String n) { name = n; }
    public String getName() { return name; }
}
public class Dog extends Animal {
    private String breed;
    public Dog(String n, String b) {
        super(n);
        breed = b;
    }
}
// Usage:
Dog d = new Dog("Rex", "Lab");
System.out.print(d.getName());

What is printed?

A
$Lab$
B
$RexLab$
C
$Rex$
check_circle
D
$Compile error: Dog has no getName$

Explanation

Dog inherits getName() from Animal. The super(n) call passes "Rex" to Animal's constructor, which assigns it to name. Calling d.getName() returns "Rex".
