Methods In Subclass Inherit?

The rule that specifies which methods get inherited by a subclass is similar to that for member variables.

Rule:
A subclass inherits all of the methods within its superclass that are accessible to that subclass (unless the method is overriden by the subclass).

That is, subclasses
1. inherit those methods declared as public or protected

2. inherit those methods declared with no access specifier as long as the subclass is in the same package as the superclass

3. don’t inherit a superclass’s method if the subclass declares a method using the same name. The method in the subclass is said to override the one in the superclass.

4. don’t inherit private methods
