Figure 13.21 Enhanced version of Salaried class that includes tax deduction
a protected modifier on the salary variable in Salaried3, you can define the getPay method in
the SalariedAndCommissioned2 class like this: public double getPay()
13.10 The protected Access Modifier 543
/*********************************************

public class Salaried3 extends Employee3

public double getPay()
{
pay =Apsaalagryo; pay -= getFICA(pay);
return pay;

double
This allows direct access from descendant classes.
This calls protected method at top of subtree.
}
// end class Salaried3
} // end getPay
{
}
protected in Salaried3
double pay = salary + COMMISSION_RATE
pay -= getFICA(pay);
sales = 0.0;
return pay;
// end getPay
// reset for next pay period
So there you have it. Polymorphism enables you to put heterogeneous objects into generic arrays whose type is either a class the objects’ classes descend from or an interface the objects’ classes implement. Then you can cast array elements into subclass or interface types, so the array elements can make method calls that are specific to their subclass or interface. The JVM finds the method that best matches the calling
* sales;
protected in Employee3
