Super Two false
The class One is never initialized, because it not used actively and therefore is never
linked to. The class Two is initialized only after its superclass Super has been initial-
ized.
Example 12.4.1-2. Only The Class That Declares static Field Is Initialized
class Super {
static int taxi = 1729;
}
class Sub extends Super {
static { System.out.print("Sub "); }
}
class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(Sub.taxi);
}
}
This program prints only:
1729
because the class Sub is never initialized; the reference to Sub.taxi is a reference to a
field actually declared in class Super and does not trigger initialization of the class Sub .
Example 12.4.1-3. Interface Initialization Does Not Initialize Superinterfaces
