Simple subclass, superclass question

I'm new to Java but after reading the tutorial docs on their website I can't quite see why this is false (its a question from my learning materials).

When a subclass extends a superclass, all methods that are contained in the superclass are accessible from the subclass.


What Is Inheritance? (The Java™ Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Object-Oriented Programming Concepts)
"This gives MountainBike all the same fields and methods as Bicycle..."

So why is this false?


Please can someone explain this to me?

Methods can have different "access" modifiers such as public, protected, and..... :o:

You get my hint?

aaah private :)

thanks

Exactly! You're welcome!
