Hi,

So let's say we have base class A

Class B is child of A

Class C is child of B

And let's say the base class A has a method with some

logic called commonMethod

In class B that extends A, I don't want to apply the logic in the common method so i overrided it and returned nth

Now in class C that extends B...i want the logic of the method in the base class

Can i let class C skip B in this certain method and look at the base method?

I have the same question (0)

No, it's not possible. You'll need to look a better design.

For example, class A may have a method that decides whether the logic should be run or not. It would return true in class A, class B would override it and return false and class C would override it again and return true.

Or maybe C shouldn't extend B at all, if the logic of its current parent (B) isn't suitable.
