Hi
I have an abstract class with abstract methods and non abstract methods. Among those non abstract methods one of them is setSensorID(mutator). Well I wanted to know how we use that method from it's descendant.
My setSensorID is like this:

(Toggle Plain Text)

public void setSensorID(int inSensorID)
{
     sensorID=inSensorID;
}

I have to set setSensorID to a value from it's descendant. I know that I have to use the keyword super(i think so, not sure) but I don't know how to do it.
So if someone could help me I would be very grateful.

calling it like normal doesn't work? "anObject.setSensorID( 7 )" doesn't do it for you? (i'm slightly rusty)

Check with your rabbit; I think he has the answer.
