neeed help !!!!

how can this be donw???

Given classes A, B, and C, where B extends A, and C extends B, and where all classes implement the instance method void doIt(). How can the doIt() method in A be called from an instance method in C?

Hint:
1. Write a program that has classes A, B, and C as you described them.

2. Give each a "doIt()" method that just says 'System.out.println ("A::doIt()");'

3. Create a "main()". Have it create any one class (it doesn't matter which).

Have your "main()" call that object's (currently one-line) "do_it()".

Verify that it works.

4. Now that you've got a working program to play with, see if you
can think of a solution to the actual problem.

Hint:
There are actually *several* different solutions. Some good, others
not so good.

The trick is to start *somewhere*.

Try steps 1) through 4), and see how far you get!

Paul's post notwithstanding, the answer is "you can't, unless class B helps you out." Java is deliberately designed to make what you describe impossible, unless class B provides a "backdoor" so that A's "doIt" can be called independently of the override.
