Quiz 1: Inheritance, accessing methods and constructors of a super class.

What happens when the following program is compiled and run?

public class SuperB {

	protected int a = 2;
	protected int b = 3;

	public SuperB() {
		a += 1;
		b += 2;
		System.out.print("-b" + b);
	}
	public SuperB(int i) {
		this();
		b -= 1;
		System.out.print("-b" + a);
		a -= 1;
	}
	public int getB(){
		this.a += 2;
		this.b += 4;
		return b - a;
	}
}

public class SuperA extends SuperB {

	int a;
	int b = 1;

	public SuperA() {
		super(3);
		a += 7;
		b += 5;
	}
}

public class MySub extends SuperA {

	public MySub() {
		System.out.print("-b" + a);
		System.out.print("-b" + b);
		System.out.print("-b" + getB());
	}
	public static void main(String[] args){
		MySub mySub = new MySub();
	}
}
