In general when you extend a class you shadow fields with the same name in the base class and override virtual methods with the same name and parameter list in the base class. Overriding makes the base class method invisible. Shadowing a field only hides the field from view. You can still explicitly touch the hidden shadowed field if you wish. You cannot touch an invisible overridden method.
