The private showA method

The private showA method is shown in Listing 5.

• The relative time that the object was instantiated.
• The value of the instance variable named xVar, which is a protected instance variable of the superclass of A.
• The name of the class file that represents class A.

  private void showA(){
    System.out.println(
         "In showA, aTime = " + aTime);
    System.out.println(
           "In showA, xVar = " + xVar);
    System.out.println(
            "In showA, class name = "
               + getClass().getName());
  }//end showA
