title: subclass, parent class....variable conflict?
body: <p>what will happen if my subclass and the parent class use the same variable name?</p>
  
  <p>the parent class is sorta like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public class things{
      private things[] stuff;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and the subclass is something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import java.utils.LinkedList;
  public class listOfThings extends LinkedList&lt;things&gt;{
      private LinkedList&lt;things&gt; stuff;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is this allowed? or will the linked list override the array?</p>
