'Does Scala call method associated with declared type, or method associated with parent class
Say I have a class Rectangle with a method shapeType that prints "rectangle", and a subclass Square that overrides this method to print "square".
Say I then have a variable of declared type Rectangle, e.g. var shape: Rectangle = ___
I then reassign this variable to be a Square, e.g. shape = new Square (which is allowed as Square < Rectangle)
When I call shape.shapeType, will the compiler choose to print "rectangle", or "square"?
