In Scala, can internal methods be overwritten in subclasses?

Question

For example, in the following

class Base { def test() { def internal() { println("base internal") } } } 

Is it possible for an internal record to be overwritten in a subclass?

Answer 1

Not. Internal methods are virtually confidential.

Answer 2

To complete Daniel's answer: if you want to override the internal method, you must declare it as protected directly under Base .

In fact, the internal method can be considered as a block of the method itself.
