Let's say I have the following class.....


public class ComparableRectangle extends Rectangle implements
Comparable {
  public ComparableRectangle(double width, double height) {
    super(width, height);
  }

  public int compareTo(Object o) {
    if (getArea() > ((ComparableRectangle)o).getArea())
      return 1;
    else if (getArea() < ((ComparableRectangle)o).getArea())
      return -1;
    else
      return 0;
  }
}


Are 'width' and 'height' data fields in this class? My initial guess
is yes. However, the fact that they are passed to super() makes me
wonder otherwise.
