Chapter 11 Inheritance and Polymorphism Section 11.2 Superclasses and Subclasses 1. Object-oriented programming allows you to derive new classes from existing classes. This is called ____________. a. encapsulation b. inheritance c. abstraction d. generalization Key:b # 2. Which of the following statements are true? a. A subclass is a subset of a superclass. b. A subclass is usually extended to contain more functions and more detailed information than its superclass. c. "class A extends B" means A is a subclass of B. d. "class A extends B" means B is a subclass of A. Key:bc # Section 11.3 Using the super Keyword Section 11.3.1 Calling Superclass Constructors 3. Suppose you create a class Square to be a subclass of GeometricObject. Analyze the following code: class Square extends GeometricObject { double length; Square(double length) { GeometricObject(length); } } a. The program compiles fine, but you cannot create an instance of Square because the constructor does not specify the length of the Square. b. The program has a compile error because you attempted to invoke the GeometricObject class's constructor illegally. c. The program compiles fine, but it has a runtime error because of invoking the Square class's constructor illegally. Key:b You have use super() or super(withapproriatearguments) to invoke a super class constructor explicitly. # 4. Analyze the following code: public class A extends B { } class B { public B(String s) { } } a. The program has a compile error because A does not have a default constructor. b. The program has a compile error because the default constructor of A invokes the default constructor of B, but B does not have a default constructor. c. The program would compile fine if you add the following constructor into A: A(String s) { } d. The program would compile fine if you add the following constructor into A: A(String s) { super(s); } Key:bd # 5. Analyze the following code: public class Test extends A { public static void main(String[] args) { Test t = new Test(); t.print(); } } class A { String s; A(String s) { this.s = s; } public void print() { System.out.println(s); } } a. The program does not compile because Test does not have a default constructor Test(). b. The program has an implicit default constructor Test(), but it cannot be compiled, because its super class does not have a default constructor. The program would compile if the constructor in the class A were removed. c. The program would compile if a default constructor A(){ } is added to class A explicitly. d. The program compiles, but it has a runtime error due to the conflict on the method name print. Key:bc See the last Note in the section, "Using the super keyword." # Section 11.3.2 Constructor Chaining 6. What is the output of running class C? class A { public A() { System.out.println( "The default constructor of A is invoked"); } } class B extends A { public B() { System.out.println( "The default constructor of B is invoked"); } } public class C { public static void main(String[] args) { B b = new B(); } } a. Nothing displayed b. "The default constructor of B is invoked" c. "The default constructor of A is invoked" followded by "The default constructor of B is invoked" d. "The default constructor of B is invoked" followed by "The default constructor of A is invoked" e. "The default constructor of A is invoked" Key:c Superclass's constructor is called before executing the statements in the subclass constructor. # 7. Which of the following is incorrect? a. A constructor may be static. b. A constructor may be private. c. A constructor may invoke a static method. d. A constructor may invoke an overloaded constructor. e. A constructor invokes its superclass no-arg constructor by default if a constructor does not invoke an overloaded constructor or its superclass’s constructor. Key:a A constructor cannot be static, because you use a constructor to create a specific instance. A constructor may be private. In this case, the use cannot create an instance using this constructor. For example, the constructor in the Math class is private. A constructor may invoke a static method just like any method can invoke a static method. A constructor can invoke an overloaded constructor using the this keyword. So, the correct answer is A. # Section 11.3.3 Calling Superclass Methods 8. Which of the statements regarding the super keyword is incorrect? a. You can use super to invoke a super class constructor. b. You can use super to invoke a super class method. c. You can use super.super.p to invoke a method in superclass's parent class. d. You cannot invoke a method in superclass's parent class. Key:c Using super.super is not allowed in Java. So, the answer to this question is C. # Section 11.4 Overriding Methods 9. Analyze the following code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { B b = new B(); b.m(5); System.out.println("i is " + b.i); } } class A { int i; public void m(int i) { this.i = i; } } class B extends A { public void m(String s) { } } a. The program has a compile error, because m is overridden with a different signature in B. b. The program has a compile error, because b.m(5) cannot be invoked since the method m(int) is hidden in B. c. The program has a runtime error on b.i, because i is not accessible from b. d. The method m is not overridden in B. B inherits the method m from A and defines an overloaded method m in B. Key:d # 10. The getValue() method is overridden in two ways. Which one is correct? I: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { A a = new A(); System.out.println(a.getValue()); } } class B { public String getValue() { return "Any object"; } } class A extends B { public Object getValue() { return "A string"; } } II: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { A a = new A(); System.out.println(a.getValue()); } } class B { public Object getValue() { return "Any object"; } } class A extends B { public String getValue() { return "A string"; } } a. I b. II c. Both I and II d. Neither Key:b # Section 11.5 Overriding vs. Overloading 11. Which of the following statements are true? a. To override a method, the method must be defined in the subclass using the same signature and compatible return type as in its superclass. b. Overloading a method is to provide more than one method with the same name but with different signatures to distinguish them. c. It is a compile error if two methods differ only in return type in the same class. d. A private method cannot be overridden. If a method defined in a subclass is private in its superclass, the two methods are completely unrelated. e. A static method cannot be overridden. If a static method defined in the superclass is redefined in a subclass, the method defined in the superclass is hidden. Key:abcde # 12. Which of the following statements are true? a. A method can be overloaded in the same class. b. A method can be overridden in the same class. c. If a method overloads another method, these two methods must have the same signature. d. If a method overrides another method, these two methods must have the same signature. e. A method in a subclass can overload a method in the superclass. Key:ade # 13. Analyze the following code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { new B(); } } class A { int i = 7; public A() { System.out.println("i from A is " + i); } public void setI(int i) { this.i = 2 * i; } } class B extends A { public B() { setI(20); // System.out.println("i from B is " + i); } @Override public void setI(int i) { this.i = 3 * i; } } a. The constructor of class A is not called. b. The constructor of class A is called and it displays "i from A is 7". c. The constructor of class A is called and it displays "i from A is 40". d. The constructor of class A is called and it displays "i from A is 60". Key:b When invoking new B(), B's superclass A's constructor is invoked first. So it displays i from A is 7. # 14. Analyze the following code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { new B(); } } class A { int i = 7; public A() { setI(20); System.out.println("i from A is " + i); } public void setI(int i) { this.i = 2 * i; } } class B extends A { public B() { // System.out.println("i from B is " + i); } @Override public void setI(int i) { this.i = 3 * i; } } a. The constructor of class A is not called. b. The constructor of class A is called and it displays "i from A is 7". c. The constructor of class A is called and it displays "i from A is 40". d. The constructor of class A is called and it displays "i from A is 60". Key:d When invoking new B(), B's superclass A's constructor is invoked first. It invokes setI(20). The setI method in B is used becasue object created is new B(). The setI method in B assigns 3 * 20 to i. So it displays i from A is 60. # Section 11.6 The Object Class and Its toString() Method 15. Analyze the following code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Object a1 = new A(); Object a2 = new Object(); System.out.println(a1); System.out.println(a2); } } class A { int x; @Override public String toString() { return "A's x is " + x; } } a. The program cannot be compiled, because System.out.println(a1) is wrong and it should be replaced by System.out.println(a1.toString()); b. When executing System.out.println(a1), the toString() method in the Object class is invoked. c. When executing System.out.println(a2), the toString() method in the Object class is invoked. d. When executing System.out.println(a1), the toString() method in the A class is invoked. Key:cd Since a1 is an instance of A, the toString() method in the A class is invoked at runtime. # Sections 11.7-11.8 16. Which of the following statements is false? a. You can always pass an instance of a subclass to a parameter of its superclass type. This feature is known as polymorphism. b. The compiler finds a matching method according to parameter type, number of parameters, and order of the parameters at compile time. c. A method may be implemented in several subclasses. The Java Virtual Machine dynamically binds the implementation of the method at runtime. d. Dynamic binding can apply to static methods. e. Dynamic binding can apply to instance methods. Key:d Dynamic binding is applied to instance methods, not static methods. Static methods are bound in the compile time. # 17. Given the following code, find the compile error. public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { m(new GraduateStudent()); m(new Student()); m(new Person()); m(new Object()); } public static void m(Student x) { System.out.println(x.toString()); } } class GraduateStudent extends Student { } class Student extends Person { @Override public String toString() { return "Student"; } } class Person extends Object { @Override public String toString() { return "Person"; } } a. m(new GraduateStudent()) causes an error b. m(new Student()) causes an error c. m(new Person()) causes an error d. m(new Object()) causes an error Key:cd You cannot pass a supertype variable to a subtype without explicit casting. # 18. What is the output of the following code? public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { new Person().printPerson(); new Student().printPerson(); } } class Student extends Person { @Override public String getInfo() { return "Student"; } } class Person { public String getInfo() { return "Person"; } public void printPerson() { System.out.println(getInfo()); } } a. Person Person b. Person Student c. Stduent Student d. Student Person Key:b # 19. What is the output of the following code? public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { new Person().printPerson(); new Student().printPerson(); } } class Student extends Person { private String getInfo() { return "Student"; } } class Person { private String getInfo() { return "Person"; } public void printPerson() { System.out.println(getInfo()); } } a. Person Person b. Person Student c. Stduent Student d. Student Person Key:a Note that the getInfo method is private in Person. It is not known to the outside of the class. This is the method invoked from the printPerson() method. # Section 11.9 Casting Objects and the instanceof Operator 20. Which of the following are Java keywords? a. instanceOf b. instanceof c. cast d. casting Key:b A simple rule: the keywords are all in lowercase. # 21. Assume Cylinder is a subtype of Circle. Analyze the following code: Cylinder cy = new Cylinder(1, 1); Circle c = cy; a. The code has a compile error. b. The code has a runtime error. c. The code is fine. Key:c You can assign a variable of a subtype to a supertype. # 22. Assume Cylinder is a subtype of Circle. Analyze the following code: Circle c = new Circle (5); Cylinder c = cy; a. The code has a compile error. b. The code has a runtime error. c. The code is fine. Key:a You cannot assign a variable of a supertype to a subtype without explicit casting. # 23. Given the following classes and their objects: class C1 {}; class C2 extends C1 {}; class C3 extends C1 {}; C2 c2 = new C2(); C3 c3 = new C3(); Analyze the following statement: c2 = (C2)((C1)c3); a. c3 is cast into c2 successfully. b. You will get a runtime error because you cannot cast objects from sibling classes. c. You will get a runtime error because the Java runtime system cannot perform multiple casting in nested form. d. The statement is correct. Key:b # 24. Given the following code: class C1 {} class C2 extends C1 { } class C3 extends C2 { } class C4 extends C1 {} C1 c1 = new C1(); C2 c2 = new C2(); C3 c3 = new C3(); C4 c4 = new C4(); Which of the following expressions evaluates to false? a. c1 instanceof C1 b. c2 instanceof C1 c. c3 instanceof C1 d. c4 instanceof C2 Key:d # 25. Analyze the following code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { String s = new String("Welcome to Java"); Object o = s; String d = (String)o; } } a. When assigning s to o in Object o = s, a new object is created. b. When casting o to s in String d = (String)o, a new object is created. c. When casting o to s in String d = (String)o, the contents of o is changed. d. s, o, and d reference the same String object. Key:d Casting object reference variable does not affect the contents of the object. # 26. You can assign _________ to a variable of Object[] type. a. new char[100] b. new int[100] c. new double[100] d. new String[100] e. new java.util.Date[100] Key:de Primitive data type array is not compatible with Object[]. # Section 11.10 The Object’s equals() Method 27. The equals method is defined in the Object class. Which of the following is correct to override it in the String class? a. public boolean equals(String other) b. public boolean equals(Object other) c. public static boolean equals(String other) d. public static boolean equals(Object other) Key:b # 28.

Choose informative names for classes, data fields, and methods. Key:abcd # 29. What is the output of the following code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Object o1 = new Object(); Object o2 = new Object(); System.out.print((o1 == o2) + " " + (o1.equals(o2))); } } a. false false b. true true c. false true d. true false Key:a o1 == o2 is false, since o1 and o2 are two different objects. o1.equals(o2) is false since the equals method returns o1 == o2 in the Object class. # 30. What is the output of the following code: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { String s1 = new String("Java"); String s2 = new String("Java"); System.out.print((s1 == s2) + " " + (s1.equals(s2))); } } a. false false b. true true c. false true d. true false Key:c s1 == s2 is false, since s1 and s2 are two different objects. s1.equals(s2) is true since the equals method returns true if two strings have the same content. # 31.

Program 1 displays true and Program 2 displays true b. Program 1 displays false and Program 2 displays true c. Program 1 displays true and Program 2 displays false d. Program 1 displays false and Program 2 displays false Key:c In Program 1, the equals method in the Object class is overridden. a1.equals(a2) invokes this method. It returns true. In Program 2, the equals method in the Object class is not overridden. a1.equals(a2) invokes the equals method defined in the Object class, which returns false in this case. # 34. Analyze the following code. // Program 1: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Object a1 = new A(); Object a2 = new A(); System.out.println(a1.equals(a2)); } } class A { int x; public boolean equals(A a) { return this.x == a.x; } } // Program 2: public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { A a1 = new A(); A a2 = new A(); System.out.println(a1.equals(a2)); } } class A { int x; public boolean equals(A a) { return this.x == a.x; } } a. Program 1 displays true and Program 2 displays true b. Program 1 displays false and Program 2 displays true c. Program 1 displays true and Program 2 displays false d. Program 1 displays false and Program 2 displays false Key:b In Program 1, the equals method in the Object class is invoked. In Program 2, the equals method in the class A is invoked. There are now two overloaded methods available in the class A. i.e. public boolean equals(Object a) and public boolean equals(A a). Which of the two is used by a1.equals(a2) is determined at compile time. a1.equals(a2) in Program 1 matches the equals method defined in Object and a1.equals(a2) in Program 2 matches the equals method defined in the class A. # 35. Analyze the following code. // Program 1 public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { Object a1 = new A(); Object a2 = new A(); System.out.println(((A)a1).equals((A)a2)); } } class A { int x; public boolean equals(A a) { return this.x == a.x; } } // Program 2 public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { A a1 = new A(); A a2 = new A(); System.out.println(a1.equals(a2)); } } class A { int x; public boolean equals(A a) { return this.x == a.x; } } a.
