Concept explainers
A new class of objects can be created conveniently by —the new class (called the subclass) starts with the characteristics of an existing class (called the superclass), possibly customizing them and adding unique characteristics of its own.

- To what use does it serve for a class to have its own destructor?arrow_forwardInterfaces provide more advantages than abstract classes.arrow_forwardWhen a subclass method has the same name, parameter list and return type as a method in the parent class, the method is said to be: extended overriden overloaded overextendedarrow_forward
- A variable having the same name as a variable that has been declared in a superclass and a subclass is considered the same variable.arrow_forwardDistinguish between implementing an interface and implementing a derived class.arrow_forwardTrue or False A subclass can override methods from its superclass.arrow_forward
- Identical-sounding variables that have been declared in a superclass and variables that have been specified in a subclass are treated as though they are two different variables.arrow_forwardThe module view of inheritance refers to: Dynamic binding Every operation applicable to the instances of a superclass is also applicable to the instances of its subclasses. A subclass describes an extension of the parent module O A subclass describes a subtype of the parent type Which statement about encapsulation is incorrect. Encapsulation provides a way to cope with change Encapsulation conceptualizes a problem at a higher level of abstraction Encapsulation facilitates software maintenance O Encapsulation conceptualizes a problem at a lower level with specific data structures O Oarrow_forwardJava - If the programmer doesn't declare any constructors for an extended class, what constructors will be inherited from the superclass? How does this inherited constructor initialize new instance variables that are not part of the superclass?arrow_forward
- A subclass must fully implement all of the abstract methods of its parent class in order to be considered a subclass of an abstract class. What are your thoughts on whether or not it should be done?arrow_forwardThe decorator pattern is used when subclassing is not possible or practical to add functionality Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardWhy does it make sense to think of a base class as a superclass of its derived class?arrow_forward
