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.

- 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_forwardVariables with the same name as variables that have been declared in a superclass and variables that have been defined in a subclass are considered to be the same variable.arrow_forwardWith _________________, new classes of objects are derived by absorbing characteristics of existingclasses, then adding unique characteristics of their own.arrow_forward
- True or False A subclass can have more fields and methods than its superclass.arrow_forwardTrue or False ___(7) An object can be created from an interface. ___(8) An object in a super class can be assigned to a subclass variable. ___(9) Overriding and overloading a method is the same.arrow_forwardInstructions JAVA LANGUAGE The Factory Method pattern provides an interface for creating objects in a superclass but allows subclasses to alter the type of objects to be created. Use NetBeans to create a Java program that implements this design pattern. Name your project TestFactory. Create an abstract superclass named Laptop. Any subclass of an abstract class must either implement all of the abstract methods in the superclass or be declared abstract itself. Copy the code below. abstract class Laptop { public abstract int getRAM(); public abstract int getSSD(); public abstract String getCPU(); public String toString() { return "RAM="+this.getRAM()+"GB, SSD="+this.getSSD()+", CPU="+this.getCPU(); } } Create a subclass named Minimum that extends your superclass. In this class, declare three (3) private variables with the following names and data types: ram (int) ssd (int) cpu (String) Copy the code below for the constructor of your Minimum class. This constructor has…arrow_forward
- In comparison to abstract classes, interfaces provide superior advantages.arrow_forwardObject Oriented Programming (Java): True or False Statements with one line reasoning: 1. The implementation of inheritance always involves writing a few less lines. 2. The following class declaration is incorrect: public final class Class extends OtherClass {...} 3. Inheritance is only useful if specialization is used. In fact, specializing we inherit in the subclass (or subclasses) members of the superclass that we must not rewrite. Instead with the generalization we create an extra class, and then we write more code. 4. The super keyword allows you to call superclass methods and constructors. The keyword this allows you to call methods and constructors of the same class. 5. Multiple inheritance does not exist in Java because it does not exist in reality.arrow_forwardInstructions: Abstract Superclass Shape and Its Concrete Subclasses Implement the superclass Shape and its subclasses Circle, Rectangle and Square, as shown in the class diagram. Implement Unit Tests for the all classes except the abstract Shape class. In this exercise, Shape shall be defined as an abstract class, which contains: Two protected instance variables color(String) and filled(boolean). The protected variables can be accessed by its subclasses and classes in the same package. They are denoted with a '#' sign in the class diagram. Getter and setter for all the instance variables, and toString(). Two abstract methods getArea() and getPerimeter() (shown in italics in the class diagram). The subclasses Circle and Rectangle shall override the abstract methods getArea() and getPerimeter() and provide the proper implementation. They also override the toString(). Run a test class to test these statements involving polymorphism and explain the outputs with comments inside the file…arrow_forward
- When inheriting from an abstract class, a subclass is obligated to implement each and every one of the abstract methods that the parent class provides. Is there a mistake in my understanding of this?arrow_forwardNOTE: READ CAREFULLY Design a class named Person and a subclasses named Employee. Make Teacher a subclass of Employee. A Person has a name, address, and e-mail address. An Employee has an office, salary. A Teacher has office hours and a subject they teach. They also have a tenure status. Define the tenure status as a constant. The tenure status is either Senior or Junior, and is represented as an integer, where Senior is equal to 1, and Junior is equal to 2. Each class should have a Default constructor, and a constructor that accepts all arguments. There should be appropriate calls to the superclass within the constructors. Each class should also have getters and setters for each member variable. Each class should have a toString method. Note: You do NOT need to run this in a test program. Just create the classes as indicated above.arrow_forwardWhen designing a class that implements Comparable, what considerations should be made to ensure the code remains maintainable and extensible over time?arrow_forward
