Program Plan Intro

To find the correct option that can be used as a reliable way to find which class is a base class and which is a derived class.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
Program Description Answer

b. try saying the two class names together.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation:

Classes can be derived from other classes in Java, as in other object-oriented programming languages. A subclass is called to be the derived class. The superclass is the class from which it is derived. The extended keyword in Java can be used to declare a class as a subclass of another class. Subclasses inherit variables and methods from their superclasses and can utilize them as if they were specified within the subclass.

A reliable way that will help to find which of the two classes is the base class and which is a subclass is by try saying the two class names together.

By saying the names of both base class and derived class, one should check which class is containing more generalized features and which is not. A class that contains more generalized features should be considered as the base class and the other one should be considered as the derived one.

For example: Consider two classes Birds and Pigeon. If we call the names of both, surely, the Birds class will contain more generalized features instead of the Pigeon class. So, the Birds class will be a base class and the Pigeon class will be the derived one.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the correct option is option b. try saying the two class names together.

Why do we need encapsulation? What happens if data is not encapsulated within a class? Is there a way to access data which is encapsulated in a class? Give examples to encapsulate data within class and package.   There is an online banking system where a user can view his contact info, account summary, add few beneficiaries account details. The bank officer can also view user's contact info, account summary, ATM card charges, bank charges, and other deductions. Create a class Customer and define its attributes and method names with proper access modifiers i.e. public, private or default.
I need to write a jave program to keep track of a team sport. Write a class, Team.java, that has the following: * two private instance variables: a String named color and an int named score. * a default constructor with no parameters that initializes color to "Red" and score to zero. * a constructor that takes two parameters (one for each instance variable) and sets the values of the instance variables. * a public getter and setter method for each instance variable. * a toString method that returns the color and score in the following format: "Red Team with 0 points."
