integers, dol1 and dol2, and returns the greater int between the two?
 int DolphinTalk(dol1, dol2){ if(dol1 > dol2) return dol1; else return dol2;}
 int DolphinTalk(int,int){ if(dol1 > dol2) return dol1; else return dol2;}

 All of the above
5. Cameron wishes to write a method that takes in two objects and returns the one with the greatest
value. Is this possible?
 Yes, but he will have to use two different methods, one to take in the objects and the other to
return an object.
 Yes, methods can take objects in as parameters and can also return objects all within the
same method. (*)
 No, it is not possible to return objects.
 No, it is not possible to have objects as parameters or to return objects.
6. You are assigned to write a method that compares two objects of type Career. One requirement
of your assignment is to have your method compare the "greatestPossibleSalary" instance data of
Career objects. The "greatestPossibleSalary" field is data type int.
What would be the best return type from your compare method?
 Career, because if it returns the highest paying Career object it will be able to use the same
method later to compare other aspects of Career objects. (*)
 Integer, because it is the easiest to code with.



String, because is should return a string of the name of the career that is highest paying
because none of the other information of the career matters.
Array, because it can store the most information.
7. Consider the following: There is a method A that calls method B. Method B is a variable
argument method. With this, which of the following are true?

when it is invoked by method A.

from method A. (*)

Integers, Strings, and Booleans (*)
Constructors
Arrays (*)
Objects (*)
All of the above
9. It is possible to have more than one constructor with the same name in a class, but they must
have different parameters. True or false? True (*)
False

(*)

 1
 2 or more (*)
 None

 Unidentified Molding Level, the level of access permitted by the default access specifier.
 Unified Modeling Language, a standardized language for modeling systems and structures
in programming. (*)

2. What does it mean to inherit a class?
 The subclass (or child class) gains access to any non-private methods and variables of the
superclass (or parent class). (*)
 The access specifier has been set to private.
 A way of organizing the hierarchy of classes.
 Extending a method from a superclass.
3. Which of the following correctly defines a superclass (or parent class)?
 A class that inherits methods and fields from a more general class.
 The most specific class of a hierarchy system of classes.
 A class that passes down its methods to more specialized classes. (*)
 A keyword that allows or restricts access to data and methods.
4. Which of the following correctly defines a subclass (or child class)?
 A class that inherits methods and fields from a more general class. (*)
 A keyword that allows or restricts access to data and methods.
 A class that passes down its methods to more specialized classes.
 The most general class of a hierarchy system.
5. Methods are generally declared as public so other classes may use them. True or false?
True (*)
False
6. Which is the most accurate description of the code reuse philosiphy?
 A programming philosophy that promotes stealing your classmates' code.
 A programming philosophy that promotes having no concern about the security of code.
 A programming philosophy that promotes protecting data and hiding implementation in
order to preserve the integrity of data and methods.
 A programming philosophy that promotes simpler, more efficient coding by using existing
code for new applications. (*)
7. Which of the following correctly describes the use of the keyword super?
 A keyword that restricts access to only inside the same class.
 A keyword that allows subclasses to access methods, data, and constructors from their
parent class. (*)
 A keyword that signals the end of a program.
 A keyword that allows access from anywhere.

 super(length = 5)
9. What is a hierarchy?
 A programming philosophy that promotes simpler, more efficient coding by using existing

Quiz 4 Sectiunea 7
1. Why would a programmer use polymorphism rather than sticking to a standard array?
 Because arrays only work using the same object type and polymorphism provides a way
around this. (*)
 Because it is easier to add or remove objects using polymorphism even when all of the
objects are of the same type.
 Because arrays are more complex and polymorphism simplifies them by restricting them to
only contain the same type objects.
 A programmer wouldn't use polymorphism over a standard array.
2. It is possible to override methods such as equals() and toString() in a subclass of Object to fit the
needs of the objects of the subclass. True or false?
True (*)
False
3. Is there a difference between overriding a method and overloading a method?
 Yes. Overriding is done within a single class and overloading is done through a series of
superclasses and their subclasses.
 Yes. Overriding allows for the creation of an array of different object types and overloading
restricts an array to only contain the same object types.
 Yes. Overriding is done in the subclass and allows for redefining a method inherited from
the superclass and overloading is done within a class and allows for multiple methods with
the same name. (*)
 No, they are the same.
4. Which of the following is a goal of the object model?
 Providing modular code that can be reused by other programs or classes. (*)
 Concealing implementation. (*)
 Data abstraction. (*)
 Protecting information and limiting other classes' ability to change or corrupt data. (*)
5. If Sandal extends Shoe, it is possible to declare an object such that
Sandal s = new Shoe();
True
False (*)
6. What allows Java to correctly and automatically determine which method to invoke based on the
type of object being referred to at the time the method is called?
 Abstract classes
 Polymorphism
 Inheritance
 Dynamic Method Dispatch (*)
7. Which of the following are true about an abstract class?
 It is possible to create objects of this type.
 The Java Virtual Machine does not differentiate abstract classes from concrete classes.
 It is possible to create references of this type. (*)
 It is identified by the Java keyword abstract. (*)
