B This method calls a public method in its superclass.
C This method calls a public method in its subclass.
D This method calls a private method in its superclass
Question 12
If a super class named Pet and a sub class named Cat both have an instance method named methodOne() with the same method declarations, the Cat class would call methodOne() in the Pet class as follows:
Answer
A this.methodOne();
B Pet.methodOne();
C Cat.methodOne();
D super.methodOne();
E methodOne();
Question 13
Consider the following code snippet:
public class Motorcycle extends Vehicle
{
private String model;
. . .
public Motorcycle(int numberAxles, String modelName)
{
model = modelName;
super(numberAxles);

Answer
A It invokes a private method of the Vehicle class from within a method of the Motorcycle class.
B It invokes the constructor of the Motorcycle class from within the constructor of the Vehicle class.
C This code will not compile.
D It invokes the constructor of the Vehicle class from within the constructor of the Motorcycle class.

}
public class B extends A {
public void m() {System.out.println ("m in class B");}

Question 18
Given the following 3 data definition classes that will provide structure for a application to manage inventory at a store that sells Produce and Grocery items:
public abstract class Item {
String name; double cost;
public static final double TAX = .05;
public String getName() {return name;}
public double getCost() {return cost;}
public void setName(String n) { name = n;}
public boolean setCost (double c){
cost = c;
return (c > 0 && c < 100) ? true : false;
}
abstract public double amount() ;
public double total() {return amount() * (1+TAX); }
abstract public boolean sellItem (double amt) ;
}
public class Grocery extends Item {
private int quantity;
private static int numItems = 0;
public static int getNumItems() { return numItems; }
public boolean setQty (int q)
{
quantity = q;
return (q > 0 && q < 100) ? true : false;
}
public double amount () {return quantity * getCost();}
public boolean sellItem (double amt)
{
if (amt > quantity)
return false;
quantity -= (int) (amt+ .001);
return true;
}
Grocery () {numItems++;}
}
public class Produce extends Item {
private double weight;
private static int numItems = 0;
public static int getNumItems() { return numItems; }
public boolean setWeight(double w)
{
weight = w;
return (w > 0 && w < 10) ? true : false;
}
public double amount () {return weight * getCost(); }
public boolean sellItem (double amt)
{
if (amt > weight) return false;
weight -= amt;
return true;
} Produce () {numItems++;}

Give an example (by a short code segment and explanation) of how polymorphism would be implemented.
Question 19
A Java method doing Input/Output or other tasks may encounter errors that generate exceptions. In these cases, the Java method may wish to handle the exception itself.
If a Java method wants to handle an exception, how does it do this? Augment your answer with some Java code segments, to illustrate your explanation.
