Questions and Answers

What is the primary characteristic of a default constructor?

  • It initializes all fields with specific values provided by the user.
  • It can only be used within an internal class.
  • It is parameterless and sets fields to default values. (correct)
  • It is parameterized and requires at least one argument.

Which statement correctly describes the visibility of a default constructor based on class type?

  • It can be set to internal visibility only in internal classes.
  • It will be private if the class is private and public if the class is public. (correct)
  • It is always public irrespective of the class type.
  • It can be private only if the class is declared as abstract.

What happens to numeric fields in a class when a default constructor is called?

  • They are converted to strings.
  • They retain their last known values.
  • They are initialized to 0. (correct)
  • They are set to their maximum values.

Study Notes

Default Constructors

  • Default constructors are parameterless.
  • They set numeric fields to 0.
  • They set boolean fields to false.
  • They set character fields to Unicode 0.
  • They set string fields to null.
  • They set object fields to null.
  • Default constructors are public when the class is public.
  • Default constructors are private when the class is private.
  • Default constructors are protected when the class is abstract.
  • Default constructors are internal when the class is internal.

Method Return Types

  • A method with a return type of void cannot return anything.

Valid Identifiers

  • _age is a valid identifier.
  • age is a valid identifier.
  • age_ is a valid identifier.

Switch Statements

  • The break keyword prevents falling through a switch case.
  • The break statement stops execution from falling through to the next matching case expressions.
  • The default keyword executes a sequence of statements when the switch expressions do not match any of the case statements.
  • The default keyword sets the default of a parameter to a default value when no value is passed.
  • The case keyword represents a value that the switch expression could match.

Method Body

  • In C#, the body of a method is everything between the curly braces.

Overridden Methods

  • Overridden methods in child classes must have the same name, return type, visibility & parameter list as the method in the parent class.

Methods in Child Classes

  • Methods in child classes can be accessed by the same class and any child classes.

Abstract Classes and Interfaces

  • Abstract classes can contain both abstract and non-abstract methods.
  • Interfaces can only contain abstract methods.
  • Neither abstract classes nor interfaces can be instantiated in C#.
