Java Classes and Inheritance Quiz

What does the @Override annotation indicate in Java?

Debugging in Java only involves correcting syntax errors.

What are three powerful debugging tools in Java?

The Dog class can override the makeSound method to return '___'.

Match the debugging techniques with their descriptions:

What is the purpose of a constructor in a Java class?

In Java, private attributes can be accessed directly from outside the class.

What do getters and setters do in a Java class?

The class Dog is a _______ of the class Animal.

Match the Java components with their descriptions:

Which keyword is used to indicate that a class is inheriting another class?

The Object class is the root class of all Java classes.

What is the output of the makeSound method in the Dog class?

Classes and Methods

Classes are like blueprints, defining types of objects.
Classes have attributes (data) and methods (functions).
public class Card declares a public class named Card.
private String suit and private int rank declare private attributes, accessible only within the Card class.
public Card(String suit, int rank) is a constructor, used to initialize objects of the Card class.
getSuit and setSuit are getter and setter methods, providing controlled access to private attributes.
Getters allow other classes to read attribute values.
Setters allow other classes to modify attribute values.

Inheritance

Inheritance lets a class inherit attributes and methods from a superclass.
public class Dog extends Animal means Dog is a subclass of Animal.
Subclasses inherit public methods from superclasses.
@Override indicates that a method in a subclass overrides a method from the superclass.
This allows subclasses to provide their own unique behavior while inheriting common methods.

Debugging

Debugging is the process of finding and fixing errors in code.
Three debugging tools:
- Error messages provide information about syntax or runtime errors.
- System.out.println() statements allow inspecting variable values and program execution.
- IDE debuggers allow setting breakpoints to pause execution, inspect variables and step through code.

Test your understanding of classes, methods, and inheritance in Java. This quiz covers class attributes, constructors, access modifiers, and the concept of subclassing in object-oriented programming. Challenge your knowledge and see how well you grasp these fundamental concepts!
