Question Bank of OOPJ Unit-1 1) What is object-oriented programming in java? Ans) Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java is a programming paradigm centered around the concept of "objects." These objects represent real-world entitiesand have both data (attributes) and behaviors (methods). Java, as an object-orientedlanguage, uses this paradigm to structure code in a way that is modular, reusable, and easier to maintain. Here are the core principles of OOP in Java: 1.Classes and Objects:- A class in Java is a blueprint or template for creating objects. It defines a data type by bundling data (fields) and methods (functions) that operate on the data. The class defines the structure and behavior that the objects of this type will have. 2.Encapsulation:- In Java, encapsulation is a fundamental principle of object-oriented programming (OOP) that involves bundling the data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on the data into a single unit, typically a class. Encapsulation also restricts direct access to some of an object's components, which is a means of preventing unintended interference and misuse of the object's internal state. 3.Inheritance:- Inheritance is a core concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows one class (known as a subclass or derived class) to inherit the fields and methods of another class (known as a superclass or base class). Inheritance promotes code reuse and establishes a natural hierarchy between classes. 4.Polymorphism:Polymorphism is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that allows objects to be treated as instances of their parent class rather than their actual class. It provides a way to perform a single action in different forms. In Java, polymorphism can be achieved through method overriding and method overloading.- 2) What is data encapsulation with an Example? Ans) Data encapsulation is one of the fundamental principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). It refers to the bundling of data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on the data into a single unit, typically a class, and restrictingdirect access to some of the object's components. This is done to prevent unintended interference and misuse of the data, which is achieved through the use of access modifiers. Example:- public class Person { private String name; private int age; public Person(String name, int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public int getAge() { return age; } public void setAge(int age) { if (age >= 0) { // Validation to ensure age is not negative this.age = age; } else { System.out.println("Age cannot be negative."); } } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Person person = new Person("Alice", 25); System.out.println("Name: " + person.getName()); System.out.println("Age: " + person.getAge()); person.setName("Bob"); person.setAge(30); System.out.println("Updated Name: " + person.getName()); System.out.println("Updated Age: " + person.getAge()); person.setAge(-5); // Output: Age cannot be negative. } 3) What is Inheritance in Java with an Example? Ans) Inheritance is a fundamental concept in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) that allows a new class to inherit properties and behaviors from an existing class. In Java, inheritance promotes code reuse and establishes a natural hierarchy betweenclasses. The class that is inherited from is called the superclass (or base class), andthe class that inherits is called the subclass (or derived class). Types of Inheritance in Java: 1. Single Inheritance 2. Multiple Inheritance (through interfaces) 3.Multilevel Inheritance 4.Hierarchical Inheritance Example: class Animal { public void eat() { System.out.println("This animal eats food."); } public void sleep() { System.out.println("This animal sleeps."); } } class Dog extends Animal { public void bark() { System.out.println("The dog barks."); } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) {Dog myDog = new Dog(); myDog.eat(); myDog.sleep(); myDog.bark(); } } 4) What are the advantages of inheritance in Java? Ans) Inheritance in Java provides several advantages that contribute to moreefficient, maintainable, and scalable code. Here are the key benefits:  1. Code Reusability: Inheritance allows you to reuse code that has already been written in a superclass. This means you don’t have to write the same code again insubclasses. 2. Method Overriding: Subclasses can provide specific implementations for methodsthat are already defined in the superclass. This allows for method customization based on the subclass's needs. 3. Enhanced Code Organization: Inheritance helps in creating a hierarchical class structure that mirrors real-world relationships. This makes the code more logical andeasier to understand. 4. Easy Maintenance: Changes made to the superclass automatically propagate tosubclasses, reducing the need for changes in multiple places and making maintenance easier. 5. Polymorphism: Inheritance enables polymorphism, where a single method or property can behave differently based on the object’s runtime type. This enhancesflexibility and allows for more dynamic and extensible code. 6. Extensibility: Inheritance allows you to extend existing classes without modifying their code. You can create new subclasses to add or alter functionalities, fostering anextendable design. 7. Consistency: By inheriting common attributes and methods, subclasses maintain consistency with the superclass. This ensures that related classes adhere to a common interface or behavior. 8. Abstraction: Inheritance supports abstraction by allowing you to define a base class with abstract methods, which must be implemented by concrete subclasses. This helps in defining a general template while deferring specific implementations tosubclasses 5) What are the types of inheritance in Java? Ans) 1. Single inheritance :- Single-level inheritance in Java is a fundamental concept where a subclass inherits from only one superclass. This means that the subclass can acquire the properties and methods of the superclass, enabling code reuse andthe extension of existing functionality. 2. Multilevel inheritance :- Multilevel inheritance in Java is a feature that allows a class to inherit properties and behaviours from another class, which in turn inherits from another class, forming a "chain" of inheritance. This mechanism enables a class to inherit methods and fields from multiple ancestors but in a direct line, whereeach class in the chain inherits from one class directly above it. 3. Hierarchical inheritance :- Hierarchical inheritance in Java occurs when one baseclass (superclass) is inherited by multiple subclasses. In this type of inheritance, allthe features that are common in child classes are included in the base class. This way, the code becomes more manageable and reusable. 4. Multiple inheritance (Through interfaces) :- Multiple inheritance refers to a featurein object-oriented programming where a class can inherit properties and methods from more than one parent class. This concept allows a subclass to inherit behaviours and attributes from multiple base (or super) classes, creating a rich, multifaceted hierarchy. 5. Hybrid inheritance (Through interfaces) :- Hybrid inheritance is a combination of two or more types of inheritance, such as hierarchical, multiple, multilevel, or single inheritance. It integrates various inheritance mechanisms to achieve a specific design or functionality. However, it's important to note that due to Java's restriction on extending multiple classes directly (to avoid complexity and ambiguity issues like the Diamond Problem), hybrid inheritance in Java is primarily achieved through a mixof class inheritance (using the extends keyword) and interface implementation (usingthe implements keyword). 6) What is single inheritance and multi-level inheritance? Ans) Single inheritance :- Single-level inheritance in Java is a fundamental concept where a subclass inherits from only one superclass. This means that the subclass can acquire the properties and methods of the superclass, enabling code reuse andthe extension of existing functionality. Example :- class Animal { void eat() { System.out.println("This animal eats food."); } } class Dog extends Animal {void bark() { Multilevel inheritance :- Multilevel inheritance in Java is a feature that allows a classto inherit properties and behaviours from another class, which in turn inherits from another class, forming a "chain" of inheritance. This mechanism enables a class to inherit methods and fields from multiple ancestors but in a direct line, where each class in the chain inherits from one class directly above it. Example :- class Animal { void eat() { System.out.println("This animal eats food."); } } class Mammal extends Animal {void breathe() { System.out.println("This mammal breathes air."); } } class Dog extends Mammal {void bark() { System.out.println("This dog barks."); } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) {Dog myDog = new Dog(); myDog.eat(); myDog.breathe(); myDog.bark(); } } 7) Define the purpose of the break statement in Java. Ans) The break statement in Java is used to terminates or exit a loop or a switch statement prematurely with the syntax, break; usually placed after a condition. It allows you to control the flow of your code by breaking out of a loop when a certaincondition is met. Example :- 1) Using break in a Loop:- public class BreakExample { public static void main(String[] args) {for (int i = 1; i a[j]) 21. { 22. temp = a[i]; 23. a[i] = a[j]; 24. a[j] = temp; 25. } 26. } 27. } 28. System.out.print("Ascending Order:"); 29. for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) 30. { 31. System.out.print(a[i] + ","); 32. } 33. System.out.print(a[n - 1]); 34. } 35.} 8. What is the default value of the array? The default value of an array depends on its data type and the programminglanguagebeing used: - In Java, for example: - Numeric types (int, float, etc.) default to `0`. - Boolean types default to `false`. - Reference types (objects) default to `null`. - Char types default to `'\u0000'`. - In C/C++, uninitialized arrays have undefined values. - In Python, there is no default value since lists (dynamic arrays) must be explicitly initialized. Q9. How many ways to find the duplicate elements in an array? There are several ways to find duplicate elements in an array: 1. Brute Force: Compare each element with every other element. 2. Sorting: Sort the array and then check for consecutive duplicate elements. 3. Hashing: Use a hash table to keep track of elements that have already beenseen. 4. Set: Use a set to store elements and check if an element is already in the set. 5. Floyd's Tortoise and Hare (Cycle Detection): Specifically for detecting duplicates in arrays with a particular structure. Q10. Is it possible to declare array size as negative? ANSWER: No, it is not possible to declare an array with a negative size in most programming languages. Doing so will typically result in a compile-time error or an exception being thrown.  OOPJ ǪUESTION BANK SOLUTION CHAPTER – 5 Q.1: What is Class give a suitable example? Ans: A class is a group of objects which have common properties. It is a template orblueprintfrom which objects are created. It is a logical entity. It can't be physical. For Example: “Fruit” is a class and Mango, Apple and Banana are Objects.Syntax: class { field; method; } Suitable Example: class Student { int id; String name; } public class TestStudent3 { public static void main(String args[]) { Student s1=new Student();Student s2=new Student(); s1.id=101; s1.name="Sonu"; s2.id=102; s2.name="Monu"; System.out.println(s1.id+" "+s1.name);System.out.println(“ \n”); System.out.println(s2.id+" "+s2.name); } } OUTPUT: 101 Sonu 102 Monu Q.2: What is Object? Why we need to Create Object? Ans: An object in Java is a basic unit of Object-Oriented Programming and represents real-life entities. Objects are the instances of a class that are created touse the attributes and methods of a class. The object of a class can be created by using the new keyword in Java Programming language. We need to create an object in Java for the following reasons: 1. Encapsulation: Objects encapsulate data and methods, providing a clear structureand protecting data integrity. 2. Reusability: Objects allow code reuse through instantiation and inheritance,reducing redundancy. 3. Abstraction: Objects hide complex implementation details, exposing only necessary functionalities. 4. Modularity: Objects promote modular design, enabling easier maintenance and collaboration. 5. Inheritance: Objects can inherit properties and methods from other classes, promoting hierarchical class structures. 6. Polymorphism: Objects support polymorphism, allowing one interface to be usedfor ageneral class of actions, enhancing flexibility in code. Q.3: What is static variable and why we need them? Ans: A static variable in programming is a variable that retains its value between function calls. It is typically used to maintain state information in a function or class.Here’s why youmight need a static variable: 1. Persistent State: To retain the state across multiple function calls withoutusingglobal variables. 2. Shared Data: In object-oriented programming, a static variable in a class canbe usedto share data among all instances of that class. 3. Efficiency: To improve efficiency by avoiding the reinitialization of variablesthat areused repeatedly. Q.4: What is Constructor why we need Constructor? Ans: A constructor in Java is a special method that is used to initialize objects. The constructor is called when an object of a class is created. It can be used to set initial values for object attributes. Why We Need Constructors: 1. Initialization: Constructors allow you to set initial values for an object's attributes. 2. Setup: They can perform any setup or initialization required when the object iscreated. 3. Encapsulation: Constructors help in hiding the complexity of object creationand provide a clean interface for creating objects. Syntax :  Example : class Main { private String name; // constructor Main() { System.out.println("Constructor Called:"); name = "Programiz"; } public static void main(String[] args) { // constructor is invoked while // creating an object of the Main class Main obj = new Main(); System.out.println("The name is " + obj.name); } } Q.5: What are the rules to write Constructor? Ans: The rules to write Constructor : 1. Same Name as Class: The constructor must have the same name as the class(this is truein languages like C++ and Java). 2. No Return Type: Constructors do not have a return type, not even void. 3. Called Automatically: Constructors are called automatically when an object ofthe classis created. 4. Initialization: Constructors are used to initialize the object's attributes 6. What is single inheritance and multi-level inheritance? -Single inheritance is one in which the derived class inherits the single base class either public, private, or protected access specifier. In single inheritance, the derived class uses the features ormembers of the single base class. These base class members can be accessed by a derived class orchild class according to the access specifies specified while inheriting the parent class or base class. Syntax: Class Deerivedclass_name : access_specifier Base_Class { //Class’s Body }; -Multiple inheritance is one in which the derived class acquires two or more base classes. In multiple inheritance, the derived class is allowed to use the joint features of the inherited base classes. Every base class is inherited by the derived class by notifying the separate access specifier for each of them. The base class members can be accessed by the derived class or child class according to the access specifier specified during inheriting the parent class or base class. Syntax: Class Deerivedclass_name : access_specifier Base_Class1, access_specifier Base_Class2 { //Class’s Body }; 7. Define the purpose of the break statement in Java. Break Statement is a loop control statement that is used to terminate the loop. As soon as the break statement is encountered from within a loop, the loop iterations stop there, and control returns from the loop immediately to the first statement after the loop. Syntax: break; Here's a breakdown of how break works in different contexts: 1. In Loops: o When used inside a loop (e.g., for, while, or do-while), the break statement immediately exits the loop, regardless of the loop's condition. Control flow then continues with the statement immediately following the loop. o Example: for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {if (i == 5) { break; // Exits the loop when i equals 5 } System.out.println(i); } // Output: 0 1 2 3 4 2. In Switch Statements: o When used inside a switch block, the break statement exits the switch statement and transfers control to the statement following the switch. Without a break, execution would continue into the next case block (this is known as "fall-through"). o Example:  int day = 3; switch (day) { case 1: System.out.println("Monday"); break; case 2: System.out.println("Tuesday"); break; case 3: System.out.println("Wednesday"); break; default: System.out.println("Weekend"); } // Output: Wednesday 8. What are the advantages of Polymorphism? Polymorphism allows us to perform a single action in different ways. In other words, polymorphism allows you to define one interface and have multiple implementations. The word “poly” means many and “morphs” means forms, So it means many forms. Polymorphism provides many advantages that can improve the readability, maintainability, and efficiency of code, such as: -Code Reusability: Polymorphism provides the reuse of code, as methods with the same name can be used in different classes. -Flexibility and Dynamism: Polymorphism allows for more flexible and dynamic code, where the behaviour of an object can change at runtime depending on the context in which it is being used. -Reduced Complexity: It can reduce the complexity of code by allowing the use of the same method name for related functionality, making the code easier to read and maintain. -Simplified Coding: Polymorphism simplifies coding by reducing the number of methods and constructors that need to be written. -Better Organization: Polymorphism allows for better organization of code by grouping related functionality in one class. -Code Extensibility: Polymorphism enables code extensibility, as new subclasses can be created to extend the functionality of the superclass without modifying the existing code. -Increased Efficiency: Compile-time polymorphism can lead to more efficient coding. The compiler can choose the appropriate method to call at compile time, based on the number, types, and order of arguments passed to it. 9. What are the differences between Polymorphism and Inheritance in Java? Features Polymorphism Inheritance Definition Polymorphism allows objects of Inheritance is a mechanism where a different classes to be treated as new class (child class or subclass) objects of a common superclass. It derives properties and behaviors enables a single action to behave (methods) from an existing class differently based on the object that (parent class or superclass). It performs it. It represents an "is-a" relationship. represents a "can-do" relationship. Purpose The primary purpose of The main purpose of inheritanceis polymorphism is to allow to establish a relationship objects of different types to be between classes, allowing the  treated through a common subclass to reuse the code and interface, enabling one methodto properties of the superclass. It be used with different typesof promotes code reusability and objects. It supports dynamic establishes a hierarchy between method binding, where the classes. method that gets executed is determined at runtime based on the object type. Usage Polymorphism is used to allow Inheritance is used to create a new objects of different types to be class based on an existing class. It accessed through the same allows the new class to inherit interface. It typically involves fields and methods from the method overriding (runtime existing class and to add new fields polymorphism) or method or methods. overloading (compile-time polymorphism). Types: It can be compiled-time Inheritance can be single, hybrid, polymorphism (overload) as well multiple, hierarchical and as run-time multilevel inheritance. polymorphism (overriding). Implementation: Polymorphism is achieved through Inheritance is implemented using method overriding (using the extends keyword in class @Override annotation) for declarations and runtime polymorphism and implements keyword forinterfaces. method overloading for compile-time polymorphism Syntax Example: Animal a; class Animal { a = new Dog(); void makeSound(){ a.makeSound(); System.out.println("Animal sound"); } } class Dog extends Animal { void makeSound() { System.out.println("Bark"); } } 10. How to achieve/implement dynamic polymorphism in Java? -Dynamic polymorphism is a process or mechanism in which a call to an overridden method is to resolve at runtime rather than compile-time. It is also known as runtime polymorphism or dynamic method dispatch. We can achieve dynamic polymorphism by using the method overriding. In this process, an overridden method is called through a reference variable of a superclass. The determination of the method to be called is based on the object being referred to by the reference variable. -Method Overriding: It provides a specific implementation to a method that is already present in the parent class. It is used to achieve run-time polymorphism. Remember that, it is not possible to override the static method. Hence, we cannot override the main() method also because it is a static method. -Rules for Method Overriding o The name of the method must be the same as the name of the parent class method. o The number of parameters and the types of parameters must be the same as in the parent class. o There must exist an IS-A relationship (inheritance).  UNIT:-6 (1) Explain the concept of inheritance in object-oriented programming. What are the benefits of using inheritance? Ans:- Inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP)that allows a new class, known as a subclass or derived class, to inherit attributes and methods from an existing class, known as a superclass or base class. This mechanism facilitates code reusability and the creation of hierarchical relationshipsbetween classes. Inheritance Includes :- 1. Base Class (Superclass): This is the class from which properties and methodsare inherited. It defines common characteristics and behaviors thatcan be shared across multiple subclasses. 2. Derived Class (Subclass): This class inherits from the base class and canextend or override the functionality provided by the base class. It can alsohave additional attributes and methods unique to itself. 3. Access to Base Class Members: The derived class inherits all the non-private members (attributes and methods) from the base class. It can usethese inherited members directly or modify their behavior. 4. Overriding Methods: A subclass can provide a specific implementation of a method that is already defined in the base class. This is known as method overriding. 5. Extending Functionality: A subclass can add new attributes or methods thatarenot present in the base class, thus extending its functionality. Benefits of Using Inheritance:- 1. Code Reusability: Inheritance promotes code reuse by allowing common functionality to be defined once in a base class and inherited by multiple subclasses. This reduces redundancy and makes the codebase easier to maintain. 2. Hierarchical Classification: It helps in organizing classes in a hierarchical manner, which can represent real-world relationships. For example, a generalVehicle class can be a base class for more specific classes like Car and Truck. 3. Ease of Maintenance: Changes made in the base class automatically propagate to derived classes, provided the interface remains consistent. Thiscentralizationof code reduces the risk of inconsistencies and makes it easierto update functionality.  4. Polymorphism: Inheritance supports polymorphism, where a base class reference can point to objects of derived classes. This allows for more flexible and dynamic code that can handle objects of different derived classes throughacommon interface. 5. Extensibility: New functionality can be added through new subclasses without modifying existing code. This makes it easier to extend the systemwith new features while keeping the original base class unchanged. (2) Differentiate between a superclass and a subclass in inheritance.Providean example to illustrate this difference. Ans:- Superclass Subclass A superclass is a class that is A subclass is a class that extends a extended by other classes. It superclass. It inherits attributes and provides common attributes and methods from the superclass and can methods that can be shared by also add new attributes or methods or multiple subclasses. override existing ones. It serves as a general template or It represents a more specialized versionof foundation for other classes. The superclass the superclass. The subclass inherits and often defines generic behavior and can refine or expand the functionality characteristics that arecommon to its provided bythe superclass. subclasses. Example to Illustrate the Difference:- CODE:- // Superclass class Animal { // Attribute String name; // Constructor public Animal(String name) { this.name = name;  } // Method public void speak() { System.out.println("Some generic animal sound"); } } // Subclass 1 class Dog extends Animal { // Constructor public Dog(String name) { super(name); // Call superclass constructor } // Overridden method @Override public void speak() { System.out.println(name + " says Woof!"); } } // Subclass 2 class Cat extends Animal { // Constructor public Cat(String name) { super(name); // Call superclass constructor } // Overridden method @Override public void speak() { System.out.println(name + " says Meow!"); } } // Main class to test the example public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Animal myDog = new Dog("Buddy"); Animal myCat = new Cat("Whiskers"); myDog.speak(); // Output: Buddy says Woof! myCat.speak(); // Output: Whiskers says Meow! } } HERE, Animal(Superclass): Attributes: name(stores the name of the animal)Constructor:Initializes the nameattribute. Method: speak()provides a generic implementation for all animals.  Dog(Subclass): Inherits: name attribute and speak() method from Animal. Constructor:Calls the superclass constructor to initialize name. Overrides: speak() method to provide a specific implementation for dogs. Cat(Subclass): Inherits: name attribute and speak() method from Animal. Constructor:Calls the superclass constructor to initialize name. Overrides: speak() method to provide a specific implementation for cats. (3) Differentiate between public, private, protected, and default access modifiers in Java. How does Encapsulation relate to member access rules? Ans:- In Java, access modifiers are keywords that determine the visibility or accessibility of classes, methods, and variables. The primary access modifiersare public,private, protected, and default (no explicit modifier). Here’sa detailed differentiation between these access modifiers and an explanation of how encapsulation relates to member access rules: Public:- Visibility: Accessible from any other class or package. Usage: Use publicwhen you want a class, method, or variable to beaccessible universally. This modifier provides the widest scope of access. EXAMPLE:- public class MyClass { public int publicField; public void publicMethod() {  // accessible from anywhere } } Private:- Visibility: Accessible only within the same class. Usage: Use privateto restrict access to a class's internals, ensuringthat the datais hidden from other classes. This modifier is the most restrictive. EXAMPLE:- public class MyClass { private int privateField; private void privateMethod() { // accessible only within this class } } Protected:- Visibility: Accessible within the same package and by subclasses(even ifthey are in different packages). Usage: Use protectedto allow access to subclasses and classeswithin thesame package, but prevent access from other unrelated classes. EXAMPLE:-  public class MyClass { protected int protectedField; protected void protectedMethod() { // accessible within this package and by subclasses } } Default (Package-Private) Visibility: Accessible only within the same package. Usage: When no access modifier is specified, it is package-private bydefault. This allows access within the same package but restricts access from outsidethe package. EXAMPLE:- class MyClass { int defaultField; void defaultMethod() { // accessible only within this package } } How Encapsulation Relates to Member Access Rules: Encapsulation is an object-oriented principle that aims to bundle data (attributes) and methods that operate on the data into a single unit (class). Encapsulation also involves controlling access to the data through access modifiers to ensure that an object's internal state is protected from unintendedor harmful changes. 1. Data Hiding: Encapsulation helps in hiding the internal state of an object. By marking attributes as private, you ensure that they cannotbe accessed directly from outside the class. This prevents external classes from altering the internalstate in an uncontrolled manner. public class Person { private String name; public void setName(String name) { if (name != null && !name.isEmpty()) { this.name = name; } } public String getName() { return name; } } 2. Controlled Access: By providing public methods to access and modifyprivate data (getters and setters), you can control how the data is accessed or changed.This is crucial for maintaining the integrity and validity of the data.  public class BankAccount { private double balance; public double getBalance() { return balance; } public void deposit(double amount) { if (amount > 0) { balance += amount; } } public void withdraw(double amount) { if (amount > 0 && amount 0) { this.length = length; } } public void setWidth(double width) { if (width > 0) { this.width = width; } } public double getArea() { return length * width; } } 4. List and briefly explain the different forms of inheritance in object-oriented programming Forms of Inheritance in Object-Oriented Programming 1. Single Inheritance: o Description: In single inheritance, a class (the child class) inherits from one andonly oneparent class. o Usage: It simplifies the class hierarchy, making it easier to understand and manage. o Example: If you have a Bird class and a Sparrow class that inherits from Bird, Sparrowinherits properties and methods from Bird. 2. Multiple Inheritance: o Description: A class inherits from more than one parent class. This allows the childclass toinherit features from multiple sources. o Usage: Provides more flexibility but can introduce complexity and ambiguity, especially withmethods or properties that have the same name in different parent classes. o Example: In Python, a class FlyingCar might inherit from both Car and Airplane classes. 3. Multilevel Inheritance: o Description: In this type, a class is derived from another class, which is also derived fromanother class, creating a chain of inheritance. o Usage: It represents a hierarchy of classes, with each class inheriting from its predecessor. o Example: If Vehicle is a parent class, Car inherits from Vehicle, and ElectricCar inherits fromCar. 4. Hierarchical Inheritance: o Description: Multiple classes inherit from a single parent class. Each child class canadd itsown unique features. o Usage: Useful when multiple classes share common functionality provided by a single parentclass but also have their own specific features. o Example: A Shape class might have multiple subclasses like Circle, Rectangle, and Triangle,each inheriting from Shape. 5. Hybrid Inheritance: o Description: A combination of two or more types of inheritance. For example, a class mightuse both multiple and multilevel inheritance. o Usage: Offers advanced ways to structure classes but can be complex and difficult tomanage, especially with multiple inheritance chains. o Example: A class might inherit from multiple parent classes (multiple inheritance)and alsoserve as a base class for other classes (multilevel inheritance). 5. What are abstract classes? How are they different from concreteclasses, and whenmight you use them in your code? Definition: An abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated on its own and is typicallyused to define abase class with common functionality and to enforce a contract for derived classes. It often includes one or more abstract methods that must be implemented by subclasses. Characteristics: o Cannot be instantiated: You cannot create objects of an abstract class directly. o May include abstract methods: These are methods declared without an implementation, forcingderived classes to provide concrete implementations. o Can include concrete methods: Abstract classes can also have methods with implementations. Difference from Concrete Classes: o Concrete Classes: Can be instantiated and provide complete implementations for alltheir methods. o Abstract Classes: Provide a partial implementation, often defining an interface andsome sharedcode but leaving certain methods to be implemented by subclasses. Usage: Abstract classes are used when you have a common base class that should not be instantiated on its own, but provides shared functionality and a contract for subclasses. Forinstance, you might use an abstractclass Animal with abstract methods makeSound() and move(), and concrete subclasses like Dog and Cat thatprovide specific implementations. 6. Discuss the purpose and usage of the super keyword in inheritance. Giveexamples ofhow it can be used to access parent class members and constructors. Definition and Usage The super keyword refers to superclass (parent) objects. It is used to call superclass methods, and to access the superclass constructor. The most common use of the super keyword is to eliminate the confusion between superclasses andsubclasses that have methods with the same name. To understand the super keyword, you should have a basicunderstandingof Inheritance and Polymorphism. Example:- class Animal { // Superclass (parent) public void animalSound() { System.out.println("The animal makes a sound"); } } class Dog extends Animal { // Subclass (child) public void animalSound() { super.animalSound(); // Call the superclass method System.out.println("The dog says: bow wow"); } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Animal myDog = new Dog(); // Create a Dog object myDog.animalSound(); // Call the method on the Dog object  } } 7. Explain the concept of method overriding in inheritance. How doesit contribute to polymorphism? ANS: Method Overriding in Inheritance Method overriding is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that enables subclasses to provide a specific implementation for a method already defined intheir superclass. Key Points: - Same Method Name: The subclass method has the same name as the superclass method. - Same Return Type: The subclass method has the same return type as the superclassmethod. - Same Parameter List: The subclass method has the same parameter list as the superclassmethod. - Different Implementation: The subclass method provides a different implementationthanthe superclass method. Contribution to Polymorphism: Method overriding contributes to polymorphism by allowing objects of different classes to respond to the same method call. This enables more flexibility and generic code, as objects of different classes can be treated as objects of a common superclass type. EXAMPLE: // Superclass: Animal class Animal { void sound() { System.out.println("The animal makes a sound"); } } // Subclass: Dog class Dog extends Animal { @Override void sound() {  System.out.println("The dog barks"); } } // Subclass: Cat class Cat extends Animal {@Override void sound() { System.out.println("The cat meows"); } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) {Animal animal = new Animal(); animal.sound(); // Outputs: The animal makes a sound Dog dog = new Dog(); dog.sound(); // Outputs: The dog barks Cat cat = new Cat(); cat.sound(); // Outputs: The cat meows // Polymorphism in action Animal polyAnimal = new Dog(); polyAnimal.sound(); // Outputs: The dog barkspolyAnimal = new Cat(); polyAnimal.sound(); // Outputs: The cat meows } 8. Discuss the use of the final keyword with inheritance. How can it be applied to methods and classes to restrict their behavior? ANS: Final Classes: - A class declared as final cannot be subclassed or inherited from. - No other class can extend a final class. - Final classes are useful when a class is designed to be self-contained and not intended for further extension. Final Methods: - A method declared as final cannot be overridden in a subclass. - Final methods ensure that their implementation remains unchanged in subclasses. - Final methods are useful when a method's implementation is critical to theclass's functionality and should not be modified. Restricting Behavior: - Using final classes and methods restricts the behavior of subclasses by preventing them from modifying or extending certain aspects of the superclass. - Final classes and methods promote code stability and predictability by ensuring that certain parts of the code remain unchanged. - Final classes and methods also help prevent unintended or incorrect modifications to critical parts of the code. CODE EXAMPLE: // final class cannot be subclassed final class FinalClass { // This method cannot be overridden void finalMethod() { System.out.println("This method cannot be overridden"); } } // Attempting to subclass a final class will result in a compiler error // class SubClass extends FinalClass {} //Non-final class can be subclassed class NonFinalClass { //This method cannot be overridden final void finalMethod() { System.out.println("This method cannot be overridden"); } } // Subclassing a non-final class class SubClass extends NonFinalClass { // Attempting to override a final method will result in a compiler error // void finalMethod() {} } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { FinalClass finalClass = new FinalClass(); finalClass.finalMethod(); // Outputs: This method cannot be overridden SubClass subClass = new SubClass(); subClass.finalMethod(); // Outputs: This method cannot be overridden } } 9: Explain the concept of dynamic method dispatch in inheritance. How doesit differfrom static binding? Answer. In Dynamic binding compiler doesn’t decide the method to be called. Overriding is a perfect example ofdynamic binding. In overriding both parent and child classes have samemethod. Dynamic method dispatch and static binding are ways that a program decides which pieceof code to runwhen a method (or function) is called. Dynamic Method Dispatch (Also known as Dynamic Binding or Late Binding) ->Imagine you have different types of animals (like a cat, a dog, and a bird), and theyall can make asound. ->Setup: You create a general type called "Animal" that has a method (a small piece ofcode) calledmakesound ->Specifics: Each specific animal (cat, dog, bird) has its own way of making a sound (meow,bark, chirp). ->Process: When you tell an animal to makesound, you might not know what type ofanimal it is untilthe program is actually running. ->Decision Time: The program figures out at that moment (while it's running) whichanimal's soundmethod to use. ->Example: If it's a cat, it will meow; if it's a dog, it will bark. Static Binding (Also known as Early Binding) ->Imagine you have a fixed type of animal, say always a dog. ->Setup: You have a method called makesound for a dog. -> Specifics: The method makesound will always bark because it is for a dog. ->Decision Time: The program knows before it even starts running that makesoundwill make a barksound. ->Example: There's no guessing; it's set in stone that the dog barks.  10: Describe a situation where you might choose to use a combination of inheritance and composition(has-a relationship) to model real-world entities.Provide an example with class structures. Answer. example of a transportation system where we have different types of vehicles and agarage thatstores these vehicles. Let’s consider an situation ,We want to model various types of vehicles (like cars and motorcycles) and how a garage manages these vehicles. We'll use inheritance to definedifferent types of vehiclesand composition to show that a garage has a collection of these vehicles. Inheritance (Is-a Relationship) We'll create a general class vahicle, and then specific types of vehicles like car andmotercylethat inherit from vehical. class Vehicle { private String brand;private String model; public Vehicle(String brand, Stringmodel) {this.brand = brand; this.model = model; } public String getDetails() { return brand + " " + model; } } class Car extends Vehicle { private int numberOfDoors;  public Car(String brand, String model, int numberOfDoors) {super(brand, model); this.numberOfDoors = numberOfDoors; } @Override public String getDetails() { return "Car: " + super.getDetails() + " with " + numberOfDoors + " doors"; } } class Motorcycle extends Vehicle {private boolean hasSidecar; public Motorcycle(String brand, String model, boolean hasSidecar) {super(brand, model); this.hasSidecar = hasSidecar; } @Override public String getDetails() { return "Motorcycle: " + super.getDetails() + (hasSidecar ? " with sidecar" : " withoutsidecar"); } } Composition (Has-a Relationship) We'll then create a Garage class that has a collection of Vehicle objects, showing that the garage"has" vehicles. import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List; class Garage { private List vehicles;public Garage() { this.vehicles = new ArrayList(); } public void addVehicle(Vehicle vehicle) {vehicles.add(vehicle); } public void showVehicles() { for (Vehicle vehicle : vehicles) { System.out.println(vehicle.getDetails()); } } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) {Garage garage = new Garage(); Car car = new Car("Toyota", "Corolla", 4); Motorcycle motorcycle = new Motorcycle("Harley-Davidson", "Street 750", false);garage.addVehicle(car); garage.addVehicle(motorcycle);  garage.showVehicles(); } }. 11) Discuss the limitations of single inheritance and how multipleinheritancecan be achieved in Java. Single Inheritance in Java: Single inheritance is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) where aclass can inherit features (fields and methods) from only one superclass. Here arethe limitations associated with single inheritance: a. Lack of Flexibility: i. A class can inherit from a single parent, which restricts flexibility in classdesigns. ii. Some code might not fit neatly into a single hierarchy due to this limitation. b. Code Reusability Challenges: i. Reusing code becomes challenging because some code may not fit well withinthe single inheritance hierarchy. Multiple Inheritance in Java: Although Java does not directly support multiple inheritance (where a class inherits frommore than one class), it provides an alternative using interfaces. Here’s how it works: 1. Interfaces: o An interface in Java defines a set of abstract methods that specify behavior. o Classes can implement multiple interfaces, allowing them to inherit featuresfrom several sources. o Interfaces serve as blueprints for behavior but cannot be instantiated likeclasses. 2. Syntax for Implementing Multiple Interfaces: o To achieve multiple inheritance through interfaces, use the following syntaxclass MyClass implements Interface1, Interface2, Interface3 { // class body } 12) Explain how dynamic method dispatch enables polymorphismin Java programs. Dynamic method dispatch, also known as runtime polymorphism, is a crucial mechanisminJava that enables polymorphism. Let’s explore how it works: a. Method Overriding: i. In Java, method overriding allows a subclass to provide a specific implementation for a method that is already defined in its superclass. ii. When a subclass overrides a method, it provides its own version of thatmethod with the same name and signature. b. Dynamic Method Dispatch: i. Dynamic method dispatch occurs when a call to an overridden method isresolved at runtime, rather than at compile time. ii. When an overridden method is called through a superclass reference, Java determines which version (superclass or subclass) of that method should beexecuted based on the actual type of the object being referredto. iii. In other words, the decision about which method to call is made duringprogram execution, not during compilation. c. Example: Consider the following code snippet: Program: class A { void m1() { System.out.println("Inside A's m1 method"); } } class B extends A {void m1() { System.out.println("Inside B's m1 method"); } } class C extends A {  void m1() { System.out.println("Inside C's m1 method"); } } public class Dispatch { public static void main(String[]args) {A a = new A(); B b = newB(); C c = new C(); A ref; ref = a; // Referring to an A object ref.m1(); // Calls A's version of m1()ref = b; // Referring to a B object ref.m1(); // Calls B's versionof m1()ref = c; // Referring to a C object ref.m1(); // Calls C's versionof m1() } } OUTPUT: Inside A's m1 method Inside B's m1 method Inside C's m1 method 13) Provide an example of when to use an abstract class instead ofan interface. Let’s explore when to use an abstract class instead of an interface in Java. a. Abstract Class: i. An abstract class is a class that cannot be instantiated directly. It servesas ablueprint for other classes to derive from. ii. Abstract classes can contain both abstract methods (methods without implementation) and concrete methods (methods with implementation). iii. They can have member variables, including final, non-final, static, andnon- static variables. iv. Abstract classes can also have constructors to initialize variables wheninstantiated by a subclass. b. Example: Consider the following example of an abstract class Shape: Program: abstract class Shape { String objectName; Shape(String name) { this.objectName = name; } public void moveTo(int x, int y) { System.out.println(this.objectName + " has been moved to x = " + x + " and y = " + y); } abstract public double area();abstract public voiddraw(); } class Rectangle extends Shape {int length, width; Rectangle(int length, int width, String name) {super(name);  this.length = length;this.width = width; } public void draw() { System.out.println("Rectangle has been drawn"); } public double area() { return (double) (length * width); } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Shape rect = new Rectangle(2, 3, "Rectangle"); System.out.println("Area of rectangle: " + rect.area());rect.moveTo(1, 2); } } c. When to Use Abstract Classes:  Use abstract classes when you want to provide a common base with both abstractand concrete methods.  Abstract classes are suitable when you need to share code among related classeswhile enforcing a common structure Ǫ14.) Define an abstract class in Java and explain its purpose.Ans. ### Abstract Class in Java An **abstract class** in Java isaclass that cannot beinstantiated on itsownandis intended to be a base class for other classes. It can include abstract methods, which aremethods without a body that must be implemented by subclasses, as well as concrete methods, which have full implementations. Abstract classes are declared using the `abstract` keyword. #### Declaration of an Abstract Class Here's an example of an abstract class: ```java public abstract class Animal { // Abstract method (does not have a body) public abstract void makeSound(); // Concrete method public void sleep() { System.out.println("Sleeping..."); } } ``` In this example: - The `Animal` class is declared as abstract. - It includes an abstract method `makeSound()` which must be implemented by any non- abstract subclass. - It also includes a concrete method `sleep()` which can be used directly by any subclass. ### Purpose and Use of Abstract Classes 1. **Base Class for Derived Classes**: - Abstract classes provide a common base that defines the essential properties andbehaviors (methods) that derived classes must implement. For example, in a class hierarchy of different animals, an `Animal` abstract class might define the general characteristics of animals. 2. **Partial Implementation**: - An abstract class can provide partial implementation for certain methods, leaving therest to be implemented by subclasses. This allows the abstract class to define some common behavior that can be reused by multiple subclasses, while still enforcing that subclassesprovidespecificdetails. 3. **Preventing Instantiation**: - Since abstract classes cannot be instantiated, they cannot be used to create objectsdirectly. This is useful when a class is too general to represent an object on its own but serves as a useful template for other classes. 4. **Defining a Template**: - Abstract classes can define a template method pattern where the abstract class provides askeleton for an operation, and subclasses fill in the specific steps. This ensuresa certain sequence of operations, while allowing subclasses to customize specific parts. 5. **Encapsulation of Shared Code**: - By placing shared code in an abstract class, you reduce duplication and centralize the management of shared features. For instance, common utility methods used across various subclasses canbe placed in an abstract class. ### Example of Usage ```java // Abstract class public abstract class Animal { publicabstract void makeSound(); public void sleep() { System.out.println("Sleeping..."); } } // Concrete subclass publicclass Dogextends Animal { @Override public void makeSound() { System.out.println("Woof"); } } // Concrete subclass public class Cat extends Animal { @Override public void makeSound() { System.out.println("Meow"); } } public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { Animal myDog = new Dog(); // Upcasting myDog.makeSound(); // Outputs: Woof myDog.sleep(); // Outputs: Sleeping... Animal myCat = new Cat(); // Upcasting myCat.makeSound(); // Outputs: Meow myCat.sleep(); // Outputs: Sleeping... } } ``` ### Key Points - **Abstract methods**: Methods declared without a body, to be implemented by subclasses. - **Concrete methods**: Methods with an implementation, providing common functionality. - **Instantiation**: Abstract classes cannot be instantiated directly. - **Use cases**: They are used whenyou want tocreate abase class withcommon properties and methods, while ensuring that specific details are handled by subclasses. Abstract classes provide a powerful way to define the structure and behavior of classes in aflexible and reusable manner, promoting good design practices in object-oriented programming. Ǫ 15. Consider a scenario where you have classes representing animals (base Class) and specific animal types like Dog and Cat(derived classes). Design These classes using inheritanceprinciples and illustrate how method Overriding can be used to define animal sounds. Ans. To design a class hierarchy representing animals, we can create abase class`Animal` and specificderivedclasses suchas `Dog` and `Cat`. In this structure, we will use inheritance to sharecommon characteristics and behaviors among different animal types. We will also demonstrate method overriding to alloweach animal type todefineitsspecific sound. ### Base Class: Animal The`Animal`class servesas the superclass,providingacommon interface for all animals. It includes a method `makeSound()` whichwill be overridden byeachspecific animal type toprovidetheir uniquesound. #### Animal.java ```java // Base class Publicclass Animal{ // Method to be overridden by subclassesPublicvoidmakeSound() { System.out.println(“Some generic animal sound”); } // Common method for all animalsPublic voidsleep() {  System.out.println(“Sleeping…”); } } ``` ### Derived Classes: Dog and Cat The `Dog` and `Cat` classes inherit from the `Animal` class. Theyoverride the `makeSound()` method to provide specific implementations for each animal’s sound. #### Dog.java ```java // Derivedclass PublicclassDogextends Animal{ // Overriding themakeSound() method@Override Public void makeSound() { System.out.println(“Woof”); } } ``` #### Cat.java ```java // Derivedclass Public class Cat extends Animal { // Overriding themakeSound() method@OverridePublic void makeSound() { System.out.println(“Meow”); } } ``` ### Demonstration of Inheritance and Method Overriding To demonstrate how these classes work together, we can create a main class that utilizes theseclasses and their overridden methods. #### Main.java ```java Public class Main { Publicstaticvoidmain(String[] args){ // Creating objects of Dog and Cat using Animal referencesAnimal myDog= new Dog(); Animal myCat = new Cat(); // Calling the overridden methods myDog.makeSound(); // Outputs: WoofmyDog.sleep(); // Outputs: Sleeping… myCat.makeSound(); // Outputs: MeowmyCat.sleep(); // Outputs: Sleeping… } } ``` ### Key Concepts Demonstrated 1. **Inheritance**: - The `Dog` and `Cat` classes inherit from the `Animal` class, meaning they acquire the properties and behaviors (methods) of the `Animal`class. Thisallows themtouse commonmethods like `sleep()` while also providing specific implementations formethodslike `makeSound()`. 2. **Method Overriding**: -The`makeSound()`method in the `Dog`and`Cat`classesoverrides the same method in the `Animal` class. This demonstrateshowsubclassescan providespecificbehaviorsformethods definedinasuperclass. 3. **Polymorphism**: - The `Animal` reference can point to any object of its subclasses(`Dog` or`Cat`). The actual method called(whether `makeSound()` of `Dog` or `Cat`) depends on the object type thereference is pointing to at runtime, not the reference type, showcasingpolymorphism. ### Benefits of This Design 1. **Code Reusability**: - Common methods like `sleep()` are defined once in the `Animal` classandreusedby all subclasses, reducing codeduplication. 2. **Extensibility**: - New animal types can easily be added by creating new subclasses of `Animal` and overriding the required methods. 3. **Clear Organization**: - Using inheritance and method overriding organizes code logically,grouping shared behavior in the base class and specific behavior in derivedclasses. This example illustrates the core principles of inheritance, method overriding, and polymorphismin Java, demonstrating how they worktogether tocreateaflexible andmaintainable code structure
