10.23 What is the purpose of an interface?

To specify behavior for other classes.

10.16 Look at the following class definition: public class ClassD extends ClassB { (Member Declarations . . .) } Because ClassD inherits from ClassB, is it true that ClassD does not inherit from the Object class? Why or why not?

ClassD still inherits from Object, because all classes ultimately inherit from Object.

private

When an object of the subclass is created, the private members of the superclass exist in memory, but only methods in the superclass can access them. They are truly _____ to the superclass.

You can use the _____ key word to call a superclass constructor.

super

The super key word refers to an object's ______.

superclass

When a class contains an abstract method, it cannot be instantiated. It must serve as a ____

superclass

Because every class directly or indirectly extends the Object class, every class inherits the Object class's members. Two of the most useful are the ___ _____ _____ methods.

void

An ________ method has no body and must be overridden in a subclass.

abstract

In its simplest form, an interface is like a class that contains only _______methods.

abstract

10.7 How can a subclass method call an overridden superclass method?

A subclass may call an overridden superclass method by prefixing its name with the super key word and a dot (.).

10.19 What is the purpose of an abstract method?

Abstract methods are used to ensure that a subclass implements the method.

10.22If a class is defined as abstract, what can you not do with the class?

An abstract class cannot be instantiated. It must serve as a superclass.

10.21What is the purpose of an abstract class?

An abstract class serves as a superclass for other classes. It represents the generic or abstract form of all the classes that inherit from it.

10.25 How is an interface different from an abstract class, or any class? .

An interface only specifies methods; it does not define them. In addition, all members of an interface are public.

10.10 How do you prevent a method from being overridden?

You declare the method with the final modifier.

10.26 If an interface has fields, how are they treated?

As final and static.

10.13Why should you avoid making class members protected when possible?

Because any other class that inherits from the class, or is in the same package, has unrestricted access to the protected member.

10.17 When you create a class, it automatically has a toString method and an equals method. Why?

Because those methods are members of the Object class.

10.24 How is an interface similar to an abstract class?

It cannot be instantiated.

10.9 If a method in a subclass has the same name as a method in the superclass, but uses a different parameter list, does the subclass method overload or override the superclass method?

It overloads the superclass method.

10.8 If a method in a subclass has the same signature as a method in the superclass, does the subclass method overload or override the superclass method?

It overrides the superclass method.

The Java API has a class named ________, which all other classes directly or indirectly inherit from.

Object

When a class does not use the extends key word to inherit from another class, Java automatically extends it from the ________ class.

Object

every class has a toString and an equals method, and now you know why! It is because those methods are inherited from the _____ class.

Object

10.20If a subclass extends a superclass with an abstract method, what must you do in the subclass?

Override the abstract method.

10.12What is the difference between private members and protected members?

Private members may be accessed only by methods in the same class. A protected member of a class may be directly accessed by methods of the same class or methods of a subclass. In addition, protected members may be accessed by methods of any class that are in the same package as the protected member's class.

10.14What is the difference between private access and package access?

Private members may be accessed only by methods in the same class. Any method in the same package as the class may directly access the class's members that have package access.

_______members of a class may be accessed by methods in a subclass, and by methods in the same package as the class.

Protected

10.11 When a class member is declared as protected, what code may access it?

Protected members of class may be accessed by methods in a subclass, and by methods in the same package as the class.

10.6 Under what circumstances would a subclass need to override a superclass method?

When the superclass method is inadequate for the subclass's purpose.

10.15 Why is it easy to give package access to a class member by accident?

When you accidentally leave out the access specifier, the member will have package access.

In the Object class, the _____ method accepts a reference to an object as its argument. It returns true if the argument references the calling object.

equals

superclass constructor always ____ before the subclass constructor

executes

The term ______ means the ability to take many forms.

polymorphism

When a subclass extends a superclass, the public members of the superclass become public _____ of the subclass.

members

If a superclass has either (a) a default constructor or (b) a no-arg constructor that was written into the class, then that constructor will be automatically called just _______a subclass constructor executes.

before

If a method in a subclass has the samesignature as a method in the superclass, the subclass method ______ the superclass method.

overrides

When a class contains an abstract method, you _______ create an instance of the class. Abstract methods are commonly used in abstract classes.

cannot

To use more than one parameter in a lambda expression, simply write a ___ - _____ list and enclose the list in parentheses

comma-separated

When a class implements an interface, it is agreeing to provide all of the methods that are specified by the interface. It is often said that an interface is like a "_______," and when a class implements an interface it must adhere to the contract.

contract

If the anonymous inner class extends a superclass, the super class's no-arg constructor is called when the object is ______.

created

Abstract methods are used to ensure that a subclass _________ the method.

implements

When you want a class to implement an interface, you use the _____ key word in the class header

implements

Private members of the superclass cannot be accessed by the subclass, so technically speaking, they are not ________.

inherited

Because fields automatically become final in an interface you must provide an ______ value.

initialization

In Java, a reference variable is _______ because it can reference objects of types different from its own, as long as those types are subclasses of its type.

polymorphic

In an inheritance relationship, the subclass inherits members from the superclass, not the other way around. This means it is _____ _______ for a superclass to call a subclass's method.

not possible

a class can extend only _____ superclass, but Java allows a class to implement multiple interfaces.

one

The super statement that calls the superclass constructor may be written ______ in the sub-class's constructor. You cannot call the superclass constructor from any other method.

only

You already know that _____ methods can appear within the same class.

An abstract method must be _______ in a subclass.

overridden

An anonymous inner class must _____ all of the abstract methods specified by the interface it is implementing, or the superclass it is extending.

override

When a class implements an interface, the class must _______the methods that are specified by the interface.

override

a method cannot _______ another method in the same class.

override

Because the subclass is more specialized than the superclass, it is sometimes necessary for the subclass to replace inadequate superclass methods with more suitable ones. This is known as method ______.

overriding

You do not have to specify the ____ ____ of a lambda expression's parameter because the compiler will determine it from the interface's abstract method header. However, you can explicitly declare the data type of a parameter, if you wish.

data type

Protected members may be accessed by methods in the same package or in a subclass. This is true even if the subclass is in a ____ ______.

different package

Although overloaded methods have the same name, they have ___ ________.

different signatures

Java performs ______ binding or late binding when a variable contains a polymorphic reference.

So, it is the ___ ____ that determines which method is called, not the vari-able's type.

dynamic, object's type

An _______ final variable is a variable whose value is never changed, but it isn't declared with the final key word.

effectively

When a method is declared with the ____ ____, it cannot be overridden in a subclass.
