B An implicit call to the one-parameter Bike constructor with the parameter passed to the EBike constructor initializes the instance variable numWheels. The instance variable numBatteries is initialized using the value of the parameter batteries. C Because super is not explicitly called from the EBike constructor, the instance variable numWheels is not initialized. The instance variable numBatteries is initialized using the value of the parameter batteries. D The code segment will not execute because the Bike class is a superclass and must have a constructor. E The code segment will not execute because the constructor of the EBike class is missing a second parameter to use to initialize the numWheels instance variable.

Book b = new TextBook("Psychology"); Which of the following best describes the effect of executing the code segment? A The TextBook constructor initializes the instance variable subject with the value of the parameter theSubject, and then invokes the zero-parameter Book constructor, which initializes the instance variable bookTitle to "". B The TextBook constructor initializes the instance variable subject with the value of the parameter theSubject, and then invokes the one-parameter Book constructor with theSubject as the parameter, which initializes the instance variable bookTitle to the value of the parameter theSubject. C There is an implicit call to the zero-parameter Book constructor. The instance variable bookTitle is then initialized to "". Then, the instance variable subject is initialized with the value of the parameter theSubject. D The code segment will not execute because the TextBook constructor does not contain an explicit call to one of the Book constructors. E The code segment will not execute because the TextBook constructor does not have a parameter for the title of the book.

Assume that x and y are properly declared and initialized int variables. Beverage hotChocolate = new Beverage(x); Beverage coffee = new Beverage(y); boolean same = /* missing code */; Which of the following can be used as a replacement for /* missing code */ so that the boolean variable same is set to true if and only if the hotChocolate and coffee objects have the same temperature values?

C1 obj1 = new C2(); obj1.m1(); obj1.m2(); The code segment is intended to produce the output AB. Which of the following best explains why the code segment does not produce the intended output? A A compile-time error occurs because obj1 is declared as type C1 but instantiated as type C2. B A runtime error occurs because method m1 does not appear in C2. C Method m1 is not executed because it does not appear in C2. D Method m2 is executed from the subclass instead of the superclass because obj1 is instantiated as a C2 object. E Method m2 is executed twice (once in the subclass and once in the superclass) because it appears in both classes.
D Method m2 is executed from the subclass instead of the superclass because obj1 is instantiated as a C2 object.
Consider the following class definitions. public class Bird { private int beakStrength; public Bird(int input) { beakStrength = input; } public void setBeakStrength(int strength) { beakStrength = strength; } } public class Hawk extends Bird { private int talonStrength; public Hawk(int talon, int beak) { super(beak); talonStrength = talon; } } The following statement appears in a method in another class. Bird b = new Hawk(5, 8); Which of the following best describes the effect of executing the statement? A The Bird variable b is instantiated as a Hawk. The instance variable talonStrength is initialized with the value from the parameter talon. The Hawk constructor cannot set the instance variable beakStrength because a subclass does not have access to a private variable in its superclass. B The Bird variable b is instantiated as a Hawk. The call super(beak) returns a value from the instance variable beakStrength in the superclass and makes it accessible in the subclass. The instance variable talonStrength is then initialized with the value from the parameter talon. C The Bird variable b is instantiated as a Hawk. The instance variable talonStrength is initialized with the value from the parameter talon. No other initializations are made to any instance variables. D The Bird variable b is instantiated as a Hawk. The call super(beak) invokes the Bird constructor and initializes the instance variable beakStrength with the value from the parameter beak. The instance variable talonStrength is then initialized with the value from the parameter talon. E The code segment will not execute because the Bird variable b cannot be instantiated as a Hawk.
D The Bird variable b is instantiated as a Hawk. The call super(beak) invokes the Bird constructor and initializes the instance variable beakStrength with the value from the parameter beak. The instance variable talonStrength is then initialized with the value from the parameter talon.

Bike b = new EBike(250); System.out.println(b.getNumOfWatts()); System.out.println(b.getNumOfWheels()); Which of the following best explains why the code segment does not compile? A The Bike superclass does not have a constructor. B There are too many arguments to the EBike constructor call in the code segment. C The first line of the subclass constructor is not a call to the superclass constructor. D The getNumOfWatts method is not found in the Bike class. E The getNumOfWheels method is not found in the EBike class.
D The getNumOfWatts method is not found in the Bike class.

A author = the_author; title = the_title; subject = the_subject; B super(the_author, the_title); super(the_subject); C subject = the_subject; super(the_author, the_title); D super(the_author, the_title); subject = the_subject; E super(the_author, the_title, the_subject);

The Starry Night (1889) by Van Gogh Which of the following can be used to replace /* missing implementation */ in the printInfo method in the Artwork class so that the code segment produces the intended output? A System.out.print(title + " (" + year + ") by " + artist); B super.printInfo(artist); C System.out.print(super.printInfo() + " by " + artist); D super(); System.out.print(" by " + artist); E super.printInfo(); System.out.print(" by " + artist);
E super.printInfo(); System.out.print(" by " + artist);
