soru English cevap English
can you create an object of an abstract class?
öğrenmeye başla
can you create an object of an abstract  ingilizce
no
why do we have abstract classes?
öğrenmeye başla
An abstract class gives a way of grouping common members (data and methods) of its subclasses.
how do you declare an abstract class or method?
öğrenmeye başla
with the key word abstract
Why using an abstract class and not an ordinary superclass?
öğrenmeye başla
To force the subclasses to provide and implement certain methods.
what is a method signature?
öğrenmeye başla
the method name and the number, type and order of its parameters. Return types and thrown exceptions are not considered to be a part of the method signature.
what is polymorphism
öğrenmeye başla
Polymorphism is the capability of a method to do different things based on the object that it is acting upon. In other words, polymorphism allows you define one interface and have multiple implementations
what is overloading?
öğrenmeye başla
more than one method having the same name, if their argument lists are different.
what is overriding?
öğrenmeye başla
Declaring a method in sub class which is already present in parent class is known as method overriding. Overriding is done so that a child class can give its own implementation to a method which is already provided by the parent class.
what is the advantage of overriding?
öğrenmeye başla
The main advantage of method overriding is that the class can give its own specific implementation to a inherited method without even modifying the parent class code.
why is overriding an example of runtime time (or dynamic polymorphism)?
öğrenmeye başla
When a parent class reference points to the child class object then the call to the overridden method is determined at runtime, because during method call which method(parent class or child class) is to be executed is determined by the type of object.
what is dynamic method dispatch?
öğrenmeye başla
This process in which a call to the overridden method is resolved at runtime
what are the rules for overriding?
öğrenmeye başla
Type signatures must match and access modifyers of the overriding method(subclass method) cannot be more restrictive
what are the 3 ways to overload a method?
öğrenmeye başla
change Number of parameters, Data type of parameters, Sequence of Data type of parameters
why is Method overloading is an example of Static Polymorphism.
öğrenmeye başla
because it happens at compile time
what is type promotion?
öğrenmeye başla
When a data type of smaller size is promoted to the data type of bigger size than this is called type promotion, for example: byte data type can be promoted to short, a short data type can be promoted to int, long, double etc.
why is type promotion relevant to overloading?
öğrenmeye başla
it is very important to understand type promotion else you will think that the program will throw compilation error but in fact that program will run fine
what are bytes promotions?
öğrenmeye başla
short, int, long
what are shorts promotions?
öğrenmeye başla
int, long
what are ints promotions?
öğrenmeye başla
long, float, double
what are floats promotions?
öğrenmeye başla
double
what are longs promotions?
öğrenmeye başla
float, double.
