Inheritance Review

1. Inheritance Review CSC 171 FALL 2004 LECTURE 19

2. READING • Read Horstmann, Chapter 11 • Look at Chapter 12 • Will not be on MT or Final • One lab • Begin Reading Chapter 13

3. Object: The Cosmic Superclass • All classes extend Object • Most useful methods: • String toString() • boolean equals(Object otherObject) • Object clone() // Clone copies objects

4. Abstract Classes • We saw with Interfaces, a way to define a signature for a method, without implementation – requiring later implementation • We can do this in the context of inheritance using sub/superclass hierarchies using abstract methods and classes

5. Abstract Methods public abstract class BankAccount { public abstract void deductFees(); } • Can’t be instantiated

6. ___________________ is a method for extending existing classes by adding methods and fields.

7. __Inheritance__________ is a method for extending existing classes by adding methods and fields.

8. The more general class is called a _____________________. The more specialized class that inherits from it is called the _____________________.

9. The more general class is called a ___SUPERCLASS___. The more specialized class that inherits from it is called the ____SUBCLASS__________.

10. Every class extends the _____________ class either directly or indirectly.

11. Every class extends the ___Object______ class either directly or indirectly.

12. Inheriting from a class differs from realizing an interface. The subclass inherits ________________ and ______________ from the superclass.

13. Inheriting from a class differs from realizing an interface. The subclass inherits _________behavior_______ and ___state___________ from the superclass.

14. One advantage of inheritance is _______________________.

15. One advantage of inheritance is ___code reuse___________.

16. When defining a subclass, you specify added ___________________, added _______________, and changed or ____________________ methods.

17. When defining a subclass, you specify added _instance fields________, added _methods___________, and changed or _overridden________ methods.

18. Sets of classes can form complex inheritance ________________________.

19. Sets of classes can form complex inheritance _____hierarchies______.

20. A subclass has __________ access to private fields fo its superclass.

21. A subclass has _____NO___ access to private fields of its superclass.

22. Use the ____________________ keyword to call a method of the superclass.

23. Use the _______super_______ keyword to call a method of the superclass.

24. To call the superclass constructor, you use the _____________ keyword in the ____________ statement of the subclass constructor.

25. To call the superclass constructor, you use the __super______ keyword in the __first______ statement of the subclass constructor.

26. A _________________ reference can be cast/converted to a ____________ reference, but not the other way around.

27. A ______subclass_____ reference can be cast/converted to a ___superclass____ reference, but not the other way around.

28. An _______________ method is one whose implementation is not specified.

29. An __abstract____ method is one whose implementation is not specified.

30. An ___________________ class cannot be instantiated.

31. An _____abstract________ class cannot be instantiated.

32. A field or method that is not declared as public, private, or protected can be accessed by all classes in the same ___________, which is usually not desirable.

33. A field or method that is not declared as public, private, or protected can be accessed by all classes in the same ____package_______, which is usually not desirable.

34. A field or method that is not declared as public, private, or protected can be accessed by all classes in the same ______________.

35. A field or method that is not declared as public, private, or protected can be accessed by all classes in the same _package____.

36. ____________________ features can be accessed by all subclasses and all classes in the same package.

37. _Protected_______ features can be accessed by all subclasses and all classes in the same package.

38. You should define the __________________ method to yield a string that describes the object state.

39. You should define the _toString________ method to yield a string that describes the object state.

40. You should define the ____________________ method to test whether two objects have equal state.

41. You should define the _____equals______ method to test whether two objects have equal state.

42. The ____________________________- method makes a new object with the same state as an existing object.

43. The ______clone______________- method makes a new object with the same state as an existing object.

46. CHAPTER 12 – MORE GUI • Applications

47. FRAME BASED APPLICATION public static void main(String[] args)   {       JFrame appFrame = new JFrame();       appFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       appFrame.setContentPane(rectPanel);       appFrame.pack();       appFrame.show();    }

48. Layout Management • Container arranges its components • By default, JPanel places components from left to right, then starts a new row if needed • Panel layout carried out by FlowLayout layout manager • Can set other layout managerspanel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

49. Border Layout • Border layout places components into positions (center, north, west, south, east) panel.add(textField, BorderLayout.SOUTH);

50. Border Layout • Content pane of frame has border layout by defaultframe.getContentPane().add(textField, BorderLayout.SOUTH); • Border layout grows components to fit area • To avoid growth, place component into panel (with flow layout), then add panel to content pane
