Question 2

class A {
    void display() {
        System.out.println("Class A");
    }
}
class B extends A {

Question 5

What will be the output of this program?

Java

}
class Child extends Parent {
    void show() {
        System.out.println("Child class method");
    }
}
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Parent p = new Child();
        p.show();

Question 6

What happens if an abstract class does not have any abstract methods?

It will not compile.
The class can still be abstract.
Java will automatically provide an abstract method.
It becomes a concrete class.

Discuss it

Question 7

    }
}

Dog barks
Compilation error
Runtime error

Question 8

Which of the following statements about inheritance is false?

Discuss it

Question 9

Which of the following statements about abstract classes is correct?

Abstract classes cannot have constructors.
