Flashcard 1

Q: What is inheritance in Java?


A: Inheritance is the process by which a child (subclass) automatically includes public or protected
primitives, objects, or methods defined in the parent class, allowing for code reuse and method
overriding.

Flashcard 2

Q: How do you declare inheritance in Java?


A: Use the extends keyword to inherit properties of a class.

java

Copy code

class Dog extends Animal {

// Dog inherits properties of Animal

Flashcard 3

Q: What is method overriding?


A: When a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method already defined in its superclass.

java

Copy code

@Override

public void sound() {

System.out.println("Bark");

Flashcard 4

Q: What is the purpose of the super keyword?


A: The super keyword differentiates superclass members from subclass members if they have the
same names, and invokes the superclass constructor from the subclass.

Flashcard 5

Q: Provide an example of using the super keyword.

java
Copy code

class Dog extends Animal {

Dog() {

super(); // calls Animal's constructor

Flashcard 6

Q: What are the types of inheritance in Java?


A: - Single Inheritance

• Multilevel Inheritance

• Hierarchical Inheritance
Java does not support multiple inheritance.

Flashcard 7

Q: How does encapsulation work in Java?


A: Encapsulation involves wrapping code and data into a single unit, making class variables private
and accessing them via public getter and setter methods.

Flashcard 8

Q: Example of encapsulation in Java.

java

Copy code

public class BankAccount {

private double balance;

public double getBalance() {

return balance;

public void deposit(double amount) {

if (amount > 0) balance += amount;


}

Flashcard 9

Q: Why use getter and setter methods?


A: They protect data by controlling how variables are accessed and modified, allowing internal
implementation changes without affecting external code.

Flashcard 10

Q: Define the BankAccount withdraw method with validation checks.

java

Copy code

public void withdraw(double amount) {

if (amount > 0 && amount <= balance) {

balance -= amount;

} else {

System.out.println("Insufficient funds or invalid amount.");
