Unit III

1.Create an abstract class with no methods. Derive a class and add a

method. Create a static method that takes a reference to the base
class, downcasts it to the derived class, and calls the method. In
main( ), demonstrate that it works. Now put the abstract declaration
for the method in the base class, thus eliminating the need for the
downcast.

Rodents, and override these in the derived classes to perform
different behaviors depending on the specific type of Rodent. Create
an array of Rodent, fill it with different specific types of Rodents, and
call your base-class methods. Explain the output.

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

Unit IV

1.Write a program to create a private inner class that implements a

public inter- face.Write a method that returns a reference to an
instance of the private inner class, upcast to the interface. Show that
the inner class is completely hidden by trying to downcast to it.
[April 07 Set 1]

2.Prove that all the methods in an interface are automatically public.

[April 07 Set 2]

3.Write a program create an interface U with three methods. Create a

class A with a method that produces a reference to a U by building an
anonymous inner class. Create a second class B that contains an
array of U. B should have one method that accepts and stores a
reference to a U in the array, a second method that sets a reference in
the array (specified by the method argument) to null and a third
method that moves through the array and calls the methods in U. In
main( ), create a group of A objects and a single B. Fill the B with U
references produced by the A objects. Use the B to call back into all
the A objects. Remove some of the U references from the B.
[April 07 Set 3], [Sept 07 Set 2]

4.Create an interface with at least one method, in its own package.

Create a class in a separate package. Add a protected inner class that
implements the interface. In a third package, inherit from your class
and, inside a method, return an object of the protected inner class,
upcasting to the interface during the return.
[April 07 Set 4]

5.Write a program to create a class with a non default constructor and

no default constructor. Create a second class that has a method
which returns a reference to the first class. Create the object to return
by making an anonymous inner class that inherits from the first
class.
