Indicate whether the statement is true or false in the spaces (~ provided before the questions.

I. Application classes frequently instantiate objects that use the objects of other classes.

2. You can identifY a class that is an application because it contains a public static void main ()
method.

3. You can write your own constructor methods; but when you don't write a constructor method for a class
object, Java writes one for you.

4. A method's identifier must be more than one word, must have no embedded spaces, and cannot be a Java
keyword.

5. Parentheses in a method declaration contain parameters that are funneled into the method.

6. When a value is returned from a method, you are required to use the value when the method is called.

7. When you overload a Java method, you write multiple methods with a shared name.

8. When you write your own constructors, you cannot write versions that receive parameters.

9. An alternative to importing a class is to import an entire package of classes.

10. If you give the same name to a class's instance field and to a local method variable, the instance variable
overrides the method's local variable.

II. When you use the method name with a child object, the parent's version of the method is used.

12. If a superclass contains only constructors that require arguments, you do not need to create a subclass
constructor.

13. A static method cannot be overridden in a subclass.

14. In a UML diagram, minus signs are inserted in front of each private field or method, and plus signs are
inserted in front of each public field or method.

15. Superclasses can be distinguished from their subclasses because a subclass is generally smaller than a
superclass; it usually has fewer fields and methods.

16. It is useful to override the parent class members when the superclass data fields and methods are not
completely appropriate for the subclass objects.

17. When a protected data field or method is created, it can be used within its own class or in any classes
extended from that class; but it cannot be used by outside classes.

18. An error is generated by the compiler when you attempt to override a static method with a nonstatic
method.

19. When you create a subclass of an abstract class, it's important to understand that you are required to code
a subclass method to override the empty superclass method that is inherited.

20. When you create a class that uses an interface, you include the keyword extends.

21. Abstract classes and interfaces are similar in that you cannot instantiate concrete objects from either one.

22. While a class can inherit from any abstract superclass, it can only implement one interface.

23. Java does not allow a class to inherit directly from two or more parents.
