Question 5

Class is a blueprint of the objects.

Question 6

Question 7

Objects are also termed as class tags or entities.

Question 8

Different objects of a class have common behaviour.

Answer the following questions

Question 1

Define Object with an example.

• Bank Address

• IFSC Code

• MICR Code

Rest questions you can do like this only.

Question 3

What is an Object? Give five examples of real world objects.

Answer

An object is an entity having a specific identity, specific characteristics and specific behavior. Examples — car, bottle, mobile phone, computer, student.

Question 4

How will you define a software object?

Answer

A software object replaces the characteristics and behaviours of a real world object with data members and member methods, respectively.

Question 5

Class and Objects are inter-related. Explain.

Answer

A Class is used to create various Objects that have different characteristics and common behaviours. Each object follows all the features defined within a class. That is why class is also referred to as a blue print or prototype of an object. This way we can say that they are inter-related.

Question 6

A class is also referred as 'Object Factory'. Comment.

Answer

A class has the complete description of the data elements the object will contain, the methods the object can do, the way these data elements and methods can be accessed. A class can create objects of itself with different characteristics and common behaviour just like a factory can produce similar items based on a particular design. Hence, class is also referred to as 'Object Factory'.

Question 7

What does the following statement mean?

Employee staff = new Employee ( );

Answer

This statement creates a new object of class Employee. The newly created object is assigned to a variable named staff which is of Employee type. The object can be accessed using staff variable.

Question 8

Why is an Object called an 'Instance' of a class? Explain.

Answer

A class can create objects of itself with different characteristics and common behaviour. So, we can say that an Object represents a specific state of the class. For these reasons, an Object is called an Instance of a Class.

Question 9

Why is a class known as composite data type?

Answer

A class can contain data members of various primitive and reference data types. Hence, class is known as composite data type.

Question 10

Write a statement to create an object 'Keyboard' of the class 'Computer'.

Answer

Computer Keyboard = new Computer();

Question 11

Consider a real world object as 'Cricket Ball'. Now, mention two behaviours and methods each by taking the 'Cricket Ball' as a software Object.

Answer

Characteristics — Colour, Condition

Behaviours/Methods — throw(), stop()

Question 12

Refer a class structure as shown below:

class MySchool {

Name

Address

Principal's name

AcceptData();

PrintData();

}

With reference to the above class declaration, indicate whether the following statements are True/False:

1. Acceptdata( ) is the characteristic of the class.
   False

2. Address is behaviour of the class.
   False

3. Acceptdata( ) and PrintData( ) are the common behaviour of the objects of class 'MySchool'.
   True

4. Behaviours are the medium of inter-object communication.
   True

5. Creating multiple objects of class 'MySchool' is not possible.
   False

Question 14

Write a program by using a class 'Picnic' without any data members but having only functions as per the specifications given below:

class name : Picnic

void display1( ): To print venue, place and reporting time.

void display2( ): To print number of students, name of the teacher accompanying and bus number.

Write a main class to create an object of the class 'Picnic' and call the functions display1() and display2( ).

Answer

class Picnic

{

public void display1() {

System.out.println("Venue: Botanical Garden");

System.out.println("Place: MG Road");

System.out.println("Reporting Time: 9:00 AM");

}

public void display2() {

System.out.println("Number of Students: 50");

System.out.println("Name of teacher: Mr. Nagabhushan");

System.out.println("Bus Number: KA 01 1234");

}

public static void main(String args[]) {

Picnic obj = new Picnic();

obj.display1();

obj.display2();

}

}
