Answer

A class has two methods with the same name and the same parameters but different access modifiers.

Answer

A class has two methods with the same name and the same parameters but different return types.

Question 20

What is the purpose of the @Override annotation in Java?

Accepted Answer

To indicate that a method in a child class overrides a method in the parent class.

Answer

To indicate that a method is static and can be called without creating an object of the class.

Answer

To indicate that a method is abstract and must be implemented in a child class.

Question 21

Accepted Answer

When objects of different classes respond to the same method call in the exact same way.

Answer

When objects of different classes respond to the same method call in different ways.

Answer

When objects of the same class respond to the same method call in different ways.

Question 22

Which of the following is an example of dynamic binding?

Accepted Answer

When the method to be executed is determined at runtime based on the actual object's type.

Answer

When the method to be executed is determined at compile-time based on the declared object type.

Answer

When the method to be executed is determined at runtime based on the object's reference type.

Question 29

Consider a scenario where a 'Shape' class has a 'draw()' method. A 'Circle' and 'Square' class inherit from 'Shape'. How does polymorphism allow them to draw differently?

Accepted Answer

The 'draw()' method is overridden in 'Circle' and 'Square' to implement unique drawing behaviors.

Answer

The 'Shape' class automatically adapts to the specific shapes when 'draw()' is called.

Answer

The 'draw()' method is duplicated in 'Circle' and 'Square' with different names.
