Questions and Exercises: Managing Inheritance

Questions

1. Consider the following two classes:
public class ClassA {
    public void methodOne(int i) {
    }
    public void methodTwo(int i) {
    }
    public static void methodThree(int i) {
    }
    public static void methodFour(int i) {
    }
}

public class ClassB extends ClassA {
    public static void methodOne(int i) {
    }
    public void methodTwo(int i) {
    }
    public void methodThree(int i) {
    }
    public static void methodFour(int i) {
    }
}
a. Which method overrides a method in the superclass?
b. Which method hides a method in the superclass?
c. What do the other methods do?

2. Consider the Card(in a .java source file), Deck(in a .java source file), and DisplayDeck(in a .java source file) classes you wrote in the previous exercise. What Object methods should each of these classes override?
