Exam 10: Understanding Inheritance

____ data and functions can be accessed only within a class.

____ is based on the principle that knowledge of a general category can be applied to more specific objects.

When a child class function overrides a parent class function, you can say that you have ____________________ the function.

If you do not use an access specifier when you create a derived class, access is ____________________ by default.

The three access specifiers available for class members in C++ are: public , private and ____.

____________________ in C++ means you can create classes that derive their attributes from existing classes.

Any child class function with the same name as the parent, yet with an argument list that differs from the parent's, ____ the parent function.

Overriding a base class member function with a derived member function demonstrates the concept of ____.

____ data and functions can be accessed only by class functions, or by functions in child classes.

When you instantiate a class object that has been derived from another class, ____.

The ____ access specifier allows members to be used by class member functions and by derived classes, but not by other parts of a program.

Multiple inheritance is ____ required.

A(n) ____________________ class is also called the superclass, or ancestor.

No matter which access specifier you use when creating a child class, access to parent class members never becomes more lenient than originally coded.

A(n) ____ is a very specific instance of a class.

When a derived class object is destroyed, the ____________________ class destructor is called first.

The following code is an example of the correct use of the virtual keyword (assume Student is a subclass of Person ): ____.

Consider the following code fragments: class PetStoreItem { protected: int stockNum; double price; public: PetStoreItem(int, double); }; class PetStoreAnimal : public PetStoreItem { protected: int petAge; public: PetStoreAnimal(int); }; PetStoreAnimal::PetStoreAnimal(int age) { petAge = age; } Change the PetStoreAnimal constructor to avoid getting an error.
