TN State Board 11th Computer Science Important Questions Chapter 16 Inheritance

Question 1.
What is derived class?
Answer:
A class that inherits from a superclass is called a subclass or derived class

Question 2.
Write the advantages of inheritance.
Answer:
The main advantages of inheritance are:

1. It represents real world relationships well
2. It provides reusability of code (Hi) It supports transitivity

Question 3.
What are the different types of inheritance?
Answer:
The different types of inheritance are Single Inheritance, Multiple inheritance, Multilevel inheritance, hybrid inheritance and Hierarchical inheritance.

Question 4.
What is Hybrid inheritance?
Answer:
When there is a combination of more than one type of inheritance, it is known as hybrid inheritance. Hence, it may be a combination of Multilevel and Multiple inheritance or Hierarchical and Multilevel inheritance or Hierarchical, Multilevel and Multiple inheritance.

Question 5.
What is the use of ‘this’ pointer?
Answer:
‘this’ pointer is a constant pointer that holds the memory address of the current object. It identifies the currently calling object. It is useful when the argument variable name in the member function and the data member name are same. To identify the data member it will be given as this→data member name.

Question 6.
Give the use of scope resolution operator in derived class with example.
Answer:
In inheritance the member function of the base class and derived classes have the same name. If the derived class object calls
t1.1oo( );
t2.1oo( );
}
Output:
5 5
5 5

Question 7.
Give the example for executing the order of constructors and destructors.
Answer:
When an object of the derived class is created, the compiler first calls the base class constructor and then the constructor of the derived class. This is because the derived class is built up on the members of the base class. When the object of a derived class expires first the derived class destructor is invoked followed by the base class destructor.
The order of constructors and destructors.
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class base
{
public:
base ( )
{
cout<<“:\nConstructor of base class . . .”;
}
~ base ( )
{
cout<<“\nDestructor of base class . . .”;
}
};
class derived:public base
{
public :
derived( )
{
cout<<“\nConstructor of derived . . .”;
}
~ derived( )
{
cout<<“\nDestructor of derived . . .”;
}
};
class derived1 :public derived
{
public :
derived1( )
{
cout<<“\nConstructor of derived1 . . .”;
}
~ derived1( )
{
cout<<“\nDestructor of derived1 . . .”;
}
};
int main( )
{
derived1 x;
return 0;
}
Output:
Constructor of base class…
Constructor of derived …
Constructor of derived1 …
Destructor of derived1 …
Destructor of derived …
Destructor of base class….

Question 8.
What is single inheritance? Give example.
Answer:
When derived class inherits only from one base class, it is known as single inheritance. Though the derived class inherits all the members of base class, it has access privillege only to non-private members of the base class.

Program to illustrate single inheritance:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class student //base class
{
private :
char name[20];
int rno;
public:
void acceptname( )
{
cout<<“\n Enter roll no and name . . .”;
cin>>rno>>name;
}
void displayname( )
{
cout«”\n Roll no :-“<<rno;
cout<<“\n Name : -“<<name<<endl;
}
};
class exam : public student
//derived class with single base class
{
public:
int mark1, mark2, mark3, mark4, mark5, mark6, total;
void acceptmark( )
{
cout<<“\n Enter lang, eng, phy, che, esc, mat marks . .”;
cin>>markl>>mark2>>mark3>>mark4> >mark5>>mark6 ;
}
void displaymark( )
{
cout<<“\n\t\t Marks Obtained”;
cout<<“\n Language..”<<mark1;
cout<<“\n English..”<<mark2;
cout<<“\n Physics..”<<mark3;
cout<<“\n Chemistry. ,”<<mark4;
cout<<“\n Comp . sci . . “<<mark5;
cout<<“{\n Maths..”<<mark6;
}
};
int main( )
{
exam e1;
e1.acceptname( ); //calling base class function using derived class object el.acceptmark( ) ;
e1.displayname( ); //calling base class function using derived class object el.displaymark( ) ;
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter roll no and name.. 1201 KANNAN
Enter lang, eng, phy, che, esc, mat marks.. 100 100 100 100 100 100
Roll no:- 1201
Name:- KANNAN

Question 9.
What is Multiple Inheritance? Give example.
Answer:
When a derived class inherits from multiple base classes it is known as multiple inheritance.
Program to illustrate Multiple inheritance:
The order of inheritance by derived class to inherit the base class is left to right

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class student //base class
{
private:
char name[20];
int rno;
public:
void acceptname( )
{
cout<<“\n Enter roll no and name . .”;
cin>>rno>>name;
}
void displayname( )
{
cout<<“\n Roll no :-“<<rno;
cout<<“\n Name :-“<<name<<endl;
;
}
};
class detail //Base class
{
int dd, mm, yy;
char cl [4];
public:
void acceptdob( )
{
cout<<“\n Enter date,month,year in digits and class . .”;
cin>>dd>>mm>>yy>>cl;
}
void displaydob( )
{
cout<<“\n class :-“<<cl;
cout<<“\t\t DOB: “<<dd<<“-” <<mm<<“-“<<yy<<endl;
}
};
class exam : public student, public detail
//derived class with multiple base class
{
public:
int mark1, mark2, mark3, mark4, mark5, mark6, total;
void acceptmark( )
{
cout<<“\n Enter lang, eng, phy, che, esc, mat marks..”;
cin>>mark1>>mark2>>mark3>>mark4>>mark5>>mark6;
}
void displaymark( )
{
cout<<“\n\t\t Marks Obtained”;
cout<<“\n Language..”<<mark1;
cout<<“\n English .. “<<mark2 ;
cout<<“\n Physics . . “<<mark3;
cout<<“\n Chemistry..”<<mark4;
cout<<“\n Comp.sci..”<<mark5;
cout<<“\n Maths..”<<mark6;
}
};
int main( )
{
exam e1;
e1.acceptname( ); //calling base class function using derived class object
e1.acceptdob( ); //calling base
class function using derived class object el.acceptmark( );
e1.displayname( ); //calling base class function using derived class object
e1.displaydob( ); //calling base class function using derived class object
e1.displaymark( );
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter roll no and name .. 1201 MEENA

Question 10.
Differentiate Inheritance and polymorphism.
Answer:

Inheritance	Polymorphism
Inheritance is creating a class that derives its feature from an already existing class.	Polymorphism is an interface that can be defined in multiple forms.
It is implemented on the classes.	It is implemented on methods/functions.
As inheritance allows a derived class to use the elements and methods defined in the base class, the derived class does not need to define those elements or method it again, So it increases the code reusability and hence, reduce the length of the code.	Polymorphism makes it possible for an object to decide what form of the method it wants to invoke at both compile time and run time.
It can be classified as single inheritance, multiple inheritance, multi level inheritance, hierarchical inheritance and hybrid inheritance.	It is classified as overloading and overriding.

Question 11.
Consider the following C++ code and answer the question from (i) to (iv).
Answer:
class shop
{
int Id;
char Name[20]
protected:
float Qty;
public:
shop( );
void Enter_details( );
void View_details();
};
class salesman
{
int Dcode;
protected:
char Manager[20]
public:
sale( );
salesman( );
void Enter_details( );
void View_details( );
};
class sale : public shop, private salesman
{ .
char Name[20], Location[20];
public:
sale( );
void Enter_All( );
void View_All( );
};
(i) Which type of inheritance out of the following is illustrated in the above example?
(ii) Write the names of all the data members, which are directly accessible from the member functions class sale().
(iii) Write the names of all the member functions, which are directly accessible by an object of class sale.
(iv) Which will be the order of execution of the constructors, when an object ©f class sale is declared?
Answer:
(i) Multiple Inheritance
(ii) Name, Location, Manager, Qty
(iii) Enter_MI( ),View_MI( ),Enter_Dttails( ), View_Details( )
(iv) shop( ), salesman( ), sale( ).

Question 12.
Explain the significance of different visibility mode for the program given below.
//Implementation of Single Inheritance using public visibility mode
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Shape
{
private:
int count;
protected:
int width;
int height;
public:
void setWidth(int w)
{
width = w;
}
void setHeight(int h)
{
height = h;
} };
class Rectangle: publicShape
{
public:
int getArea( )
{
return (width * height);
}
};
int main( )
{
Rectangle Rect;
Rect.setWidth(5);
Rect.setHeight(7);
// Print the area of theobject.
cout<< “Total area:”<<Rect.getArea( )<<endl;
return 0;
}
Output:
Total area: 35
The following table contains the members defined inside each class before inheritance.

The following table contains the details of members defined after inheritance.

Suppose the class rectangle is derived with protected visibility then the properties of class rectangle will change as follows:

In case the class rectangle is derived with private visibility mode from its base class shape then the property of class rectangle will change as follows:

Question 13.

In the above program the derived class “result” has acquired the properties of class “detail” and class “exam” which is derived from “student”. So this inheritance is a combination of multi level and multiple inheritance and so it is called hybrid inheritance.

Question 14.
Explain the concept of hierarchical inheritance.
Answer:
Program to illustrate Hierarchical inheritance:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class student //base class
{
private:
char name[20];
int rno;
public:
void acceptname( )
{
cout<<“\n Enter roll no and name . . .”;
cin>>rno>>name;
}
void displayname( )
{
cout<<“\n Roll no:-“<<rno;
cout<<“\n Name: -“<<name<<endl;
} .
};
class qexam : public student //derived class with single base class

In the above program, the class “qexam” and “hexam” are derived from class “student”. Here for single base class more than one derived class. So this comes under hierarchical inheritance.

Question 15.
Explain the concept of multilevel inheritance. Illustrate with an example.
Answer:
In multilevel inheritance, the level of inheritance can be extended to any number of level depending upon the relation. Multilevel inheritance is similar to relation between Grand Father, Father and child.
Program to illustrate multilevel inheritance:

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class student //base class
{
private: char name[20]; int rno; public:
void acceptname( )
cout<<“\n Enter roll no and name..”;
cin>>rno>>name;
}
void displayname( )
{
Multilevel Inheritance
cout<<“\n Roll no:-“<<rno;
cout<<“\n Name :-“<<name<<endl;
}
};
class exam : public student //derived class with single base class
{
public:
int mark1, mark2, mark3, mark4, mark5, mark6;
void acceptmark( )
{
cout<<“\nEnter lang,eng,phy,che,esc,mat marks..”;

cout<<“\nTOTAL MARK SCORED :” «total;
}
};
int main( )
{
result r1;
rl.acceptname( ); //calling base class function using derived class object
rl.acceptmark( ); //calling base class function which itself is a derived
// class function using its derived class object
rl.displayname( ); //calling base class function using derived class object
rl.displaymark( ); //calling base class function which itself is a ‘ derived
//class function using its derived class object rl.showresult(); //calling the child class function return 0;
}

In the above program, class “result” is derived from class “exam” which itself is derived from class student.

Question 16.
All the banks operating in India are controlled by RBI. RBI has set certain guidelines (e.g. minimum interest rate, minimum balance allowed, maximum withdrawal limit etc.,) for all banks to follow. For example, suppose RBI has set minimum interest rate applicable to a saving bank account to be 5% annually; however, banks are free to use 5% interest rate or to set any rates above it.

Write a program to implement bank functionality in the above scenario. Note: Create few classes namely Customer, Account, RBI (Base Class) and few derived classes (SBI, ICICI, PNB, IOB etc.,). Assume and implement required member variables and functions in each class.
Hint:
class Customer
{
//Personal Details…
// Few functions…
}
class Account
{
// Account Detail…
//Few functions…
}
}
class RBI
{
Customer c;//hasA relationship
Account a; //hasA relationship
Public double GetlnterestRate( ) { }
Public double GetWithdrawalLimit( ) { }
}
class SBI: public RBI
{
//Use RBI functionality or define own functionality.
}
class ICICI: public RBI
{
//Use RBI functionality or define own functionality.
}
class IOB: public RBI
{
//Use RBI functionality or define own functionality.
}
Answer:

Question 17.
Write a class for a class Stock.
(i) – Each Stock has a data member which holds the net price, and a constructor which sets this price.
– Each Stock has a method get_Price(), which calculates and returns the gross price (the gross price includes VAT at 21%).
Answer:
class Stock
{
private:
float netprice;
public:
Stock (float P)
{
netprice=P;
}
void get_price( )
{
float grossprice, tax;
tax=netprice*21/100;
grossprice=netprice+tax;
cout<<“\n Net Price”<<netprice<<endl;
cout<<“\nTax Amount: “<<tax<<endl;
cout<<“Gross Price: “<<grossprice;
}
};

(ii) Write 2 classes which inherit from the general Stock class, of type Notebook and Book.
– The gross price for Notebook includes tax at 21%.
– Books are free of tax, so the gross price is unchanged from the net price, and you will need to re-define the getGrossPrice method in this class.
Answer:
class Stock
{
public:
float netprice;
Stock (float P)
{
netprice=P;
}
};
class Book : public Stock
{
void get_price()
{
float grossprice,tax; tax=netprice*21/100;
grossprice=netprice+tax;
cout<<“\n Net Price”<<netpr ice<<endl;
cout<<“\nTax Amount: “<<tax<<endl;
cout<<-“Gross Price: “<<grossprice;
}
};
class notebook : public Stock
{
void get_price( )
{
float grossprice;
grossprice=netprice;
cout<<“Gross Price:”<<grossprice;
}

(iii) Write a program which does the following;
(a) Declare an array of 10 objects to Stock.
(b) Declare a object to a Book and an object to Notebook.
(c) Ask the user to enter details of the book, and of the Notebook item.
(d) Check your method getGrossPrice works correctly with each type and then display the result.
Answer:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class stock
{
int Bookcode;
float qty;
float price;
void totalcost( )
{
float tcost;
tcost=price*qty;
cout<<tcost;
}
public:
void bookdetails( )
{
cout<<“Enter the Quantity”<<endl;
cin>>qty;
cout<<“Enter Price”<<endl; .
cin>>price; display( );
}
void display( )
{
cout<<“\nTotal Cost is”<<endl;
totalcost ( );
}
}s[10] ;
int main( )
{
Stock bo,no;
cout<<“\nBook Details”<<endl;
bo.bookdetails( );
cout<<“\nNote book Details”<<endl;
no.bookdetails( );
return 0;
}

Question 18.
What is inheritance?
Answer:
Inheritance is an important feature of object oriented programming used for code reusability. It is a process of creating new classes called derived cljisses, from the existing or base classes. Inheritance allows to inherit all the code (except declared as private) of one class to another class.

Question 19.
What is a base class?
Answer:
A class that is used as the basis for inheritance is called a super class or base class.

Question 20.
Why derived class is called power packed class?
Answer:
The derived class is a power packed class, as it can add additional attributes and methods and thus enhance its functionality.

Question 21.
In what, multilevel and multiple inheritance differ though both contains many base class?
Answer:

Multilevel inheritance	Multiple inheritance
The level of inheritance can be extended to any number of level depending upon the relation. Multilevel inheritance is similar to relation between Grand Father, Father and child.	The base classes do not have any relationship between them. However the derived class acquires all the properties of both the class.

Question 22.
What is the difference between public and private visibility mode?
Answer:
When a base class is inherited with public visibility mode, the protected members of the base class will be inherited as protected members of the derived class and the public members of the base class will be inherited as public members of the derived class.
When a base class is inherited with private visibility mode the public and protected members of the base class become ‘private’ members of the derived class.

Question 23.
What are the points to be noted while deriving a new class?
Answer:
(i) The keyword class has to be used.
(ii) The name of the derived class is to be given after the keyword class.
(iii) A single colon
(iv) The type of derivation (the visibility mode), namely private* public or protected. If no visibility mode is specified, then by default the visibility mode is considered as private.
(v) The names of all base classes (parent classes) separated by comma.
class derived_class_
name:visibility_mode base_ class_name
{
// members of derivedclass
};

Question 24.
What is difference between the members present in the private visibility mode and the members present in the public visibility mode?
Answer:
When a base class is inherited with public visibility mode, the protected members of the base class will be inherited as protected members of the derived class and the public members of the base class will be inherited as public members of the derived class.
When a base class is inherited with private visibility mode the public and protected members of the base class become ‘private’ members of the derived class.

Question 25.
What is the difference between polymorphism and inheritance though are used for reusability of code?
Answer:
Polymorphism:
Allows object to decide which Inheritance: Allows a derived class to use the elements and methods defined in the base class. The derived class does not need to define those elements or methods in it again. So it increases the code reusability and hence reduces the length of the code.

Inheritance:
Allows a derived class to use the elements and methods defined in the base class. The derived class does not need to define those elements or methods in it again. So it increases the code reusability and hence reduces the length of the code.

Question 26.
What do you mean by overriding?
Answer:
When a derived class member function has the same name as that of its base class member function, the derived class member function shadows/hides the base class’s inherited function. This situation is called function overriding and this can be resolved by giving the base class name followed by :: and the member function name.

Question 27.
Write some facts about the execution of constructors and destructors in inheritance.
Answer:
(i) Base class constructors are executed first, before the derived class constructors execution.
(ii) Derived class cannot inherit the base class constructor but it can call the base class constructor by using,
Base_case name: :base_class_constructor() in derived class definition.
(iii) If there are multiple base classes, then it starts executing from the left most base class.
(iv) In multilevel inheritance, the constructors will be executed in the order of inheritance.
(v) Destructors are executed in the reverse order of inheritance.

Question 28.
Explain the different types of inheritance.
Answer:
There are different types of inheritance viz., Single inheritance, Multiple inheritance, Multilevel
inheritance, Hybrid inheritance and Hierarchical inheritance.
(i) Single Inheritance:
When a derived class inherits only from one base class, it is known as single inheritance.

(ii) Multiple Inheritance:
When a derived class inherits from multiple base classes it is known as multiple inheritance.

(iii) Hierarchical inheritance:
When more than one derived classes are created from a single base class, it is known as Hierarchical inheritance.

(iv) Multilevel Inheritance:
The transitive nature of inheritance is itself reflected by this form of inheritance. When a class is derived from a class which is a derived class – then it is referred to as multilevel inheritance.

(iv) Hybrid inheritance:
When there is a combination of more than one type of inheritance, it is known as hybrid inheritance. Hence, it may be a combination of Multilevel and Multiple inheritance or Hierarchical and Multilevel inheritance or Hierarchical, Multilevel and Multiple inheritance.

Question 29.
Explain the different visibility mode through pictorial representation.
Answer:
An important feature of Inheritance is to know which member of the base class will be acquired by the derived class. This is done by using visibility modes. The accessibility of base class by the derived class is controlled by visibility modes. The three visibility modes are private, protected and public. The default visibility mode is private. Though visibility modes and access specifiers look similar, the main difference between them is Access specifiers control the accessibility of the members with in the class where as visibility modes control the access of inherited members with in the class.

Private visibility mode:
When a base class is inherited with private visibility mode, the public and protected members of the base class become ‘private’ members of the derived class.

Protected visibility mode:
When a base class is inherited with protected visibility mode the protected and public members of the base class become ‘protected members’ of the derived class.

Public visibility mode:
When a base class is inherited with public visibility mode, the protected members of the base class will be inherited as protected members of the derived class and the public members of the base class will be inherited as public members of the derived class.
