Software Exam Flashcards
Prep
You are creating an application for computers that run Windows XP or later. This application must run after the computer starts. The user must
not be aware that the application is running.
The application performs tasks that require permissions that the logged-in user does not have.
Which type of application allows this behavior?
Windows Service application
An application presents the user with a graphical interface. The interface includes buttons that the user clicks to perform tasks. Each time the
user clicks a button, a method is called that corresponds to that button.
Which term is used to describe this programming model?
Event driven
How does a console-based application differ from a Windows Forms application?
Console-based applications do not display a graphical interface.
Which type of Windows application presents a parent window that contains child windows?
. Multiple-document interface (MDI)
The purpose of a constructor in a class is to:
Initialize an object of that class.
A class named Manager is derived from a parent class named Employee. The Manager class includes characteristics that are unique to managers.
Which term is used to describe this object-oriented concept?
Inheritance
Which term is used to describe a class that inherits functionality from an existing class?
Derived class
Derived Class: A class that is created from an existing class. The derived class inherits all members and member functions of a base class. The
derived class can have more functionality with respect to the Base class and can easily access the Base class. A Derived class is also called a child
class or subclass.
Two classes named Circle and Square inherit from the Shape class. Circle and Square both inherit Area from the Shape class, but each computes
Area differently.
Which term is used to describe this object-oriented concept?
polymorphism
You can use polymorphism to in two basic steps:
Create a class hierarchy in which each specific shape class derives from a common base class.
Use a virtual method to invoke the appropriate method on any derived class through a single call to the base class method.
You create an object of type ANumber. The class is defined as follows.
. 3
ran with Java
private int _number = 7;
public ANumber() {
}
public ANumber(int number) {
_number = number;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
ANumber lp = new ANumber(3);
System.out.println(lp._number);
}
}
out put is 3
You need to allow a consumer of a class to modify a private data member.
What should you do?
Provide a public function that assigns a value to the data member.
In this example (see below), the Employee class contains two private data members, name and salary. As private members, they cannot be
accessed except by member methods. Public methods named GetName and Salary are added to allow controlled access to the private
members. The name member is accessed by way of a public method, and the salary member is accessed by way of a public read-only property.
Note: The private keyword is a member access modifier. Private access is the least permissive access level. Private members are accessible
only within the body of the class or the struct in which they are declared
Example:
class Employee2
{
private string name = “FirstName, LastName”;
private double salary = 100.0;
public string GetName()
{
return name;
}
public double Salary
{
get { return salary; }
}
}
You are designing a class for an application. You need to restrict the availability of the member variable accessCount to the base class and to any
classes that are derived from the base class.
Which access modifier should you use?
Protected
You are creating an application that presents users with a graphical interface in which they can enter data. The application must run on computers that do not have network connectivity.
Which type of application should you choose?
Windows Forms
Use Windows Forms when a GUI is needed.
You are creating an application that presents users with a graphical interface. Users will run this application from remote computers. Some of the remote computers do not have the . NET Framework installed. Users do not have permissions to install software.
Which type of application should you choose?
ASP. NET
The elements of an array must be accessed by:
Using an integer index.
Simulating the final design of an application in order to ensure that the development is progressing as expected is referred to as:
Prototyping
