b. superclass

c. slave class

d. child class

Expert Solution & Answer

Program Description Answer

 In an inheritance relationship, the superclass is referred as “General class”.

Hence, the correct answer is option is “B”.

Explanation of Solution

Inheritance:

In python, it is possible to construct a new class that inherits the members of an existing class, which is referred as “inheritance”.

 “is a” relationship in inheritance:

In python, if one object is a specialized kind of another object, then there should be an “is a” relationship between those objects. This is used to create the “is a” relationship among several classes.

For example:

  • A truck is a vehicle.
  • A circle is a shape.

Super class and sub class:

In python, the inheritance concept involves two classes. They are superclass and subclass.

  • A superclass is also referred as “general class” or “base class” and a subclass is referred as “specialized class” or “derived class”.
  • The sub class is an extended kind of the superclass. This means a subclass can inherit the attributes and class member functions from the superclass without rewriting them in the subclass.
  • Extra methods can be added in the subclass, which implies the specialized kind of the superclass.

Explanation for the incorrect options:

In inheritance, a subclass is referred as “specialized class” or “derived class”.

Hence, option “A” is wrong.

In inheritance, slave class is not present.

Hence, option “C” is wrong.

In inheritance, a subclass is referred as “specialized class” or “derived class” or child class.

Hence, option “D” is wrong.

Lab 07: Java Graphics (Bonus lab) In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: ➤ A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). о The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: о An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. ○ о о A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels.…
If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A. (a)  Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages. (b)  Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages. (c)  Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?
