Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 17, Problem 1MC
Program Description Answer
When instantiating a generic class, only reference type arguments are passed to the type parameters.
Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Reference types only:
- Only non-primitive types can be substituted for type parameters when creating instances for generic class.
- Reference types are non-primitive types.
- The compiler autoboxes the primitive type values to reference types.
Explanation for incorrect options:
a. Primitive types only:
When creating instances for a generic class, only non-primitive types can be substituted for type parameters.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
c. Interface types only:
The type parameters can be specified as interface type but the arguments passed to type parameters at the time of instantiation, must be real types such as Integer, String, and so on.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
d. Primitive, reference, and interface types:
When creating instances for a generic class, only reference types can be substituted for type parameters.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

1. Why do you need to implement all the methods of an interface in class which implements an interface?
Assignment 2: -
Create the first Apex class or program
-- In this apex class, we have to create 2 methods
-- In the first method, we will take the argument of (account id), and the return type will be (the list of contact).
-- In the second method, we will take the argument of (list of account) and the return type will be ( map)

Every Bubble object has the following member variables: X coordinate Y coordinate Size (i.e. its radius) Color Complete main.cc Your task is to complete main.cc to build and draw Bubble objects based on user input. main.cc already does the work to draw the Bubble as an image saved in bubble.bmp. You should follow these steps: First, you will need to create a Bubble object from the Bubble class. Next, you must prompt the user to provide the following: an int for the X coordinate, an int for the Y coordinate, an int for the Bubble's size, and a std::string for the Bubble's color.
