- True or False If a method belongs to a class, then you must write a method’s definition inside the class.arrow_forwardDesign a class that holds the following personal data: name address age phone numberWrite appropriate accessor and mutator methods. Also, create a program that creates three instances of the class. One instance should hold yourinformation, and the other two should hold your friends’ or family members’information.arrow_forwardOverriding is useful when a method has the same signature and type as a method in the parent class. O a local variable has the same name as an instance variable. O you want to change the return type of a method. O a method has the same signature as another method in the same class.arrow_forward
- A Private variable in a class can be accessed directly by a Public method in the same class. a. True b. Falsearrow_forwardPYTHON PROGRAMMING 1.Create an empty class called Car. 2.Create a method called initialize in the class, which takes a name as input and saves it as a data attribute. 3.Create an instance of the class, and save it in a variable called car. 4.Call the initialize method with the string “Ford".arrow_forwardDesign a LandTract class that has two fields (i.e. instance variables): one for the tract’s length(a double), and one for the width (a double). The class should have: a constructor that accepts arguments for the two fields a method that returns the tract’s area(i.e. length * width) an equals method that accepts a LandTract object as an argument. If the argument object holds the same data (i.e. length and width) as the calling object, this method should return true. Otherwise, it should return false. a toString method (that returns a String representation of the tract’s length, width, and area). Demonstrate the class in a program by creating an array of three LandTract objects initialized with user input. Then, print the info of the LandTract objects stored in the array by invoking the toString method (implicitly or explicity). Also, use the equals method to compare at least two LandTract objects and print wether they are of equal size or not. Sample Output:…arrow_forward
- Indicate whether the statement is true or false. 13. The non-static methods of a class are called instance method. 14. A constructor has no type and is therefore a void method. 15. A class can have only two constructors. 16. In shallow copying, each reference variable refers to its own object. 21. The method finalize automatically executes when the class objects goes out of scope. 22. A mutator method of a class changes the values of data members of the class. 23. In java, the reference this is used to refer to only the methods, not the instance variables of a class. 24. Classes that are defined within other classes are called inside classes. 25. Modifiers are used to alter the behavior of the class 26. A constructor has the same name as the class. 27. Constructors are called like any other method. 28. You can perform some arithmetic operations on class objects.arrow_forwardDoes a method have access to the original object or a copy of it when it receives an object as a parameter?arrow_forwardJAVAarrow_forward
