At runtime- @>A attempts to convert numberBef to a .ouble object- but numberBef is an instance of 0ntegernot .ouble. numberArray6/8is of the 0nteger type. The program has a synta4 error because 4 does not have the compareTo method. The program has a synta4 error because the member access operator 1.2 is e4ecuted before the casting operator.

0ndicate true or false for the follo3ing statements: 1. An abstract class can have instances created using the constructor of the abstract class. Answer: +o- but an instance of its concrete subclass is also an instance of the parent abstract class. ,ou

cannot create an object using the constructor of the abstract class. Go3everyou can create an object using a concrete subclass of the abstract class. This object is an instance of the subclass and it is also an instance of the abstract class.

2. !.

An abstract class can be e4tended. Answer: True An interface can be a separate unit and can be compiled into a bytecode file. Answer: True

" A subclass of a nonHabstract superclass cannot be abstract. Answer: False # A subclass cannot override a concrete method in a superclass to declare it abstract. Answer: False- This is rare- but useful 3hen the implementation of the method in the superclass becomes invalid in the subclass. 0n this case- the subclass must be declared abstract. $. An abstract method must be nonHstatic Answer: True ' An interface can have static methods. Answer: False ) An interface can e4tend one or more interfaces. Answer: True *. An interface can e4tend an abstract class. Answer: False 1/. An abstract class can e4tend an interface. Answer: False
