C# Questions & Answers – Inheritance Implementation

This section of our 1000+ C# multiple choice questions focuses on implementation of inheritance in C# Programming Language.

1. What will be the output of the following C# code?

  1.  class sample
  2.  {
  3.      public  int i;
  4.      void display() 
  5.      {
  6.          Console.WriteLine(i);
  7.      }
  8. }    
  9. class sample1 : sample 
  10. {
  11.     public  int j;
  12.     public void display() 
  13.     {
  14.         Console.WriteLine(j);
  15.     }
  16. }    
  17. class Program
  18. {
  19.     static void Main(string[] args)
  20.     {
  21.         sample1 obj = new sample1();
  22.         obj.i = 1;
  23.         obj.j = 2;
  24.         obj.display();
  25.         Console.ReadLine();
  26.     }
  27. }

a) 1
b) 3
c) 2
d) Compile Time error
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: class sample & class sample1 both contain display() method, class sample1 inherits class sample, when display() method is called by object of class sample 1, display() method of class sample 1 is executed rather than that of Class sample.

2. What will be the Correct statement in the following C# code?

  1. class sample
  2. {
  3.     protected int index;
  4.     public sample()
  5.     {
  6.         index = 0;
  7.     }
  8. }
  9. class sample 1: sample
  10. {
  11.     public void add()
  12.     {
  13.         index += 1;
  14.     }
  15. }
  16. class Program
  17. {
  18.     static void Main(string[] args)
  19.     {
  20.         sample 1 z = new sample 1();
  21.         z . add();
  22.     }
  23. }

a) Index should be declared as protected if it is to become available in inheritance chain
b) Constructor of sample class does not get inherited in sample 1 class
c) During constructing an object referred to by z, Firstly constructor of sample class will be called followed by constructor of sample 1 class
d) All of the mentioned

  1.  class sample
  2.  {
  3.      int i = 10;
  4.      int j = 20;
  5.      public void display() 
  6.      {

  18.          sample1 obj = new sample1();
  19.          Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", obj.i,  obj.j,  obj.s);
  20.          obj.display();
  21.          Console.ReadLine();
  22.      }
  23.  }

a)

10, 20, 30
base method
advertisement

b) 10, 20, 0
c) compile time error
d) base method
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: ‘i’ and ‘ j’ are inaccessible due to protection level. Declare them as public variable and hence will be accessed in code.

  5.      public int c;
  6.  }
  7.  class derived : baseclass
  8.  {
  9.      private int x;
  10.      protected int y;
  11.      public int z;
  12.  }
  13.  class Program
  14.  {
  15.      static Void Main(string[] args)
  16.      {
  17.          derived a = new derived();
  18.      }
  19.  }

a) 20 bytes

5. What will be the output of the following C# code?

  1. class sample
  2. {
  3.     public sample()
  4.     {
  5.         Console.WriteLine("THIS IS BASE CLASS constructor");
  6.     }
  7.  }    
  8. public class sample1 : sample 
  9. {
  10.  
  11. }    
  12. class Program
  13. {
  14.     static void Main(string[] args)
  15.     {
  16.         sample1 obj = new sample1();

  18.     }
  19. }

a) Code executes successfully prints nothing
b) This is base class constructor
c) Compile time error
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Base class accessibility level is much less compared to derived class. Declare it public to get desired output.

a) 2 1
b) 1 0
c) 0 2
d) 1 2
