Inheritance Implementation - C# Questions & Answers

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?

```
 class sample
```
```
 {
```
```
     public  int i;
```
```
     void display() 
```
```
     {
```
```
         Console.WriteLine(i);
```
```
     }
```
```
}    
```
```
class sample1 : sample 
```
```
{
```
```
    public  int j;
```
```
    public void display() 
```
```
    {
```
```
        Console.WriteLine(j);
```
```
    }
```
```
}    
```
```
class Program
```
```
{
```
```
    static void Main(string[] args)
```
```
    {
```
```
        sample1 obj = new sample1();
```
```
        obj.i = 1;
```
```
        obj.j = 2;
```
```
        obj.display();
```
```
        Console.ReadLine();
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

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?

```
class sample
```
```
{
```
```
    protected int index;
```
```
    public sample()
```
```
    {
```
```
        index = 0;
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```
```
class sample 1: sample
```
```
{
```
```
    public void add()
```
```
    {
```
```
        index += 1;
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```
```
class Program
```
```
{
```
```
    static void Main(string[] args)
```
```
    {
```
```
        sample 1 z = new sample 1();
```
```
        z . add();
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

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

3. The following C# code is run on single level of inheritance. What will be the Correct statement in the following C# code?

```
 class sample
```
```
 {
```
```
     int i = 10;
```
```
     int j = 20;
```
```
     public void display() 
```
```
     {
```

         Console.WriteLine("base method ");

```
     }
```
```
 }    
```
```
 class sample1 : sample 
```
```
 {
```
```
     public  int s = 30;
```
```
 }    
```
```
 class Program
```
```
 {
```
```
     static void Main(string[] args)
```
```
     {
```
```
         sample1 obj = new sample1();
```

         Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", obj.i,  obj.j,  obj.s);

```
         obj.display();
```
```
         Console.ReadLine();
```
```
     }
```
```
 }
```

10, 20, 30
base method

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.

4. What will be size of the object created depicted by C# code snippet?

```
 class baseclass
```
```
 {
```
```
     private int a;
```
```
     protected int b;
```
```
     public int c;
```
```
 }
```
```
 class derived : baseclass
```
```
 {
```
```
     private int x;
```
```
     protected int y;
```
```
     public int z;
```
```
 }
```
```
 class Program
```
```
 {
```
```
     static Void Main(string[] args)
```
```
     {
```
```
         derived a = new derived();
```
```
     }
```
```
 }
```

        Console.ReadLine();
```
```
    }
```
```
}
```

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.

I am a base class

c) Compile time error
d) None of the mentioned
