20.10. Multiple Choice Questions

Q-1: Given the below code, what would be printed (ignore newlines and spacing between sentences)?

class Person:
    def work(self):
        print("A person can work.")

    def food(self):
        print("A person eats food.")

class Employee(Person):
    def work(self):
        print("An employee works.")

p1 = Person()
p2 = Employee()
p1.work()
p2.work()
p1.food()
p2.food()

• A person can work. A person can work. An employee works. A person eats food.
• Try again!
• A person can work. An employee works. A person eats food.
• Try again!
• The code won't compile.
• Try again!
• A person can work. An employee works. A person eats food. A person eats food.
• Correct! Since Employee inherited from Person, the food method works for the Employee class as well.
• A person can work. A person can work. An employee works. A person eats food. A person eats food.
• Try again!

Q-2: Given the below code, what would be printed (ignore newlines and spacing between sentences)?

class Person:
   def work(self):
      print("A person can work.")

   def food(self):
      print("A person eats food.")

class Employee(Person):
   pass

p1 = Person()
p2 = Employee()
p1.work()
p2.work()
p1.food()
p2.food()

• A person can work. None. A person eats food. None.
• Try again!
• A person can work. A person can work. A person eats food. A person eats food.
• Correct! Since Employee inherited from Person, the methods work and food work for Employee as well.
• The code won't compile.
• Try again!
• A person can work. A person eats food.
• Try again!

Q-3: Given the below code, what would be printed (ignore newlines and spacing between sentences)?

class Person:
   def work(self):
      print("A person can work.")

   def food(self):
      print("A person eats food.")

class Employee(Person):
   def work(self):
      super().work()
      print("I can work.")

   def food(self):
      super().food()
      print("I can eat.")

p1 = Person()
p2 = Employee()
p1.work()
p2.work()
p1.food()
p2.food()

• A person can work. I can work. A person eats food. I can eat.
• Try again! There are 2 sentences missing: "A person can work." and "A person eats food.".
• A person can work. None. I can work. A person eats food. None. I can eat.
• Try again! Using super().method in the child class Employee method inherits the method (print statements, in this case) from the parent class Person.
• The code won't compile.
• Try again! The code compiles.
• A person can work. A person can work. I can work. A person eats food. A person eats food. I can eat.

Q-4: For which of the following can inheritance be used?

• Keyboard inherits from Computer.
• Try again! Keyboard isn't a type of Computer, so inheritance can't be used.
• Student inherits from Person.
• Correct! Student is a type of Person, so inheritance can be used.
• Encyclopedia inherits from Book.
• Correct! Encyclopedia is a type of Book, so inheritance can be used.
• Person inherits House.
• Try again! Person isn't a type of House, so inheritance can't be used.

Q-5: Can a class only inherit from another class if it is a type of the class?

• Yes, a class can only inherit from another class if it is a type of the class.
• Correct! A class can only inherit from another class if it is a type of the class. For example, an encyclopedia is a type of book.
• No, a class can inherit from another class if they're associated.
• Try again!
• Yes and no. A class can inherit from another class if they're associated or if it is a type of the class.
• Try again!

Q-6: What phrases represent inheritance?

• A (class) has a (class).
• Try again! Classes that are associated can't use inheritance.
• A (class) can be substituted with (another class).
• Correct! Classes that can be substituted can use inheritance.

• Try again! Classes that are associated can't use inheritance.
• A (class) is a type of (other class).
• Correct! Classes that can be substituted can use inheritance.

Q-7: How do you call a method in a parent class?

• parent().method
• Do not use parent.
• parent.method
• Do not use parent. Do use ().
• super().method
• Correct! Use super().method to call parent class methods.
• super.method
• You need the ()

Q-8: If Dictionary is a subclass of Book, what line of code is needed to invoke the __init__ method in Book to Dictionary?

• Book.__init__(self)
• Correct! Using ParentClass.method is one way to invoke a method in the ParentClass to the ChildClass.
• Dictionary.__init__(self)
• Try again!
• super().__init__()
• Correct! Using super().method is one way to invoke a method in the ParentClass to the ChildClass.
• Book.super().__init__(self)
• Try again!
• Book.__init__(Dictionary)
• Try again!

Q-9: What will be printed?

class Person:
   pass

class Employee(Person):
   pass

p2 = Employee()
print(isinstance(p2, Person))

• True
• Correct! p2 is assigned to an Employee object, and the Employee object inherits from Person. Therefore, p2 is an instance of Person.
• False
• Try again!
• The code won't compile.
• Try again! The code compiles even with the pass statements.
• None
• Try again! Printing isinstance() will print either True or False if it compiles.

I

class TestItem(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp():
        i1 = Item("Coke", 2.99)
        i2 = Item("Burger", 6.99)

    def test_str_item():
        self.assertEqual(i1.__str__(), "Coke: 2.99")
        self.assertEqual(i2.__str__(), "Burger: 6.99")

II

class TestItem(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.i1 = Item("Coke", 2.99)
        self.i2 = Item("Burger", 6.99)

    def test_str_item():
        self.assertEqual(i1.__str__(), "Coke: 2.99")
        self.assertEqual(i2.__str__(), "Burger: 6.99")

III

class TestItem(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp(self):
        self.i1 = Item("Coke", 2.99)
        self.i2 = Item("Burger", 6.99)

    def test_str_item(self):
        self.assertEqual(self.i1.__str__(), "Coke: 2.99")
        self.assertEqual(self.i2.__str__(), "Burger: 6.99")

IV

class TestItem(unittest.TestCase):

    def setUp():
        i1 = Item("Coke", 2.99)

        self.assertEqual(self.i1.__str__(), "Coke: 2.99")
        self.assertEqual(self.i2.__str__(), "Burger: 6.99")

• I

• II
• The test_create method takes self and you must use self to access i1 and i2.
• III
• Correct! Remember to pass in self to methods and use self when accessing attributes.
• IV
• The setUp method takes self and you must use self in the setUp so other methods will still have access.
