Practice: Inheritance

Take out a piece of paper. We’ll be programming on paper.

Problem 1

• Create a class hierarchy of Vehicles. There should be a base class Vehicle and at least two sub-classes, Automobile and Truck.

  • The base class should have the following member variables:

    • String VIN
    • Double weight

  • What are some of the other properties/member variables in your class hierarchy?

Problem 2

• Answer the following questions about your class hierarchy.

  • What is the visibility of the base class member variables? Why?

  • What are the base class member variables?

  • What are the sub-class member variables?

  • What are some other options or organizations for this class hierarchy?
