Topic: Superclass



  
 Superclass Evidence
The context of the superclass is that of the object.
Because the superclass is a generalization, its plausibility must always be at least as great as that of the object.
If no superclass evidence is available, this computation is not applied.

Refer to a superclass object with a subclass reference -- it is not true to say that a superclass "is-a" object of the subclass -- will generate a syntax error -- the subclass reference must first be cast to a superclass reference VII.
Refer to a subclass object with a superclass reference --safe, because the subclass object "is-a" object of the superclass -- such code can only refer to superclass members -- if this code refers to subclass-only members by using the superclass reference, the compiler will generate a syntax error 4.

 Chapter 7 Notes
Relationship between Superclass Objects and Subclass Objects A. An object of a subclass can be treated as an object of its corres- ponding superclass, but a superclass object is not automatically a subclass object.
H. Every object of a subclass is also an object of that subclass's superclass, but a superclass is not an object of it's subclasses.
Inheritance A. A form of software reusabilty in which new classes are created from existing classes by absorbing their attributes and behaviors and embellishing these with capabilities the new classes require, thus saving time in program development by encouraging the reuse of proven and debugged high-quality software, and reducing problems after a system goes operational.

 Inheritance
The exception is that the code of a subclass and its module can call the methods and routines provided by its superclass passing in subclass objects as arguments in positions where an object of the superclass type, or of the type implemented by the superclass, is required.
If such a method or routine were provided, it could be used by the code in the subclass and its module to cause subclass objects to masquerade as superclass objects.
None of the methods or routines that the superclass provides to its subclasses should create an alias for one of the superclass objects.

 Dummies::Making Generalizations in UML 2
When your software runs, and you create an instance of a subclass, the constructor of the superclass is executed first, followed by the constructor of the subclass.
You draw a generalization line from each subclass to the superclass.
The classes that share the common features are known as subclasses of the superclass.

 superclass - definition of superclass in Encyclopedia
In computer science, superclass is a class that is used to derive other classes.
The classes that are derived from a superclass are known as child classes or derived classes.
A superclass allows for a generic interface to specialized functionality through the use of virtual functions.

 Comp 284 - Homework 5 Solution
When an overridden method is called through a superclass reference, the version of that method that is executed is the one defined by th object being referred to.
Object is the built-in class that is an implicit superclass for all other classes.
A superclass reference can refer to a subclass object.

The idea is, that when the subclass extends the superclass, the printing does not require an additional print method, but rather an extension of the functionality of the method itself: overriding of that method from the superclass.
NB The is-a extension is a methodological issue, not something that the language (compiler) enforces: a method could be overridden by one that has a different functionality, e.g., in the example by a print method that prints the poem the Ancient Mariner.
We first consider the case where the new code concerns new variables and methods: extension.

 Java Advanced Placement Study Guide: More on Arrays
Both Superclass and Object are superclasses of the array type referred to by the reference variable named A.
Then the superclass reference is downcast to the actual class type of the array and assigned to a different reference variable.
This reference is assigned to an array reference of a type that is a superclass of the actual class type of the array.

 esm_deitel_javahtp_5Object-Oriented Programming: InheritanceTips
When a superclass method is overridden in a subclass, the subclass version often calls the superclass version to do additional work.
It is a syntax error to override a method with a more restricted access modifier.
If subclasses are larger than they need to be (i.e., contain too much functionality), memory and processing resources might be wasted.

 A Monotonic Superclass Linearization for Dylan
A new class is defined as the subclass of some pre-existing classes (its superclasses - in a single-inheritance language, only one direct superclass is allowed), and it inherits the properties of the superclasses, unless those properties are overridden in the new class.
Again, parenthesized entries indicate the number of relevant classes where the difference or inconsistency was not a result of a similar problem in a superclass.
This commonly occurs during development if classes near the root of the heterarchy are redefined with extra superclasses that might already be inherited by some subclasses.

It is like this: For a visual development i use a form editor that needs a superclass (my Xletbean) which extends HContainer as a container.
The more useful and comfortable solution would be that the user creates a method in my form editor (subclass) for adding just the HComponents (or ComponentBeans) to the superclasses HScene that he wants to have in his application...

As you might expect, subclasses work just like their superclass (inherit all of the functionality) except that they typically add extra funtionality.

That is, several classes with common features are generalized into a superclass; original classes become its subclasses.
The concept of generalization and specialization apply to knowledge-based (expert) systems which combine database technology with artificial intelligence concepts and use frame based representation of knowledge.
The following kinds of classes exist; Abstract classes, which define attributes and operations, but do not have objects corresponding to those classes (Used mainly for inherited attributes and operations) Concrete classes, which can have objects (entities) belonging to the class Template classes specify a template that can further be used to define other classes.
