Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Create the superclass, then create the subclass with extends, then override methods if needed, then add new members, then use the subclass.
First create the superclass, then create subclass with extends, override methods if needed, add new members, and then use the subclass.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create the superclass, then create the subclass with extends, then override methods if needed, then add new members, then use the subclass.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the superclass must exist before a subclass can extend it. After creating the subclass, overriding allows customization, then new members can be added, and finally the subclass is used.
- ✗
Create the subclass, then create the superclass, then override methods, then add new members, then use the subclass.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because the superclass must be created first. A subclass cannot extend a class that doesn't exist yet. Starting with the subclass would cause a compilation error.
- ✗
Create the superclass, then create the subclass with extends, then add new members, then override methods, then use the subclass.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because adding new members before overriding methods is not wrong per se, but the typical logical order is to first override inherited behavior before adding new functionality. Also, overriding after adding new members may lead to confusion about which methods are available.
- ✗
Create the superclass, then create the subclass without using extends (copy code), then override methods, then add new members, then use the subclass.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because without using the 'extends' keyword, the subclass does not actually inherit from the superclass. This defeats the purpose of inheritance and leads to code duplication and lack of polymorphism.
