Polygon class implementation of the Draw method. Which code segment should you use
to accomplish this?

Accepted Answer

class Square: Polygon
{
 public new void Draw()
 {
 // additional code . . .
 }
}

Answer

class Square: Polygon
{
 public override void Draw()
 {
 // additional code . . .
 }
}

 public double Width { get; set; }
 public double GetArea()
 {
 return Length * Width;
 }
 public int CompareTo(object obj)
 {
 // to be completed
 }
}
 You need to complete the definition of the CompareTo method to enable comparison of
the Rectangle objects. Which of the following codes should you write?

Accepted Answer

public int CompareTo(object obj)
{
 Rectangle target = (Rectangle)obj;
 double diff = this.GetArea() − target.GetArea();
 if (diff == 0)
 return 0;
 else if (diff > 0)
 return 1;
 else return −1;

Answer

public int CompareTo(object obj)
{
 Rectangle target = (Rectangle)obj;
 if (this == target)
 return 0;
 else if (this > target)
 return 1;
 else return −1;
}

Answer

public int CompareTo(object obj)

Question 37

You are writing code for a new method named Process:

Rectangle r = o as Rectangle;

Answer

Rectangle r = (Rectangle) o;

Answer

Rectangle r = o is Rectangle;

Answer

Rectangle r = (o != null) ? o as rectangle: (Rectangle) o;

Question 39

You are writing code to handle events in your program. You define a delegate named
RectangleHandler like this:
public delegate void RectangleHandler(Rectangle rect);
You also create a variable of the RectangleHandler type as follows:
RectangleHandler handler;
 Later in the program, you need to add a method named DisplayArea to the method
invocation list of the handler variable. The signature of the DisplayArea method matches
the signature of the RectangleHandler method. Any code that you write should not
affect any existing event-handling code. Given this restriction, which of the following
codes should you write?
