Test II: True or False

Direction: Read each statement carefully. Determine if the statement is true or false and write your answer in the
provided space.

26. Encapsulation in OOP is the practice of bundling data and methods that operate on the data into a single unit.
27. Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class.
28. Polymorphism means that an object can take on multiple forms.
29. Abstraction in OOP is about hiding implementation details and showing only the functionality.
30. A constructor in Java must have the same name as the class and can have a return type.
31. In OOP, an abstract class cannot be instantiated but can contain fully implemented methods.
32. A Java interface can have constructors and instance variables.
33. Method overloading allows multiple methods in the same class to have the same name but different parameters.
34. Method overriding is used when a subclass provides a specific implementation of a method already defined in its
parent class.
35. In OOP, static methods belong to the class, not to any specific instance.
36. The this keyword in Java refers to the current object of a class.
37. An abstract class can implement multiple interfaces in Java.
38. A final class in Java can be subclassed.
39. In OOP, a class can have multiple constructors but only one destructor.
40. A singleton class ensures that only one instance of the class can be created during the program's lifetime.
41. Inheritance supports the "is-a" relationship in OOP.
42. Encapsulation ensures that an object's internal state can only be changed through its methods.
43. In Java, an interface can extend multiple other interfaces.
44. An abstract method in Java is a method that has no implementation and must be overridden in derived classes.
45. The super keyword in Java is used to refer to the parent class's constructor or methods.
46. Static methods can access instance variables directly.
47. Overloading and overriding are examples of polymorphism in OOP.
48. A class marked as abstract in Java must have at least one abstract method.
49. Multiple inheritance is supported in Java through the use of classes.
50. OOP principles are only applicable in object-oriented programming languages.
