Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

To redefine a component of a superclass in a subclass, you need to do the following12:

You add the clause REDEFINITION to the component declaration in the subclass. This indicates that the component is inherited from the superclass and needs to be reimplemented in the subclass. The redefinition must happen in the same visibility section as the component declaration in the superclass. For example, if the superclass has a public method m1, the subclass must also declare the redefined method m1 as public with the REDEFINITION clause.

You implement the redefined component in the subclass. This means that you provide the new logic or behavior for the component that is specific to the subclass. The redefined component in the subclass will override the original component in the superclass when the subclass object is used. For example, if the superclass has a method m1 that returns 'Hello', the subclass can redefine the method m1 to return 'Hi' instead.

You cannot do any of the following:

You implement the redefined component for a second time in the superclass. This is not possible, because the superclass already has an implementation for the component that is inherited by the subclass. The subclass is responsible for providing the new implementation for the redefined component, not the superclass.

You add the clause REDEFINITION to the component in the superclass. This is not necessary, because the superclass does not need to indicate that the component can be redefined by the subclass. The subclass is the one that needs to indicate that the component is redefined by adding the REDEFINITION clause to the component declaration in the subclass.

I think we might need to look at both the subclass and superclass for the correct answers, but I can't remember if it's A or D for the REDEFINITION clause.

I feel like option A is definitely wrong because you can't redefine in the subclass like that.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about adding a REDEFINITION clause. Is it in the subclass or superclass?

I think we need to implement the redefined component in the subclass, so maybe option C is correct?

This seems straightforward to me. The question clearly states we want to redefine a component in the subclass, so the correct answers are A and C. I'm confident in those choices.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I think the key is using the REDEFINITION clause, but I'm not sure if that goes in the superclass or the subclass. I'll have to review my notes before answering.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know we need to redefine the component, but I'm not sure if that's done in the superclass or the subclass. I'll have to think this through carefully.

D) sounds like a trap answer. Why would you add the REDEFINITION clause to the superclass? That doesn't make any sense.
