1. A sports club keeps details of its members. Each member has a unique membership
number, first name, surname and telephone number recorded. Three classes have been
identified:
Member
JuniorMember
SeniorMember
The classes JuniorMember and SeniorMember are related, by single inheritance, to the
class Member:
a. Draw an inheritance diagram for the given classes. [3]
Member
JuniorMember SeniorMember
b. Programs that use objects of the class Member need to create a new member, edit a
member’s details, delete a member’s details and show a member’s details. No other
form of access is to be allowed.
Complete the definition of the attributes and the procedure new for the Member class.
[2]
Class Member
private memberID
public procedure new(aMemberID, aFirstname, aSurname, aTel)
memberID = aMemberID
endprocedure
...
endclass
c. In object-oriented programming, what is meant by encapsulation? [1]
Encapsulation is when you create a bunch of methods and attributes and usually store
it together which is in a class.
d. (i) What is meant by instantiation of an object? [2]
Instantiation of an object is when you create a new object/variable object.

(ii) Write a statement to create a new Member object with membership number A456, first
name John, surname Bell, telephone number 07981 345987. [2]
member_1 = Member(“A456”, “John”, “Bell”, “07981 345987”)
2. In an object-oriented computer game there is a class called Crawlers. Two subclasses of
Crawlers are Spiders and Bugs.
a. Draw an inheritance diagram for this. [2]
Crawlers
Spiders bugs
b. For the subclass Spiders suggest:
(i) one attribute [1]
Speed attribute
(ii) one method [1]
ShootWeb()
3. In object-oriented programming, what is meant by polymorphism? [2]
Polymorphism is when there are 2 different classes, usually inheriting from a parent class
but those classes have different methods and or attributes.
4. An object-oriented program stores details of a class Bird and a subclass Seagull,
defined as follows.
Class Bird
public procedure move
system.print("Birds can fly")
endprocedure
endclass
Class Seabird inherits Bird
public procedure move (override)
system.print("Seabirds can fly and swim")
endprocedure
endclass
Two new objects are instantiated with the lines:
2

bird1 = new Bird()
bird2 = new Seabird()
a. What will be printed when the following lines are executed?
bird1.move
bird2.move [2]
Birds can fly
Seabirds can fly and swim
b. Explain your answer. [2]
The reason that bird2.move prints “Seabirds can fly and swim” is because that
procedure is a local variable to that class and so it overrides the move procedure from
the parent class as shown in the code.
