Part I:

(A)
B’s constructor is invoked
A’s constructor is invoked

(B)
(a) The program has a syntax error because x does not have the compareTo
method.

(b) The program has a syntax error because the member access operator (.) is
executed before the casting operator.

(C)
(1) false
(2) true
(3) false (because they are created at different times)
(4) true

(D) Will statement3 be executed?

Answer: No.

If the exception is not caught, will statement4 be executed?

Answer: No.

If the exception is caught in the catch clause, will statement4 be

executed?
Answer: Yes.

(E) The method throws a checked exception. You have to declare to throw
the exception in the method header.

Part II:

 return result;
}

public class Hexagon extends GeometricObject implements Comparable {

private double side;

/** Construct a Hexagon with the specified side */

public Hexagon(double side) {
// Implement it
this.side = side;
}

/** Implement the abstract method getArea in

GeometricObject */
public double getArea() {
// Implement it ( area = 3 * 3 * side * side )
return 3 * Math.squr(3) * side * side;
}

/** Implement the abstract method getPerimeter in

GeometricObject */
public double getPerimeter() {
// Implement it
Return 6 * side;
}

/** Implement the compareTo method in

the Comparable interface to */
public int compareTo(Object obj) {
// Implement it (compare two Hexagons based on their areas)
if (this.side > ((Hexagon)obj).side)
return 1;
else if (this.side == ((Hexagon)obj).side)
return 0;

Snider, Guy Edward. Taxation of the gross receipts

of railways in Wisconsin. *$1. Macmillan.
 6–46362.

A monograph whose main thesis is “that the gross receipts tax

is the superior tax for railroads, and that the rejection of that
tax, for the ad valorem system in Wisconsin was a mistake.”
(Ann. Am. Acad.)

“Very painstaking, and in many respects excellent study.”

“This paper presents numerous facts of interest to the student

When complete there will be three volumes under the general

title, “The world machine.” The first phase, “Cosmic mechanism”
is the one treated in the present volume, the two following are
to be “The mechanism of life,” and “The social mechanism.” This
volume “shows how the modern conception of the Cosmos was
worked out from the crude fancies of primitive men, through
ages of observation and reflection, into the immense range and
detail of accurately systematized knowledge. The chief
contributors, ancient and modern, to the grand result receive
due commemoration.” (Outlook.)

one idea or group of ideas has been developed from previous

Souttar, Robinson. Short history of mediæval

peoples, from the dawn of the Christian era to the
fall of Constantinople. *$3 Scribner.
7–25500.

“Mr. Souttar begins with a review of the Augustan age and

devotes three chapters to Roman literature before taking up the
serious narrative of the reign of Tiberius. The progress of the
Roman empire from that time until the death of Justinian
occupies more than half of the large volume. Comfortable space
is found in seventy-two pages for a sketch of Mohammedanism
and an equal measure is allotted to the crusades. The remainder
of the book is devoted to the Byzantine empire from Justinian to
the fall of Constantinople in 1453.”—Am. Hist. R.

“Possibly the greatest praise we can give the book is that,

notwithstanding the compression, it is not only not dull, but in
fact very readable, not like the author’s own description of early
Roman literature, ‘Historic annals so bald and imperfect that they
are of little use even to the historian.’”
+ Acad. 72: 312. Mr. 30, ’07. 2140w.
−
 “The reader appears to be in safe hands, however, for the
current modern opinion is not departed from, unless the author
takes occasion to differ with some one as to the causes of the
decline and fall of the empire, or as to the effect of Christianity
upon early political and social institutions.” J. M. Vincent.
+ Am. Hist. R. 13: 175. O. ’07. 470w.
“He has used in his book what may be regarded as
respectable authorities but he shows no knowledge of the special
literature concerning the topics which he treats. The author is
seen at his best in his chapters on the early emperors, whom he
treats with both fairness and common sense. But inveterate
mistakes are repeated because ... Dr. Souttar is not abreast of
recent investigation.”

+
“The truth of the matter is that Dr. Souttar is not sufficiently
armed with authorities to reverse the judgment of history. Dr.
Souttar’s inability to deal with the more obscure problems of
history is shown by his treatment of the subject of Roman
persecution of the Christians.”

“These letters from Madame de Staël to Benjamin Constant,

while not of great political importance, show clearly the temper
of the times, as well as the emotions of the distinguished woman
who wrote them. They are not many, and do not by any means
cover the whole period when these two famous people were
intimately connected. They show the decadence of their
devotion, and represent, by implication, ‘the inconstant Constant’

interest, but are perhaps not quite so important or interesting as

(Makers of British art.) *$1.25. Scribner.
“An attempt to give Lord Leighton of Stretton his true place in
art history, and at the same time designate a proper proportion
to his gentlemanly characteristics. By birth, fortune, and
 environment Frederick Leighton was singularly placed for
advancement in any profession toward which he might have
been attracted. The first 173 pages of the book form a narrative
biography built around the work of the artist from his early
student sketches in Berlin and Florence to the unfinished
canvases left at his death.... The closing pages of the book deal
in a fragmentary, discursive, yet natural, manner with Leighton’s
versatility, nobility of purpose, courtesy, sincerity, daily habits

The story is well told and the motives, aims, and ideals of its

“Mrs. Stanard has been able to write a tolerably complete

account of the whole stirring episode. It cannot be said that
every gap has been filled out, neither is it altogether certain that
the author’s interpretations are always correct. The historical

Herbert; Lord Herbert of Lea. 2v. *$7.50. Dutton.
7–28487.

Owing to the dearth of facts available for Lord Stanmore’s

biography he offers, as he says, a “bare recital of outer events”
with “a sketch of the times in which Lord Herbert lived.” “His
career was hardly such as to place him among the distinguished
men of his generation, and certainly was not such as to warrant
his biographer’s assertion that had he lived longer he would have
been prime minister of England. His chief claims to remembrance
rest on his charming personality and on his connection with the
little group of Parliamentarians who banded themselves together
to keep alive Sir Robert Peel’s principles and policies.” (Outlook.)

“Lord Stanmore has, on the whole, done his work well, but
some readers will object to the occasional intrusion of his own
personality and opinions.”

author concludes that “There is nothing in medical experience
which speaks against the moderate use of good alcoholic drinks
by the public, but much that speaks in favor of it,” on the other,
that the bodily cells of man are not strangers to alcohol and to
its elaboration, that it nourishes, exerts a specific action on the
nervous system, acts no less as a nutrient and a specific than
cereals and sugar, and that the disposition to drink excessively
has its origin in the peculiarities and circumstances of the
individual, and that alcohol does not of itself possess the
property of inducing excessive use.
