i. int intA[ ] = new double[10];

ii. int intA[ ] = new int[1.5];

iii. double doubleA = newdouble [-10];

iv. int intMatrik[ ][ ] = new int[10];

List list <Integer> = new LinkedList<>();

Question 4

Create a superclass, Student, and two subclasses, Undergrad and Grad. The superclass Student
should have the following data members: name, ID, grade, age, and address. The superclass,
Student should have at least one method: boolean isPassed (double grade). The purpose of the
isPassed method is to take one parameter, grade (value between 0 and 100) and check whether
the grade has passed the requirement for passing a course. In the Student class this method
should be empty as an abstract method. The two subclasses, Grad and Undergrad, will inherit
all data members of the Student class and override the method isPassed. For the UnderGrad
class, if the grade is above 70.0, then isPassed returns true, otherwise it returns false. For the
Grad class, if the grade is above 80.0, then isPassed returns true, otherwise returns false. Create
a test class for your three classes. In the test class, create one Grad object and one Undergrad
object and test your methods. For each object, provide a grade and display the results of the
isPassed method. [20 marks]
