Question

The following code is part of the add method in the ArraySortedBag class. What is the missing code? if self.isEmpty() or item >= self.items[len(self) - 1]:
< missing code >
A) add.self(item)
B) ArrayBag.add(item)
C) ArrayBag.add(self, item)
D) add.ArrayBag(self, item)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The missing code should call the add method of the superclass ArrayBag with the self and item parameters. Choice C correctly calls the add method with the self parameter and item parameter. Choice A and B are incorrect because they call the add method on the current instance of ArraySortedBag, which would result in an infinite recursive loop since ArraySortedBag inherits from ArrayBag. Choice D is incorrect because it incorrectly calls the add method as a static method of ArrayBag rather than an instance method, and it also passes the parameters in the wrong order.
