B

In this exercise you should practice your skills in reviewing other developers code and give technical feedback on the code, e.g., what is good and what is bad. Download the three different approaches to implement the class hierarchy that you have designed in the previous exercise. Look at the code and document your comments. This exercise should be done in pairs or in by the whole group. Zipped java source code for three different answers to MIP exam august 2004. A list of questions that can be used to provided feedback on code can be found at the following URL How to give technical feedback on source code.
