Q.1.(a) What is Object Oriented Programming? Explain basic components of Object

Oriented Programming .
A.1.(a) Object Oriented Programming:-
Object means a real word entity such as pen, chair, table etc. Object-Oriented
Programming is a methodology or paradigm to design a program using classes and
objects.

It simplifies the software development and maintenance by providing some

concepts: Basic Component of OOP

o Object

o Class

o Inheritance

o Polymorphism

o Abstraction

o Encapsulation

Object
Any entity that has state and behavior is known as an object. For example: chair, pen,
table, keyboard, bike etc. It can be physical and logical.

Class
Collection of objects is called class. It is a logical entity.

Inheritance
When one object acquires all the properties and behaviours of parent object i.e.
known as inheritance. It provides code reusability. It is used to achieve runtime
polymorphism.

Polymorphism
When one task is performed by different ways i.e. known as polymorphism. For
example: to convince the customer differently, to draw something e.g. shape or rectangle
etc.
In java, we use method overloading and method overriding to achieve polymorphism.
Another example can be to speak something e.g. cat speaks meaw, dog barks woof etc.

Abstraction
Hiding internal details and showing functionality is known as abstraction. For
example: phone call, we don't know the internal processing.
In java, we use abstract class and interface to achieve abstraction.

Encapsulation
Binding (or wrapping) code and data together into a single unit is known as
encapsulation. For example: capsule, it is wrapped with different medicines.
A java class is the example of encapsulation. Java bean is the fully encapsulated class
because all the data members are private here.

Q.1.(b) Explain abstraction and encapsulation with the help of examples?

A.1.(b) Encapsulation binds together the data and functions that manipulate the data,
keeping it safe from interference and misuse.
The whole idea behind encapsulation is to hide the implementation details from users. If
a data member is private it means it can only be accessed within the same class. No
outside class can access private data member (variable) of other class.
Real World Example: Every time you log into your email account( GMail, Yahoo,
Hotmail or official mail), you have a whole lot of processes taking place in the backend,
that you have no control over. So your password, would probably be retrieved in an
encyrpted form, verified and only then you are given access. You do not have any
control, over how the password is verified, and this keeps it safe from misuse.
Abstraction is a process of hiding the implementation from the user, only the
functionality is exposed here. So you are aware only of what the application does, not
how it does it.
Real World Example: When you log into your email, compose and send a mail. Again
there is a whole lot of background processing involved, verifying the recipient, sending
request to the email server, sending your email. Here you are only interested in
composing and clicking on the send button. What really happens when you click on the
send button, is hidden from you.

Q.1.(c) Explain concept of java virtual machine?

A.1.(c) JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is an abstract machine. It is a specification that

provides runtime environment in which java bytecode can be executed.
JVMs are available for many hardware and software platforms (i.e. JVM is platform
dependent).
What is JVM
It is:

1. A specification where working of Java Virtual Machine is specified. But

implementation provider is independent to choose the algorithm. Its
implementation has been provided by Sun and other companies.
2. An implementation Its implementation is known as JRE (Java Runtime
Environment).
3. Runtime Instance Whenever you write java command on the command
prompt to run the java class, an instance of JVM is created.
What it does

The JVM performs following operation:

o Loads code
o Verifies code
o Executes code
o Provides runtime environment
JVM provides definitions for the:
o Memory area
o Class file format
o Register set
o Garbage-collected heap
o Fatal error reporting etc.

Q.2.a) Write a java program to demonstrate use of different operators available in
java.

A.2.a) Java provides a rich set of operators to manipulate variables. We can

divide all the Java operators into the following groups

Arithmetic Operators

Relational Operators

Bitwise Operators

Logical Operators

Assignment Operators

Misc Operators

The Arithmetic Operators

Arithmetic operators are used in mathematical expressions in the same way
that they are used in algebra. The following table lists the arithmetic operators

Operator Description Example

Adds values on either side of the operator. A+B

+ (Addition) will give
30

Subtracts right-hand operand from left-hand A - B will

- (Subtraction)
operand. give -10

Multiplies values on either side of the operator. A * B will

* (Multiplication)
give 200

Divides left-hand operand by right-hand B / A will

/ (Division)
operand. give 2

Divides left-hand operand by right-hand operand B%A

% (Modulus) and returns remainder. will give
0

Increases the value of operand by 1. B++

++ (Increment)
gives 21

Decreases the value of operand by 1. B-- gives

-- (Decrement)
19

The Relational Operators

There are following relational operators supported by Java language.

Assume variable A holds 10 and variable B holds 20, then

Operator Description Example

Checks if the values of two operands are equal (A == B) is

== (equal to)
or not, if yes then condition becomes true. not true.

Checks if the values of two operands are equal

!= (not equal (A != B) is
or not, if values are not equal then condition
to) true.
becomes true.

 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

Checks if the value of left operand is greater

> (greater (A > B) is
than the value of right operand, if yes then
than) not true.
condition becomes true.

Checks if the value of left operand is less than

(A < B) is
< (less than) the value of right operand, if yes then condition
true.
becomes true.

>= (greater Checks if the value of left operand is greater

(A >= B) is
than or equal than or equal to the value of right operand, if
not true.
to) yes then condition becomes true.

Checks if the value of left operand is less than or

<= (less than (A <= B) is
equal to the value of right operand, if yes then
or equal to) true
condition becomes true.

The Bitwise Operators

Java defines several bitwise operators, which can be applied to the integer
types, long, int, short, char, and byte.

Bitwise operator works on bits and performs bit-by-bit operation. Assume if a

= 60 and b = 13; now in binary format they will be as follows

a = 0011 1100

b = 0000 1101

-----------------

a&b = 0000 1100

a|b = 0011 1101

a^b = 0011 0001

~a = 1100 0011

The Logical Operators

Operator Description Example

 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

Called Logical AND operator. If both the

&& (logical and) operands are non-zero, then the condition (A && B) is false
becomes true.

Called Logical OR Operator. If any of the

|| (logical or) two operands are non-zero, then the (A || B) is true
condition becomes true.

Called Logical NOT Operator. Use to

reverses the logical state of its operand. If
! (logical not) !(A && B) is true
a condition is true then Logical NOT
operator will make false.

The Assignment Operators

Operator Description Example

Simple assignment operator. Assigns values from right C=A+B

side operands to left side operand. will assign
=
value of A
+ B into C

Add AND assignment operator. It adds right operand to C += A is

the left operand and assign the result to left operand. equivalent
+=
to C = C
+A

Subtract AND assignment operator. It subtracts right C -= A is

operand from the left operand and assign the result to left equivalent
-=
operand. to C = C
A

Multiply AND assignment operator. It multiplies right C *= A is

operand with the left operand and assign the result to left equivalent
*=
operand. to C = C
*A

Divide AND assignment operator. It divides left operand C /= A is

with the right operand and assign the result to left equivalent
/=
operand. to C = C /
A

Modulus AND assignment operator. It takes modulus C %= A is

using two operands and assign the result to left operand. equivalent
%=
to C = C
%A

C <<= 2
is same
<<= Left shift AND assignment operator.
as C = C
<< 2

C >>= 2
is same
>>= Right shift AND assignment operator.
as C = C
>> 2

C &= 2 is
&= Bitwise AND assignment operator. same as C
=C&2

bitwise exclusive OR and assignment operator. C ^= 2 is

^= same as C
=C^2

bitwise inclusive OR and assignment operator. C |= 2 is

|= same as C
=C|2

Miscellaneous Operators
There are few other operators supported by Java Language.

Conditional Operator ( ? : )
Conditional operator is also known as the ternary operator. This operator
consists of three operands and is used to evaluate Boolean expressions. The
goal of the operator is to decide, which value should be assigned to the
variable. The operator is written as
variable x = (expression) ? value if true : value if false

Q.2.(b) Explain followings in context of java, with the help of examples.

(i) Access specifiers and Inheritance
(ii) Application program and Applet program

A.2.(b) (i) Access specifiers and Inheritance

Access Specifier/Modifier in any language defines the boundaryand scope for
accessing the method, variable and class etc.

Java has defined four types of access specifiers. These are :

1. Public

2. Private

3. Protected

4. Default

If you do not define any access specifier/modifier than java will take default access
specifier as the default for variables/methods/class.

SYNTAX For declaring a class with access specifier :

<access-specifier><class-keyword><class-name>

For e.g.

public class Demo

public access specifier :

If you declare any method/function as the public access specifier than that
variable/method can be used anywhere.
public Access Specifier Example :
package abc;

public class AccessDemo

{

public void test()

{
System.out.println("Example of public access specifier");

 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

}
}
private access specifier :
If you declare any method/variable as private than it will only accessed in the same class
which declare that method/variable as private. The private members cannot access in
the outside world. If any class declared as private than that class will not be inherited. :

private Access Specifier Example :

class AccessDemo
{
private int x = 56;

public void showDemo()

{
System.out.println("The Variable value is " + x);
}

private void testDemo()

{
System.out.println("It cannot be accessed in another class");
}
}

public class AccessExample

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{
AccessDemo ad = new AccessDemo();
ad.testDemo(); // Private method cannot be used

 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

ad.x = 5; // Private variable cannot be used

ad.showDemo(); // run properly

}
}

default access specifier :

If you define any method/variable as default or not give any access specifier than the
method or variable will be accessed in only that package in which they are defined.
They cannot be accessed outside the package.

default Access Specifier Example :

In one package we define the variable default as below code :

package abc;

class AccessDemo
{
default int a = 4;
}

protected access specifier :

It has same properties as that of private access specifier but it can access the
methods/variables in the child class of parent class in which they are declared as
protected.

When we want to use the private members of parent class in the child class then we
declare those variables as protected.

protected Access Specifier Example :

class AccessDemo
{

 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

protected int x = 34;

public void showDemo()

{
System.out.println("The variable value is " + x);
}
}

class ChildAccess extends AccessDemo

{
// child class which inherits
// the properties of AccessDemo class
}

public class AccessExample

{

public static void main(String[] args)

{
ChildAccess ca = new ChildAccess();

ca.showDemo(); // run properly

ca.x = 45; // run properly
}
}

(ii) Application program and Applet program

A.2.(b)(ii)
1.Applications - Java programs that run directly on your machine.

o Applications must have a main().

Course Code : MCS-024 Course Title : Object Oriented Technologies and Java
Assignment Number : MCA(2)/024/Assignment/16-17 http://ignousolvedassignments.com
 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

o Java applications are compiled using the javac command and run using
the java command.
2.Applets - Java programs that can run over the Internet. The standard client/server model
is used when the Applet is executed. The server stores the Java Applet, which is sent to
the client machine running the browser, where the Applet is then run.

o Applets do not require a main(), but in general will have a paint().

o An Applet also requires an HTML file before it can be executed.
o Java Applets are also compiled using the javac command, but are are run either with a
browser or with the appletviewercommand.

Application is a Java class that has a main() method. An applet is a Java class which
extends java.applet.Applet. Generally, application is a stand-alone program, normally
launched from the command line, and which has unrestricted access to the host system.
An applet is a program which is run in the context of an applet viewer or web browser,
and which has strictly limited access to the host system. For instance, an applet can
normally not read or write files on the host system whereas an application normally can.
The actions of both applets and applications can be controlled by SecurityManager
objects.
Applets may communicate with other applets running on the same virtual machine. If the
applets are of the same class, they can communicate via shared static variables. If the
applets are of different classes, then each will need a reference to the same class with
static variables.

Q.3.(a) Create array of objects in a java program and pass it as an argument in a

method.
A.3.(a) As we have already said, arrays are capable of storing objects also. For example,
we can create an array of Strings which is a reference type variable. However, using a
String as a reference type to illustrate the concept of array of objects isn't too appropriate
due to the immutability of String objects. Therefore, for this purpose, we will use a class
Student containing a single instance variable marks. Following is the definition of this
class.
class Student {
int marks;
}

An array of objects is created just like an array of primitive type data items in the following
way.
Student[] studentArray = new Student[7];

Course Code : MCS-024 Course Title : Object Oriented Technologies and Java
Assignment Number : MCA(2)/024/Assignment/16-17 http://ignousolvedassignments.com
 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

For instance, the following statement throws a NullPointerException during runtime which
indicates that studentArray[0] isn't yet pointing to a Student object.
studentArray[0].marks = 100;

The Student objects have to be instantiated using the constructor of the Student class and
their references should be assigned to the array elements in the following way.
studentArray[0] = new Student();

In this way, we create the other Student objects also. If each of the Student objects have
to be created using a different constructor, we use a statement similar to the above several
times. However, in this particular case, we may use a for loop since all Student objects
are created with the same default constructor.
for ( int i=0; i<studentArray.length; i++) {
studentArray[i]=new Student();
}

The above for loop creates seven Student objects and assigns their reference to the array
elements. Now, a statement like the following would be valid.
studentArray[0].marks=100;
Enhanced for loops find a better application here as we not only get the Student object
but also we are capable of modifying it.
for ( Student x : studentArray ) {
x.marks = s.nextInt(); // s is a Scanner object
}

Following illustrates this concept.

public static void main(String[] args) {
Student[] studentArray = new Student[7];
studentArray[0] = new Student();
studentArray[0].marks = 99;
System.out.println(studentArray[0].marks); // prints 99
modify(studentArray[0]);
System.out.println(studentArray[0].marks); // prints 100 and not 99
// code
}
public static void modify(Student s) {
s.marks = 100;
}

Final Keyword In Java

The final keyword in java is used to restrict the user. The java final keyword can be used
in many context. Final can be:

1. variable
2. method
3. class
The final keyword can be applied with the variables, a final variable that have no value it
is called blank final variable or uninitialized final variable. It can be initialized in the
constructor only. The blank final variable can be static also which will be initialized in the
static block only. We will have detailed learning of these. Let's first learn the basics of final
keyword.

1) Java final variable

If you make any variable as final, you cannot change the value of final variable(It will be
constant).

Example of final variable

There is a final variable speedlimit, we are going to change the value of this variable, but
It can't be changed because final variable once assigned a value can never be changed.

class Bike9{

final int speedlimit=90;//final variable

void run(){

speedlimit=400;

public static void main(String args[]){

Bike9 obj=new Bike9();

Q.4.(a) What is polymorphism? It provides flexibility in application development? Yes

or No? Justify your answer with the help of an example.
A.4.(a) Polymorphism:-

Poly = many: polygon = many-sided, polystyrene = many styrenes , polyglot = (a)

many languages, and so on.

Morph = change or form: morphology = study of biological form, Morpheus = the
Greek god of dreams able to take any form.
So polymorphism is the ability (in programming) to present the same interface for
differing underlying forms (data types).

Course Code : MCS-024 Course Title : Object Oriented Technologies and Java
Assignment Number : MCA(2)/024/Assignment/16-17 http://ignousolvedassignments.com
 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

For example, integers and floats are implicitly polymorphic since you can add, subtract,
multiply and so on, irrespective of the fact that the types are different. They're rarely
considered as objects in the usual term.
But, in that same way, a class like BigDecimal or Rational or Imaginary can also provide
those operations, even though they operate on different data types.
The classic example is the Shape class and all the classes that can inherit from it
(square, circle, dodecahedron, irregular polygon, splat and so on).
With polymorphism, each of these classes will have different underlying data. A point
shape needs only two co-ordinates (assuming it's in a two-dimensional space of course).
A circle needs a center and radius. A square or rectangle needs two co-ordinates for the
top left and bottom right corners and (possibly) a rotation. An irregular polygon needs a
series of lines.
Yes, It provides flexibility in application development. We can understand with the helpof an
Example:-
Java has excellent support of polymorphism in terms of Inheritance, method
overloading and method overriding. Method overriding allows Java to invoke
method based on a particular object at run-time instead of declared type while coding.
To get hold of concept let's see an example of polymorphism in Java:

public class TradingSystem{

public String getDescription(){
return "electronic trading system";
}
}

public class DirectMarketAccessSystem extends TradingSystem{

public String getDescription(){
return "direct market access system";
}
}

public class CommodityTradingSystem extends TradingSystem{

public String getDescription(){
return "Futures trading system";
}
}

With polymorphism, each of these classes will have different underlying data. A point
shape needs only two co-ordinates (assuming it's in a two-dimensional space of course).
A circle needs a center and radius. A square or rectangle needs two co-ordinates for the
top left and bottom right corners and (possibly) a rotation. An irregular polygon needs a
series of lines.
By making the class responsible for its code as well as its data, you can achieve
polymorphism. In this example, every class would have its own Draw() function and the
client code could simply do:
shape.Draw()
Q.4.(b) Explain the need of package in Java. Explain accessibility rules for package.
Also explain how members of a package are imported. Write java program to create
your own package for finding area of different shapes.

A.4.(b) Package:-

A java package is a group of similar types of classes, interfaces and sub-packages.

Package in java can be categorized in two form, built-in package and user-defined
package.
There are many built-in packages such as java, lang, awt, javax, swing, net, io, util, sql
etc.
Here, we will have the detailed learning of creating and using user-defined packages.

Advantage of Java Package

1) Java package is used to categorize the classes and interfaces so that they can be easily
maintained.
2) Java package provides access protection.
3) Java package removes naming collision.

Q.5.(a) What is abstract class? Explain need of abstract class with the help of an
example.
A.5.(a) A class that is declared with abstract keyword, is known as abstract class in java.
It can have abstract and non-abstract methods (method with body).

Before learning java abstract class, let's understand the abstraction in java first.

Abstraction is a process of hiding the implementation details and showing only

functionality to the user.

Another way, it shows only important things to the user and hides the internal details for
example sending sms, you just type the text and send the message. You don't know the
internal processing about the message delivery.

Abstraction lets you focus on what the object does instead of how it does it.

Ways to achieve Abstraction

There are two ways to achieve abstraction in java

1. Abstract class (0 to 100%)

2. Interface (100%)

A class that is declared as abstract is known as abstract class. It needs to be extended

and its method implemented. It cannot be instantiated.

Example abstract class

abstract class A{}

Abstract method

A method that is declared as abstract and does not have implementation is known as
abstract method.

Example abstract method

abstract void printStatus(); //no body and abstract

Example of abstract class that has abstract method

In this example, Bike the abstract class that contains only one abstract method run. It
implementation is provided by the Honda class.

abstract class Bike{

abstract void run();

}
class Honda4 extends Bike{
void run(){System.out.println("running safely..");}
public static void main(String args[]){
Bike obj = new Honda4();
obj.run();

Q.5.(b) What is an exception? Explain haw an exceptions are handled in Java.

Write a java program to handle different arithmetic exceptions while managing a medical store
billing process.

A.5.(b)
An exception (or exceptional event) is a problem that arises during the execution of a program. When
an Exception occurs the normal flow of the program is disrupted and the program/Application
terminates abnormally, which is not recommended, therefore, these exceptions are to be handled.
An exception can occur for many different reasons. Following are some scenarios where
an exception occurs.
A user has entered an invalid data.
A file that needs to be opened cannot be found.
A network connection has been lost in the middle of communications or the JVM
has run out of memory.
Some of these exceptions are caused by user error, others by programmer error,
and others by physical resources that have failed in some manner.
Based on these, we have three categories of Exceptions. You need to understand them
to know how exception handling works in Java.
Checked exceptions A checked exception is an exception that occurs at the
compile time, these are also called as compile time exceptions. These exceptions cannot
simply be ignored at the time of compilation, the programmer should take care of (handle)
these exceptions.
For example, if you use FileReader class in your program to read data from a file, if the
file specified in its constructor doesn't exist, then a FileNotFoundException occurs, and
the compiler prompts the programmer to handle the exception.

The runtime system searches the call stack for a method that contains a block of code that
can handle the exception. This block of code is called an exception handler.

Q.6.(a) What is I/O stream in java? Write a program in java to create a file and count
the number of words in it.

A.6.(a)

The java.io package contains nearly every class you might ever need to perform input
and output (I/O) in Java. All these streams represent an input source and an output
destination. The stream in the java.io package supports many data such as primitives,
object, localized characters, etc.

Stream
A stream can be defined as a sequence of data. There are two kinds of Streams

InPutStream The InputStream is used to read data from a source.

OutPutStream The OutputStream is used for writing data to a destination.

Java provides strong but flexible support for I/O related to files and networks but this
tutorial covers very basic functionality related to streams and I/O. We will see the most
commonly used examples one by one

Byte Streams
Java byte streams are used to perform input and output of 8-bit bytes. Though there are
many classes related to byte streams but the most frequently used classes
are, FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

Character Streams
Java Byte streams are used to perform input and output of 8-bit bytes, whereas
Java Character streams are used to perform input and output for 16-bit unicode. Though
there are many classes related to character streams but the most frequently used classes
are, FileReader and FileWriter. Though internally FileReader uses FileInputStream and
FileWriter uses FileOutputStream but here the major difference is that FileReader reads
two bytes at a time and FileWriter writes two bytes at a time.

Q.6.(c) Write and explain different constructors of String class.

A.6.(c)

Constructor in Java
Java constructor is invoked at the time of object creation. It constructs the values i.e.
provides data for the object that is why it is known as constructor.Constructor in java is
a special type of method that is used to initialize the object.

Rules for creating java constructor

There are basically two rules defined for the constructor.

1. Constructor name must be same as its class name

2. Constructor must have no explicit return type
String is nothing but a sequence of characters, for e.g. Hello is a string of 5 characters.
In java, string is an immutable object which means it is constant and can cannot be
changed once it has been created. In this tutorial we will learn about String class and
String methods in detail along with many other Java String tutorials.
Creating a String

There are two ways to create a String in Java

1. String literal
2. Using new keyword
String literal

In java, Strings can be created like this: Assigning a String literal to a String instance:

 IGNOU Solved Assignments By http://ignousolvedassignments.com

String str1 = "Welcome";

String str2 = "Welcome";
The problem with this approach: As I stated in the beginning that String is an object in
Java. However we have not created any string object using new keyword above. The
compiler does that task for us it creates a string object having the string literal (that we
have provided , in this case it is Welcome) and assigns it to the provided string instances.
Using New Keyword
As we saw above that when we tried to assign the same string object to two different
literals, compiler only created one object and made both of the literals to point the same
object. To overcome that approach we can create strings like this.
String str1 = new String("Welcome");
String str2 = new String("Welcome");
Class constructors: -

1. String()

This initializes a newly created String object so that it represents an empty character
sequence.

2
String(byte[] bytes)

This constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the platform's
default char set.

3
String(byte[] bytes, Charset charset)

This constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the specified
charset.

4
String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length)

This constructs a new String by decoding the specified subarray of bytes using the

5
String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length, Charset charset)

This constructs a new String by decoding the specified subarray of bytes using the
specified charset.

6
String(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length, String charsetName)

This constructs a new String by decoding the specified subarray of bytes using the
specified charset.

7
String(byte[] bytes, String charsetName)

This constructs a new String by decoding the specified array of bytes using the specified
charset.

8
String(char[] value)

This allocates a new String so that it represents the sequence of characters currently
contained in the character array argument.

9
String(char[] value, int offset, int count)

This allocates a new String that contains characters from a subarray of the character array
argument.

characters as the argument; in other words, the newly created string is a copy of the
argument string.

Q.7.(a) What is layout manager? Explain different layouts available in java for GUI
programming. What is default layout of an Applet? Explain how to set the layout of an
applet.
A.7.(a)
The LayoutManagers are used to arrange components in a particular manner.
LayoutManager is an interface that is implemented by all the classes of layout managers.
There are following classes that represents the layout managers:

1. java.awt.BorderLayout
2. java.awt.FlowLayout
3. java.awt.GridLayout
4. java.awt.CardLayout
5. java.awt.GridBagLayout

6. javax.swing.BoxLayout
7. javax.swing.GroupLayout
8. javax.swing.ScrollPaneLayout
9. javax.swing.SpringLayout etc.
BorderLayout
A BorderLayout places one component in the center of a
container. The central component is surrounded by up to four
other components that border it to the "North", "South", "East",
and "West", as shown in the diagram at the right. Each of the
four bordering components is optional. The layout manager
first allocates space to the bordering components. Any space
that is left over goes to the center component.

Flow Layout
A FlowLayout simply lines up its components without trying to be particularly neat about
it. After laying out as many items as will fit in a row across the container, it will move on to
the next row. The components in a given row can be either left-aligned, right-aligned, or
centered, and there can be horizontal and vertical gaps. If the default constructor, "new
FlowLayout()" is used, then the components on each row will be centered and the
horizontal and vertical gaps will be five pixels. The constructor
FlowLayout(int align, int hgap, int vgap)

Grid Layout
A GridLayout lays out components in a grid of equal sized rectangles. The illustration
shows how the components would be arranged in a grid layout with 3 rows and 2 columns.
If a container uses a GridLayout, the appropriate add method takes a single parameter of
type Component (for example: add(myButton)). Components are added to the grid in the
order shown; that is, each row is filled from left to right before going on the next row.
The constructor for a GridLayout with R rows and C columns takes the
form GridLayout(R,C). If you want to leave horizontal gaps of H pixels between columns
and vertical gaps of V pixels between rows, use GridLayout(R,C,H,V) instead.

GridBagLayout
A GridBagLayout is similar to a GridLayout in that the container is broken down into rows
and columns of rectangles. However, a GridBagLayout is much more sophisticated
because the rows do not all have to be of the same height, the columns do not all have to
be of the same width, and a component in the container can spread over several rows and

several columns. There is a separate class, GridBagConstraints, that is used to specify

the position of a component, the number of rows and columns that it occupies, and several
additional properties of the component.
Using a GridBagLayout is rather complicated. I will not explain it here; if you are interested,
you should consult a Java reference.

CardLayout
CardLayouts differ from other layout managers in that in a container that uses
a CardLayout, only one of its components is visible at any given time. Think of the
components as a set of "cards". Only one card is visible at a time, but you can flip from
one card to another. Methods are provided in the CardLayout class for flipping to the first
card, to the last card, and to the next card in the deck. A name can be specified for each
card as it is added to the container, and there is a method in the CardLayout class for
flipping directly to the card with a specified name. (The container object has to be passed
as a parameter to each of these methods.)

Q.7.(b)What is multithreading? Explain how threads are synchronized in java.

A.7.(b) Multithreading and Thread Synchronization
Multithreaded programs are similar to the single-threaded programs that you have been
studying. They differ only in the fact that they support more than one concurrent thread of
execution-that is, they are able to simultaneously execute multiple sequences of
instructions. Each instruction sequence has its own unique flow of control that is
independent of all others. These independently executed instruction sequences are
known as threads.

If your computer has only a single CPU, you might be wondering how it can execute more
than one thread at the same time. In single-processor systems, only a single thread of
execution occurs at a given instant. The CPU quickly switches back and forth between
several threads to create the illusion that the threads are executing at the same time.
Single-processor systems support logical concurrency, not physical concurrency. Logical
concurrency is the characteristic exhibited when multiple threads execute with separate,
independent flows of control. On multiprocessor systems, several threads do, in fact,
execute at the same time, and physical concurrency is achieved. The important feature of
multithreaded programs is that they support logical concurrency, not whether physical
concurrency is actually achieved.

Many programming languages support multiprogramming. Multiprogramming is the

logically concurrent execution of multiple programs. For example, a program can request
that the operating system execute programs A, B, and C by having it spawn a separate
process for each program. These programs can run in parallel, depending upon the
multiprogramming features supported by the underlying operating system. Multithreading
differs from multiprogramming in that multithreading provides concurrency within the
context of a single process and multiprogramming provides concurrency between
processes. Threads are not complete processes in and of themselves. They are a
separate flow of control that occurs within a process. Figure illustrates the difference
between multithreading and multiprogramming.

using JDBC.
A.7.(c) JDBC stands for Java Database Connectivity, which is a standard Java API for
database-independent connectivity between the Java programming language and a wide
range of databases.

The JDBC library includes APIs for each of the tasks mentioned below that are commonly
associated with database usage.
Making a connection to a database.
Creating SQL or MySQL statements.
Executing SQL or MySQL queries in the database.
Viewing & Modifying the resulting records.

Fundamentally, JDBC is a specification that provides a complete set of interfaces that

allows for portable access to an underlying database. Java can be used to write different
types of executables, such as
Java Applications
Java Applets
Java Servlets
Java ServerPages (JSPs)
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs).
All of these different executables are able to use a JDBC driver to access a
database, and take advantage of the stored data.
JDBC provides the same capabilities as ODBC, allowing Java programs to contain
database-independent code.

5 Steps to connect to the database in java

There are 5 steps to connect any java application with the database in java using JDBC.
They are as follows:

o Register the driver class

o Creating connection
o Creating statement
o Executing queries
o Closing connection
1) Register the driver class

The forName() method of Class class is used to register the driver class. This method is
used to dynamically load the driver class.

Syntax of forName() method

public static void forName(String className)throws ClassNotFoundException

Example to register the OracleDriver class

Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");

2)Create the connection object

The getConnection() method of DriverManager class is used to establish connection with

the database.

Syntax of getConnection() method

1) public static Connection getConnection(String url)throws SQLException

2) public static Connection getConnection(String url,String name,String password)

throws SQLException

Example to establish connection with the Oracle database

Connection con=DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:xe","system","password");

3) Create the Statement object

The createStatement() method of Connection interface is used to create statement. The

object of statement is responsible to execute queries with the database.

Syntax of createStatement() method

public Statement createStatement()throws SQLException

Example to create the statement object

Statement stmt=con.createStatement();

4) Execute the query

The executeQuery() method of Statement interface is used to execute queries to the

database. This method returns the object of ResultSet that can be used to get all the
records of a table.

public ResultSet executeQuery(String sql)throws SQLException

Example to execute query

ResultSet rs=stmt.executeQuery("select * from emp");

while(rs.next()){
System.out.println(rs.getInt(1)+" "+rs.getString(2));
}

5) Close the connection object

By closing connection object statement and ResultSet will be closed automatically. The
close() method of Connection interface is used to close the connection.

Syntax of close() method

public void close()throws SQLException

Example to close connection

con.close();

Q.8.(a) What is socket? Explain stream sockets and datagram sockets.

A.8.(a) Definition: A socket is one end-point of a two-way communication link between
two programs running on the network.

A server application normally listens to a specific port waiting for connection requests from
a client. When a connection request arrives, the client and the server establish a dedicated
connection over which they can communicate. During the connection process, the client
is assigned a local port number, and binds a socket to it. The client talks to the server by
writing to the socket and gets information from the server by reading from it. Similarly, the

server gets a new local port number (it needs a new port number so that it can continue
to listen for connection requests on the original port). The server also binds a socket to its
local port and communicates with the client by reading from and writing to it.
The client and the server must agree on a protocol--that is, they must agree on the
language of the information transferred back and forth through the socket.

Stream Socket:
A dedicated point-to-point channel between a client and server.
Use TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) for data transmission.
Lossless and reliable.
Sent and received in the same order.
Datagram Socket:
No dedicated point-to-point channel between a client and server.
Use UDP (User Datagram Protocol) for data transmission.
May lose data and not 100% reliable.
Data may not received in the same order as sent.
Q.8.(b)What is RMI? Explain RMI architecture.
A.8.(b)

RMI (Remote Method Invocation)

The RMI provides remote communication between the applications using two
objects stub and skeleton.The RMI (Remote Method Invocation) is an API that provides a
mechanism to create distributed application in java. The RMI allows an object to invoke
methods on an object running in another JVM.

Understanding stub and skeleton

RMI uses stub and skeleton object for communication with the remote object.
A remote object is an object whose method can be invoked from another JVM. Let's
understand the stub and skeleton objects:

stub
The stub is an object, acts as a gateway for the client side. All the outgoing requests are
routed through it. It resides at the client side and represents the remote object. When the
caller invokes method on the stub object, it does the following tasks:

1. It initiates a connection with remote Virtual Machine (JVM),

2. It writes and transmits (marshals) the parameters to the remote Virtual
Machine (JVM),
3. It waits for the result
4. It reads (unmarshals) the return value or exception, and
5. It finally, returns the value to the caller.
skeleton
The skeleton is an object, acts as a gateway for the server side object. All the incoming
requests are routed through it. When the skeleton receives the incoming request, it does
the following tasks:

1. It reads the parameter for the remote method

2. It invokes the method on the actual remote object, and
3. It writes and transmits (marshals) the result to the caller.
In the Java 2 SDK, an stub protocol was introduced that eliminates the need for skeletons.

Q.8.(c) What is servlet ? Explain servlet life cycle.

A.8.(c) Servlet life cycle can be defined as the entire process from its creation till the
destruction. The following are the paths followed by a servlet
The servlet is initialized by calling the init () method.
The servlet calls service() method to process a client's request.
The servlet is terminated by calling the destroy() method.
Finally, servlet is garbage collected by the garbage collector of the JVM.

The init() method :

The init method is designed to be called only once. It is called when the servlet is first
created, and not called again for each user request. So, it is used for one-time
initializations, just as with the init method of applets.

The servlet is normally created when a user first invokes a URL corresponding to the
servlet, but you can also specify that the servlet be loaded when the server is first started.

The service() method :

The service() method is the main method to perform the actual task. The servlet container
(i.e. web server) calls the service() method to handle requests coming from the client(
browsers) and to write the formatted response back to the client.

Each time the server receives a request for a servlet, the server spawns a new thread and
calls service. The service() method checks the HTTP request type (GET, POST, PUT,
DELETE, etc.) and calls doGet, doPost, doPut, doDelete, etc. methods as appropriate.

The doGet() Method

A GET request results from a normal request for a URL or from an HTML form that has
no METHOD specified and it should be handled by doGet() method.

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,

HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
// Servlet code
}

The doPost() Method

A POST request results from an HTML form that specifically lists POST as the METHOD
and it should be handled by doPost() method.

public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,

HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
// Servlet code
}

The destroy() method :

The destroy() method is called only once at the end of the life cycle of a servlet. This
method gives your servlet a chance to close database connections, halt background
threads, write cookie lists or hit counts to disk, and perform other such cleanup activities.

After the destroy() method is called, the servlet object is marked for garbage collection.
The destroy method definition looks like this:

public void destroy() {

// Finalization code...
}

Architecture Digram:
The following figure depicts a typical servlet life-cycle scenario.

o First the HTTP requests coming to the server are delegated to the servlet container.

o The servlet container loads the servlet before invoking the service() method.

o Then the servlet container handles multiple requests by spawning multiple threads,
each thread executing the service() method of a single instance of the servlet.
