Session Name Assignment Details

Introduction to Classes and Members Part-I: Assignment-I

 Create a new Class Customer

 Create 2 Class Members - custId and
custName
 Add new method print()
 Create instance of the class and
invoke print method

Assignment-II

 Create total 4 member variables for

Customer class
 Assign public, private, protected and
default access modifiers respectively
to these variables
 Try to access these variable from
other classes

Introduction to Classes and Members Part-II Assignment-I

 Define a static variable custCount.

This contains total count of customers
 Create 2 instances of Customer object
 Increment the custCount static
variable and print its value after every
increment
 Access custCount using class name as
well as object name

Assignment-II

 Define a final variable

MAXPHONES. This contains
maximum allowable phones for a
customer
 Initialize MAXPHONES
 Try to initialize in the constructor

 Access it using class name and object

name
Introduction to Methods Assignment-I
  Define a getter method for empId
variable of Employee class
 Define setter method for empID
variable taking int parameter
 Define a print method which prints
the empID

Assignment-II

 Define a static variable empCount for

Employee class
 Define a static method to increment
the empCount variable
 Invoke increment() method using
class name
 Invoke increment() method using
object name

Assignment-III

 Define a print method with variable

length argument list of type String

 Print the contents of the argument list

using for loop
Constructors Assignment-I

 Create Employee class

 Create instance of Employee class
using default constructor. Does it
execute?
 Now define default constructor, print
a message inside it and execute the
program
 Try to add one more constructor
taking empID and empName as
parameters. Create another object of
Employee using this second
constructor. Does the program
execute?
 Remove the default constructor
definition. Does the program execute?

Assignment-II

 Define a private constructor for

Employee class
 Define a protected constructor for
Employee class
  Invoke both private and protected
constructors from the main method.
Does the program execute?
 Invoke both private and protected
constructors from the subclass say
ContractEmp. Does the program
execute?

 Remove the public constructor for

Employee class. How will another
class create instance of Employee
class?
Inheritance Part-I Assignment-I

 Create a subclass Contractor for base

class Employee
 Define a constructor for Contractor.
Can you initialize all variables
defined in the base class?
 Create instance of subclass
Contractor. Are base class
constructors accessible?
 Invoke Contractor's constructor.
Which all constructors are getting
invoked?

 Define a variable in Contractor

matching its definition in the base
class Employee. Is that allowed?
Inheritance Part-II Assignment-I

 Implement equals method in

Employee class
 Validate that the parameter to equals
method is instance of Employee
 Perform comparison on empName

 Test that equals method returns true

for two different objects having same
empName
Polymorphism Part-I Assignment-I

 Create base class Customer and

subclasses SilverCustomer and
GoldCustomer
 Define discount() method in
Customer class whcih returns 20%
discount
 Overload discount method in the
subclasses and return different
 discount value
 Define base class variable as
"Customer cust"
 Assign different objects of Customer,
SilverCustomer and GoldCustomer to
variable cust one after other and
invoke discount method each time.
What is the discount % returned each
time?

Assignment-II

 In the earlier assignment, how will

you access the discount() method of
Customer class from SilverCustomer
and GoldCustomer classes?
Polymorphism Part-II Assignment-I

 Continue earlier assignment in

Polymorphism Part-I
 Define another discount method in
Customer class taking String location
as parameter. Can it be invoked?
 Can this method be invoked from
SilverCustomer or GoldCustomer
classes?
 Try to overload this discount(String)
method in SilverCustomer class. Try
to invoke it. Does the program run?

Assignment-II

 Continue earlier assignment

 Define a new method getCustomer.
This should return instance of
Customer or SilverCustomer or
GoldCustomer class randomly.
 Main method will call getCustomer
and then invoke the discount()
method on the object received.
Execute and observe the results.
 Now create a new PlatinumCustomer
class extending Customer class.
Implement discount() method in this
class

 How do you invoke discount method

of PlatinumCustomer class without
 changing main method?
Abstract Classes Assignment-I

 Create abstract class Car

 Define an abstract method ignition()
 Define a non-abstract/normal method
changeGear(). Is this allowed?
 Create concrete classe Sedan.
Overload ignition methods
 Create instance of Sedan and invoke
ignition() and changeGear() methods.
Does the program execute?
 Define a variable noOfWheels in Car
class. Can it be accessed in Sedan
class?

Assignment-II

 Continue earlier assignment

 Create an abstract class SUV
extending Car class. Do you need to
implement all abstract methods of Car
class here?
 Define method 4WheelDrive() in
SUV class

 Create a concrete class Safari

extending SUV class. Which methods
must be implemented here?
Interfaces Assignment-I

 Create a new interface to develop a

simple Calculator
 Define two methods sum and divide
in the interface. Can you implement
the methods inside the interface?
 Create a new class which implements
above interface. Do you need to
implement both the methods here?
 Define a variable inside calculator
interface? Can it be invoked from
calculator implementation?
 Now define one more interface
ScientificCalculator and add couple
of methods
 Can you implementation class
implement this new interface as well?
 Try it.

Assignment-II

 Continue earlier assignment

 Define a variable whose type is an
interface for the calculator
 Assign an object of calculator
implementation

 Invoke methods defined by the

interface using the interface reference.
Does the program execute?
