LAB-2 [Class Design Basics - Part 1]
1. How to read user inputs in a typical java application?
1.1. Use BufferedReader class (See Example1.java and Exercise1.java)
1.2. Use Scanner class (See Example2.java and Exercise2.java)
2. How to design a simple class with proper Attribute(s) and Method(s).

Blue colored lines are to be added to your code for reading

user input from the keyboard they will be explained later,
for the purpose of this lab just remember to add these lines.

1. How to read user inputs in a typical java application?

There are two ways how you can read user inputs from the keyboard (referred by stdin in
C and System.in in Java). First method is by using the instance of BufferedReader class
and the second method is by using the instance of Scanner class.

1.1 Using BufferedReader for text based user input from the keyboard - Type the
following code in Example1.java and save it in D:\Your ID.

import java.io.*; // java.io package is imported

// for using BufferedReader class
class Example1 {

public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{

/* instantiate InputStreamReader class and pass
System.in to its constructor */
InputStreamReader isr =
new InputStreamReader(System.in);
/* instantiate BufferedReader class and pass the
reference variable isr which id of type
InputStreamReader created in the previous line to the
constructor of BufferedReader */

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr) ;

System.out.println("Enter Your First Name: ");

/* call readLine method on br reference variable which

is of type BufferedReader */

CS F213 (Lab 2) Page. 1

 String name = br.readLine();
System.out.println("Your name is: " + name);
} // End of main
}// End of class Example1

Compile the above code. [Note down what happens during compilation].

Exercise1: Write a program in java to take 10 integer numbers as user input using
the BufferedReader and print the sum of these numbers [name the file as
Exercise1.java].

[CAREFUL: when reading input with BufferedReader, the input is always read as
String, therefore you are required to parse the input to its correct type. In this
Exercise use Integer.parseInt() method]

1.2 Using the Scanner class for text based user input from the keyboard - Type the
following code in Example2.java and save it in D:\Your ID.

import java.util.Scanner;
class Example2 {
public static void main(String args[]){
//variable declaration
int num1;
double double1;
String numStr1, numStr2;

/* instantiate scanner class by passing System.in

to its constructor */
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

System.out.println("Enter an integer: ");

num1 = in.nextInt(); //reads an int from keyboard
System.out.println("You entered: " + num1);

System.out.println("Enter a double: ");

double1=in.nextDouble();//reads an int from keyboard
System.out.println("You entered: " + double1);

System.out.println("Enter your first name ");

numStr1 = in.next();
System.out.println("Your name is " + numStr1);
in.nextLine(); //to consume enter
System.out.println("Enter your surname");
numStr2 = in.nextLine();
System.out.println("Your surname is " + numStr2);
in.close();

 }// End of main() method
}// End of class Example2

Compile and run the above code and observe the output?
Exercise2: Write the program description given in Exercise1 in java using the Scanner
class [name the file as Exercise2.java]

2. Class Design Basics

2.1 Write java implementation for a class named ‘Item’ which encapsulates the details
of items to be purchased by the customer of the XYZ shop. The class Item is described
as follows:

Attributes description:
a) itemName: String [Name of the ordered Item of the Customer]
b) itemidNo: String [unique identification number of the ordered Item of the Customer]
c) itemQuantity: int [quantity of the ordered Item of the Customer]
d) itemPrice: double [price of the ordered Item of the Customer]

Methods description:
The class supplies the methods(s) as per the following specification:
a) Any Item instance can be created either by supplying the value for all the instance fields
in the order of itemName, itemidNo, itemQuantity and itemPrice OR by supplying the
value for itemName, itemidNo and itemQuantity fields only OR by supplying the
value for itemName, and itemidNo fields only . If an Item instance is created by
providing the value for itemName, itemidNo and itemQuantity fields only then value
for itemPrice is by default initialized to 500. If an Item instance is created by providing
the value for itemName and itemidNo fields only then value for itemPrice is by default
initialized to 500 and value for itemQuantity is by default initialized to 1.
b) Accessor and mutator methods are provided for every instance field.
c) All instance field(s) have a private visibility and all methods have a public visibility.

2.2 Write the java implementation for a class named ‘Customer’ which encapsulates
the details of registered customers of the XYZ shop who buy Items (class is described
above in 2.1) online. The class Customer is described as follows:

Attributes description:
a) name:String [ Name of the Customer]
b) idNo:String [unique identification number of the Customer]
c) balance:double [balance amount of the Customer]
d) item: Item [item purchased by the Customer]

Methods description:
The class supplies the methods(s) as per the following specification:
a) Any Customer instance can be created either by supplying the value for all the instance
fields in the order of name, idNo and balance OR by supplying the value for name

CS F213 (Lab 2) Page. 3

 and idNo fields only. If an Customer instance is created by providing the value for
name and idNo fields only then value for balance is by default initialized to 5000.
b) Accessor methods(s) are provided for every instance field.
c) Mutator methods(s) are provided for the instance field name and idNo.
d) Method print() to print the details of item (itemName, itemidNo, iemQuantity and
itemPrice) purchased by the customer and balance amount of the customer after
purchasing the item.
e) A method named buyItem(Item item) is supplied. This operation displays details of the
item bought and the current balance, if the customer has sufficient balance and the
quantity specified by the user is greater than or equal to one. If the customer don’t have
the sufficient balance, this method displays the message “Insufficient balance” .If the
quantity specified by the user is less than one, this method displays the message “Order
is not valid”.
f) All the field(s) have private visibility and all methods have a public visibility.

2.3 Write a Test class named TestStore.java which

a) Creates one Customer instance. [Take input from the user [using Scanner object] for
name, idNo and balance fields]
b) Creates any two Item instances. [Take input from the user [using Scanner object] for
itemName, itemidNo, iemQuantity and itemPrice fields]
c) Display the details of the Items ordered by the customer and customer balance after
order.

Note: Assume only one item (any number of quantities) can be ordered at a time by
the customer.

Exercises3: Write the java implementation for a class named ‘TaxOnSalary’ to

calculate tax on salary. The class TaxOnSalary is described as follows:

Attributes:
(i) salary: double // salary to calculate tax
(ii) isPANsubmitted: boolean // PAN submission status

Methods:
The class supplies the operation(s) as per the following specification:
(i) A TaxOnSalary instance can be created either by supplying the value for the
instance field isPANsubmitted OR without supplying value for any field. If
TaxOnSalary instance is created by providing the value for isPANsubmitted then
the value for salary is initialized with 1000.00 however it can be reinitialized
through the method inputSalary()[which is described below] . If TaxOnSalary
instance is created without supplying value for any field, then value for salary and
isPANsubmitted is by default initialized to 0.0 and false respectively.
(ii) Accessor methods(s) are provided for every instance field.
(iii) A method for computing the tax based on salary [caculateTax() : double] is
supplied. The tax is calculated as per the rules shown below:
a. if salary < 180000 and isPANsubmitted = true, then tax payable is zero

CS F213 (Lab 2) Page. 4

 b. if salary < 180000 and isPANsubmitted = false, then tax payable is 5% of the
salary
c. if 180000 < salary < 500000, then tax payable is 10% of the salary
d. if 500000 < salary < 1000000, then tax payable is 20% of the salary
e. if 1000000 < salary, then tax payable is 30% of the salary
(iv) A method named inputSalary() is supplied to read the value for the salary as an
input from the user [consider reading this value from keyboard] and to assign
the value to the corresponding instance variable salary.

3.3 Write a Test class named TestTax.java which

a) Creates two instances of tax1 and tax2 of the class TaxOnSalary with different
initializations [see point (i) in the description of Methods].
b) Takes salary as an input from the user [using keyboard] for both the instances tax1 and
tax2.
c) Calculate and display tax for both the instance tax1 and tax2.

Exercise 4:
A. Define a class Car which encapsulates following attributes and methods
Attributes: private scope
 year - The year field is an int that holds a car's year model (e.g. 2010)
 make - The make field is a String object that holds the make of the car (e.g. "TATA")
 speed - The speed field is an double that holds a car's current speed (e.g. 25.0)

Constructor: Default scope

The constructor should accept the car's year, make, and beginning speed as arguments
/* These values should be used to initialize the Car's year, make, and speed fields */
Methods: public scope
 getYear()
 getMake() // These methods return the values stored in an object's fields.
 getSpeed()

 Accelerate()
/* This method adds 1 to the speed attribute each time it is called. For example: if the car
was going 3 mph, accelerate would set the speed to 4 mph */
 Accelerate(int increment)
/* This method adds the increment into current speed.
 Break(int b)
/* This method decrements the current speed by square root of b. For example: if the car
was going 30 mph, break is called with 4 then speed would set the speed to 28 mph */
B. Define a RaceTrack class that has main method do the following activities.
 Create a new Car object (using the Car constructor method), passing in the year, make,
and speed.
 Display the current status of the car object using the getter methods getYear(), getMake(),
and getSpeed()
 Call the car's Accelerate method and then re-display the car's speed using getSpeed()
 Call the car's Accelerate(10) method and then re-display the car's speed using getSpeed().

CS F213 (Lab 2) Page. 5

 Call the car's break method by passing some value and then re-display the car's speed
using getSpeed()
 Now, create a new Car object without passing arguments. Compile and observe the
output.
