CS6511 -COMPUTER NETWORKS QUESTION BANK

TWO MARK QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS

UNIT 1
1. What are the three criteria necessary for an effective and efficient network?
The most important criteria are performance, reliability and security. Performance of the network depends
on number of users, type of transmission medium, the capabilities of the connected h/w and the efficiency of
the s/w. Reliability is measured by frequency of failure, the time it takes a link to recover from the failure and
the network’s robustness in a catastrophe. Security issues include protecting data from unauthorized access
and viruses.

2. Group the OSI layers by function.

The seven layers of the OSI model belonging to three subgroups. Network support layers: Consisting of
Physical, data link and network layers and they deal with the physical aspects of moving data from one device
to another. User support layers: Consists of Session, presentation and application layers and they allow
interoperability among unrelated software systems. The transport layer ensures end-to-end reliable data
transmission

3. What are the features provided by layering?

 It decomposes the problem of building a network into more manageable components. Rather than
implementing a monolithic piece of software that does everything implement several layers, each of
which solves one part of the problem.
 It provides more modular design. To add some new service, it is enough to modify the functionality
at one layer, reusing the functions provided at all the other layers.

4. What are the two interfaces provided by protocols?

 Service interface
 Peer interface
 Service interface-defines the operations that local objects can perform on the protocol.
 Peer interface-defines the form and meaning of messages exchanged between protocol peers
to implement the communication service.

5. What is LAN?
A LAN is a common name used to describe a group of devices that share a geographic location. LAN is
limited to single building or campus.

6. What is flow Control?

Flow control refers to a set of procedures used to restrict the amount of data. The sender can send before
waiting for acknowledgment.

7. Define Error detection and correction.

Error Detection:
Data can be corrupted during transmission. It is called as an error. For reliable communication, the
receiver must find out the errors occurred in the data which is called as error detection.
Error Correction:
It is the mechanism to correct the errors and it can be handled in 2 ways.
a) When an error is discovered, the receiver can have the sender retransmit the entire data unit.
b) A receiver can use an error correcting coder, which automatically corrects certain error.

8. What is the use of two dimensional parity in error detection?

Two-dimensional parity check increases the likelihood of detecting burst errors. It is used to
detect errors occurred in more than one bits.

9. What are the issues in data link layer?

The data link layer has a number of specific functions it can carry out. These functions include,

character/data unit or packet) is changed from 1 to 0 or from 0 to1.
Burst error: Means that 2 or more bits in the data unit have changed from 1 to 0 from 0 to1.

14. What is redundancy?

It is the error detecting mechanism, which means a shorter group of bits or extra bits may be appended
at the destination of each unit.

15. What is the purpose of hamming code?

A hamming code can be designed to correct burst errors of certain lengths. So the simple strategy
used by the hamming code to correct single bit errors must be redesigned to be applicable for multiple bit
correction.

16. What is mean by error control?

Error control is a method that can be used to recover the corrupted data whenever possible. These are
two basic types of error control which are backward error control and forward error control.

17. What is OSI?

data as a stream of bytes. So it is called as stream of bytes.

28. Define jitter

Jitter is defined as a variation in the delay of received packets. The sending side transmits packets in
a continuous stream and spaces them evenly apart. Because of network congestion, improper queuing, or
configuration errors, the delay between packets can vary instead of remaining constant.

when in proximity to other objects. Examples in this class of objects include molecular structures, water
droplets and other liquid effects, melting objects and muscle shapes in the human body. These objects can be
described as exhibiting "blobbiness" and are often simply referred to as blobby objects, since their shapes
show a certain degree of fluidity.

OBJECT ORIENTED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN

UNIT-I

Introduction to OOAD

1. What is the critical ability of an object oriented system?

A critical ability of Object Oriented development is to skilfully assign responsibilities to software
objects. It is one activity that must be performed either while drawing a UML diagram or
programming and it strongly influences the robustness, maintainability, and reusability of software
components.

2. What is meant by object oriented system development methodology?

Object oriented system development methodology is a way to develop software by building self-
contained modules or objects that can be easily replaced, modified and reused.

3. What is meant by analysis and design?

Analysis emphasizes an investigation of the problem and requirements, rather than a solution. For
example, if a new online trading system is desired, Analysis answers the following questions: How
will it be used? & what are its functions?
"Analysis" is a broad term, and it is referred as requirements analysis (an investigation of the
requirements) or object-oriented analysis (an investigation of the domain objects).
Design emphasizes a conceptual solution (in software and hardware) that fulfils the requirements,
rather than its implementation. For example, a description of a database schema and software objects.
Design ideas often exclude low-level or "obvious" details obvious to the intended consumers.
Ultimately, designs can be implemented, and the implementation (such as code) expresses the true
and complete realized design.
Useful analysis and design have been summarized in the phrase do the right thing (analysis), and
do the things right (design).
 What is OOAD?

4. What is object oriented analysis and design?

During object-oriented analysis there is an emphasis on finding and describing the objects or
concepts in the problem domain. For example, in the case of the flight information system, some of
the concepts include Plane, Flight, and Pilot.
During object-oriented design (or simply, object design) there is an emphasis on defining software
objects and how they collaborate to fulfil the requirements. For example, a Plane software object may
have a tailNumber attribute and a get Flight History method.
5. Define − Domain Model
Domain Model is defined as a visualization of the concepts or mental models of a real-world
domain and it is also called a conceptual object model. Object-oriented analysis is concerned with
creating a description of the domain from the perspective of objects. There is an identification of
the concepts, attributes, and associations that are considered noteworthy. The result can be
expressed in a domain model that shows the noteworthy domain concepts or objects. It can be
noted that a domain model is not a description of software objects.

What is UML?

6. What is UML? (M/J − 12)

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a visual language for specifying, constructing and
documenting the artifacts of systems.
The word visual in the definition is a key point - the UML is the de facto standard diagramming
notation for drawing or presenting pictures (with some text) related to software primarily OO
software.

7. What are the three ways to apply UML?

The three ways to apply UML are:
1) UML as sketch − Informal and incomplete diagrams (often hand sketched on whiteboards) created
to explore difficult parts of the problem or solution space, exploiting the power of visual languages.
2) UML as blueprint – It is a relatively detailed design diagrams used either for,
(i) Reverse engineering to visualize and better understanding existing code in
UML diagrams
(ii) Code generation (forward engineering)
If reverse engineering, a UML tool reads the source or binaries and generates (typically) UML
package, class, and sequence diagrams. These "blueprints" can help the reader understand the big
picture elements, structure, and collaborations.
Before programming, some detailed diagrams can provide guidance for code generation (e.g., in
Java), either manually or automatically with a tool. It's common that the diagrams are used for
some code, and other code is filled in by a developer while coding (perhaps also applying UML
sketching).
3) UML as programming language − Complete executable specification of a software system in
UML. Executable code will be automatically generated, but is not normally seen or modified by
developers; one works only in the UML "programming language." This use of UML requires a
practical way to diagram all behaviour or logic (probably using interaction or state diagrams), and
is still under development in terms of theory, tool robustness and usability.
8. What are the three perspectives to apply UML?
The three perspectives to apply UML are,
1) Conceptual perspective the diagrams are interpreted as describing things in a situation of the real
world or domain of interest.
2) Specification (software) perspective the diagrams (using the same notation as in the conceptual
Perspective) describe software abstractions or components with specifications and interfaces,
but no commitment to a particular implementation (for example, not specifically a class in C# or
java.
3) Implementation (software) perspective the diagrams describe software implementations in a
particular technology (such as Java).
 9. Define − Conceptual Class, Software Class and Implementation Class
1) Conceptual class – real world concept or thing. A conceptual or essential perspective.
The UP Domain Model contains conceptual classes.
2) Software class – a class representing a specification or implementation perspective of
software component, regardless of the process or method.
3)Implementation class – a class implemented in a specific OO language such as Java.

What is the Unified process (UP) phases?

10. Define − Unified Process (UP)

The Unified Process is defined as a popular iterative software development process for building
object-oriented systems. In particular, the Rational Unified Process or RUP, a detailed refinement of
the Unified Process, has been widely adopted.
The UP is very flexible and open, and encourages including skilful practices from other iterative
methods, such as from Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum, and so forth. For example, XP's test-
driven development, refactoring and continuous integration practices can fit within a UP project. So
can Scrum's common project room ("war room") and daily Scrum meeting practice.
The UP combines commonly accepted best practices, such as an iterative lifecycle and risk-driven
development, into a cohesive and well-documented process description.

11. What is the importance of the unified process?

The importance of the Unified Process (UP) is,
1) The UP is an iterative process. Iterative development influences how to introduce OOAD, and to
understand how it is best practiced.
2) UP practices provide an example structure for how to do and thus how to explain OOAD.
3) The UP is flexible, and can be applied in a lightweight and agile approach that includes practices
from other agile methods (such as XP or Scrum).

12. What is iterative and evolutionary development?

A key practice in both the UP and most other modern methods is iterative development. In this
lifecycle approach, development is organized into a series of short, fixed-length (for example, three-
week) mini-projects called iterations; the outcome of each is a tested, integrated, and executable
partial system. Each iteration includes its own requirements analysis, design, implementation, and
testing activities.
The iterative lifecycle is based on the successive enlargement and refinement of a system through
multiple iterations, with cyclic feedback and adaptation as core drivers to converge upon a suitable
system. The system grows incrementally over time, iteration by iteration, and thus this approach is
specifications and design, it is also known as iterative and evolutionary development.

13. What are the benefits of iterative development?

The benefits of iterative development are,
1) Less project failure, better productivity, and lower defect rates; shown by research into iterative and
evolutionary methods
2) Early rather than late mitigation of high risks (technical, requirements, objectives, usability, and so
forth) early visible progress
3) Early feedback, user engagement, and adaptation, leading to a refined system that more closely
meets the real needs of the stakeholders
4) Managed complexity; the team is not overwhelmed by "analysis paralysis" or very long and
complex steps
5) The learning within an iteration can be methodically used to improve the development process
itself, iteration by iteration

14. What are agile methods?

Agile development methods usually apply time boxed iterative and evolutionary development,
employ adaptive planning, promote incremental delivery, and include other values and practices that
encourage agility, rapid and flexible response to change.
Agile methods share best practices like evolutionary refinement of plans, requirements, and
design. In addition, they promote practices and principles that reflect an agile sensibility of simplicity,
lightness, communication, self-organizing teams, and more.
15. List any five agile principles.
The five agile principles are,
1) Satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software
2) Agile processes harness change for customer’s competitive advantage
3) Deliver working software frequently
4) Agile software promote sustainable development
5) The best, architecture, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams

16. Define − Agile Modelling

The very act of modeling can and should provide a way to better understand the problem or
solution space. The purpose of doing UML is to quickly explore (more quickly than with code)
alternatives and the path to a good OO design. Many agile methods, such as feature-driven
Development, DSDM, and Scrum include significant modelling sessions. The purpose of modelling is
primarily support understanding and communication, not documentation.

17. List the other Critical UP practices. (2 Marks)

The idea for UP practice is short time boxed iterative, evolutionary, and adaptive development.
Some additional best practices and key ideas in UP are,
1) Tackle high-risk and high-value issue in early iterations
2) Continual evaluation, feedback and requirements from users
3) Build cohesive, core architecture in early iterations
4) Continuously verify quality; test early, often and realistically
5) Practice Change Request and Configuration Management

18. List the different types of UP phases. (2 Marks)

An UP Project organizes work and iterations across four major phases are,
1) Inception – approximate Vision, Business case, scope, vague estimates
2) Elaboration – Refined Vision, iterative implementation of the core architecture, resolution of high
risks, identification of most requirements and scope, more realistic estimates
3) Construction – Iterative implementation of the remaining lower risk and easier elements, and
preparation for deployment
4) Transition – beta tests, deployment

19. List the types of UP disciplines. (2 Marks)

Some of the artifacts in the following Disciplines are:
1) Business Modelling – The Domain Model artifact, to visualize noteworthy concepts in the
application domain
2) Requirements – The Use Case Model and Supplementary specification artifacts to capture
functional and non-functional requirements
3) Design – The Design Model artifact, to design the software artifacts
4) Implementation – Programming and building the system, not deploying it

20. What does Use case Diagram represent? Give an example. (2 Marks)
The UML provides use case diagram notation to illustrate the names of use cases and actors, and
the relationships between them.
Guideline:
A simple use case diagram is drawn in conjunction with an actor-goal list.
A use case diagram is an excellent picture of the system context; it makes a good context diagram
that is, showing the boundary of a system, what lies outside of it, and how it gets used. It serves as a
communication tool that summarizes the behaviour of a system and its actors. A sample partial use
case context diagram for the NextGen system is shown below.
 UML activity diagrams and modelling

21. What is an UML activity diagram? (2 Marks)

A UML activity diagram shows sequential and parallel activities in a process. They are useful for
modeling business processes, workflows, data flows, and complex algorithms.

22. State the role and application of activity diagrams. (2 Marks)

A UML activity diagram offers rich notation to show a sequence of activities, including parallel
activities. It may be applied to any perspective or purpose, but is popular for visualizing business
workflows and processes, and use cases.

23. Define − Swim Lane (N/D – 11, N/D – 12) (2 Marks)

A swim lane (or swimlane) is defined as a visual element used in process flow diagrams, or
flowcharts that visually distinguishes responsibilities for sub-processes of a business process. Swim
lanes may be arranged either horizontally or vertically.

24. What is business object model? (2 Marks)

The UP Domain Model is a specialization of the UP Business Object Model (BOM) "focusing on
explaining 'things' and products important to a business domain" [RUP]. That is, a Domain
Model focuses on one domain, such as POS related things. The more broad BOM, is an
expanded, often very large and difficult to create, multi-domain model that covers the entire
business and all its sub domains.

25. List the elements in activity modelling. (2

Marks) An activity diagram may have the following elements:
1. Activity states represent the performance of an activity or step within the workflow.
2. Transitions show what activity state follows another. This type of transition can
be referred to as a completion transition. It differs from a transition in that it does
not require an explicit trigger event; instead it’s triggered by the completion of
the activity that the activity state represents.
3. Decisions for which a set of guard conditions are defined. Guard conditions
 control which transition, of a set of alternative transitions, follows once the
activity is complete. You may also use the decision icon to show where the
threads merge again. Decisions and guard conditions allow you to show
alternative threads in the workflow of a business use case.
4. Synchronization bars are used to show parallel sub flows. Synchronization bars
allow you to show concurrent threads in the workflow of a business use case.

UML State Diagrams and

Modeling
26. What are UML state machine diagrams? (N/D – 12)(2
Marks)
A UML state chart diagram illustrates the interesting events and states of an object, and the
behavior of an object in reaction to an event. Transitions are shown as arrows, labeled with their
event. States are shown in rounded rectangles.

27. Define − Event, State and Transition (A/M – 11, M/J – 12) (2
Marks)
An event is defined as a significant or noteworthy occurrence. It is a label associated with a
transition that identifies the message which causes a state change. Example: A telephone receiver is
taken off the hook.
A state is defined as the condition of an object at a moment in time, the time between events.
Example: A telephone is in the state of being "idle" after the receiver is placed on the hook
and until it is taken off the hook.
A transition is defined as a relationship between two states that indicates that when an event
occurs, the object moves from the prior state to the subsequent state. Example: When the event
"off hook" occurs, transition the telephone from the "idle" to "active" state.

UML Deployment and Component Diagrams

28. What are deployment diagrams? (2 Marks)

A deployment diagram shows the assignment of concrete software artifacts (such as executable
files) to computational nodes (something with processing services). It shows the deployment of
software elements to the physical architecture and the communication (usually on a network)
between physical elements.

29. What is component diagram? (M/J – 12)(2 Marks)

The component diagram helps to model the physical aspect of an Object-Oriented software
system. It illustrates the architectures of the software components and the dependencies between
them.

30. Define − Component (N/D – 11, N/D – 12) (2

Marks)
A component is defined as a modular part of a system that encapsulates its contents and
whose manifestation is replaceable within its environment. A component defines its behavior in
terms of provided and required interfaces.

31. What is meant by an axiom? List the two design axioms of object oriented design. (2
Marks)
An axiom is a fundamental truth that always is observed to be valid and for which there is
no counter example or exception. Two design axioms of object oriented design are:
Axiom 1: The independence
axiom Axiom 2: The
information axiom

UNIT-II
Designing objects with responsibilities

1. What is an initial domain object? (2 Marks)

An initial domain object is a class and it is chosen to be at or near the root of the containment or
aggregation hierarchy of domain objects. This may be a facade controller, such as Register, or some other
object considered to contain all or most other objects, such as a Store.

2. List the ways to connect the UI Layer to the Domain Layer. (2 Marks) The ways are:
• An initializing routine (for example, a Java main method) creates both a UI and a domain
object, and passes the domain object to the UI.
• A UI object retrieves the domain object from a well-known source, such as a factory object that
is responsible for creating domain objects.

3. Write a note on interface and domain layer responsibilities. (2 Marks)

The UI layer should not have any domain logic responsibilities. It should only be responsible for user
interface tasks, such as updating widgets. The UI layer should forward requests for all domain- oriented tasks
on to the domain layer, which is responsible for handling them.

4. Define – Responsibilities and Methods (2 Marks)

The UML defines a responsibility as "a contract or obligation of a classifier".
Responsibilities are related to the obligations of an object in terms of its behaviour. Basically, these
responsibilities are of the following two types:
- knowing
-doing
Doing responsibilities of an object include:
- doing something itself, such as creating an object or doing a calculation
- initiating action in other objects
 -controlling and coordinating activities in other objects Knowing
responsibilities of an object include:
- knowing about private encapsulated data
- knowing about related objects
- knowing about things it can derive or calculate

5. What is responsibility-driven design? (2 Marks)

A popular way of thinking about the design of software objects and also larger scale components 3 are
in terms of responsibilities, roles, and collaborations. This is part of a larger approach called responsibility-
driven design or RDD.

6. What is meant by responsibilities? (2 Marks)

The UML defines a responsibility as “a contract or obligation of a classifier”. Responsibilities are
related to the obligations or behavior of an object in terms of its role.

7. List the types of responsibilities. (2 Marks)

The responsibilities are of the following two types: doing and knowing. Doing
responsibilities of an object include:
• doing something itself, such as creating an object or doing a calculation
• initiating action in other objects
• controlling and coordinating activities in other objects Knowing responsibilities of an object
include:
• knowing about private encapsulated data
• knowing about related objects
• knowing about things it can derive or calculate

Creator

8. Who is creator? (2 Marks)

Assign class B the responsibility to create an instance of class A if one or more of the following is true:
-B aggregates an object.
-B contains an object.
-B records instances of objects.
-B closely uses objects.
-B has the initializing data that will be passed to A when it is created (thus B is an Expert with respect to
creating A).
-B is a creator of an object.
-If more than one option applies, prefer a class B which aggregates or contains class A.

9. Define – Creator (2 Marks)

Creation of objects is one of the most common activities in an object-oriented system. Which class is
responsible for creating objects is a fundamental property of the relationship between objects of particular
classes.

10. Define – Modular Design (2 Marks)

Coupling and cohesion are old principles in software design; designing with objects does not imply
ignoring well-established fundamentals. Another of these. Which is strongly related to coupling and
cohesion? is to promote modular design.

11. What are the advantages of factory objects? (2 Marks) The advantages are:
• Separate the responsibility of complex creation into cohesive helper objects.
• Hide potentially complex creation logic.
• Allow introduction of performance-enhancing memory management strategies, such as object
caching or recycling.

12. List some Abstract for Factory (GoF) for Families of Related Objects. (2 Marks) The Java POS
implementations will be purchased from manufacturers.
For example:
// IBM's drivers
com.ibm.pos.jpos.CashDrawer (implements jpos.CashDrawer)
 com.ibm.pos.jpos.CoinDispenser (implements jpos.CoinDispenser)
// NCR's drivers
com.ncr.posdrivers.CashDrawer (implements jpos.CashDrawer)
com.ncr.posdrivers.CoinDispenser (implements jpos.CoinDispenser)

13. What is meant by abstract class abstract factory? (2 Marks)

A common variation on Abstract Factory is to create an abstract class factory that is accessed using the
Singleton pattern, reads from a system property to decide which of its subclass factories to create,
and then returns the appropriate subclass instance. This is used, for example, in the Java libraries with
the java.awt.Toolkit class, which is an abstract class abstract factory for creating families of GUI widgets for
different operating system and GUI subsystems

14. What is meant by fine-grained classes? (2 Marks)

Consider the creation of the Credit Card, Drivers License, and Check software objects. Our first
impulse might be to record the data they hold simply in their related payment classes, and eliminate such
fine-grained classes. However, it is usually a more profitable strategy to use them; they often end up
providing useful behavior and being reusable. For example, the Credit Card is a natural Expert on telling
you its credit company type (Visa, MasterCard, and so on). This behavior will turn out to be necessary for
our application.

Low Coupling

15. Define – Low Coupling (2 Marks)

Low Coupling is an evaluative pattern, which dictates how to assign responsibilities to support:
• Low dependency between classes;
• Low impact in a class of changes in other classes;
• High reuse potential;

16. Define – Coupling (A/M-11, M/J-12) (2 Marks) The degree to which components depend on one
another. There are two types of coupling, "tight" and "loose". Loose coupling is desirable for good software
engineering but tight coupling may be necessary for maximum performance. Coupling is increased when the
data exchanged between components becomes larger or more complex. Coupling is the degree to which
one class knows about another class. Let us consider two classes class A and class B. If class A knows class B
through its interface only i.e., it interacts with class B through its API then class A and class B are said to be
loosely coupled. If on the other hand class A apart from interacting class B by means of its interface also
interacts through the non-interface stuff of class B then they are said to be tightly
coupled.

Applying GoF design patterns

17. Define – Patterns (2 Marks)

A pattern is a named problem/solution pair that can be applied in new context, with advice on how to
apply it in novel situations and discussion of its trade-offs.

18. List the GRASP Patterns. (2 Marks)

The first five GRASP patterns are:
. Information Expert
. Creator
. High Cohesion
. Low Coupling
. Controller

19. What is meant by patterns? (M/J-13, M/J-12) (2 Marks) Design patterns are supposed to
provide a structure in which problems can be solved. When solving a real problem, you have to consider
many tiny variations of a solution to that problem to see whether any fits a design pattern. In particular, you
will probably need to generalise your problem, or
its solution, in order to make a design pattern fit.

20. What is meant by GRASP? (M/J-13) (2 Marks)

GRASP (General Responsibility Assignment Software Patterns) provides guidance for assigning
 responsibilities to classes and, to a limited extent, determining the classes that will be in a design in an
object-oriented system. The different patterns and principles used in GRASP are: Controller, Creator,
Indirection, Information Expert, High Cohesion, Low Coupling, Polymorphism, Protected Variations, and
Pure Fabrication. All these patterns answer some software problem, and in almost every case these
problems are common to almost every software development project.

21. Write a note on patterns. (N/D-11) (2 Marks) Design pattern identifies the key aspects of a
common design structure that makes it useful for creating a reusable object oriented design. Furthermore, it
identifies the participating classes and instances, their roles and collaborations, and the distribution of
responsibilities. It describes when it applies, whether it can be applied in view of other design constraints and
the consequences and tradeoffs of its use.
A pattern is an instructive information that captures the essential structure and insight of a successful
family of proven solutions to a recurring problem that arises within a certain context and system of forces.

22. Define – Object (N/D-12) (2 Marks)

Objects are key to understanding object-oriented technology. Real-world objects share two
characteristics: They all have state and behavior. Dogs have state (name, color, breed, hungry) and behaviour
(barking, fetching, wagging tail). Bicycles also have state (current gear, current pedal cadence, current speed)
and behavior (changing gear, changing pedal cadence, applying brakes). Identifying the state and behavior
for real-world objects is a great way to begin thinking in terms of object-oriented programming.

High Cohesion

23. List out some scenarios that illustrate varying degrees of functional cohesion. (2 Marks) Some
scenarios that illustrate varying degrees of functional cohesion are,
 Very low cohesion
 Low cohesion
 High cohesion
 Moderate cohesion

24. Define – High Cohesion (2 Marks)

High Cohesion is an evaluative pattern that attempts to keep objects appropriately focused, manageable and
understandable. High cohesion is generally used in support of Low Coupling. High cohesion means that the
responsibilities of a given element are strongly related and highly focused. Breaking programs into classes
and subsystems is an example of activities that increase the cohesive properties of a system.

25. What is meant by high cohesion? (N/D-12) (2 Marks)

Cohesion refers to the measure of how strongly-related the functions of a module. High cohesion
refers to modules that have functions that are similar in many aspects.
The benefits of high cohesion are
1. Readability – (closely) related functions are contained in a single module
2. Maintainability – debugging tends to be contained in a single module
3. Reusability – classes that have concentrated functionalities are not polluted with
useless functions

26. Distinguish between coupling and cohesion. (N/D-11) (2 Marks)

Cohesion Coupling
Cohesion refers to what the class (or module) It refers to how related are two classes / modules
will do. Low cohesion would mean that the class and how dependent they are on each other. Being
does a great variety of actions and is not focused low coupling would mean that changing
on what it should do. High cohesion would then something major in one class should not affect
mean that the class is focused on what it should the other. High coupling would make your code
be doing, i.e. only methods relating to the difficult to make changes as well as to maintain
intention of the class. it, as classes are coupled closely together,
making a change could mean an entire
system revamp.
 High cohesion within modules Low coupling between modules.
Increased cohesion and decreased coupling do The most effective method of decreasing
lead to good software design. coupling and increasing cohesion is design by
interface.

Controller

27. What is controller? (2 Marks)

The Controller pattern assigns the responsibility of dealing with system events to a non-UI class that
represent the overall system or a use case scenario. A Controller object is a non-user interface object
responsible for receiving or handling a system event.

Information expert

28. What is information expert? (2Marks)

Information Expert is a principle used to determine where to delegate responsibilities. These
responsibilities include methods, computed fields and so on. Using the principle of Information Expert a
general approach to assigning responsibilities is to look at a given responsibility, determine the information
needed to fulfil it, and then determine where that information is stored. Information Expert will lead to
placing the responsibility on the class with the most information required to fulfil it.

Adapter, singleton, factory and observer patterns.

29. What is singleton pattern? (2 Marks)

The singleton pattern is a design pattern used to implement the mathematical concept of a singleton, by
restricting the instantiation of a class to one object. This is useful when exactlyone object is needed to
coordinate actions across the system.

30. What is adapter pattern? (2 Marks)

The adapter pattern is a design pattern that translates one interface for a class into a compatible interface.
An adapter allows classes to work together that normally could not because of incompatible interfaces, by
providing its interface to clients while using the original interface. The adapter is also responsible for
transforming data into appropriate forms.

31. What is facade pattern? (2 Marks)

A facade is an object that provides a simplified interface to a larger body of code, such as a class library.
A facade can:
• make a software library easier to use, understand and test, since the facade has convenient
methods for common tasks;
• make code that uses the library more readable, for the same reason;
• reduce dependencies of outside code on the inner workings of a library, since most code
uses the facade, thus allowing more flexibility in developing the system;
• wrap a poorly-designed collection of APIs with a single well-designed API (as per task
needs).

32. What is observer pattern? (2 Marks)

The observer pattern (a subset of the publish/subscribe pattern) is a software design pattern in which an
object, called the subject, maintains a list of its dependents, called observers, and notifies them automatically
of any state changes, usually by calling one of their methods. It is mainly used to implement distributed
event handling systems.

UNIT III

Elaboration

1. What is an elaboration? (M/J − 12) (2 Marks)

Elaboration is used to build the core architecture, resolve the high-risk elements, define most
requirements, and estimate the overall schedule and resources.

2. List the tasks performed in elaboration. (2 Marks)

The tasks performed in elaboration are:
1. The core, risky software architecture is programmed and tested
2. The majority of requirements are discovered and stabilized
3. The major risks are mitigated or retired

3. What are the key ideas and best practices that will manifest in elaboration? (2 Marks)
The key ideas and best practices are:
1. Do a short time boxed risk-driven iterations
2. Start programming early
3. Adaptively design, implement, and test the core and risky parts of the architecture
4. Test early, often, realistically
5. Adapt based on feedback from tests, users, developers
6. Write most of the use cases and other requirements in detail, through a series of workshops,
once per elaboration iteration

Domain Models

4. What is domain model? (A/M − 11) (2 Marks)

A domain model is a visual representation of conceptual classes or real-world objects in a domain
of interest. They have also been called conceptual models, domain object models, and analysis object
models.

5. List the steps involved in creating a domain model. (2 Marks)

The steps involved in creating a domain model are,
1. Find the conceptual classes
2. Draw them as classes in a UML class diagram
3. Add associations and attributes

6. List the ways to illustrate a domain model. (2 Marks)

Applying UML notation, a domain model is illustrated with a set of class diagrams in which no
operations (method signatures) are defined. It provides a conceptual perspective. It shows the
following,
1. Domain objects or conceptual classes
 2. Associations between conceptual classes
3. Attributes of conceptual classes

7. Why domain model is called as a "Visual Dictionary"?

(2 Marks)
The information domain model illustrates could alternatively have been expressed in
plain text. But it's easy to understand the terms and especially their relationships in a
visual language, since our brains are good at understanding visual elements and line
connections. Therefore, the domain model is a visual dictionary of the noteworthy
abstractions, domain vocabulary, and information content of the domain.

8. List the elements not suitable in a domain model. (2 Marks) The e

1. Software artifacts, such as a window or a database, unless the domain being
modeled are of software concepts, such as a model of graphical user interfaces.
2. Responsibilities or methods.

Finding conceptual classes and description classes

9. Define − Conceptual Classes (2

Marks)
The conceptual class is defined as an idea, thing, or object. More formally, a
conceptual class may be considered in terms of its symbol, intension, and extension.

10. Define − Description Class (2

Marks)
A description class is defined as information that describes something else. For
example, a Product Description that records the price, picture, and text description of an
Item.

11. List the three strategies to find conceptual classes. (2 Marks) The thr
1. Reuse or modify existing models.
2. Use a category list.
3. Identify noun phrases

Associations

12. What is an association? (2

Marks)
An association is a relationship between classes (more precisely, instances of those
classes) that indicates some meaningful and interesting connection.

13. Draw the UML notation for an association. (2

Marks)
 Associations are defined as semantic relationship between two or more classifiers that
involve connections among their instances.
Records-current
Register Sale

14. State the reason to avoid adding many associations. (2

Marks)
We need to avoid adding too many associations to a domain model. In discrete
mathematics, in a graph with n nodes, there can be associations to other nodes a
potentially very large number. A domain model with 20 classes could have 190
associations’ lines! Many lines on the diagram will obscure it with "visual noise."
Therefore, be parsimonious about adding association lines.

15. Write the format to name an association in UML.

(2 Marks)
Name in an association is based on a Class Name-Verb Phrase- Class Name format
where the verb phrase creates a sequence that is readable and meaningful.

16. What is multiplicity? (2

Marks)
Multiplicity defines how many instances of class A can be associated with one
instance of a class
B.
Stocks
Store
Item

1 +

17. What are association role names? (2 Marks) Each en

1. Name
2. Multiplicity
A role name identifies an end of an association and ideally describes the role played by
objects in the association.

18. What is qualified association? (2

Marks)
A qualifier may be used in an association; it distinguishes the set of objects at the far
end of the association based on the qualifier value. An association with a qualifier is a
qualified association. For example, ProductDescriptions may be distinguished in a
ProductCatalog by their itemID.

Attributes

19. What is an attribute? (2

Marks)
 An attribute is a logical data value of an object. It is useful to identify those attributes
of conceptual classes that are needed to satisfy the information requirements of the
current scenarios under development.

20. What is a derived attributes? (2

Marks)
The derived attribute is an attribute whose value is calculated from some other
attribute. The total attribute in the Sale can be calculated or derived from the information
in the SalesLineItems.

Domain Model Refinement

21. How does domain model is further refined after the first iteration?
(2 Marks)
Generalization and specializations are fundamental concepts in domain modeling.
Conceptual class hierarchies are often inspiration for software class hierarchies that
exploits inheritance and reduce duplication of code.
Packages are a way to organize large domain models into smaller units.
Domain model is further refined with Generalization, Specialization, Association
classes, Time intervals, Composition and packages, usage of subclasses.

22. State the way to develop a domain model incrementally.

(2 Marks)
The domain model is incrementally developed by considering concepts in the
requirements for this iteration.

23. What is generalization? (2

Marks)
Generalization is the activity of identifying commonality among concepts and
defining super class (general concept) and subclass (specialized concept) relationships.

24. Differentiate single inheritance from multiple inheritances. (N/D –12)

(2 Marks)
In single inheritance one class inherits its state (attributes) and behavior from exactly
one super class. When one class inherits its state (attributes) and behavior from more
than one super class, it is referred to as multiple inheritances.

25. What is the need for packages? (2

Marks)
A domain model can easily grow large enough that it is desirable to factor it into
packages of strongly related concepts, as an aid to comprehension and parallel analysis
work in which different people do domain analysis within different sub-domains.
Following Sections illustrate a package structure for the UP Domain Model:
1. UML Package Notation
2. Ownership and References
3. Package Dependencies
26. Draw the UML Package with an example. (2
Marks)

A UML package is shown as tabbed folder as shown above. Subordinate packages

may be shown within it. The package name is within the tab if the package depicts its
elements; otherwise, it is centered within the folder itself.

27. What is package dependency? (2

Marks)
If a model element is in some way dependent on another,
1. The dependency may be shown with a dependency relationship
2. Depicted with Arrowed Line
3. A package dependency indicates elements of the dependent package
know about or are coupled to elements in the target package
Example:
The sales package has a dependency on the Core Elements package.

Finding conceptual class hierarchies

28. What are the uses of defining conceptual super classes and subclasses?
(2 Marks)

Defining is valuable to identify conceptual super and subclasses, it is useful to

clearly and precisely understand generalization, super classes, and subclasses in terms of
class definition and class sets.

29. State the role of conceptual subclass and super classes in set membership.
(2 Marks)
Conceptual subclasses and super classes are related in terms of set membership. By
definition, all members of a conceptual subclass set are members of their super class set.
For example, in terms of set membership, all instances of the set CreditPayment are also
members of the set Payment. This is shown in the Venn diagram shown below.
30. What is 100% rule?
(2 Marks)
100% of the conceptual Super class’s definition should be applicable to the
subclass. The subclass must conform to 100% of the Super class’s attributes and
associations.

31. Write the guidelines followed in defining a super class. (2 Marks) The gu
Create a super class in a generalization relationship to subclasses when :
1. The potential conceptual subclasses represent variations of a similar
concept
2. The subclasses will confirm to the 100% and Is-A rules
3. All subclasses have the same attribute that can be factored out and
expressed in the super class
4. All subclasses have the same association that can be factored out and
related to the super class

32. What are the strong motivations to partition a conceptual class with
subclasses? (2 Marks) The following are the strong motivations to partition a
class into subclasses :
Create a conceptual subclass of a super class when :
1. The subclass has additional attributes of interest
2. The subclass has additional associations of interest
3. The subclass concept is operated on, handled, reacted-to, or manipulated
differently than the super class or other subclasses

Aggregation and
Composition

33. What is aggregation? (A/M – 11, M/J – 12)

(2 Marks)
Aggregation is a vague kind of association in the UML that loosely suggests whole-
part relationships (as do many ordinary associations). It has no meaningful distinct
semantics in the UML versus a plain association, but the term is defined in the UML.

34. What is composition? (A/M – 11, M/J – 12) (2

Marks)
Composition, also known as composite aggregation, is a strong kind of whole-part
aggregation and is useful to show in some models. A composition relationship implies
that 1) an instance of the part belongs to only one composite instance at a time, 2) the
part must always belong to a composite and 3) the composite is responsible for the
creation and deletion of its parts either by itself creating/deleting the parts, or by
collaborating with other objects.

35. What are the benefits of showing composition? (2

Marks)
Showing composition clarifies the domain constraints regarding the eligible
existence of the part independent of the whole. In composite aggregation, the part may
not exist outside of the lifetime of the whole.
1. During design work, this has an impact on the create-delete dependencies
between the whole and part software classes and database elements(in
terms of referential integrity and cascading delete paths)
2. It consists in the identification of a creator (the composite) using the
GRASP Creator Pattern.
3. Operations – such as copy and delete – applied to the whole often
propagate to the parts.
Inception -Use case Modeling

36. Define − Inception (2

Marks)
The inception is defined as an envision of product scope, vision, and business case.
The purpose of inception stage is not to define all the requirements. The Up is not the
waterfall and the first phase inception is not the time to do all requirements or creates
believable estimates or plans. That happens during elaboration.

37. State the intent of inception phase.

(
2 Marks) The intent of inception is to establish some initial common vision for the
objectives of the project,
determine if it is feasible, and decide if it is worth some serious investigation in
elaboration. It can be brief.

38. Define – Requirements (2

Marks)
Requirements are capabilities and conditions, to which the system and more broadly,
the project must conform,
1) The UP promotes a set of best practices, one of which is to manage requirements.
2) In the context of changing and unclear stakeholder’s wishes – Managing
requirements means a systematic approach to finding, documenting, organizing,
and tracking the changing requirements of a system.
A prime challenge of requirements analysis is to find, communicate, and
remember (To write down) what is really needed, in a form that clearly speaks
to the client and development team members.
39. List the types and categories of requirements. (2 Marks) In the U
2) Functional - features, capabilities, security.
3) Usability - human factors, help, documentation.
4) Reliability - frequency of failure, recoverability, predictability.
5) Performance - response times, throughput, accuracy, availability, resource usage.
6) Supportability - adaptability, maintainability, internationalization, configurability.

40. List the key requirements of artifacts. (2 Marks) The Ke

1) Use Case Model - A set of typical scenarios of using a system. There are
primarily for functional (behavioural) requirements.
2) Supplementary Specification - Basically, everything not in the use cases. This
artifact is primarily for all non-functional requirements, such as performance or
licensing. It is also the place to record functional features not expressed (or
expressible) as use cases; for example, a report generation.
3) Glossary - In its simplest form, the Glossary defines noteworthy terms. It also
encompasses the concept of the data dictionary, which records requirements
related to data, such as validation rules, acceptable values, and so forth. The
Glossary can detail any element: an attribute of an object, a parameter of an
operation call, a report layout, and so forth.
4) Vision - Summarizes high-level requirements that are elaborated in the Use-
Case Model and Supplementary Specification, and summarizes the business
case for the project.
5) Business Rules - Business rules (also called Domain Rules) typically describe
requirements or policies that transcend one software project they are required
in the domain or business, and many applications may need to conform to
them. An excellent example is government tax laws. Domain rule details may
be recorded in the Supplementary Specification, but because they are usually
more enduring and applicable than for one software project, placing them in a
central Business Rules artifact (shared by all analysts of the company) makes
for better reuse of the analysis effort.

41. Define -- Actors, Scenarios and Use Cases (A/M-08)

(2 Marks)
An actor is something with behaviour, such as a person (identified by role), computer
system, or organization; for example, a cashier.
A scenario is a specific sequence of actions and interactions between actors and the
system; it is also called a use case instance. It is one particular story of using a system,
or one path through the use case; for example, the scenario of successfully purchasing
items with cash, or the scenario of failing to purchase items because of a credit payment
denial.
A use case is a collection of related success and failure scenarios that describe an
actor using a system to support a goal.

42. Define – Use Case Modelling

(2 Marks)
Use-Case Model is the set of all written use cases; it is a model of the system's
 functionality and environment. Use cases are text documents, not diagrams, and use-
case modeling is primarily an act of writing text, not drawing diagrams.
The Use-Case Model is not the only requirement artifact in the UP. There are also
the Supplementary Specification, Glossary, Vision, and Business Rules. These are all
useful for requirements analysis, but secondary at this point.
The Use-Case Model may optionally include a UML use case diagram to show the
names of use cases and actors, and their relationships. This gives a nice context diagram
of a system and its environment. It also provides a quick way to list the use cases by
name.

43. List the three kinds of actors.

(2 Marks)
Actors are roles played not only by people, but by organizations, software, and
machines. The three kinds of external actors in relation to the SuD are,
1) Primary actor has user goals fulfilled through using services of the SuD. For
example, the cashier.
2) Supporting actor provides a service (for example, information) to the SuD. The
automated payment authorization service is an example. Often a computer system, but
could be an organization or person.
3) Offstage actor has an interest in the behaviour of the use case, but is not primary
or supporting; for example, a government tax agency.

44. What are the preconditions and post conditions of scenarios?

(2 Marks) Preconditions state what must always be true before a scenario is

begun in the use case.
Preconditions are not tested within the use case; rather, they are conditions that are
assumed to be true. Typically, a precondition implies a scenario of another use case, such
as logging in, that has successfully completed.
Success guarantees (or post conditions) state what must be true on successful
completion of the use case either the main success scenario or some alternate path. The
guarantee should meet the needs of all stakeholders.
EXAMPLE:
Preconditions: Cashier is identified and authenticated.
Success Guarantee (Post conditions): Sale is saved. Tax is correctly calculated.
Accounting and Inventory are updated. Commissions recorded. Receipt is generated.

45. List the steps to find use cases. (N/D-

12) (2 Marks) Use cases are defined to satisfy the goals of the primary actors.
Hence, the basic procedures are,
1) Choose the system boundary
2) Identify the primary actors those that have goals fulfilled through using services of
the system.
3) Identify the goals for each primary actor.
4) Define use cases that satisfy user goals; name them according to their goal.

UNIT IV
System Sequence Diagram

1. What is the system sequence diagram? Mention its use.

(A/M-11) (M/J-12)(N/D-11) (2Marks)
A system sequence diagram (SSD) is a picture that shows, for a particular scenario of
a use case, the events that external actors generate their order, and inter-system events.
All systems are treated as a black box; the emphasis of the diagram is events that cross
the system boundary from actors to systems.

2. What is meant by sequence number in UML? Where and for what it is used?
(N/D-11) (2 Marks)
 Sequence number can be of:
 Automatic - Sequence numbers of messages will be updated automatically after
you moved the messages, and you cannot specify custom sequence number to
messages.
 Manual - Sequence numbers of messages will not be updated even after you
moved the messages, and you can specify custom sequence number to messages.
Uses:
 Trace external interactions with the software
 Plan the internal behavior of the application
 Study the software structure
 View the system architecture
 Trace behavior down to physical components

3. List the relationships used in class diagram. (A/M-11)

(2 Marks)

Category Function
Activity edges Represent the flow between activities

Associations Indicate that instances of one model element are connected to instances of
another model element

Dependencies Indicate that a change to one model element can affect another model
element

Generalizations Indicate that one model element is a specialization of another model element

Realizations Indicate that one model element provides a specification that another model
element implements

Transitions Represent changes in state

4. What is meant by system behavior? (2 Marks) Syste

Part of that description is a system sequence diagram. Other parts include the Use cases,
and system
contracts.

5. What is meant by inter-system SSDs? (2 Marks) SSDs

POS and the external credit payment authorizer. However, this is deferred until a later
iteration in the case study, since this iteration does not include remote systems
collaboration.

6. Define – System Events, System Boundary

 (2 Marks)
To identify system events, it is necessary to be clear on the choice of system
boundary, as discussed in the prior chapter on use cases. For the purposes of software
development, the system boundary is usually chosen to be the software system itself; in
this context, a system event is an external event that directly stimulates the software.

7. Write short note on naming system events and operations.

(2 Marks)
System events (and their associated system operations) should be expressed at the
level of intent rather than in terms of the physical input medium or interface widget level.
It also improves clarity to start the name of a system event with a verb Thus "enter
item" is better than "scan" (that is, laser scan) because it captures the intent of the
operation while remaining abstract and noncommittal with respect to design choices
about what interface is used to capture the system event.

Logical architecture and UML Package Diagram

8. Define – Package (M/J- 12) (2

Marks)
A package groups and manages the modelling elements, such as classes, their
associations, and their structures. Packages themselves may be nested within other
packages. A package may contain both other packages and ordinary model elements. The
entire system description can be thought of as a single high-level sub-system package
with everything else init. All kinds of UML model elements and diagrams can be
organized into packages.

9. What are interactive diagrams? List the components involved in interactive

diagrams.
(N/D-12)
(2 Marks)
Interaction diagrams are diagrams that describe how groups of objects collaborate to
get the job done interaction diagrams capture the behavior of the single use case,
showing the pattern of interaction among objects.
There are two kinds of interaction models,
• Sequence Diagram
• Collaboration Diagram.

10. What are the uses of UML component diagram? (A/M-

10)(2 Marks) The uses of UML component diagram are:
 Model the components of a system.
 Model database schema.
 Model executables of an application.
 Model system's source code.

11. What is Software Architecture? (2

Marks)
 An architecture is the set of significant decisions about the organization of a software
system, the selection of the structural elements and their interfaces by which the system
is composed, together
with their behavior as specified in the collaborations among those elements, the
composition of these structural and behavioral elements into progressively larger
subsystems, and the architectural style that guides this organization these elements
and their interfaces, their collaborations, and their composition.

Logical Architecture Refinement

12. What is a layer? (2

Marks)
A layer is a very coarse-grained grouping of classes, packages, or subsystems that
has cohesive responsibility for a major aspect of the system. Also, layers are organized
such that \"higher\" layers (such as the UI layer) call upon services of \"lower\" layers,
but not normally vice versa.

13. What are the UML Operations and method? (2

Marks)
A UML operation is a declaration, with a name, parameters, return type,
exceptions list, and possibly a set of constraints of pre-and post-conditions. But, it
isn\'t an implementation rather, methods are implementations.
A UML method is the implementation of an operation; if constraints are defined, the
method must satisfy them. A method may be illustrated several ways, including:
• In interaction diagrams, by the details and sequence of messages
• In class diagrams, with a UML note symbol stereotyped with «method»

14. What is the logical architecture?

(2 Marks)
The logical architecture is the large-scale organization of the software classes into
packages (or namespaces), subsystems, and layers. It's called the logical architecture
because there's no decision about how these elements are deployed across different
operating system processes or across physical computers in a network.

15. Define − Classifier

(2 Marks)
A UML classifier is a model element that describes behavioral and structure features.
Classifiers can also be specialized. They are a generalization of many of the elements of
the UML, including classes, interfaces, use cases, and actors. In class diagrams, the two
most common classifiers are regular classes and interfaces.

16. What are the connection between SSDs, system operations, and layers? (2
Marks)
The SSDs illustrate these system operations, but hide the specific UI objects.
Nevertheless, normally it will be objects in the UI layer of the system that capture these
system operation requests, usually with a rich client GUI or Web page.
 UML Class
Diagrams

17. What are UML properties and property strings?

(2 Marks)
In the UML, a property is a named value denoting a characteristic of an element. A
property has semantic impact. Some properties are predefined in the UML, such as
visibility a property of an operation. Others can be user-defined.
Properties of elements may be presented in many ways, but a textual approach is to
use the UML property string {name1=value1, name2=value2} format, such as {abstract,
visibility=public}. Some properties are shown without a value, such as {abstract}; this
usually implies a boolean property, shorthand for {abstract=true}. Note that {abstract} is
both an example of a constraint and a property string.
18. What is an association class?
(2 Marks)
An association class allows you treat an association itself as a class, and model it
with attributes, operations, and other features. For example, if a Company employs many
Persons, modelled with an Employs association, you can model the association itself as
the Employment class, with attributes such as startDate.
19. List the relationships used in class diagram? (M/J -
12)(2 Marks) The following are the relationships used in class diagram:
1. Generalization(class to class)
2. Association (object to object)
3. Aggregation (object to object)
4. Composition (object to object)
20. What is design class diagram (DCD)?
(2 Marks)
It can explored, the same UML diagram can be used in multiple perspectives (Figure
below). In a conceptual perspective the class diagram can be used to visualize a domain
model. A unique term to clarify when the class diagram is used in software or design
perspective is called design class diagram (DCD), and all DCDs form part of the Design
Model.

Package
diagrams
21. How to show methods in class diagrams?
(2 Marks)
A UML method is the implementation of an operation; if constraints are defined, the
method must satisfy them. A method may be illustrated several ways, including: in
interaction diagrams, by the details and sequence of messages in class diagrams,
with a UML note symbol stereotyped with
«method».

22. Define – Keywords, Stereotype, Profiles and Tags

(2 Marks)
Keywords, stereotypes are shown with guillemot’s symbols, such as «authorship».
 But, they are not keywords, which can be confusing. A stereotype represents a
refinement of an existing modelling concept and is defined within a UML profile—
informally, a collection of related stereotypes, tags, and constraints to specialize the use
of the UML for a specific domain or platform, such as a UML profile for project
management or for data modelling. The UML predefines many stereotypes, such
as
«destroy» (used on sequence diagrams), and also allows user-defined ones. Thus,
stereotypes provide an extension mechanism in the UML.
UML
Interaction
Diagrams
23. What is the use of interaction diagram? (M/J – 13)
(2 Marks) The term interaction diagram is a generalization of two more
specialized UML diagram types;
both can be used to express similar message interactions:
 Collaboration diagrams
 Sequence diagrams

24. What is meant by link?

(2 Marks)
A link is a connection path between two objects; it indicates some form of
navigation and visibility between the objects is possible. More formally, a link is an
instance of an association. For example, there is a link or path of navigation from a
Register to a Sale, along which messages may flow, such as the make 2 Payment
message.
Each message between objects is represented with a message expression and small
arrow indicating the direction of the message. Many messages may flow along this link.
A sequence number is added to show the sequential order of messages in the current
thread of control.

25. What is an instance? (2

Marks)
Any message can be used to create an instance, but there is a convention in the UML
to use a message named create for this purpose. If another (perhaps less obvious)
message name is used, the message may be annotated with a special feature called a
UML stereotype, like so: «create».
The create message may include parameters, indicating the passing of initial values.
This indicates, for example, a constructor call with parameters in Java.

Design
to
Code

1. List the steps involved in mapping design to code. (2 Marks)

1. Class and interface definitions
The required visibility and associations between classes are
indicated by the interaction diagrams.
2. Method definitions
A method body implementation may be shown in a UML note box.
It should be placed with in braces, it is semantic influence. The syntax may
be pseudo-code, or any language.
It is common to exclude the method signature (public void ...), but it is legal to
include it.

2. What is State-Independent and State-Dependent Objects? (2 Marks)

If an object always responds the same way to an event, then it is considered
state independent (or modeless) with respect to that event.
If for all events of interest, an object always reacts the same way, it is a
state-independent object. By contrast, state-dependent objects react
differently to events depending on their state or mode.

3. Write the attribute presentation suggested by UML? (2 Marks)

OCL can be used during the design phase to define the class attributes .The following
is the attribute presentation suggested by UML.
Visibility name: type –expression-initial-value where visibility is
+ public visibility
# protected visibility
- private visibility
Type – expression is language dependent specification .Initial – value is
language dependent expression for the initial value of a newly created
object.

4. What are the three relationships that can be shown in UML diagram? Define
them. (2 Marks) T
1. Association how are objects associated? This information will guide us in designing
classes.
2. Super-Sub Structure How are objects organized into super classes and
sub classes? This information provides us the direction of inheritance.
3. Aggregation and a part of Structure what is the composition of
complex classes? This information guides as in defining
mechanisms that properly manage object within object.

5. Define – Database Models (2 Marks)

A database model is a collection of logical constructs representing the data
structure and data relationship within the database.
Database models is of two categories
1. Conceptual model
2. Implementation model
Conceptual Model: Focuses on logical nature of data. It deals with what is
represented in the database.
Implementation Model: is concerned with how it is represented.

6. Define – Testing (2 Marks)

 Testing is generally described as a group of procedures carried out to evaluate
some aspect of a piece of software.
 Testing can be described as a process used for revealing defects in software and
for establishing that the software has attained a specified degree of quality with
respect to selected attributes.

7. State some of the important test related issues. (2 Marks)

 There is a demand for software of high quality with low defects;
  Process is important in the software engineering discipline;
 Software testing is an important software development sub process;
 Existing software evaluation and improvement models have not adequately
addressed testing issues.

8. What are the two major goals considered for integrated testing? (2 Marks)

 to detect defects that occur on the interfaces of units;

 to assemble the individual units into working subsystems and finally a complete
system that is ready for system test.
9. List the issues of class testing. (2 Marks)
Issue1: Adequately testing classes
Issue2: Observation of object states and state
changes. Issue3: The retesting of classes-I
Issue4: The retesting of classes-II

10. What are the challenges of class testing? (2 Marks) OO

Encapsulation:
Difficult to obtain a snapshot of a class without building extra methods which display the
classes’ state
Inheritance and polymorphism:
Each new context of use (subclass) requires re-testing because a method may be
implemented differently (polymorphism).
Other unaltered methods within the subclass may use the redefined method and need to be
tested.

11. How is class testing different from conventional testing? (2 Marks)

Conventional testing focuses on input-process-output, whereas class testing focuses
on each method, then designing sequences of methods to exercise states of a class.

12. Write the impact of OO programming on testing. (2 Marks)

When an operation is invoked, it may be hard to tell exactly what code gets exercised.
It can be hard to determine the exact type or class of a parameter. OO operations are
smaller, more time needed for integration. So integration faults become more plausible.

13. List the class testing techniques. (2 Marks)

 State transition testing
 Transaction flow testing
 Exception testing

14. What are the three different incremental strategies of integration testing? (2 Marks)
 Thread-based testing
 Use-based testing
 Cluster testing
 15. List the types of errors found during integration testing. (2 Marks)
 Messaging errors
 User interface errors

16. What are the challenges of GUI testing? (2 Marks)

 GUI test automation is harder than API test automation
 Documentation; GUIs are slower that APIs
 Observing visible GUI state is difficult
 Observing invisible GUI state is tricky almost impossible
 Controlling GUI actions is difficult

17. List the automated GUI testing tools. (2 Marks)

DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

UNIT 1 – SIGNALS AND SYSTEMS
Part A

1. What is a continuous and discrete time signal?

Continuous time signal: A signal x(t) is said to be continuous if it is defined for

all time t. Continuous time signal arise naturally when a physical waveform such as
acoustics wave or light wave is converted into a electrical signal.

Discrete time signal: A discrete time signal is defined only at discrete instants
of time. The independent variable has discrete values only, which are uniformly spaced.
A discrete time signal is often derived from the continuous time signal by sampling it at
a uniform rate.

2. Give the classification of signals?

x Continuous-time and discrete time signals x Even and odd signals

x Periodic signals and non-periodic signals x Deterministic signal and Random
signal x Energy and Power signal

3. What are the types of systems?

Continuous time and discrete time systems

x Linear and Non-linear systems

x Causal and Non-causal systems

x Static and Dynamic systems

x Time varying and time in-varying systems

x Distributive parameters and Lumped parameters systems

x Stable and Un-stable systems.

4. What are even and odd signals?

Even signal: continuous time signal x(t) is said to be even if it satisfies the
condition x(t)=x(-t) for all values of t.

Odd signal: he signal x(t) is said to be odd if it satisfies the condition x(-t)=-x(t)
for all t. In other words even signal is symmetric about the time origin or the vertical
axis, but odd signals are anti-symmetric about the vertical axis.

5. What are deterministic and random signals?

Deterministic Signal: deterministic signal is a signal about which there is no

certainty with respect to its value at any time. Accordingly, we find that deterministic
signals may be modeled as completely specified functions of time.

Random signal: random signal is a signal about which there is uncertainty

before its actual occurrence. (e.g.) The noise developed in a television or radio amplifier
is an example for random signal.

6. What are energy and power signal?

Energy signal: Signal is referred as an energy signal, if and only if the total
energy of the signal satisfies the condition 0<E<∞.

Power signal: Signal is said to be power signal if it satisfies the condition

0<P<∞.

7. What are elementary signals and name them?

The elementary signals serve as a building block for the construction of more complex
signals. They are also important in their own right, in that they may be used to model
many physical signals that occur in nature.

There are five elementary signals. They are as follows

x Unit step function

x Unit impulse function

x Ramp function

x Exponential function

x Sinusoidal function
8. What are time invariant systems?

A system is said to be time invariant system if a time delay or advance of the

input signal leads to an identical shift in the output signal. This implies that a time
invariant system responds identically no matter when the input signal is applied. It also
satisfies the condition

R{x (n-k)} = y (n-k).

9. What do you mean by periodic and non-periodic signals?

A signal is said to be periodic if x (n + N) = x (n), Where N is the

time period. A signal is said to be non-periodic if x (n + N) = -x (n).

10. Define time variant and time invariant system.

A system is called time invariant if its output, input characteristics does not
change with time. A system is called time variant if its input, output characteristics
changes with time.

11. Define linear and non-linear system.

Linear system is one which satisfies superposition principle. Superposition

principle:

The response of a system to a weighted sum of signals be equal to the corresponding

weighted sum of responses of system to each of individual input signal.

i.e., T [a1x1(n)+a2x2(n)]=a1T[x1(n)]+a2T[x2(n)]

A system, which does not satisfy superposition principle, is known as non-linear

system.

12. Define causal and non-causal system.

The system is said to be causal if the output of the system at any time ‘n’
depends only on present and past inputs but does not depend on the future inputs.
e.g.:- y (n) =x (n)-x (n-1)

A system is said to be non-causal if a system does not satisfy the above

definition.
13. What are the steps involved in calculating convolution sum?

The steps involved in calculating sum are

x Folding

x Shifting

x Multiplication

x Summation

14. Define causal LTI system.

The LTI system is said to be causal if h (n) = 0 for n < 0

15. Define stable LTI system.

The LTI system is said to be stable if its impulse response is absolutely

summable.

16. What are the properties of convolution sum?

The properties of convolution sum are

x Commutative property

The commutative law can be expressed as x (n) * h (n)=h (n) * x (n)

x Associative law

The associative law can be expressed as [x (n) * h1 (n)] * h2 (n) = x (n)

[h1 (n) * h2 (n)] Where x (n) – input, h1 (n), h2 (n) - impulse response

x Distributive law

The distributive law can be expressed as

x (n) * [h1 (n) + h2 (n)] = x (n) * h1 (n) + x (n) * h2 (n)

17. Define Region of convergence

The region of convergence (ROC) of X (Z) is the set of all values of Z for
which X (Z) attain final value.
18. State properties of ROC

x The ROC does not contain any poles.

x When x (n) is of finite duration then ROC is entire Z-plane except Z = 0 or Z =

∞

x If X (Z) is causal, then ROC includes Z = ∞

x If X (Z) is non-casual, then ROC includes Z = 0

19. Continuous time and Discrete time signals.

5. Define circular convolution

Let x1(n) and x2(n) are finite duration sequences both of length N with DFTs X1 (k) and
X2

(k). If X3(k) = X1(k) X2(k) then the sequence x3(n) can be obtained by circular convolution
defined as

4. How to obtain the output sequence of linear convolution through circular convolution

Consider two finite duration sequences x (n) and h (n) of duration L samples and M
samples. The linear convolution of these two sequences produces an output sequence of duration
L+M-1 samples. Whereas, the circular convolution of x(n) and h(n) give N samples where
N=max(L,M).In order to obtain the number of samples in circular convolution equal to L+M-1,
both x(n) and h(n) must be appended with appropriate number of zero valued samples. In other
words by increasing the length of the sequences x (n) and h(n) to L+M-1 points and then
circularly convolving the resulting sequences we obtain the same result as that of linear
convolution.
5. What is zero padding? What are its uses?

Let the sequence x (n) has a length L. If we want to find the N-point DFT (N>L) of the
sequence x (n), we have to add (N-L) zeros to the sequence x (n). This is known as zero padding.
The uses of zero padding are

We can get better display of the frequency spectrum.

With zero padding, the DFT can be used in linear
filtering.

6. Define sectional convolution.

If the data sequence x (n) is of long duration it is very difficult to obtain the output
sequence y(n) due to limited memory of a digital computer. Therefore, the data sequence is
divided up into smaller sections. These sections are processed separately one at a time and
controlled later to get the output.

7. What are the two methods used for the sectional convolution?

The two methods used for the sectional convolution are

1) The overlap-add method and 2) overlap-save method.

8. What is overlap-add method?

In this method the size of the input data block xi (n) is L. To each data block we append
M-1 zeros and perform N point cicular convolution of xi (n) and h(n). Since each data block is
terminated with M-1 zeros the last M-1 points from each output block must be overlapped and
added to first M-1 points of the succeeding blocks.This method is called overlap-add method.

9. What is overlap-save method?

In this method, the data sequence is divided into N point sections xi (n). Each section
contains the last M-1 data points of the previous section, followed by L new data points to form a
data sequence of length N=L+M-1. In circular convolution of xi (n) with h (n) the first M-1
points will not agree with the linear convolution of xi(n) and h(n) because of aliasing, the
remaining points will agree with linear convolution. Hence we discard the first (M-1) points of
filtered section xi (n) N h

(n). This process is repeated for all sections and the filtered sections are abutted together.

10. Why FFT is needed?

The direct evaluation DFT requires N2 complex multiplications and N2 –N complex

additions. Thus for large values of N direct evaluation of the DFT is difficult. By using FFT
algorithm, the number of complex computations can be reduced. Therefore, we use FFT.
11. What is FFT?

The Fast Fourier Transform is an algorithm used to compute the DFT. It makes use of the
symmetry and periodicity properties of twiddle factor to effectively reduce the DFT computation
time. It is based on the fundamental principle of decomposing the computation of DFT of a
sequence of length N into successively smaller DFTs.

12. How many multiplications and additions are required to compute N point DFT using
radix-2 FFT?
The number of multiplications and additions required to compute N point DFT using
radix-2 FFT are N log2 N and N/2 log2 N respectively.

13. What is meant by radix-2 FFT?

The FFT algorithm is most efficient in calculating N point DFT. If the number of output
points N can be expressed as a power of 2 that is N = 2M, where M is an integer, then this
algorithm is known as radix-2 algorithm.

14. What is DIT algorithm?

Decimation-In-Time algorithm is used to calculate the DFT of an N point sequence. The

idea is to break the N point sequence into two sequences, the DFTs of which can be combined to
give the DFT of the original N point sequence. This algorithm is called DIT because the
sequence x (n) is often splitted into smaller sub- sequences.

15. What is DIF algorithm?

It is a popular form of the FFT algorithm. In this the output sequence X (k) is divided
into smaller and smaller sub-sequences, that is why the name Decimation - In - Frequency.

16. What are the applications of FFT algorithm?

The applications of FFT algorithm includes

Linear filtering

Correlation

Spectrum analysis

17. Why the computations in FFT algorithm is said to be in place?

Once the butterfly operation is performed on a pair of complex numbers (a, b) to

produce (A, B), there is no need to save the input pair. We can store the result (A, B) in the
same locations as (a, b). Since the same storage locations are used throughout the computation,
we say that the computations are done in place.

18. Distinguish between linear convolution and circular convolution of two sequences.

Linear convolution Circular convolution

If x(n) is a sequence of L number of samples If x(n) is a sequence of L number of samples
and h(n) with M number of samples, after and h(n) with M samples, after convolution
convolution y(n) will have N=L+M-1 samples. y(n) will have N=max(L,M) samples.

It can be used to find the response of a linear It cannot be used to find the response of a filter
filter
Zero padding is not necessary to find the Zero padding is necessary to find the response
response of a linear filter.

19. What are the differences and similarities between DIF and DIT algorithms?

Differences:
1) The input is bit reversed while the output is in natural order for DIT, whereas for DIF
the output is bit reversed while the input is in natural order.

2) The DIF butterfly is slightly different from the DIT butterfly, the difference being that
the complex multiplication takes place after the add-subtract operation in DIF.
Similarities:
Both algorithms require same number of operations to compute the DFT. Both algorithms can
be done in place and both need to perform bit reversal at some place during the computation.

20. What are differences between overlap-save and overlap-add methods.

Overlap-save method Overlap-add method

In this method the size of the input data In this method the size of the input data

UNIT III IIR FILTER DESIGN

1. What are the different types of filters based on impulse response?

Based on impulse response the filters are of two types

1. IIR filter
2. FIR filter
The IIR filters are of recursive type, whereby the present output sample depends on the
present input, past input samples and output samples.
The FIR filters are of non recursive type, whereby the present output sample depends
on the present input sample and previous input samples.

2. What are the different types of filters based on frequency response?

Based on frequency response the filters can be classified as

Lowpass filter
Highpass filter
Bandpass filter
Bandreject filter
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of FIR filters?

Advantages:
a. FIR filters have exact linear phase.
b. FIR filters are always stable.
c. FIR filters can be realized in both recursive and non recursive structure.
d. Filters with any arbitrary magnitude response can be tackled using FIR sequence.
Disadvantages:

x For the same filter specifications the order of FIR filter design can be as high as 5 to
10 times that in an IIR design.

x Large storage requirement is requirement

x Powerful computational facilities required for the implementation.

4. How one can design digital filters from analog filters?

Errors due to round off noise are less severe in The round off noise in IIR filters is more.
FIR filters, mainly because feedback is not
used.

7. What do you understand by backward difference?

 One of the simplest methods for converting an analog filter into a digital filter is to
approximate the differential equation by an equivalent difference equation.

d/dt y(t)=y(nT)-y(nT-
T)/T The above equation is called backward difference
equation.

8. What is the mapping procedure between S-plane & Z-plane in the method of mapping
differentials? What are its characteristics?
The mapping procedure between S-plane & Z-plane in the method of mapping of
differentials is given by

H(Z) =H(S)|S=(1-Z-1)/T
The above mapping has the following characteristics
· The left half of S-plane maps inside a circle of radius ½ centered at Z= ½ in the
Zplane.

· The right half of S-plane maps into the region outside the circle of radius ½ in the
Z-plane.
ii) The j .-axis maps onto the perimeter of the circle of radius ½ in the Z-plane.

(c) What is meant by impulse invariant method of designing IIR filter?

In this method of digitizing an analog filter, the impulse response of the resulting
digital filter is a sampled version of the impulse response of the analog filter. If the transfer
function is of the form, 1/s-p, then

(z) =1/1-e-pTz-1

10. What is bilinear transformation?

The bilinear transformation is a mapping that transforms the left half of S-plane into
the unit circle in the Z-plane only once, thus avoiding aliasing of frequency components. The
mapping from the S-plane to the Z-plane is in bilinear transformation is

S=2/T(1-Z-1/1+Z-1)

11. What are the properties of bilinear transformation?

· The mapping for the bilinear transformation is a one-to-one mapping that is for every
point Z, there is exactly one corresponding point S, and vice-versa.

· The j .-axis maps on to the unit circle |z|=1,the left half of the s-plane maps to the
interior of the unit circle |z|=1 and the half of the s-plane maps on to the exterior of
the unit circle |z|=1.
12. Write a short note on pre-warping.

The effect of the non-linear compression at high frequencies can be compensated.

When the desired magnitude response is piece-wise constant over frequency, this compression
can be compensated by introducing a suitable pre-scaling, or pre-warping the critical
frequencies by using the formula.

13. What are the advantages & disadvantages of bilinear transformation?

Advantages:
· The bilinear transformation provides one-to-one mapping.
· Stable continuous systems can be mapped into realizable, stable digital systems.
· There is no aliasing.
Disadvantage:
· The mapping is highly non-linear producing frequency, compression at high
frequencies.

· Neither the impulse response nor the phase response of the analog filter is preserved in
a digital filter obtained by bilinear transformation.

The phase distortion is introduced when the phase characteristics of a filter is nonlinear
within the desired frequency band. The delay distortion is introduced when the delay is not
constant within the desired frequency band.

5. List the disadvantages of FIR FILTER

The duration of impulse response should be large to realize sharp cutoff filters. The non
integral delay can lead to problems in some signal processing applications.

6. Define necessary and sufficient condition for the linear phase characteristic of a FIR
filter?

The phase function should be a linear function of w, which in turn requires constant
group delay and phase delay.

7. For what kind of application, the anti-symmetrical impulse response can be used?
The anti-symmetrical impulse response can be used to design Hilbert transforms and

differentiators.
9. For what kind of application, the symmetrical impulse response can be used?

The impulse response, which is symmetric having odd number of samples, can be used
to design all types of filters, i.e., lowpass, highpass, bandpass and band reject. The symmetric
impulse response having even number of samples can be used to design lowpass and bandpass
filter.

10. Justify that that FIR filter is always stable?

FIR filter is always stable because all its poles are at the origin.
11. What condition on the FIR sequence h(n) are to be imposed in order that this filter
can be called a linear phase filter?

(ii) Antisymmetric condition h(n) = -h(N-1-n)
12. Under what conditions a finite duration sequence h(n) will yield constant group delay
in its frequency response characteristics and not the phase delay?
If the impulse response is anti symmetrical, satisfying the condition H(n)=-h(N-1-n)
The frequency response of FIR filter will have constant group delay and not the phase delay.
13. What are the properties of FIR filter?

2. A realizable filter can always be obtained.
3. FIR filter has a linear phase response.
14. When cascade from realization is preferred in FIR filters?
The cascade from realization is preferred when complex zeros with absolute magnitude
less than one.

15. What are the disadvantages of Fourier series method?

In designing FIR filter using Fourier series method the infinite duration impulse
response is truncated at n= ± (N-1/2).Direct truncation of the series will lead to fixed percentage
overshoots and undershoots before and after an approximated discontinuity in the frequency
response .
16. Define Gibbs phenomenon? OR What are Gibbs oscillations?
One possible way of finding an FIR filter that approximates H(ejw)would be to truncate
the infinite Fourier series at n= ± (N-1/2).Abrupt truncation of the series will lead to oscillation
both in pass band and is stop band .This phenomenon is known as Gibbs phenomenon.

17. Give the desirable characteristics of the windows?

The desirable characteristics of the window are
1. The central lobe of the frequency response of the window should contain
most of the energy and should be narrow.
2. The highest side lobe level of the frequency response should be small.
3. The side lobes of the frequency response should decrease in energy rapidly as w tends to p.
18. What is the necessary and sufficient condition for linear phase
characteristics in FIR filter?
The necessary and sufficient condition for linear phase characteristics in FIR filter is the
impulse response h (n) of the system should have the symmetry property, i.e, H(n) = h(N-1-n)
Where N is the duration of the sequence

19. What are the advantages of Kaiser Widow?

· It provides flexibility for the designer to select the side lobe level and N.
· It has the attractive property that the side lobe level can be varied continuously from the low
value in the Blackman window to the high value in the rectangle window.
20. What is the principle of designing FIR filter using frequency sampling method?

In frequency sampling method the desired magnitude response is sampled and a linear phase
response is specified .The samples of desired frequency response are defined as DFT
coefficients. The filter coefficients are then determined as the IDFT of this set of samples.

21. For what type of filters frequency sampling method is suitable?

Frequency sampling method is attractive for narrow band frequency selective filters

24. What do you understand by Linear Phase Response in filters?
In linear phase filter ( ) α , the linear phase filter does not alter the shape of the original
signal. If phase response of the filter is nonlinear the output signal is distorted one. In many
cases Linear Phase filter is required throughout the passband of the filter to preserve the shape
of the given signal within the pass band. An IIR filter cannot produce a linear phase. The FIR
filter can give linear phase, when the impulse response of the filter is symmetric about its
midpoint.

25. State Frequency Warping

Because of the non-linear mapping: the amplitude response of digital IIR filter is expand at
lower frequencies and compressed at higher frequencies in comparison to the analog filter.

26. What is the importance of poles in filter design?

The stability of a filter is related to the location of the poles. For a stable analog filter the poles
should lie on the left half of s-plane. For a stable digital filter the poles should lie inside the unit
circle in the z-plane.

requires to program both sender and receiver to access different users with different codes.

5. Define CDMA.
Code Division Multiple Access systems use codes with certain characteristics to separate
different users. To enable access to the shared medium without interference. The users use the
same frequency and time to transmit data. The main problem is to find good codes and to
separate this signal from noise. The good code can be found the following 2 characteristic
1.Orthogonal. 2. Autocorrelation.

6. What is SDMA?
Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) is used for allocating separated spaces to users in
wireless networks. The basis for the SDMA algorithm is formed by cells and sector zed antennas
which constitute the infrastructure implementing space division multiplexing (SDM).

7. What is FDD?
In FDMA, the base station and the mobile station establish a duplex channel. The two directions,
mobile station to base station and vice versa are separated using different frequencies. This
Scheme is called Frequency Division Duplex (FDD)

8. What limits the number of user in TDM and FDM compared to CDM?
The code space is huge compared to the frequency space and time space. Because of the limited
time space and frequency space, the number of user in TDM and FDM are limited.

9. How does near and far effect influence CDMA? What are counter measurements?
The near and far effect is a server problem of wireless networks using CDM. All signals should
arrive at the receiver with more or less the same strength. Precise power control is needed to

14. Differentiate soft and hard handoff. (May 2016).

Hard handoff mode is characterized by a mobile having a radio link with only AP at any time.
Thus, the old connection is terminated before a new connection is activated. This mode of

Orthogonality mean if we have “n” users and n-bit sequences, then a set of vectors in n-space
are orthogonal if any point in n-space may be expressed as only linear combination of these
vectors.
CDMA is a communication technique that allows multiple users to communicate over one
frequency. This is achieved through the use of spreading codes, whereby a single data bit is
spread over a longer sequence of transmitted bits. These codes known as chip sequence, must be
carefully chosen so that data may be correctly despread at the receiver. Such codes are known as
orthogonal codes.

20. Define Set-up time.

than analog systems. CDMA also have better security and higher data and voice transmission
quality because of the spread spectrum technology it uses, which has increased resistance to
multipath distortion. CDMA has greater coverage area when compared to FDMA. The main
advantage of the CDMA is that, in the single detection method it is more flexible than FDMA or
joint detection. CDMA is said to have higher capacity than FDMA.

Greater noise immunity, Robustness to channel impairments, Easier multiplexing of various

forms of information, Greater security

4. What is meant by Amplitude shift keying?

Amplitude shift keying.

5. What is meant by Frequency shift keying?

If the frequency of the sinusoidal carrier frequency is varied depending on the incoming digital
signal, then it is called Frequency shift keying.

6. What is meant by Phase shift keying?

If phase of the carrier is varied depending on the input digital signal, then it is called
phase shift keying.

7. Define M-ary transmission system,

In digital modulation instead of transmitting one bit at a time, two or more bits are transmitted
simultaneously. This is called M-ary transmission.
8. What is Quadrature modulation?

Sometimes two or more Quadrature carriers are used for modulation. It is called
Quadrature modulation.

9. Explain the following terms a) Baud rate b) Bit rate

Baud rate: Speed at which symbols are transmitted in a digital communication system,
i.e. no of symbols/second.

Bit rate: Speed at which data bits is transmitted in a digital communication system, i.e. no of
bits/sec.

10.What is QAM?

At high bit rates, a combination of ASK and PSK is employed in order to minimize the errors in
the received data. This method is known as Quadrature amplitude modulation.

11. What is meant by QPSK?

QPSK is a multi-level modulation in which four phase shifts are used for
representing four different symbols.

12. What is linear modulation?

In linear modulation technique, the amplitude of the transmitted (carrier) signal varies linearly
with the modulating digital signal. In general, linear modulation does not have a constant
envelope.

13. Write the merits of linear modulation.

Bandwidth efficient, Very attractive for use in wireless communication systems, Accommodate
more and more users within a limited spectrum.

14. What is nonlinear modulation?

In nonlinear modulation, the amplitude of the carrier is constant regardless of the variation in the
modulating signal.

15. Mention the merits and demerits of

nonlinear modulation.
Merits:

a. Lower efficient class c amplifiers can be used without introducing

degradation in the spectrum occupancy of the transmitted signal.
b. Low out of band radiation of the order of -60dB to -70dB can be achieved.

c. Limiter-discriminator detection can be used, which simplifies receiver design and provides
high immunity against random FM noise and signal fluctuations due to Rayleigh fading.
Demerits:
a. Constant envelope modulations occupy a larger bandwidth than linear modulation scheme

b. In situations where bandwidth efficiency is more important than power efficiency, constant
Envelope modulation is not well suited.

16. What is the advantage of MSK over QPSK?

In QPSK the phase changes by 90 or 180 degrees. This creates abrupt amplitude variations in the
waveform. Therefore bandwidth requirement of QPSK is more. MSK overcomes this problem.
In MSK, the output waveform is continuous in phase hence there are no abrupt changes in
amplitude.
17. Why MSK is called as fast FSK? (May 2016).

MSK is called fast FSK, as the frequency spacing used is only half as much as that used in
conventional non-coherent FSK.

18. Mention some merits of MSK.

Constant envelope, Spectral efficiency, Good BER performance, Self-synch on z g capability

19. Why MSK cannot be directly used in multi user communications?

1. The main lobe of MSK is wide. This makes MSK unsuitable for the applications
where extremely narrow bandwidths and sharp cut-offs are required.

2. Slow decay of MSK power spectral density curve creates adjacent channel
interference. Hence MSK cannot be used for multiuser communications.

20. What is the need of Gaussian filter? (Dec 13)

Gaussian filters used before the modulator to reduce the transmitted bandwidth of the signal. It
uses less bandwidth than conventional FSK.
21. Define M-ary FSK.

In M-ary system, M=2N different symbols are used and N no of bits per symbol. Every symbol
uses separate frequency for transmission.
 22. Mention any two criteria for choosing a
modulation technique for a specific wireless
application? (June 2013)

The spectral efficiency of the modulation format should be as high as possible. This can best be
achieved by a higher order modulation format. This allows the transmission of many data bits
with each symbol. Adjacent channel interference must be small. This entails that the power
spectrum of the signal should show a strong roll-off outside the desired band. Furthermore, the
signal must be filtered before transmission.

23. Define cyclic prefix.

In OFDM, delay dispersion leads to a loss of orthogonality between the subcarriers and thus
leads to Inter Carrier Interference (ICI). These negative effects can be eliminated by a special
type of guard interval called the cyclic prefix.

24. Define Windowing.(May 2016).

Windowing is a technique proposed to help reduce sensitivity to frequency offsets in an
OFDM
system. This process involves cyclically extending the time domain signal with each symbol
by ‘v’ samples. The resulting signal is then shaped with a window function.
25. Define PAPR.

The peak to average power ratio PAPR is an important attribute of a communication system. A
low PAPR allows the transmit power amplifier to operate efficiently, whereas a high PAPR
forces the transmit power amplifier to have a large back off in order to ensure linear
amplification of the signal.

o e independently faded version of the transmitted signal.

5. Define spatial diversity.

The most common diversity technique is called spatial diversity, whereby multiple a tennas are
strategically spaced and connected to a common receiving system. While one antenna sees a
signal null, one of the other antennas may see a signal peak, and the receiver is able to select the
antenna with the best signals at any time.

6. What is equalizer? (Dec 2013)

The device which equalizes the dispersive effect of a channel is referred to as an equalizer.

7. What are the operating modes available in an adaptive

equalizer? Training and tracking modes.

8. Define adaptive equalizer.(May 2016).

To combat ISI, the equalizer coefficients should change according to the channel status so as to
track the channel variations. Such an equalizer is called an adaptive equalizer since it adapts to
the channel variations.
9. What is training mode in an adaptive equalizer?

First, a known fixed length training sequence is sent by the transmitter, then the receiver's
equalizer may adapt to a proper setting of minimum bit error rate detection, where the training
sequence is pseudorandom binary signal or a fixed and prescribed bit pattern.

10. What is tracking mode in an adaptive equalizer?

Immediately following the training sequence, the user data is sent, and the adaptive equalizer at
the receiver utilizes a recursive algorithm to evaluate the channel and estimate filter coefficients
to compensate for the distortion created by multipath in the channel.

11. Write a short note on i) linear equalizers ii) non-linear equalizers

If the output is not used in the feedback path to adapt, then this type of equalizer is called linear
equalizer. If the output is fed back to change the subsequent outputs of the equalizer, this type of
equalizer is called
nonlinear equalizers.

12. Write the advantages of lattice equalizer.

It is simplest and easily available, Numerical stability, Faster convergence, Unique structure of
the lattice filter allows the dynamic assignment of the most effective length of the lattice
equalizer and When the channel becomes more time dispersive, the length of the equalizer can be
increased by the algorithm without stopping the operation of the equalizer.

13. Why nonlinear equalizers are preferred?

The linear equalizers are very effective in equalizing channels where ISI is not severe. The
severity of ISI is directly related to the spectral characteristics. In this case there are spectral
nulls in the transfer function of the effective channel; the additive noise at the receiver input will
be dramatically enhanced by the linear equalizer. To overcome this problem, nonlinear
equalizers can be used.

14. What are the nonlinear equalization methods used?

Decision feedback equalization (DFE), Maximum likelihood symbol detection and Maximum
likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE).

the bit error probability.
19. Explain Diversity concept.

If one radio path undergoes a deep fade, another independent path may have a strong signal. By
having more than one path to select from, both the instantaneous and average SNRs at the
receiver may be improved.

version of the received signal is selected and given as output.

23. State the principle of diversity.(June 2013)

Diversity: It is the technique used to compensate for fading channel impairments. It is

implemented by using two or more receiving antennas. While Equalization is used to counter the
effects of ISI, Diversity is usually employed to reduce the depth and duration of the fades

UNIT V MULTIPLE ANTENNA TECHNIQUES

PART A

1. What is Beamforming?

The multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver can be used to obtain array and diversity
gain instead of capacity gain. In this setting the same symbol weighted by a complex scale factor
is sent over each transmit antenna, so that the input covariance matrix has u it rank. This scheme
is also referred to as MIMO beamforming.

2. What are the advantages of Beamforming?

Beamforming provides diversity and array gain via coherent combining of the multiple signal
paths.

3. What is multiplexing gain?

Multiple antennas are used to improve wireless system performance. One option is to obtain
capacity gain by decomposing the MIMO channel into parallel channels and multiplexing
different data str ams onto these channels.This capacity gain is also referred to as multiplexing
gain.

4. Define Transmitter diversity.(May 2016).

In transmit diversity there are multiple transmit antennas, and the transmit power is divided
among these antennas. Transmit diversity is desirable in systems where more space,power,and
processing capability is available on the transmit side than on the receive side.Transmit diversity
design depends on whether or not the complex channel gain is known to the transmitter.

5. What is RAKE receiver?

A more complicated receiver can have several branches, with each branch synchronized to a
different multipath component .This structure is called a RAKE receiver, and it assumes there is
a multipath component at each integer multiple of a chip time.
6. Write the advantages of RAKE receiver.
RAKE’s provide a simple mechanism to obtain diversity benefits.When spreadspectrum
signalling is chosen for its other benefits such as multiuser or interference rejection capabilities.
7. Explain the concept of Rake receiver.

In Multipath environment, if the multiple versions of the signal arrive more than one chip
interval apart from each other. The receiver can recover the signal from multiple paths and then
combine them with suitable delays. This method achieves better performance than simply
recovering dominant signal and treating remaining signals as noise.

8. What are MIMO systems?(May 2016).

Systems with multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver,which are commonly referred to
as multiple-
input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The multiple antennas can be used to increase data rates
through multiplexing or to improve performance through diversity.

9. Draw the MIMO model.

Mt transmit antenna and Mr receive antennas.

10. Write the advantages of MIMO systems.

i. Multiple-input multiple-output systems can significantly enhance performance of wireless

systems through multiplexing or diversity gain.

ii. For a given transmit energy per bit, multiplexing gain provides a higher data rate
whereas diversity gain provides a lower BER in fading.

iii. Support a higher data rate for a given energy per bit, so it transmits the bits more
quickly and can then shut down to save energy.

11. Write the disadvantages of MIMO systems.

i. MIMO systems entail significantly more circuit energy consumption than their single antenna
counterparts, because separate circuitry is required for each antenna signal path.
 ii. Signal processing associated with MIMO can
be highly complex. 12. Mention the
applications of MIMO systems.

i. MIMO can reliably connect devices in home, such as computer networking

devices, cabled video devices, phone lines, music, storage devices etc.

ii. The IEEE 802.16e standard and the IEEE 802.11n standard also use MIMO
system.
iii. MIMO is used in mobile radio telephone standard such as 3GPP and 3GPP2
standard.
3GPP High Speed Packet Access Plus (HSPA+) and Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard use
MIMO.
13. How does spatial multiplexing work?

Spatial multiplexing uses MEA’s (Multiple element antennas) at the transmitter for
transmission of data streams. An original high-rate DataStream is multiplexed into several
parallel streams, each of which is sent from one transmit antenna element. The channel mixes up
these data streams so that each of the receive antenna elements sees a combination of them.
14. State the importance of spatial multiplexing.

The basic premise of spatial multiplexing is to send Mt independent symbols per symbol period
using the dimensions of space and time. To obtain full diversity order, an encoded bit stream
must be transmitted over all Mt transmit antennas. This can be done through serial encoding.

15. What is transmit diversity?

In transmit diversity more antennas are used on the transmitter side than on the receiver

side.Transmit diversity is used to reduce the effect of fading. In transmit diversity the same
information is transmitted from two different antennas. Data from the second antenna is encoded
differently to differentiate it from the first antenna. This can be done to able the user equipment
on the receiver side to identify that the information is coming from the different locations and
properly decode it. Space-time coding is used to create redundant signals.

16. What are smart antennas and MIMO systems?

A MIMO system consists of several antenna elements, plus adaptive signal processing at both
transmitter and receiver, the combination of which exploits the spatial dimension of the mobile
radio channel. A smart antenna system is a system that has multiple antenna elements only at one
link end.
17. What is array gain?
Array gain is defined as the average increase in the SNR and depends on the number of
transmit
and receive antennas. Transmit/Receive array gain needs channel information in the transmitter
and receiver respectively. Channel information is typically available in the receiver whereas the
channel state information in the transmitter is more difficult to maintain in general.
18. What is diversity gain?
Diversity is a powerful technique to reduce fading effect in wireless communications. Diversity
gain is

defined as the reduction in the probability of error due to multiple independent paths produced
between the transmitter and receiver. In other words if there are M transmits, N receive antennas,
the order of diversity is M.N. There is no diversity gain if the medium is line of sight channel.
19. What is multiplexing gain?

ultiplexing gain is defined as the increase in the data rate; since independent data streams are
send through independent paths between multiple transmitters and multiple receivers. In other
words if there are M (&gt; 1) transmit antennas and N (&gt; 1) receive antennas, the increase in
the data rate is min (M, N)-fold
20. What is meant by co-phasing?
“Co-phase the signals” means that we need to multiply signals by ejɸi for some constant
phase angle ɸi on channel i, so that the (otherwise random) phases of the signals on the
different channels line up. If wdon’t

co-phase the signals before combining them, we end up with the multipath fading problem
signals sometimes add together destructively. Without co-phasing, the branch signals would not
add up coherently in the combiner, so the resulting output could still exhibit significant fading
due to constructive and destructive addition of the signals in all the branches.

21. Describe threshold combining.

Selection combining for systems that transmit continuously may require a dedicated receiver on
each branch to continuously monitor branch SNR. A simpler type of combining, called threshold
combining,

avoids the need for a dedicated receiver on each branch by scanning each of the branches in
sequential order and outputting the first signal whose SNR is above a given threshold γT .
As in SC, co-phasing is not

required because only one branch output is used at a time. Hence this technique can be used with
either coherent or differential modulation.

22. Define channel capacity of MIMO system.

A very important factor for the profitability of a wireless networks is its capacity. MIMO system
provides high capacity by using multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver end of the
radio link. Multiple antennas are used to improve the capacity over SISO system when operated
in multi-path environment. MIMO system capacity is me sured in bits per second per hertz and is
bounded by Shannon Hartley capacity. But it has become app rent that MIMO system can exceed
the Shannon Hartley limit of SISO depending on the channel properties and the number of
antennas.
23. What is Precoding.

Pre-coding is generalized to allow multi-layer transmission in MIMO systems. As conventional

beamforming considers as linear single layer pre-coding , increasing the signal power at the
output of the receiver by emitting the same signal from each of the transmit antennas with
suitable weighting. When multiple antennas are used at the receiver, the signal levels are
maximized simultaneously at all of the

multiple receive antennas, so in that case pre-coding is used for multi-layer beamforming to
increase the throughput performance of a multiple receive antennas. In pre-coding the transmit
antennas transmit the multiple streams with independent and suitable weighting per ach ante a
such that higher link throughput is obtained at the receiver output
24. What is Alamouti’s scheme?
Alamouti’s scheme is designed for a digital communication system with two-antenna.Trasmit
diversity. The scheme works over two symbol periods and it is assumed that the Channel gain is
constant over his time. Over the first symbol period, two different symbolsS1 and S2 (each with
energy Es/2) are
transmitted simultaneously from antennas 1 and 2, respectively. Over the next symbol period,
symbol −S*2 is

transmitted from antenna 1 and symbol S*1 is transmitted from antenna 2, each again with
symbol energy Es/2.

25. What is Antenna Diversity? (Dec 2015)

Antenna Diversity or Space Diversity or Spatial Diversity can be given as the diversity scheme
followed in wireless communications to overcome multipath fading. More than one antenna are
used for transmission and reception, and the main concept behind this method is the signals
transmitted by different antennas undergo different fading and there is at least one robust version
of the signal being received. This method requires more sophisticated hardware for
synchronisation.

textarea, fieldset, legend, and label elements.The <form> tag is used to create an HTML form:
<form> .input elements .</form>

5. What is Document type declaration(DTD)

HTML documents are required to start with a Document Type Declaration (informally, a
"doctype"). In browsers, the doctype helps to define the rendering mode—particularly whether to
use quirks mode.An example of an HTML 4 doctype is
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
6. Compare SGML-based versus XML-based HTML
The XML-based specification is usually called XHTML to distinguish it clearly from the more
traditional definition. However, the root element name continues to be 'html' even in the
XHTML-specified HTML. The W3C intended XHTML 1.0 to be identical to HTML 4.01 except
where limitations of XML over the more complex SGML require workarounds. Because
XHTML and HTML are closely related, they are sometimes documented in parallel.

7. What is SGML ?Standard Generalized Markup Language

 HTML is an instance of SGML.
 SGML was invented beginning in the mid-1970s by Charles Goldfarb at IBM

WIDTH=\"25\" HEIGHT=\"25\" ALIGN=\"top\" BORDER=\"0\" ALT=\"link to
wildlife\"></A>
14.What is CSS?
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a slightly misleading term, since a website might have only one
CSS file (style sheet), or the CSS might be embedded within an HTML file. It is better to think
of CSS as a technology (in the singular). CSS is comprised of statements that control the styling
of HTML documents. Simply put, an HTML document should convey content. A CSS document
should control the styling of that content.

15. What is the purpose of CSS Box Model and mention its parts also.

21. What are Style Sheets?

Style sheets are collections of style information that are applied to plain text. Style information
includes font attributes such as type size, special effects (bold,italic,underline), color and
alignment. Style sheets also provide broader formatting instructions by specifying values for
quantities such as line spacing and left and right margins.

22. List down the ways of including style information in a document.

1.Linked Styles -Style information is read from a separate file that is specified in the

<STYLE> and </STYLE> tags.
3.Inline Styles -Style information is placed inside an HTML tag and applies to all content
between that tag and it companion closing tag.

23. Define cascading.

Cascading refers to a certain set of rules that browsers use, in cascading order, to determine how
to use the style information. Such a set of rules is useful in the event of conflicting style
information because the rules would give the browser a way to determine which style is given
precedence.

24. What are the style precedence rules when using multiple approaches?
Inline styles override both linked style sheets and style information stored in the document head
with <STYLE> tag.
Styles defined in the document head override linked style sheets.
Linked style sheets override browser defaults.
25. Give the syntax to specify a characteristic in linked style sheet.

to data from another source such as database or comma delimited text file.

31. What is meant by Plug-in?

A hardware or software module that adds a specific feature or service to a larger system. The
idea is that the new component simply plugs in to the existing system. For example, there are
number of plug-ins for the Netscape Navigator browser that enable it todisplay different types of
audio or video messages. Navigator plug-ins are based on MIME filetypes.

32. Mention The Types Of Scripting Languages

 JavaScript is a Scripting language (web site development environment) created by

 UNIT II- JAVA

1. What is meant by Object Oriented Programming?

OOP is a method of programming in which programs are organised as cooperative
collections of objects. Each object is an instance of a class and each class belong to a
hierarchy.

2.What is a Class?
Class is a template for a set of objects that share a common structure and a common
behaviour.
3. What is an Object?
Object is an instance of a class. It has state,behaviour and identity. It is also called as an
instance of a class.

4. What is an Instance?
An instance has state, behaviour and identity. The structure and behaviour of similar
classes are defined in their common class. An instance is also called as an object.

5. What are the core OOP’s concepts?

Abstraction, Encapsulation,Inheritance and Polymorphism are the core OOP’s concepts.

6. What is meant by abstraction?

Abstraction defines the essential characteristics of an object that distinguish it from all
other kinds of objects. Abstraction provides crisply-defined conceptual boundaries relative
to the perspective of the viewer. Its the process of focussing on the essential characteristics
of an object. Abstraction is one of the fundamental elements of the object model.

7. What is meant by Encapsulation?

Encapsulation is the process of compartment alising the elements of an abtraction that
defines the structure and behaviour. Encapsulation helps to separate the contractual
interface of an abstraction and implementation.

8. What are Encapsulation, Inheritance and Polymorphism?

Encapsulation is the mechanism that binds together code and data it manipulates and
keeps both safe from outside interference and misuse. Inheritance is the process by which
one object acquires the properties of another object. Polymorphism is the feature that
allows one interface to be used for general class actions.

9. What are methods and how are they defined?

Methods are functions that operate on instances of classes in which they are defined.
Objects can communicate with each other using methods and can call methods in other
classes. Method definition has four parts. They are name of the method, type of object or
primitive type the method returns, a list of parameters and the body of the method. A
method’s signature is a combination of the first three parts mentioned above.

10. What are different types of access modifiers (Access specifiers)?

Access specifiers are keywords that determine the type of access to the member of a class.
These keywords are for allowing privileges to parts of a program such as functions and
variables. These are: public: Any thing declared as public can be accessed from anywhere.
private: Any thing declared as private can’t be seen outside of its class.
 protected: Any thing declared as protected can be accessed by classes in the same
package and subclasses in the other packages.
default modifier : Can be accessed only to classes in the same package.

11. What is an Object and how do you allocate memory to it?

Object is an instance of a class and it is a software unit that combines a structured set of
data with a set of operations for inspecting and manipulating that data. When an object is created
using new operator, memory is allocated to it.

12.Write the usage of Java packages.

This is a way to organize files when a project consists of multiple modules. It also helps
resolve naming conflicts when different packages have classes with the same names. Packages
access level also allows you to protect data from being used by the non-authorized classes.

13. What is method overloading and method overriding?

Method overloading: When a method in a class having the same method name
with different arguments is said to be method overloading. Method overriding : When a method
in a class having the same method name with same arguments is said to be method overriding.

14. What gives java it’s “write once and run anywhere” nature?
All Java programs are compiled into class files that contain bytecodes. These byte codes
can be run in any platform and hence java is said to be platform independent.

15. What is a constructor? What is a destructor?

Constructor is an operation that creates an object and/or initialises its state. Destructor
is an operation that frees the state of an object and/or destroys the object itself. In Java,
there is no concept of destructors. Its taken care by the JVM.

16. What is the difference between constructor and method?

Constructor will be automatically invoked when an object is created whereas
method has to be called explicitly
17. What is Static member classes?
A static member class is a static member of a class. Like any other static method, a
static member class has access to all static methods of the parent, or top-level, class.

18. What is Garbage Collection and how to call it explicitly?

When an object is no longer referred to by any variable, java automatically reclaims
memory used by that object. This is known as garbage collection. System. gc() method may
be used to call it explicitly

19. In Java, How to make an object completely encapsulated?

All the instance variables should be declared as private and public getter and setter
methods should be provided for accessing the instance variables.
20. What is static variable and static method?

static variable is a class variable which value remains constant for the entire class

static method is the one which can be called with the class itself and can hold only the staic
variables.

21. What is finalize() method?

finalize () method is used just before an object is destroyed and can be called just prior to
garbage collection.

22. What is the difference between String and String Buffer?

a) String objects are constants and immutable whereas StringBuffer objects are not. b) String
class supports constant strings whereas StringBuffer class supports growable and modifiable
strings.

23. What is the difference between Array and vector?

Array is a set of related data type and static whereas vector is a growable array of
objects and dynamic

24. What is a package?

A package is a collection of classes and interfaces that provides a high-level layer of access
protection and name space management.

25. What is the difference between this() and super()?

this() can be used to invoke a constructor of the same class whereas super() can be used to
invoke a super class constructor.
26. What is meant by Inheritance and what are its advantages?
Inheritance is the process of inheriting all the features from a class. The advantages of
inheritance are reusability of code and accessibility of variables and methods of the super class
by subclasses.

27. What is the difference between superclass and subclass?

A super class is a class that is inherited whereas sub class is a class that does the inheriting.

28. What is meant by Polymorphism?

Polymorphism literally means taking more than one form. Polymorphism is a
characteristic of being able to assign a different behavior or value in a subclass, to
something that was declared in a parent class.

29.What is an Abstract Class?

Abstract class is a class that has no instances. An abstract class is written with the
expectation that its concrete subclasses will add to its structure and behaviour, typically by
implementing its abstract operations.
30. What are inner class and anonymous class?
Inner class: classes defined in other classes, including those defined in methods are
called inner classes. An inner class can have any accessibility including private. Anonymous
class: Anonymous class is a class defined inside a method without a name and is
instantiated and declared in the same place and cannot have explicit constructors

31. What is interface and write its use.

Interface is similar to a class which may contain method’s signature only but not
bodies and it is a formal set of method and constant declarations that must be defined by
the class that implements it. Interfaces are useful for: a) Declaring methods that one
or more classes are expected to implement b) Capturing similarities between unrelated
classes without forcing a class relationship. c) Determining an object’s programming
interface without revealing the actual body of the class.

32. How is polymorphism achieved in java?

Inheritance, Overloading and Overriding are used to acheive Polymorphism in java.
Part –B

1.Explain the features of Java.

1. Simple
2. Object-Oriented
3. Platform independent
4. Secured
 5. Robust
6. Architecture neutral
7. Portable
8. Dynamic
9. Interpreted
10. High Performance
11. Multithreaded
12. Distributed

2.Describe the structure of Java program.

 A program is made up of one or more classes
 A class contains one or more methods
 A method contains program statements
A Java application always contains a method called main

3.Write about the control statements in Java .

Java has very flexible three looping mechanisms. You can use one of the following three loops:

 while Loop
 do...while Loop
 for Loop

4.Write a Java program to perform matrix operations.

import java.util.Scanner;
public class MatrixAddition {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number of rows: ");
int rows = s.nextInt();
System.out.print("Enter number of columns: ");
int columns = s.nextInt();
int[][] a = new int[rows][columns];
int[][] b = new int[rows][columns];
System.out.println("Enter the first matrix");
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
a[i][j] = s.nextInt();
}
}
System.out.println("Enter the second matrix");
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
 for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
b[i][j] = s.nextInt();
}
}
int[][] c = new int[rows][columns];
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
c[i][j] = a[i][j] + b[i][j];
}
}
System.out.println("The sum of the two matrices is");
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < columns; j++) {
System.out.print(c[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

Here is a sample execution.

Enter number of rows: 2

Enter number of columns: 3
Enter the first matrix
347
184
Enter the second matrix
321
104
The sum of the two matrices is
668
288

5.Explain the concept of inheritance with suitable example.

Inheritance in java is a mechanism in which one object acquires all the properties and
behaviors of parent object.
Single inheritance
Mulitple inheritance
Multilevel inheritance
Hybrid inheritance
6.What is a package ?Write down the steps in creating a package and using it in Java
program with an example.

A Package can be defined as a grouping of related types(classes, interfaces, enumerations and

annotations ) providing access protection and name space management.

Some of the existing packages in Java are::

 java.lang - bundles the fundamental classes

 java.io - classes for input , output functions are bundled in this package

Creating a package:
The package statement should be the first line in the source file. There can be only one package
statement in each source file, and it applies to all types in the file.

Put an interface in the package animals:

/* File name : Animal.java */

package animals;

interface Animal {

public void eat();

public void travel();

Now, put an implementation in the same package animals:

package animals;

/* File name : MammalInt.java */

public class MammalInt implements Animal{

public void eat(){

System.out.println("Mammal eats");

}
 public void travel(){

System.out.println("Mammal travels");

public int noOfLegs(){

return 0;

public static void main(String args[]){

MammalInt m = new MammalInt();

m.eat();

m.travel();

Now, you compile these two files and put them in a sub-directory called animals and try to run
as follows:

$ mkdir animals

$ cp Animal.class MammalInt.class animals

$ java animals/MammalInt

Mammal eats

Mammal travels

7.Explain the concept of interface with suitable example.

An interface is a collection of abstract methods. A class implements an interface, thereby
inheriting the abstract methods of the interface.
Declaring Interfaces:
The interface keyword is used to declare an interface. Here is a simple example to declare an
interface:
 Example:
Let us look at an example that depicts encapsulation:
/* File name : NameOfInterface.java */
import java.lang.*;
//Any number of import statements

public interface NameOfInterface

{
//Any number of final, static fields
//Any number of abstract method declarations\
}
Interfaces have the following properties:

 An interface is implicitly abstract. You do not need to use the abstract keyword when
declaring an interface.
 Each method in an interface is also implicitly abstract, so the abstract keyword is not
needed.
 Methods in an interface are implicitly public.

8.Explain the throwing and catching the exception in java.

An exception is a problem that arises during the execution of a program. An exception can occur
for many different reasons, including the following:

 A user has entered 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.
 Checked exceptions: A checked exception is an exception that is typically a user error or
a problem that cannot be foreseen by the programmer. For example, if a file is to be
opened, but the file cannot be found, an exception occurs. These exceptions cannot
simply be ignored at the time of compilation.
 Runtime exceptions: A runtime exception is an exception that occurs that probably
could have been avoided by the programmer. As opposed to checked exceptions, runtime
exceptions are ignored at the time of compilation.
 Errors: These are not exceptions at all, but problems that arise beyond the control of the
user or the programmer. Errors are typically ignored in your code because you can rarely
do anything about an error. For example, if a stack overflow occurs, an error will arise.
They are also ignored at the time of compilation.

9.Expalin string handling classes in Java with examples.

The java.lang.String class provides a lot of methods to work on string. By the help of these
methods, we can perform operations on string such as trimming, concatenating, converting,
comparing, replacing strings etc.

Java String is a powerful concept because everything is treated as a string if you submit any form
in window based, web based or mobile application.

1. String s="Sachin";
2. System.out.println(s.toUpperCase());//SACHIN
3. System.out.println(s.toLowerCase());//sachin
4. System.out.println(s);//Sachin(no change in original)

10.Describe about the different input and output streams and their classes.

A stream is a sequence of data.In Java a stream is composed of bytes. It's called a stream because
it's like a stream of water that continues to flow.

In java, 3 streams are created for us automatically. All these streams are attached with console.

1) System.out: standard output stream

2) System.in: standard input stream

3) System.err: standard error stream

UNIT –3 JDBC

1.What do you mean by JDBC?

JDBC(Java Database Connectivity) is a part of JDK which defines an application programming

interface for Java for standard SQL access to database from Java programs.

2.Define ODBC.

ODBC(Open Database Connectivity) is a standard for accessing different database systems.

These are interfaces for VB, VC++, SQL and ODBC driver pack contains drivers for the
Access, Paradox, dBase, Text, Excel.

3.What do you mean by Quick Response?

Quick Response means better service and availability of a wider range of products.
4. How the database connectivity is established in Java?

Database connectivity is established in Java using following steps,

Step 1: Loading the driver -> this can be done by

Class.forName(“sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver”)

Step 2: Registering the driver

Connection c1=RegisterDriver.getConnection(“jdbc:odbc:DSN”);

Step 3: create or execute the statement

5.Give some examples of online applications.

a) Conference Management system

b) Purchase system

c) License Lookup

d) Exam grade lookup

6.What is the need for ServletConfig(Config Object)?

A ServletConfig object presents servlet configuration information.

GenericServlet used to create Protocol independent servlets, which accepts 2 parameters to

favor request and response cycle namely ServletRequest and ServletResponse. And this can be
handled using service() method.

HTTPServlet used to create HTTP Servlets, which accepts 2 arguments to favor the request &
response cycle namely, HTTPServletRequest & HTTPServletResponse. And this can be
handled by doGet() & doPost() methods.

7.List out the classification of JDBC drivers?

It has 4 categories

a) JDBC-ODBC Bridge

b) Native API Partly Java Driver

c) JDBC Net Pure Java Driver

d) Native Protocol Pure Java Driver

8.Can the JDBC-ODBC Bridge be used with applets?

Use of the JDBC-ODBC bridge from an untrusted applet running in a browser, such as
Netscape Navigator, isn't allowed. The JDBC-ODBC bridge doesn't allow untrusted code to call
it for security reasons. ODBC is native code, so once ODBC is called the Java programming
language can't guarantee that a security violation won't occur. On the other hand, Pure Java
JDBC drivers work well with applets. They are fully downloadable and do not require any
client-side configuration.

9.What causes the "No suitable driver" error?

"No suitable driver" is an error that usually occurs during a call to the
DriverManager.getConnection method. The cause can be failing to load the appropriate JDBC
drivers before calling the getConnection method, or it can be specifying an invalid JDBC URL--
one that isn't recognized by your JDBC driver. Your best bet is to check the documentation for
your JDBC driver or contact your JDBC driver vendor if you suspect that the URL you are
specifying is not being recognized by your JDBC driver.

10.Is the JDBC-ODBC Bridge multi-threaded?

No. The JDBC-ODBC Bridge does not support concurrent access from different threads. The
JDBC-ODBC Bridge uses synchronized methods to serialize all of the calls that it makes to
ODBC. Multi-threaded Java programs may use the Bridge, but they won't get the advantages of
multi-threading. In addition, deadlocks can occur between locks held in the database and the
semaphore used by the Bridge. We are thinking about removing the synchronized methods in
the future. They were added originally to make things simple for folks writing Java programs
that use a single-threaded ODBC driver.

11.How can you create JDBC statements?

The JDBC API classes are supported by the java package java.sql.Import java.sql.*
statement.JDBC –ODBC bridge is created by the following statements.

Class.forName(“sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver”)

Connection to the database can be done using DriverManager.

DriverManager.getConnection(“jdbc:odbc:My_database”,” “ ,” “ );

12.What is the purpose of java.sql package in JDBC?

The JDBC API is defined in the java.sql package. To use JDBC classes and interfaces the
java.sql is imported in the java program.
13.What is prepared statement in JDBC?

The prepared statement in JDBC is a precompiled SQL statement. It is specified using the
placeholder?.

SELECT * from studentstable where name =?

There are special type setter methods that assign the values to the placeholders before the SQL
statements get executed.

14.What do you understand by Callable Statement in JDBC?

The Callable Statement is used to represent the stored procedures. In this type of statements we
can assign the methods for the type of output arguments.

SELECT * from studentstable where rollno<25

15.Waht is ResultSet?

The SQL statements that read data from a database query return the data in a result set. The
resultset object maintains a cursor that points to the current row in the database.

16.What is Connection class in JDBC?

The connection class in JDBC is used to represent the connectivity with the data sources. The
code a call to the DriverManager objects getconnection() method to establish actual database
connection.

17. Give the syntax for getconnection() method to establish actual database connection.

Static Connection getconnection(String URL);

Static Connection getconnection(String URL, Properties info);

Static Connection getconnection(String URL, String user, String password);

18.What is meant by datagram?

Datagram is a type of packet that represents an entire communication. Datagram packet is the
class, which acts as the data container, and datagram socket is a mechanism used to send or
receive datagram packets

19.What are the methods of datagram packet?

Methods:

Send (Datagram packet d) –dispatches the given datagram packet object.

Receive (Datagram packet p) –receives the given datagram packet object.

Close ()–closes the socket connection

20. Define protocol.

Communication between computers in a network or a different network requires certain set of

rules called protocol.

21.What are the types of protocol?

Java networking is done using TCP /IP protocol. Some of the different kinds of protocols
available are

HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol enables interaction with the internet), FTP (File Transfer

Protocol enables transfer of files between computers), SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
provides e-mail facility) and NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol acts as a bulletin board for

sharing news)

22.Give the three components of collection frameworks.

Collection frameworks are composed of three components. They are:

Interfaces –abstract data types representing collections

Implementations–these are the actual execution of the interfaces

Algorithms –these are methods that perform computation on objects that implement the
interfaces.

23.Define socket.

A socket is a connection between two hosts. It can perform following basic operations:

a.Connect to a remote machine

b.Send data

c.Receive data

d.Close a connection

e.Bind to a port

f.Listen for incomin

g data

24.Define TCP.

TCP is designed for reliable transmission of data. If data is lost or damaged in transmission,
TCP ensures that the data is resent; if packets of data arrive out of order, TCP puts them back in
the correct order; if the data is coming too fast for the connection, TCP throttles the speed back
so tht packets will not be lost.

25.Write about get methods in the DatagramPacket class.

DatagramPacket has five methods that retrieve different parts of a datagram: the actual data plus
several fields from its header. These methods are mostly used for data grams we receive from the
network.

public InetAddress getAddress()

public int getPort()

public byte[] getData()

public int getLength()

public int getOffset()

26.Write about set methods in the DatagramPacket class.

public void setData(byte[] data)

public void setData(byte[] data, int offset, int length)

public void setAddress(InetAddress remote)

public void setPort(int port)

public void setLength(int length)

 PART - B

1.Explain JDBC architecture in detail.

2.Discuss about the JDBC driver types.

Type 1: JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver
Type 2: JDBC-Native API
Type 3: JDBC-Net pure Java
Type 4: 100% Pure Java

3.Expalin about TCP sockets.

TCP is a twoway communication protocol, so data can be sent across both streams at the same
time. There are following usefull classes providing complete set of methods to implement
sockets.
ServerSocket Class Methods:
The java.net.ServerSocket class is used by server applications to obtain a port and listen for
client requests
The ServerSocket class has four constructors:
public ServerSocket(int port) throws IOException
1
Attempts to create a server socket bound to the specified port. An exception occurs if the
port is already bound by another application.
public ServerSocket(int port, int backlog) throws IOException
2
Similar to the previous constructor, the backlog parameter specifies how many incoming
clients to store in a wait queue.
public ServerSocket(int port, int backlog, InetAddress address) throws IOException
3 Similar to the previous constructor, the InetAddress parameter specifies the local IP address
to bind to. The InetAddress is used for servers that may have multiple IP addresses, allowing
the server to specify which of its IP addresses to accept client requests on
public ServerSocket() throws IOException
4
Creates an unbound server socket. When using this constructor, use the bind() method when
you are ready to bind the server socket
If the ServerSocket constructor does not throw an exception, it means that your application has
successfully bound to the specified port and is ready for client requests.

4. Write notes on UDP sockets.

DatagramSocket's are Java's mechanism for network communication via UDP instead of TCP.
UDP is still layered ontop of IP. You can use Java's DatagramSocket both for sending and
receiving UPD datagrams.
Sending Data via a DatagramSocket
To send data via Java'sDatagramSocket you must first create a DatagramPacket. Here is
how that is done:
byte[] buffer = new byte[65508];
InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName("jenkov.com");
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(
buffer, buffer.length, address, 9000);
The byte buffer (the byte array) is the data that is to be sent in the UDP datagram. The length
of the above buffer, 65508 bytes, is the maximum amount of data you can send in a single
UDP packet.
The length given to the DatagramPacket constructor is the length of the data in the buffer to
send. All data in the buffer after that amount of data is ignored.
The InetAddress instance contains the address of the node (e.g. server) to send the UDP
packet to. The InetAddress class represents an IP address (Internet Address). The
getByName() method returns an InetAddress instance with the IP address matching the
given host name.
The port parameter is the UDP port the server to receiver the data is listeing on. UDP and TCP
ports are not the same. A computer can have different processes listening on e.g. port 80 in
UDP and in TCP at the same time.
To send the DatagramPacket you must create a DatagramSocket targeted at sending data.
Here is how that is done:
DatagramSocket datagramSocket = new DatagramSocket();
To send data you call the send() method, like this:
datagramSocket.send(packet);

5 .Write a short notes on JavaBeans classes and JSP

o JavaBeans Component Design Conventions
o Why Use a JavaBeans Component?
o Creating and Using a JavaBeans Component
o Setting JavaBeans Component Properties

6.Discuss the concept of RMI.

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.

The RMI provides remote communication between the applications using two objects stub and
skeleton.

Steps to write the RMI program

1. Create the remote interface
2. Provide the implementation of the remote interface
 3. Compile the implementation class and create the stub and skeleton objects using the rmic
tool
4. Start the registry service by rmiregistry tool
5. Create and start the remote application
6. Create and start the client application
7.Explain jdbc-odbc data base connectivity program.
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
System.out.println("Driver loaded");

connection = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:Lab3.accdb");
System.out.println("Database connected");

statement = connection.createStatement();
ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery("");

while (resultSet.next()) {
output.write("<p>" + resultSet.getString(1) + "\t" +
resultSet.getString(2) + "\t" + resultSet.getString(3) +
"</p>");

UNIT 4 APPLETS

1. What is a Servlet?
Servlets are modules of Java code that run in a server application (hence the name "Servlets",
similar to "Applets" on the client side) to answer client requests. Servlets are not tied to a
specific client-server protocol but they are most commonly used with HTTP and the word
"Servlet" is often used in the meaning of "HTTP Servlet".

2. Compare Servlet with CGI

Servlets have several advantages over CGI:
A Servlet does not run in a separate process. This removes the overhead of creating a new
process for each request.
A Servlet stays in memory between requests. A CGI program (and probably also an extensive
runtime system or interpreter) needs to be loaded and started for each CGI request.
There is only a single instance which answers all requests concurrently. This saves memory and
allows a Servlet to easily manage persistent data.

3. What are Applets?

A program designed to be executed from within another application. Unlike an
application, applets cannot be executed directly from the operating system. With the growing
popularity of OLE (object linking and embedding), applets are becoming more prevalent. A
well-designed applet can be invoked from many different applications.
Web browsers, who are often equipped with Java virtual machines, can interpret applets
from Web servers. Because applets are small in files size, cross-platform compatible, and
highly secure (can‘t be used to access users\' hard drives), they are ideal for small Internet
applications accessible from a browser.
4. What are the common mechanisms used for session tracking?
 Cookies
 SSLsessions
 URL- rewriting

5. What is preinitialization of a servlet?

A container doesnot initialize the servlets ass soon as it starts up, it initializes a servlet when it
receives a request for that servlet first time. This is called lazy loading. The servlet specification
defines the <load-on-startup> element, which can be specified in the deployment descriptor to
make the servlet container load and initialize the servlet as soon as it starts up. The process of
loading a servlet before any request comes in is called preloading or preinitializing a servlet.

6. What is the difference between HttpServlet and GenericServlet?

A GenericServlet has a service() method aimed to handle requests. HttpServlet extends
GenericServlet and adds support for doGet(), doPost(), doHead() methods (HTTP 1.0) plus
doPut(), doOptions(), doDelete(), doTrace() methods (HTTP 1.1).
Both these classes are abstract.

7. What is the difference between ServletContext and ServletConfig?

ServletContext: Defines a set of methods that a servlet uses to communicate with its servlet
container, for example, to get the MIME type of a file, dispatch requests, or write to a log
file.The ServletContext object is contained within the ServletConfig object, which the Web
server provides the servlet when the servlet is initialized
ServletConfig: The object created after a servlet is instantiated and its default constructor is read.
It is created to pass.

8. Explain ServletContext
ServletContext interface is a window for a servlet to view it\'s environment. A servlet can use
this interface to get information such as initialization parameters for the web applicationor
servlet container\'s version. Every web application has one and only one ServletContext and is
accessible to all active resource of that application.

9. Explain the directory structure of a web application.

The directory structure of a web application consists of two parts.
A private directory called WEB-INF
A public resource directory which contains public resource folder.
WEB-INF folder consists of
1. web.xml
2. classes directory
3. lib directory

10. List any two keyboard events?

• onKeypress
• onKeyUp
• onKeyDown
11. List any two mouse events?
• onMouseUp
• onMouseDown
• onMouseOver
• onClick

12.What is the relationship between the Canvas class and the Graphics class?
A Canvas object provides access to a Graphics object via its paint() method.

13.How would you create a button with rounded edges?

There’s 2 ways. The first thing is to know that a JButton’s edges are drawn by a Border.
so you can override the Button’s paintComponent(Graphics) method and draw a circle
or rounded rectangle (whatever), and turn off the border. Or you can create a custom
border that draws a circle or rounded rectangle around any component and set the
button’s border to it.

14.What is the difference between the ‘Font’ and ‘FontMetrics’ class?

The Font Class is used to render ‘glyphs’ - the characters you see on the screen.
FontMetrics encapsulates information about a specific font on a specific Graphics
object. (width of the characters, ascent, descent)

15.What is the difference between the paint() and repaint() methods?

The paint() method supports painting via a Graphics object. The repaint() method is used to
cause paint() to be invoked by the AWT painting thread.

16.Which containers use a border Layout as their default layout?

The window, Frame and Dialog classes use a border layout as their default layout.

17. What is the difference between applications and applets?

a)Application must be run on local machine whereas applet needs no explicit installation on local
machine. b)Application must be run
explicitly within a java-compatible virtual machine whereas applet loads and runs itself
automatically in a java-enabled browser.
c)Application starts execution with its main method whereas applet starts
execution with its init method.
d)Application can run with or without graphical user interface whereas applet must run within a
graphical user interface.

18. Difference between Swing and Awt?

AWT are heavy-weight componenets. Swings are light-weight components. Hence swing works
faster than AWT.
19.What is a layout manager and what are different types of layout managers available in
java AWT?
A layout manager is an object that is used to organize components in a container. The different
layouts are available are FlowLayout, BorderLayout, CardLayout, GridLayout and
GridBagLayout.

20. How are the elements of different layouts organized?

FlowLayout: The elements of a FlowLayout are organized in a top to bottom, left to right
fashion.
BorderLayout: The elements of a BorderLayout are organized at the borders (North, South,
East and West) and the center of a container.
CardLayout: The elements of a CardLayout are stacked, on top of the other, like a deck of
cards.
GridLayout: The elements of a GridLayout are of equal size and are laid out using the square of
a grid.
GridBagLayout: The elements of a GridBagLayout are organized according to a grid.
However, the elements are of different size and may occupy more than one row or column of
the grid. In addition, the rows and columns may have different sizes.
The default Layout Manager of Panel and Panel sub classes is FlowLayout.

21.What is source and listener?

source : A source is an object that generates an event. This occurs when the internal state of that
object changes in some way.
listener : A listener is an object that is notified when an event occurs. It has two major
requirements. First, it must have been registered with one or more sources to receive
notifications about specific types of events. Second, it must implement methods to receive and
process these notifications.

22. What is an event and what are the models available for event handling?

An event is an event object that describes a state of change in a source. In other words, event
occurs when an action is generated, like pressing button, clicking mouse, selecting a list, etc.
There are two types of models for handling events and they are: a) event-inheritance model and
b) event-delegation model

23. What is the difference between scrollbar and scrollpane?

A Scrollbar is a Component, but not a Container whereas Scrollpane is a Conatiner and
handles its own events and perform its own scrolling.

24.What class is the top of the AWT event hierarchy?

The java.awt.AWTEvent class is the highest-level class in the AWT event-class hierarchy.

25. What is meant by controls and what are different types of controls in AWT?
 Controls are components that allow a user to interact with your application and the AWT
supports the following types of controls: Labels, Push Buttons, Check Boxes, Choice Lists,
Lists, Scrollbars, and Text Components. These controls are subclasses of Component.

26. What is the difference between a Choice and a List?

A Choice is displayed in a compact form that requires you to pull it down to see the list
of available choices. Only one item may be selected from a Choice. A List may be displayed in
such a way that several List items are visible. A List supports the selection of one or more List
items.

27.What is the purpose of the enableEvents() method?

The enableEvents() method is used to enable an event for a particular object. Normally,an
event is enabled when a listener is added to an object for a particular event. The enableEvents()
method is used by objects that handle events by overriding their eventdispatch methods.

28. What is the difference between the File and RandomAccessFile classes?

The File class encapsulates the files and directories of the local file system. The
RandomAccessFile class provides the methods needed to directly access data contained in any
part of a file.

29.What is the lifecycle of an applet?

init() method - Can be called when an applet is first loaded start() method - Can be called each
time an applet is started. paint() method - Can be called when the applet is minimized or
maximized. stop() method - Can be used when the browser moves off the applet’s page.
destroy() method - Can be called when the browser is finished with the applet.

PART – B

1.Explain the life cycle of applet.

public void init(): is used to initialized the Applet. It is invoked only once.

public void start(): is invoked after the init() method or browser is maximized. It is used
to start the Applet.
 public void stop(): is used to stop the Applet. It is invoked when Applet is stop or
browser is minimized.

public void destroy(): is used to destroy the Applet. It is invoked only once.

2.List the methods available in the graphics for COLOR.

Graphics() () Constructs a new Graphics object.

abstract void clearRect(int x, int y, int width, int height)

Clears the specified rectangle by filling it with the background color of the current drawing
surface.

abstract void clipRect(int x, int y, int width, int height)

Intersects the current clip with the specified rectangle.

abstract void copyArea(int x, int y, int width, int height, int dx, int dy)

Copies an area of the component by a distance specified by dx and dy.

void drawPolygon(Polygon p)

Draws the outline of a polygon defined by the specified Polygon object.

abstract void drawString(String str, int x, int y)

Draws the text given by the specified string, using this graphics context's current font and color.

3.How frames are created in Java?

1. Create the frame.
JFrame frame = new JFrame("FrameDemo");

2. Optional: What happens when the frame closes?

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

3. Create components and put them in the frame.

//...create emptyLabel...
frame.getContentPane().add(emptyLabel, BorderLayout.CENTER);

4. Size the frame.

frame.pack();

5. Show it.
frame.setVisible(true);

4.Explain the various event handling in detail.

Event Handling is the mechanism that controls the event and decides what should happen if an
event occurs.
Foreground Events - Those events which require the direct interaction of user.
Background Events - Those events that require the interaction of end user are known as
background events.

 Source - The source is an object on which event occurs. Source is responsible for
providing information of the occurred event to it's handler. Java provide as with classes
for source object.
 Listener - It is also known as event handler.Listener is responsible for generating
response to an event. From java implementation point of view the listener is also an
object. Listener waits until it receives an event. Once the event is received , the listener
process the event an then returns.

5.Discuss mouse listener and mouse motion listener. Give an example.

MouseMotionListener will enable you to performactions when the mouse moves over
a hotspot. You can also use this to drag things,that will require MouseListener and
MouseMotionListener at the same time.
This applet will show a rectangle that will changecolor when the mouse moves over it.
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MouseMotionExample extends Applet implements MouseMotionListener

{
int xpos;
int ypos;

int rect1xco,rect1yco,rect1width,rect1height;

boolean rect1Active;

public void init()

{

rect1xco = 20;
rect1yco = 20;
 rect1width =100;
rect1height= 50;

addMouseMotionListener(this);
}

public void paint(Graphics g)

{
if (rect1Active)g.setColor(Color.green);
else g.setColor(Color.red);

g.fillRect(rect1xco,rect1yco,rect1width,rect1height);

g.setColor(Color.blue);

g.drawString("("+xpos+","+ypos+")",xpos,ypos);

public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent me)

{
xpos = me.getX();
ypos = me.getY();
if (xpos > rect1xco&& xpos < rect1xco+rect1width && ypos > rect1yco
&& ypos < rect1yco+rect1height)
rect1Active = true;
else
rect1Active = false;
repaint();

public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent me)

{
}

6.Discuss the various types of layout supported by java.

The borderlayout arranges the components to fit in the five regions: east, west, north, south and
center.
The CardLayout object treats each component in the container as a card. Only one card is visible
at a time.
The FlowLayout is the default layout.It layouts the components in a directional flow.
The GridLayout manages the components in form of a rectangular grid.

7.Explain Servlet life cycle in detail.

Methods:
 Init()
 Service()
 Destroy()

 Storing and retrieving attributes.
 Session termination
10.Discuss the parameter data concept.
 Parameter data and query strings.
 Servlets and parameter data.
 Forms and parameter data.

UNIT-5 XML AND WEB SERVICES

1.How to represent the XML Document?

In any markup language, the first element to appear is called the "root element", which defines
what kind of document the file will be. In an HTML file, the <html> tag is the root element. An
HTML file will always have the HTML element as the root element, while in an XML file, it can
be anything.
Eg:
<phonebook>
<number>
</number>
<name>
</name>
</phonebook>

2.what is PCDATA in XML

Parsed Character Data (PCDATA) is a term used about text data that will be parsed by the XML
parser. XML parsers normally parse all the text in an XML document.When an XML element is
parsed, the text between the XML tags is also parsed:
<message>This text is also parsed</message>

3. Mention any 3 XML Parsers

 SAX (Simple API for XML) Parser
  DOM (Document Object Model) Parser and
 XSLT (XML Style Sheet) Parsers.

4. What is the purpose of the XML DTD

The purpose of a DTD is to define the structure of an XML document. It defines the structure
with a list of legal elements:
<!DOCTYPE note [ <!ELEMENT note (to,from,heading,body)> <!ELEMENT to (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT from (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT heading (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT body
(#PCDATA)> ]>

5. What is XSL Programming?

XSL (XML Stylesheet) Programming is the Next Generation of the CSS (Cascading Style Sheet
Programming). In CSS, users can use certain style tags which the browsers can understand and
are predefined by W3 consortium. XSL takes ths to one step ahead and users can define any tags
in the XML file. XML sheets can help in showing the same data in different formats.
<?xml-stylesheet href="doc.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>

6.What is XSLT?
XSLT stands for XSL Transformations
XSLT is the most important part of XSL
XSLT transforms an XML document into another XML document
XSLT uses XPath to navigate in XML documents
XSLT is a W3C Recommendation

7. What is Java Server Pages Technology?

 JSP is a technology, specified and introduced by Sun Microsystems.
 Create dynamic web content (HTML, XML, ...) for a Web Application.
 Make it easier/cleaner to mix static HTML parts with dynamic Java servlet code.
 JSP could make external calls to other Web components as Java Beans, Java Servlet,
 applets or to forward execution to another JSP document.
 Write Once, Run Anywhere

8. What are Java Servlets?

Servlets are Java technology's answer to CGI programming. They are programs that run on a
Web server and build Web pages.

9. What Is The Use Of XML?

Extensible Markup Language, derived from SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language.
XML is widely supported open technology (i.e. non-proprietary) for electronic data exchange
and storage.
XML is actually a language used to create other markup languages to describe data in a
structured manner.
XML documents contain only data, not formatting instructions, so applications that process
XML documents must decide how to manipulate or display the document‘s data.

10. What Do You Mean By DTD in XML?

• DTD means Document Type Definition.
• DTD file is similar to CSS file, because DTD also contains only styles.
• DTD contains various styles which are to be applied in XML document .
• Like .CSS file .DTD file also should be linked with XML program.
Styles in XML program should be save with .xsl (Xml Style Sheet Language) extension.

11. Define XML.

XML is a meta-markup language that provides a format for describing structured data. This
facilitates more structured declarations of content and more meaningful search results across
multiple platforms.

12. Define DTD.

A DTD is a set of rules that specifies how to use XML markup. It contains specifications for
each element, including what the element\'s attributes are, what values the attributes can take on
and what elements can be contained in others.

13. What are the different XSLT elements?

• Stylesheet
• Value-of
• For-each
• Sort
• Text

14. What is VoiceXML?

VoiceXML is an emerging standard for speech-enabled applications.Its XML syntax defines
elements to control a sequence of interaction dialogs between a user and an implementation
platform. VoiceXML uses XML text to drive voice dialogs.

15. What is XQuery?

XQuery is a W3C initiative to define a standard set of constructs for querying and searching
XML documents. XQuery brings database query processing to XML.

16. What is XForm?

XForm is an XML approach that overcomes the limitations of HTML forms. XForm includes a
variety of buttons, scrollbars and menus. It generates XML form data as output. XForm\'s model
has the capability to work with the variety of user interfaces.

17. What is XPath?

Xpath is used to navigate XML tree structures. XPath gets its name from its use of a path
notation to navigate through the hierarchical tree structure of an XML document. It is an
important XML technology due to its role in providing a common syntax and semantics for
functionality in both XSLT and XPointer.
18. what are the Importants of SAX?
SAX is an event driven.
SAX supports processing pipelines.
SAX requires programmers to maintain state.

19. What is the use of web services?

 Web services encompass a set of related standards that can enable two computer
 The data is passed back and forth using standard protocols such as HTTP, the same
protocol used to transfer ordinary web pages.
 Web services operate using open, text-based standards that enable components written in
different languages and on different platforms to communicate.
 They are ready to use pieces of software on the Internet. XML, SOAP, Web Services
Description Language (WSDL) and Universal Description, Discovery and Integration
(UDDI) are the standards on which web services rely.
 UDDI is another XML based format that enables developers and business to publish and
locate Web services on a network.

20. What do you mean by JDBC?

 JDBC Part of the Java Development Kit which defines an application-programming

interface for Java for standard SQL access to databases from Java programs.

21. Define ODBC.

 It is a standard for accessing different database systems. There are interfaces for Visual
Basic, Visual C++, SQL and the ODBC driver pack contains drivers for the Access,
Paradox, dBase, Text, Excel and Retrieve databases.

22. List out some web service technologies?

XML,

SOAP,

WSDL

23. What is XML ?

Extensible markup language. It offer a standard, flexible and inherently extensible data format,
XML significantly reduces the burden of deploying the many technologies needed to ensure the
success of Web services.
24. What is SOAP?

Service Oriented Architecture Protocol.

It provides a standard, extensible, composable framework for packaging and exchanging XML
messages. In the context of this architecture, SOAP also provides a convenient mechanism for
referencing capabilities (typically by use of headers).

25. What is WSDL?

Web Services Description Language

WSDL is a language for describing Web services. WSDL describes Web services starting with
the messages that are exchanged between the requester and provider agents. The messages
themselves are described abstractly and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message
format.

26. What are Web Services?

Web services are application components

Web services communicate using open protocols

Web services are self-contained and self-describing

Web services can be discovered using UDDI

Web services can be used by other applications

XML is the basis for Web services

27.How Does web services Work?

The basic Web services platform is XML + HTTP.

XML provides a language which can be used between different platforms and programming
languages and still express complex messages and functions.

The HTTP protocol is the most used Internet protocol.

28. What are the various web services platform elements?

  SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
 UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration)
 WSDL (Web Services Description Language)

29. What are the types of web services and its uses?

Reusable application-components.

There are things applications need very often. So why make these over and over again?

Web services can offer application-components like: currency conversion, weather reports, or
even language translation as services.

Connect existing software.

Web services can help to solve the interoperability problem by giving different applications a
way to link their data. With Web services you can exchange data between different applications
and different platforms.

30. Define WSDL.

WSDL 2.0[WSDL 2.0 Part 1] is a language for describing Web services.

WSDL describes Web services starting with the messages that are exchanged between the
requester and provider agents. The messages themselves are described abstractly and then bound
to a concrete network protocol and message format.

31. Write short notes on UDDI

Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) The directory shown in the above
figure could be a UDDI registry. The UDDI registry is intended to eventually serve as a means of
"discovering" Web Services described using WSDL . The idea is that the UDDI registry can be
searched in various ways to obtain contact information and the Web

Services available for various organizations. How much "discovery" will be used in the early
days of Web Services is open to discussion. Nevertheless, even without the discovery portion,
the UDDI registry is a way to keep up-to-date on the Web Services your organization currently
uses. More on Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (new window).

An alternative to UDDI is the ebXML Registry (new window).

32. What are modeling DTD?

 Data models can be mapped to many different DTDs

 What is a good DTD? What is a bad DTD?
 How does the DTD affect further processing

33. What are the soap related technologies?

 SOAP is a simple XML-based protocol to let applications exchange information over
HTTP.
 In our SOAP tutorial, you will learn what SOAP is, and how it uses XML to exchange
information between applications.

34. Define SOAP structure

SOAP once stood for 'Simple Object Access Protocol' but this acronym was dropped with
Version 1.2 of the standard.

Version 1.2 became a W3C recommendation on June 24, 2003. The acronym is sometimes
confused with SOA, which stands for Service-oriented architecture; however SOAP is different
from SOA.

35.What Are Environment Variables?

Environment Variables are stored in a small area of memory available to all programs running
within or on top of the DOS environment (including Windows). They are called ―variables‖
because they can be changed. In fact, some variables need to be re established after every
reboot.
