Important solved and unsolved programs to practice.

Note : Write comment in each program, write approx. 5 to 6 comments in each program
of 10 marks and 3 to 4 comments in 5 marks questions, no need to write variable
description.

Question 1. A class Demand contains the market demands of a product. Another class
Supply is derived from Demand which contains the production and supply details of the
product.
The details of the base class:
Class Name : Demand
Data member / instance variable:
PId : String to store the product id.
PName : String to store the product name.
PDemand : Integer to store the demand of the product.
Member functions / methods :
Demand(…) : parameterized constructor to initialize the data members
void display( ) : to display the member data.
The details of the derived class :
Class Name : Supply
Data member /instance variable:
PProduced : to store the amount of product produced.
Prate : to store the cost per unit.
Member functions / methods :
Supply(…) : parameterized constructor to initialize the data members of both the classes.
int amount( ) : returns the difference between the amount of demand [rate x demand] and
amount of produced [rate x produced].
void display( ) : to display all the details of a product with proper messages
(including the difference in amount) (apply method overriding).

5
Assume that the super class Demand has been defined. Using the concept of inheritance,
specify the class Supply giving details of the constructor, int amount( ) and void display( ). The
super class, main function and algorithm need NOT be written.

Answer.

class Supply extends Demand

{
int PProduced;
double Prate;
Supply(int id, String nm, int d, int pr, double rt)
{
super(id,nm,d);
PProduced=pr;
Prate=rt;
}
int amount( )
{
double d=PDemand*Prate;
double e=PProduced*Prate;
return Math.abs(d–e);
}
void display( )
{
super.display( );
System.out.println(PProduced);
System.out.println(Prate);
} }

Question 2. A super class VEHICLE stores the details of a vehicle. Another class CAR is
derived from VEHICLE which performs certain operations.
The details of the base class :

char Permit : The national permit category [either N, S or L].
Member functions/ methods :
VEHICLE(…) : parameterized constructor to initialize the data members.
void Print( ) : to display the member data.
The details of the derived class :
Class Name : CAR
Data member/ instance variable :
long Price : to store the price of the car.
double Exc : to store the excise to be levied on the car.
Member functions/ methods :
CAR(…) : parameterized constructor to initialize the data members of the base and current
class. The excise amount (Exc) is initialized to null.

6
void CalEx( ) : calculates the excise amount as per the given chart.
Permit Excise Amount
N 22 % of Price
S 11% of Price
L 5% of Price
void Print( ) : to display all the details of both the classes with proper
messages (apply method overriding).
Specify the class CAR giving the details of its mentioned methods. Assume that class
VEHICLE is already present. The super class, main function and algorithm need NOT be
written.

Answer

class CAR extends VEHICLE

{
long Price;
double Exc;
CAR(Sring reg1, char permit1, long price1)
{
super(reg1, permit1);
Price = price1;
Exc = 0;
}
void CalEx( )
{
if(Permit == „N‟)
Exc = 22.0/100 * Price;
else if(Permit == „S‟)
Exc = 11.0/100 * Price;
else if(Permit == „L‟)
Exc = 5.0/100 * Price;
}
void Print( )
{
super.print( );
System.out.println(“ Price is ` ” + Price);
System.out.print(“ Excise is ` ” + Exc); } }

Question 3.
Create two classes named Library and Issue. The class library will have the following
structure to store detail of the books. Another class Issue will inherit class Library purchase
that will store the number of days late in returning the book and fine calculated.
Class name : Library
Member data:
bookno : as Integer to store book number.
Bookname : as String to store the name of the book.
Studentname : as String to store the name of the student.
Member function:
Library(….) : parameterized constructor to give initial values to data members.

7
void display( ) : to display the member data
Class name : Issue
Member data :
daysLate : as Integer to store the number of days late to return the book.
fine : as Double to store the fine calculated.
Member function:
Issue(….) :parameterized constructor to give initial values to the Super class data members
void return_book( ): to receive date of return of the book from student and compute the fine if
no. of days are late according to the given rule otherwise no fine. Number of days late * 0.5
void display( ) : to display the detail of the student issued the book along with total amount as
fine (if applicable)
Assume that the super class Library has been defined. Using the concept of inheritance,
specify the class Issue giving details of the constructor, void return_book( ) and void display( ).
The super class, main function and algorithm need NOT be written.

Answer

class Issue extends Library

{
int daysLate;
double fine;
public Issue(int bno, String bname, String Sname, int dl)
{
super(bno, bname, Sname);
daysLate=dl;
fine=0;
}
public void return_book( )
{
fine=daysLate*0.5;
}
public void display( )
{
super.display( );
System.out.println(“Days late:”+daysLate);
System.out.println(“Fine:”+fine);
}}

Question 4.
