Question 1: To be answered in (40) Minutes [ ] / 10 Marks

There is only one error in each of the following codes. Identify and underline the error, and
explain the cause of each error.
a) abstract class A {
//Class A Members
}

class B {
//Class B Members
}

class C extends A, B {
//Class C Members
}
Answer: a class cannot extend more than one class. //2 marks

b) public class A {
public A(){
System.out.println(1);
super();
System.out.println(2);
}
}
Answer: super() must be the first statement in the constructor. //2 marks

c) interface X
{
void methodX();
}

class Y implements X
{
private void methodX()
{
System.out.println("Method X");
}
}
Answer: The visibility of methodX() has been reduced to private while implementing it in
the class //2 marks

d) public class ExceptionHandling
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
//This statement throws NumberFormatException
//(an indirect subclass of RuntimeException)
int i = Integer.parseInt("abc");
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
System.out.println("...");
}
catch(NumberFormatException ex)
{
System.out.println("...");
}
}
}

Answer: This block is unreachable (compile time error) because the exception is already
caught by above catch block //2 marks

e) public class GenericBox{

// Private variable
private E content;

// Constructor
public GenericBox(E content) {
this.content = content;
}

public E getContent() {
return content;
}

public void setContent(E content) {

this.content = content;
}
}

Answer: The type parameter <E> is not declared after the class name //2 marks

Question 2: To be answered in (30) Minutes [ ] / 10 Marks

a) Create a checked exception class called DeniedStudentException with two constructors: the first
constructor has no parameters and the second takes a message string.

Answer a): (3 marks)

public class DeniedStudentException extends Exception //1 mark

{
public DeniedStudentException() { } //1 mark

public DeniedStudentException(String message) { //1 mark

super(message);
}
}

b) Write a class called Student that has 2 instance variables which are course number of hours taught
and student number of absences (hours). In addition, the class has one constructor that initializes
the instance variables. The constructor throws a DeniedStudentException when the number of
absences exceeds 15% of the course number of hours.

Answer b): (7 marks)

public class Student //1 mark

{
private int courseCount; //0.5 mark
private int absenceCount; //0.5 mark

public Student(int courseCount, int absenceCount) //1 mark

throws DeniedStudentException //1 mark
{
if (absenceCount * 100 / courseCount > 15) //1 mark
throw new DeniedStudentException("Student absent more
than 15%."); //1 mark

this.courseCount = courseCount; //0.5 mark

this.absenceCount = absenceCount; //0.5 mark
}
}

Question 3: To be answered in (30) Minutes [ ] / 10 Marks

Write a generic method computeCost that takes an array of generic type which must implements the
following Item interface.

public interface Item {

double getPrice();
}

computeCost computes and returns the sum of all items price after multiplying each item’s price by
1.05 except if:
• the item is a reference to a Food class, or
• the item’s price is less than 100.0

public static <T extends Item> double computeCost( T[] items ) //2 mark
{
double sum = 0 ; //1 mark

for(T i: items) // 1 mark

{
double price = ((Item)i).getPrice(); // 1 mark

if (! (i instanceof Food) && price > 100.0) // 2 marks

{
price += price * 0.05; //1 mark //or: price *= 1.05;
}

sum += price; //1 mark

}

return sum; //1 mark

}

Question 4: To be answered in (30) Minutes [ ] / 20 Marks

a) Write the code for the flowing GUI specifications: (3 marks)

• Set the width and height of a window to 300 and 70, respectively.

setSize(300,70);

• Create a text field with default text “0” and number of columns is 5

private JTextField text = new JTextField("0", 5);

• Set the layout for a container to FlowLayout

setLayout(new FlowLayout());

b) The following figure represents a “Plus/Minus Counters” application user interface:

Complete the following code skeleton to reproduce the same interface using Java Swing library

components (you can reuse the answers of the question (a)).

Answer: (7 marks)

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;

// declare the UI class

public class CounterUI extends JFrame { // 0.5 mark

// Declare & instantiate components

private JButton bPlus = new JButton("+"); // 1 mark
private JButton bMinus = new JButton("-"); // 1 mark
private JTextField text = new JTextField("0", 5);

// Declare constructor
public CounterUI() {
// set layout
setLayout(new FlowLayout());

// add components to the interface

add(bMinus); // 0.5 mark
add(text); // 0.5 mark
add(bPlus); // 0.5 mark

// set other window's properties

setSize(300,70);
setTitle("Plus/Minus Counters"); // 1 mark
setVisible(true); // 1 mark
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

// instantiate the interface
new CounterUI(); // 1 mark
}
}
