UNIT I
PART A
1. Define classes in java
A class is a user defined blueprint or prototype from which objects are created. It represents
the set of properties or methods that are common to all objects of one type.

2. Name the types of Array

 Single Dimensional Array
 Two Dimensional Array
 Three Dimensional Array
 Character array

3. List any four java Doc comments

Javadoc is a tool which comes with JDK and it is used for generating Java code
documentation in
HTML format from Java source code, which requires documentation in a predefined format.
Following is a simple example where the lines inside /*….*/ are Java multi-line comments. Similarly, the
ine which preceeds // is Java single-line comment.

4. Define access specifier? give example

These Specifiers determine whether a field or method in a class, can be used or invoked by
another method in another class or sub-class
Types Of Access Specifiers :
In java we have four Access Specifiers and they are listed below.
1. public
2. private
3. protected
4. default(no specifier)

5. Define objects and object variable

The Object is the instance itself, whereas the Object Variable is the reference to the Object.
Here's a contrived example: Object o = new Object(); Object ref1 = o; In his case, there is a single
instance of the Object, but it is referenced by two Object Variables: o and ref1.
6. What is the need of overloaded constructors

R.SARALA AP/IT
 III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

The purpose of constructor is to initialize the object of a class while the purpose of a
method is to perform a task by executing java code. Constructors cannot be abstract, final, static
and synchronised while methods can be. Constructors do not have return types while methods do.

7. Describe default constructor

A default constructor is a constructor that either has no parameters, or if it has
parameters, all the parameters have default values. ... This constructor is an inline public
member of its class. The compiler will implicitly define A::A() when the compiler uses this
constructor to create an object of type A .

8. Express what is meant by java package

A Package can be defined as a grouping of related types(classes, interfaces, enumerations and
annotations ) providing access protection and namespace 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

9. Define Static methods

Static methods are also similar to static variables, you can access them with reference to class name,
without creating object. Inside static methods, you cannot access instance variables or instance methods.
You can only access static variables or static methods. System.out.println(MyStaticMethods.staticStr);

10. Express what is the default access to a member in a class

Default access modifier for class member and member functions is private. Private members
are the class members (data members and member functions) that are hidden from the outside world.

11. Illustrate with example how to import a single package?

Types of packages in Java: built-in packages and the packages we can create (also known as
user defined package).
import java.util.Scanner
Here:
→ java is a top level package
→ util is a sub package
→ and Scanner is a class which is present in the sub package util.

13. Explain the features of Java

 * Simple: The Java language is easy to learn. ...

 * Familiar: Java is similar to C/C++ but it removes the drawbacks and complexities of C/C++ like
pointers and multiple inheritances. ...
 * Object-Oriented: ...
 * Robust: ...
 * Secure: ...
 * High Performance: ...
 * Multithreaded: ...
 * Platform Independence:

14. Can an inner class declared inside of a method access local variables of this method
of this method?
These classes, however, can access the variables or parameters of the block that encloses it
only if they are declared as final or are effectively final. ... A local inner class defined inside a method body,
have access to it's parameters.

15. What is API Package

Java application programming interface (API) is a list of all classes that are part of the Java
development kit (JDK). It includes all Java packages, classes, and interfaces, along with their methods,
fields, and constructors.

16. Uses of packages

R.SARALA AP/IT
 III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

A package as the name suggests is a pack(group) of classes, interfaces and other packages.
In java we use
packages to organize our classes and interfaces. We have two types of packages in Java: built-in
packages and the
packages we can create (also known as user defined package).

17. Demonstrate private access specifier

1. class A{
2. private int data=40;
3. private void msg(){System.out.println("Hello java");}
4. }
5.
6. public class Simple{
7. public static void main(String args[]){
8. A obj=new A();
9. System.out.println(obj.data);//Compile Time Error
10. obj.msg();//Compile Time Error
11. } }

18. Define constructor

A constructor in Java is a block of code similar to a method that's called when an
instance of an object is created. Here are the key differences between a constructor and a
method: A constructor doesn't have a return type. The name of the constructor must be the
same as the name of the class

19.Define A Java virtual machine (JVM)

It is an implementation of the Java Virtual Machine Specification, interprets compiled Java

binary code (called bytecode) for a computer's processor (or "hardware platform") so that it can
perform a Java program's instructions.

20.Define encapsulation

It is the process of binding of data and method together in a single entity called
class.

UNIT II
PART A

1. Define inheritance hierarchy. Give an example

In object-oriented programming, inheritance enables new objects to take on the properties of
existing objects. A class that is used as the basis for inheritance is called a superclass or base class.
A class that inherits from a superclass is called a subclass or derived class.

2. How will you define an interface in java program

An interface in the Java programming language is an abstract type that is used to specify a
behavior that classes must implement. ... Interfaces are declared using the interface keyword, and
may only contain method signature and constant declarations (variable declarations that are declared
to be both static and final ).

3. What is meant by abstract classes

In Java, we can have an abstract class without any abstract method. This allows us to
create classes that cannot be instantiated, but can only be inherited. 4) Abstract classes can also have
final methods (methods that cannot be overridden)

4. What is object cloning

Clone() is a method in the Java programming language for object duplication. In java, objects
are manipulated through reference variables, and there is no operator for copying an object—the
assignment operator duplicates the reference, not the object. The clone() method provides this
missing functionality.

5. Define static inner classes

Nested Classes. The Java programming language allows you to define a class within another
class. ... A nested class is a member of its enclosing class. Non-static nested classes (inner classes) have
access to other members of the enclosing class, even if they are declared private.

6. In java describe the use of Interfaces?

Interfaces are more flexible, because a class can implement multiple interfaces. Since Java
does not have multiple inheritance, using abstract classes prevents your users from using any other
class hierarchy. In general, prefer interfaces when there are no default implementations or state.
7. Describe the purpose of the keyword “final”
R.SARALA AP/IT
 III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Final keyword in java. ... First of all, final is a non-access modifier applicable only to a
variable, a method or a class. Following are different contexts where final is used. Final variables.
When a variable is declared with final keyword, its value can't be modified, essentially, a constant.

8. Describe wrapper classes? Why the wrapper classes are defined as final
Each of Java's eight primitive data types has a class dedicated to it. These are known as
wrapper classes because they "wrap" the primitive data type into an object of that class. The wrapper
classes are part of the java.lang package, which is imported by default into all Java programs

9.Show how to prevent inheritance

1. Use final.
2. Use private constructors.
3. Use a comment: // do not inherit.
4. Use a javadoc comment.
5. Make every method final, so people can't override them.
6. Use a runtime check in the class constructor: if (this. getClass() != MyClass. class) { throw new
RuntimeException("Subclasses not allowed"); }

10. Demonstrate the conditions to be satisfied while declaring abstract

a) A class can be marked as abstract without containing any abstract method.
b) A abstract can have one or more abstract method.
c) An abstract method should not have any method body.

11. Illustrate the keyword?usage of super

Java Programming/Keywords/super. It is used inside a sub-class method definition to call
a method defined in the super class. ... Only public and protected methods can be called by the
super keyword. It is also used by class constructors to invoke constructors of its parent class.

12. Differentiate shallow and deep copy in object cloning

Deep Copy In Java : Deep copy of an object will have exact copy of all the fields of original
object just like shallow copy. But in additional, if original object has any references to other objects
as fields, then copy of those objects are also created by calling clone() method on them.
13.Distinguish between copying and cloning
This is shallow copy of the object. clone() method of the object class support shallow copy

R.SARALA AP/IT
 III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

of the object. ... That's why the name shallow copy or shallow cloning in Java. If only primitive
type fields or Immutable objects are there then there is no difference between shallow and deep
copy in Java.

14.Assess how to reverse ArrayList in Java

You can reverse ArrayList in Java by using the reverse() method of java.util.Collections
class. ... By the way, this is a typesafe generic method and you can use it to reverse Integer,
String, Float or any kind of List in Java.

15.Deduce the meaning for the keywords : final, finally, finalize

final(lowercase) is a reserved keyword in java. ... The final keyword in java has
different meaning depending upon it is applied to variable, class or method. final with Variables :
The value of variable cannot be changed once initialized.

16. Create a java program to remove all white spaces from a string in java
a = a.replaceAll("\\s",""); In the context of a regex, \s will remove anything that
is a space character (including space, tab characters etc). You need to escape the
backslash in Java so the regex turns into \\s . Also, since Strings are immutable it is
important that you assign the return value of the regex to a .

17.Types of exception

 Arithmetic Exception. It is thrown when an exceptional condition has occurred in an

arithmetic operation.
 ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException. ...
 ClassNotFoundException. ...
 FileNotFoundException. ...
 IOException. ...
 InterruptedException. ...
 NoSuchFieldException. ...
 NoSuchMethodException.

18. What is meant by inheritance?

Inheritance is the process by which objects of one class acquire the properties of
another class. It supports the concept of hierarchical classification. It provides the idea
R.SARALA AP/IT
III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

of reusability. We can add additional features to an existing class without modifying it

by deriving a new class from it.

19. What is meant by visibility mode? Mention the visibility modes available.
Visibility mode specifies whether the features of the base class are privately
derived or publicly derived. There are three visibility modes. They are,
a. Private
b. Public
c. Protected

20.What are the types in inheritance?

1. What are the various traditional error handling methods?
The various traditional error handling methods are,
i. Returning error number.
ii. Global flag manipulation.
iii. Abnormal termination.

2. What is the importance of exceptional handling?

The importance of exceptional handling is,
i. Divide the error handling.
ii. To provide unconditional termination and programmer preferred termination
iii. For separating error reporting and error handling.
iv. To solve the object destroy problem.
3. What are the three keywords used for exception handling mechanism?
The three keywords used for exception handling mechanism are,
i. try

for indicating program area where the exception can be thrown.

ii. throw for throwing an exception.


iii. catch for taking an action for specific exception.

4. What is the use of unexpected function?

The unexpected function is called when a function throws an exception not listed
in its exception specification. Internally, it calls the terminate function to terminate the
program execution. The function set unexpected () is used to call our own unexpected
function in place of the built-in unexpected function.

5. What are the challenges in the exception handling mechanism?

The challenges in the
exception handling mechanism are,
1. Finding proper catch block.
2. Finding proper catch block for polymorphic object.
3. Backtracking till the beginning of the try block.

6.Why Templates are used in C++?

The Templates are used to develop reusable software component such
as functions, classes, etc. Templates allow the construction of a family of templates
functions and classes to perform the same operations on different data types.

7. What are rules for invalid function template declaration?

The rules for invalid function template declaration are,
i. No-argument template function.
ii. Template–type argument unused.
iii. Usage of partial number of template arguments.

8. Write the syntax for function Template.

The syntax for function Template is,

Template <class T, ……..>

Return Type Fun_Name (arguments)
{

}

9. What are the error handling function in C++?

The error handling function in C++ is,
i. eof()
ii. fail()
iii. bad()
iv. good()

10. What are the rules for virtual function?

The rules for virtual function are,
i. They cannot be static members.
ii. They are access by using object pointers.
iii. A virtual function can be a friend of another class.

11. What are Streams?

Stream is a mechanism, which supplies the input data to a program and presents the
processed data in the desired form.

12. What are the file stream classes in C++?

The file stream classes in C++ are,
1. filebuf
2. fstreambase

13.List the different ways to handle exceptions

There are two ways to handle exceptions,
1. By wrapping the desired code in a try block followed by a catch block to catch the
exceptions. and
2. List the desired exceptions in the throws clause of the method and let the caller of the
method hadle those exceptions.

R.SARALA AP/IT
 III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

14.Examine the purpose of the finally clause of a try-catch-finally statement

Finally is usually used to close a code properly after its encountered an Exception or
Error. This means that no matter whether an exception/error comes or not, 1nce the try/try-
catch block ends, the finally block WILL be executed.

15.Tell the use of assert keyword

Assert is a Java keyword used to define an assert statement. An assert statement is used
to declare an expected boolean condition in a program. If the program is running with assertions
enabled, then the condition is checked at runtime. If the condition is false, the Java runtime
system throws an AssertionError .

16.Compare Input stream and Reader classes

You can wrap an InputStream and turn it into a Reader by using the InputStreamReader class.
InputStreams are used to read bytes from a stream. So they are useful for binary data such as images,
video and serialized objects. Readers on the other hand are character streams so they are best used to
read character data.

17.Compare Input stream and Reader classes

You can wrap an InputStream and turn it into a Reader by using the InputStreamReader class.
nputStreams are used to read bytes from a stream. So they are useful for binary data such as images, video
and serialized objects. Readers on the other hand are character streams so they are best used to read
character data.

18.Is it necessary that each try block must be followed by a catch block

It is not necessary that each try block must be followed by a catch block. Itshould be
followed by either a catch block or a finally block. And whatever exceptions are likely to be
thrown should be declared in the throws clause of the method.

19. How are the stream classes classified

The order or sequence of bytes in a Java stream allow the virtual machine toclassify it
among other streams. ... All Java streams are derived from Input Stream( java.io.InputStream ) and
Output Stream
( java.io.OutputStream ) classes. They are abstract base classes meant for other stream classes.

20. Describe runtime exceptions

Definition: An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program, that
disrupts the normal flow of the program's instructions. When an error occurs within a method, the method
creates an object and hands it off to theruntime system.

UNIT IV
PART A
1. Identify the different states in thread
A thread can be in any one of the following five states during its lifecycles:

New: A thread is created but didn͛t begin its executions.

Runnable: A thread that either is executing at present or that will execute when it gets the access to CPUs.
Terminated: A thread that has completed its executions.
Waiting: A thread that is suspended because it is waiting for some action to occur. For example, it is waiting
because of a call to the non-timeout version of wait() method or join() method or sleep()methods.
Blocked: A thread that has suspended executions because it is waiting to acquire a lock or waiting for some I/O
event to occur.

2. What do you mean by threads in Java

R.SARALA AP/IT
 III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

A thread, in the context of Java, is the path followed when executing a program.

AllJava programs have at least one thread, known as the main thread, which is created by

the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) at the program's start, when the main() method is invoked with the

main thread.

3.What is multithreading in java

Multithreading in java is a process of executing multiple threads simultaneously. Thread is

basically a lightweight sub-process, a smallest unit of processing. Multiprocessing andmultithreading,
both are used to achieve multitasking.

4.List out the motivation needed in generic programming

In a nutshell, generics enable types (classes and interfaces) to be parameters when defining
classes, interfaces and methods. Much like the more familiar formal parameters used in method
declarations, type parameters provide a way for you to re-use the same code with different inputs. The
difference is that the inputs to formal parameters are values, while the inputs to type parameters are
types.

5.What is meant by notify methods in multithreading

notify() and notifyAll() methods with wait() method are used to for communication
between the threads. ... But when we use notifyAll() method then multiple threadsgot
the notification but execution of threads will be performed one by one because thread requires lock
and only one lock is available for one object.
6.Define generic in java
Generics are a facility of generic programming that were added to the Java programming
language in 2004 within version J2SE 5.0. They were designed to extend Java's type system to allow
“a type or method to operate on objects of various types while providing compile-time type safety”[1].
The aspect compile-time type safety was not fully achieved, since it was shown in 2016 that it is not
guaranteed in all cases.[2]
7.How to start a thread
The first way is to extend the Thread class, override the run() method with the code you want to
execute, then create a new object from your class and call start(). The second method is to pass an
implementation of the Runnable interface to the constructor of Thread, then call start().

8.Describe synchronization in respect to multithreading

With respect to multithreading, synchronization is the capability to control the access of
multiple threads to shared resources.Without synchonization, it is possible for one thread to modify a
shared variable while another thread is in the process of using or updating same shared variable. This
usually leads to significant errors.

9.Why separate wait and sleep methods used in java programming.

Why Wait notify method is declared in Object Class and not in Thread in Java ... that wait and
notify still remains most confusing for most of Java programmer .... to separate wait() from Sleep()
method which is also used to put Thread on wait or ...

R.SARALA AP/IT
III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

10.Develop java interface must be implemented by all threads

All tasks must implement the run method, whether they are a subclass of thread or
implement the Runnable interface

11.Difference between suspending and difference stopping a thread in java

Suspending a thread in java puts thread to sleep indefinitely and it can also be
resumed, while on the other hand stop threading terminates the thread and it can not be resumed. ...
Once suspended it is also a simple matter to restart the thread.

12.Why separate wait and sleep methods used in java programming?

sleep():
It is a static method on Thread class. It makes the current thread into the
"Not Runnable" state for specified amount of time. During this time, the thread
keeps the lock (monitors) it has acquired.
wait():
It is a method on Object class. It makes the current thread into the "Not Runnable"
state. Wait is called on a object, not a thread. Before calling wait() method, the
object should be synchronized, means the object should be inside synchronized block.
The call to wait() releases the acquired lock.

13.Thread is a light weight process. Comment on this statement

Also threads within a process share the same address space because of which cost of
communication between threads is low as it is using the same code section, data section and OS resources,
so these all features of thread makes it a "lightweight process".
14.Why Errors are Not Checked?
A unchecked exception classes which are the error classes (Error and its subclasses) are exempted from
compile-time checking because they can occur at many points in the program and recovery from them is difficult or
impossible. A program declaring such exceptions would be pointlessly.

15.What is the purpose of the finally clause of a try-catch-finally statement?

The finally clause is used to provide the capability to execute code no matter whether or not an exception is
thrown or caught.

16. What if there is a break or return statement in try block followed by finally block?
If there is a return statement in the try block, the finally block executes right after the return statement
encountered, and before the return executes.
What are the different ways to handle exceptions? There are two ways to handle exceptions:
Wrapping the desired code in a try block followed by a catch block to catch the exceptions. List the desired
exceptions in the throws clause of the method and let the caller of the method handle those exceptions.

17.How to create custom exceptions?

By extending the Exception class or one of its subclasses.
Example:
class MyException extends Exception {
public MyException() { super(); }
public MyException(String s) { super(s); } }
Can we have the try block without catch block?

R.SARALA AP/IT
III SEM IT CS8392 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Yes, we can have the try block without catch block, but finally block should follow the try block.
Note: It is not valid to use a try clause without either a catch clause or a finally clause.
What is the difference between swing and applet?
Swing is a light weight component whereas Applet is a heavy weight Component. Applet does not require main method,
instead it needs init method.

18) 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.

19) Explain how to render an HTML page using only Swing.

Use a JEditorPane or JTextPane and set it with an HTMLEditorKit, then load the text into the pane.

1) 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.

2) How would you create a button with rounded edges?

There͛s 2 ways. The first thing is to know that a JButton͛s edges are drawn by a Border. so
you can override the Button͛s 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 button͛s border to it.

3) What is the difference between the ͚Font͛ and ͚FontMetrics͛ class?

The Font Class is used to render ͚glyphs͛ - 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)

4) 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.

5) Which containers use a border Layout as their default layout?

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

6) 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.

7) Difference between Swing and Awt?

AWT are heavy-weight componenets. Swings are light-weight components. Hence swing
works faster than AWT.

8) 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

9) 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.

10) Why would you use SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait or SwingUtilities.invokeLater?

I want to update a Swing component but I͛m not in a callback. If I want the update to
happen immediately (perhaps for a progress bar component) then I͛d use invokeAndWait. If I don͛t
care when the update occurs, I͛d use invokeLater.

11) 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

12) 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.

13) Why won͛t the JVM terminate when I close all the application windows?
The AWT event dispatcher thread is not a daemon thread. You must explicitly call
System.exit to terminate the JVM.

14) 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.

15) 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
.
16) 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.

17) 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.

18) 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 applet͛s page. destroy()
method - Can be called when the browser is finished with the applet.

19) 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.

20) What is the difference between a MenuItem and a CheckboxMenuItem?

The CheckboxMenuItem class extends the MenuItem class to support a menu item that
may be checked or unchecked.
