Java as a class-based and pure OOP language is used to demonstrate and implement appropriate concepts and techniques. The
students are exposed to the concepts, fundamental syntax, and the thought processes behind object-oriented programming. By
end of the course, students will acquire the basic knowledge and skills necessary to implement object-oriented programming
techniques in software development using Java.

Course Outcomes (COs): At the end of the course, student will be able to

COs Course Outcomes

1 Understand the basic structure of Java Programming Language and the Object Oriented concepts in Java Programming

2 Use Exception handling and Multithreading concept tocreate efficient software applications.
3 Design and develop GUI based applications using swings

23 Write a Menu Driven Program in Java which performs sorting of a group of integer values using bubble sort
method
24 Write a class called “Student” with
a) Instance variable roll_no, name, semester and branch
b) A method called “setdata ()” which takes 4 parameters and returns void. This method mustcontain statements to
set the values of instance variables of each object of” Student” class
c) A method called “calculate ()” which does not have any input parameter and returns a double value. This
method must contain statements to take input for marks of 5 subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics,
English and Hindi) and calculate the percentage of marks using formula:
Percentage marks= (Total marks/500) *100
The method must also contain a return statement to return the calculated percentage value
d) A method called “showdata ()” which does not take any parameter and returns void. Thismethod must contain
statement to display the values of roll no, name, semester, branch and percentage of mark of each object of
“Student” class
Write another class “StudentRecord” which contains the main () method. Inside the main() method write statements
to create 3 different object of “Student” class and display the values of their instance variable with the calculated
percentage of marks for each of them using Menu
25 Write a class called “Employee” with
a) Instance variables Employee code, Employee name and Basic salary
b) A parameterized constructor which contains statements to set the values of instance variables of each object of
“Employee” class
c) A method called “calculate ()” which does not have input parameter and it returns a doublevalue. This method
contains statements to calculate the gross salary of an Employee objectusing the formula
HRA= 60% of Basic salaryDA=
98% Basic salary
Gross Salary= Basic Salary + HRA + DA
This method must contain a return statement to return the calculated value of Gross salary
d) A method called “showdata ()” which does not take any parameter and return void. This method must contain
statements to display the values of instance variables and calculatedgross salary of each object of “Employee”
class
Write another class “EmployeeRecord” which contains the main () method. Inside the main()method write statements
to create 3 different object of “Employee” class and display the values of their instance variable with the calculated
gross salary for each of them using Menu
