Core Java Course Assignments

Introduction to Classes and Members Part-I	Assignment-I Create a new Class Customer Create 2 Class Members - custId and custName Add new method print() Create instance of the class and invoke print method Assignment-II Try private and protected access modifiers for Customer class Create 2 inner Classes - Address and Contact Try private and protected access modifiers for inner classes Assignment-III Create total 4 member variables for Customer class Assign public, private, protected and default access modifiers respectively to these variables Try to access these variable from other classes [same package and different package]
Introduction to Classes and Members Part-II	Assignment-I Define a static variable custCount. This contains total count of customers Create 2 instances of Customer object Increment the custCount static variable and print its value after every increment Access custCount using class name as well as object name Assignment-II Define a final variable MAXPHONES. This contains maximum allowable phones for a customer record Initialize MAXPHONES Try to initialize in the constructor Access it using class name and object name
Introduction to Methods	Assignment-I Define a getter method for empId variable of Employee class Define setter method for empID variable taking int parameter Define a print method which prints the empID Assignment-II Define a static variable empCount for Employee class Define a static method to increment the empCount variable Invoke increment() method using class name Invoke increment() method using object name Assignment-III Define a print method with variable length argument list of type String Print the contents of the argument list using for loop
Constructors	Assignment-I Create Employee class Create instance of Employee class using default constructor. Does it execute? Now define default constructor, print a message inside it and execute the program Try to add one more constructor taking empID and empName as parameters. Create another object of Employee using this second constructor. Does the program execute? Remove the default constructor definition. Does the program execute? Assignment-II Define a private constructor for Employee class Define a protected constructor for Employee class Invoke both private and protected constructors from the main method. Does the program execute? Invoke both private and protected constructors from the subclass say ContractEmp. Does the program execute? Remove the public constructor for Employee class. How will another class create instance of Employee class?
Inheritance Part-I	Assignment-I Create a subclass Contractor for base class Employee Define a constructor for Contractor. Can you initialize all variables defined in the base class? Create instance of subclass Contractor. Are base class constructors accessible? Invoke Contractor's constructor. Which all constructors are getting invoked? Define a variable in Contractor matching its definition in the base class Employee. Is that allowed?
Inheritance Part-II	Assignment-I Implement equals method in Employee class Validate that the parameter to equals method is instance of Employee Perform comparison on empName Test that equals method returns true for two different objects having same empName
Polymorphism Part-I	Assignment-I Create base class Customer and subclasses SilverCustomer and GoldCustomer Define discount() method in Customer class whcih returns 20% discount Overload discount method in the subclasses and return different discount value Define base class variable as "Customer cust" Assign different objects of Customer, SilverCustomer and GoldCustomer to variable cust one after other and invoke discount method each time. What is the discount % returned each time? Assignment-II In the earlier assignment, how will you access the discount() method of Customer class from SilverCustomer and GoldCustomer classes?
Polymorphism Part-II	Assignment-I Continue earlier assignment in Polymorphism Part-I Define another discount method in Customer class taking String location as parameter. Can it be invoked? Can this method be invoked from SilverCustomer or GoldCustomer classes? Try to overload this discount(String) method in SilverCustomer class. Try to invoke it. Does the program run? Assignment-II Continue earlier assignment Define a new method getCustomer. This should return instance of Customer or SilverCustomer or GoldCustomer class randomly. Main method will call getCustomer and then invoke the discount() method on the object received. Execute and observe the results. Now create a new PlatinumCustomer class extending Customer class. Implement discount() method in this class How do you invoke discount method of PlatinumCustomer class without changing main method?
Abstract Classes	Assignment-I Create abstract class Car Define an abstract method ignition() Define a non-abstract/normal method changeGear(). Is this allowed? Create concrete classe Sedan. Overload ignition methods Create instance of Sedan and invoke ignition() and changeGear() methods. Does the program execute? Define a variable noOfWheels in Car class. Can it be accessed in Sedan class? Assignment-II Continue earlier assignment Create an abstract class SUV extending Car class. Do you need to implement all abstract methods of Car class here? Define method 4WheelDrive() in SUV class Create a concrete class Safari extending SUV class. Which methods must be implemented here?
Interfaces	Assignment-I Create a new interface to develop a simple Calculator Define two methods sum and divide in the interface. Can you implement the methods inside the interface? Create a new class which implements above interface. Do you need to implement both the methods here? Define a variable inside calculator interface? Can it be invoked from calculator implementation? Now define one more interface ScientificCalculator and add couple of methods Can you implementation class implement this new interface as well? Try it. Assignment-II Continue earlier assignment Define a variable whose type is an interface for the calculator Assign an object of calculator implementation Invoke methods defined by the interface using the interface reference. Does the program execute?
Exception Handling Part-I	Assignment-I Define a method doCalc() in a class. It accepts an int parameter iVal Perform following calculation "return 100/iVal;" Invoke it from main method by passing zero value. What happens when you execute? Introduce try-catch block around the method call. Which exception you need to catch for a meaningful message? Introduce a finally block after the catch block. When does it get called? In the catch block make sure that you print the complete stack trace of error. Write following code below the method call doCalc() "String str = argv[2];". Which exception is thrown on execution? Handle the exception using another catch block. Assignment-II Continue earlier assignment If you remove the two catch block, do you get any error during compilation time? Define a new function save() Try to open a physical file as follows: "FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream("I:\\emp.dat");". What happens when you compile this program? Handle the exception inside the save method using try-catch block Invoke this method save() from the main method. What happens when you execute this program?
Exception Handling Part-II	Assignment-I Continue earlier assignment in Exception Handling Part-I session Remove the try-catch block from the save method. Instead declare the exception in the method signature for save() method. Does the program compile without errors? Handle the exception in the main method by adding another catch block What happens when you execute this program? Assignment-II Continue with earlier assignment In the catch block of runtime exception viz ArrayIndexOutofBoundsException, throw a normal Exception Provide a custom message like "Error accessing parameters" etc. What happens when you execute this program? Assignment-III Raise new Error("...") randomly from the main method. Execute the program couple of times till you get the trace of Error. What information does the Error trace provide? Assignment-IV Create a custom exception by extending base class Exception. Define a member variable solution and provide getter/setter methods. Override printStackTrace method. How will you print your custom message followed by exception stack trace? Throw this custom exception instead of normal Exception and observe the stacktrace
