Preamble

This course is an introductory course to Java Programming Language. It introduces fundamental

structured and object-oriented programming concepts and techniques, for developing application using
Java. This will serve as foundation for the advanced studies that solves real world problems.

Objective of the course

 To learn the basic syntax and semantics of the Java language and programming environment
 Understand fundamentals of object-oriented programming in Java, including defining classes,
invoking methods, Inheritance, Polymorphism, Interfaces etc.
 Have the ability to write a java program to solve specified problems.
 Be able to use Java SDK environment to create, debug and run simple Java programs.
 Introduce event driven Graphical User Interface (GUI) programming

Expected Outcome
After successfully completing the course the student should be able to
1. Analyze and explain the behaviour of programs involving the fundamental program constructs
2. Design, write, and test a Java program to implement a solution to a given problem specification.
3. Identify and describe the properties of a variable such as its associated value, scope and lifetime
4. Develop Desktop applications & Multi-threaded programs in java.
5. Update themselves with Advance frameworks of java

Lab (Indicative List of Experiments (in the areas of ) 30hrs 9,18
1. Write a Java program to print sum of the squares of first n natural numbers.
2. Write a Java program to find the maturity value of a principal(P) due to the
rate of compound interest(r).
3. Get a string from the user and perform the following
(i) Take the last char and return a new string with the last char added at
the front and back.("bat"”tbatt”)
(ii) Return a new string where the first and last chars have been
exchanged. (“bat””tab”)
4. Write a Java Program to sort the string in a given array.
5. Write a Java code to find the distance from VIT University to major cities of
India.
Hint: Create String array of major cities and integer array of
distances. User gives the city name and the same is searched (use
binary search) in the respective array and displays result.
6. Write a Java program which has two classes which initializes a String in its
constructor
(i) A Generic class with 2 type Parameters
(ii) Create a Generic Class reference for the above 2 Class and try to
print the message inside the constructor (Use to string method).
7. Create a superclass, Student, and two subclasses, Undergrad and Grad. The
superclass Student should have the following data members: name, ID,
grade, age, and address.
The superclass, Student should have one method:
boolean isPassed (double grade)
The purpose of the isPassed method is to take one parameter, grade (value
between 0 and 100) and check whether the grade has passed the requirement
for passing a course.In the Student class this method should be empty as an
abstract method. The two subclasses: Grad and Undergrad, will inherit all
data members of the Student class and override the method isPassed. For
the UnderGrad class, if the grade is above 70.0, then isPassed returns true,
otherwise it returns false. For the Grad class, if the grade is above 80.0, then
isPassed returns true, otherwise returns false.
Create a test class for your three classes. In the test class, create one Grad
object and one Undergrad object. For each object, provide a grade and
display the results of the isPassed method.
8. Write a Java program which has Interface class for Stack Operations.
(i) A Class that implements the Stack Interface and creates a fixed
length Stack.
(ii) A Class that implements the Stack Interface and creates a Dynamic
length Stack.
9. Write a Java program using Synchronized Threads, which demonstrates
Producer Consumer concepts.
10. Write a Java program which handles Mouse and Keyboard Event using
Applet.
