Object-Oriented Language and Theory: Lab 05: Memory Management and Class Organization

This document provides instructions for Lab 05 on memory management and class organization in Java. It instructs students to: 1. Import/export projects and reorganize existing projects into packages with a recommended structure. 2. Add methods to the DigitalVideoDisc and Order classes to search for DVD titles and randomly select a free item. 3. Create classes to test the new methods and observe string concatenation performance using +, StringBuffer, and StringBuilder. 4. Create packages and classes to intentionally create "garbage" and observe memory issues, then solve the problems using techniques like StringBuffer. 5. Submit all work for the lab in a Lab05 directory by the deadline.

Lab 05: Memory Management and Class Organization
* Objectives:
In this lab, you will practice with:
• Creating packages to manage classes in Eclipse
• Using some common packages/classes of Java API, e.g. Wrapper classes, Math, System
• Practicing memory management with String and StringBuffer and other cases

You need to use the project that you did with the previous labs including both AimsProject and other
projects.

1. Import/export a project
- Open Eclipse
- You can import/export a project from/to an archive file. For example, if you want to
import from a zip file, you can follow the following steps:
+ Open File -> Import.
+ Type zip to find Archive File if you have exported as a zip file before. You may choose
Existing Projects into Workspace if you want to open an existing project in your computer.
Ignore this step if the AimsProject is already opened in the workspace.

- Click Next and Browse to a zip file or a project to open

2. Re-organize your projects
- Rename project, use packages and re-organize all hands-on labs and exercises from the
Lab01 up to now.
+ For renaming or moving an item (i.e. a project, a class, a variable…), right click to the
item, choose Refactor -> Rename/Move and follow the steps.

Figure 1-Refactoring

+ For creating a package, right click to the project (or go to menu File) and choose New ->
Package. Type the full path of package including parent packages, separated by a dot.
- Your structure of your labs should be at least as below. You can create sub-packages
for more efficently organizing your classes in both projects and all listing packages. All
hands-on labs and excercises of lab01 and lab02 should be put in the corresponding
package in the OtherProjects project.
For Global ICT

3. Search a dvd in AimsProject project:


- In the DigitalVideoDisc class, write a boolean search(String title) method
which finds out (case insensitive) if the corresponding disk of the current object contains the
title. Remember that if the title has multiple tokens (e.g. “Harry Potter”), the method still
returns true if the disc has a title including all the tokens (e.g. both two tokens “Harry” and
“Potter”) regardless their order and their distance (so true for all title including a token “Harry”
and a token “Potter” in any position in the title)
- In the Order class, write a method DigitalVideoDisc getALuckyItem() which
randomly pick out (remember to use Math.random()) an item for free. Remember to update
and test the methods for listing of dvds and total cost of an order (specifying a lucky and free
item).
- Create DiskTest class to test these methods

4. String, StringBuilder and StringBuffer:


- In the OtherProjects project, create a new package hust.soict.globalict.garbage
for ICT or hust.soict.hedspi.garbage for HEDSPI. We work with this package in this exercise.
- Create a new class ConcatenationInLoops to test the processing time to construct
String using + operator, StringBuffer and StringBuilder. The following piece of
code is a suggestion:

More information on String concatenation, please refer https://redfin.engineering/java-string-
concatenation-which-way-is-best-8f590a7d22a8.
- Create a new class GarbageCreator. Create “garbage” as much as possible and observe
when you run a program (it should let the program stop working when too much “garbage”. Write
another class NoGarbage to solve the problem.
Some suggestions:
- Read a text file to a String without using StringBuffer to concatenate String (only use +
operator). Observe and capture your screen when you choose a very long file
- Improve the code using StringBuffer
5. Assignment Submission
You must put all your work, written by yourself, to a directory Lab05, and push it to your
master branch of the valid repository before the deadline announced in the class.
Each student is expected to turn in his or her own work and not give or receive unpermitted aid.
Otherwise, we would apply extreme methods for measurement to prevent cheating.
