a) What is a Java Program Structure?

A typical Java program structure includes the following components:

1. Package Declaration: Specifies the package name.
2. Import Statements: Imports other Java classes.
3. Class Declaration: Defines the class.
4. Main Method: Entry point of the program.
5. Methods and Variables: Define the behavior and state of the class.
b) Define this Keyword
The this keyword in Java is a reference variable that refers to the current object. It is used to:
1. Refer to the current class instance variable.
2. Invoke the current class method.
3. Invoke the current class constructor.
c) Explain in Detail the Data Types in Java
Java has two categories of data types:
1. Primitive Data Types: Includes byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, and boolean.
2. Non-Primitive Data Types: Includes classes, interfaces, arrays, and strings.
Primitive Data Types:
 byte: 8-bit integer.
 short: 16-bit integer.
 int: 32-bit integer.
 long: 64-bit integer.
 float: 32-bit floating-point.
 double: 64-bit floating-point.
Non-Primitive Data Types:
 String: Represents a sequence of characters.
 Array: Represents a collection of similar types of elements.
 Class: Blueprint for creating objects.
 Interface: Abstract type used to specify a behavior that classes must implement.
d) What is an Interface?
An interface in Java is a reference type, similar to a class, that can contain only constants, method
signatures, default methods, static methods, and nested types. Interfaces cannot contain instance
fields or constructors. They are used to achieve abstraction and multiple inheritance.
Example:
java
interface Animal {
void eat(); }
e) What is the Use of Reader and Writer Class?
The Reader and Writer classes in Java are used for reading and writing character streams, respectively.
They are part of the java.io package and provide methods to read and write data from and to files,
strings, and other sources.
f) Which Method is Used to Specify Container's Layout with Syntax
The setLayout method is used to specify a container's layout in Java.
Syntax:
java
Container.setLayout(LayoutManager layout);
Example:
java
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
g) What is the Default Layout for Frame and Panel?
 Frame: The default layout for a Frame is BorderLayout.
 Panel: The default layout for a Panel is FlowLayout.
h) Explain Modifiers and Access Controls Used in Java
Modifiers in Java are keywords that change the meaning of a declaration. They are categorized into:
1. Access Modifiers: Control the visibility of classes, methods, and variables.
o public: Accessible from any class.

o protected: Accessible within the same package and subclasses.

o default: Accessible within the same package.

o private: Accessible within the same class.

2. Non-Access Modifiers: Provide additional functionality.

o static: Belongs to the class, rather than instances.

o final: Prevents modification.

o abstract: Indicates that a class or method is abstract.

o synchronized: Controls thread access.

o volatile: Indicates that a variable's value may change unexpectedly.

i) List and Explain Any 2 In-Built Exceptions

1. NullPointerException: Thrown when an application attempts to use null in a case where an
object is required. Example:
java
String str = null;
System.out.println(str.length()); // Throws NullPointerException
2. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: Thrown to indicate that an array has been accessed with
an illegal index. Example:
java
int[] arr = new int[5];
System.out.println(arr[10]); // Throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

j) Explain the Purpose of getContentPane()

The getContentPane() method in Java is used to get the content pane layer of a JFrame. The content
pane is where components like buttons, labels, and text fields are added.
Example:
java
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();
contentPane.add(new JButton("Click Me"));
frame.setSize(300, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
Q2) Attempt any four:
a) Explain in Detail the Features of Java
Java is a popular programming language known for its features:
1. Object-Oriented: Everything in Java is an object, promoting modular and reusable code.
2. Platform-Independent: Java code is compiled into bytecode, which can run on any platform
with a JVM.
3. Simple: Java is designed to be easy to learn and use.
4. Secure: Java provides a secure environment through its runtime environment and security
features.
5. Robust: Java has strong memory management and exception handling features.
6. Multithreaded: Java supports multithreading, allowing concurrent execution of two or more
threads.
7. High Performance: Java's Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler enhances performance.
8. Distributed: Java supports distributed computing with its networking capabilities.
b) What are the Rules for Method Overloading and Method Overriding? Explain with
Example
Method Overloading:
 Methods must have the same name but different parameters (type, number, or both).
 Can occur within the same class or subclass.
Method Overriding:
 Methods must have the same name, return type, and parameters.
 Occurs in a subclass, providing a specific implementation of a method already defined in its
superclass.
c) Differentiate Between Interface and Abstract Class

Feature Interface Abstract Class

Can have both abstract and concrete

Methods Only abstract methods (Java 7 and below)
methods

Fields Only static and final fields Can have instance variables

Multiple

Implemented by classes using implements Extended by classes using extends

d) Explain the Concept of Exception and Exception Handling

Exception: An exception is an event that disrupts the normal flow of a program's instructions. It is an
object that represents an error or unexpected behavior.
Exception Handling: Exception handling is a mechanism to handle runtime errors, ensuring the
normal flow of the application. It uses five keywords: try, catch, finally, throw, and throws.
What are the different types of streams? Explain in details.
In Java, streams are used to perform input and output (I/O) operations. There are two main types of
streams: byte streams and character streams. Each type of stream is designed to handle different kinds
of data.
1. Byte Streams
Byte streams are used to handle raw binary data. They read and write data in bytes (8-bit units). Byte
streams are suitable for handling all kinds of I/O, including text, images, and audio files. The main
classes for byte streams are InputStream and OutputStream
2. Character Streams
Character streams are used to handle character data. They read and write data in characters (16-bit
units). Character streams are suitable for handling text data. The main classes for character streams
are Reader and Writer.
Difference Between Swing and AWT
Swing and AWT are both part of Java's GUI toolkit, but they have some key differences:

AWT (Abstract Window

What is Collection? Explain Collection Framework in Details

Collection: A collection in Java is a framework that provides an architecture to store and manipulate a
group of objects. Collections are used to perform various operations such as searching, sorting,
insertion, manipulation, and deletion.
Collection Framework: The Java Collection Framework provides a set of interfaces and classes to
handle collections of objects. It is part of the java.util package and includes several important interfaces
and classes.
a) Define new Operator
The new operator in Java is used to create new objects. It allocates memory for the object and returns a
reference to that memory. The new operator is followed by a call to a constructor, which initializes the
new object
b) Define Term finalize() Method
The finalize() method in Java is called by the garbage collector before an object is destroyed. It is used
to perform cleanup operations, such as releasing resources or closing connections. The finalize()
method is defined in the Object class and can be overridden by subclasses
c) Define Package with All the Steps for Package Creation
A package in Java is a namespace that organizes classes and interfaces. It helps to avoid name conflicts
and to control access. Packages also make it easier to locate and use related classe
