SECTION-A

1. Identify the characteristics of identifiers.

Identifiers in Java must start with a letter, underscore, or dollar sign, and can
include digits but not start with them. They are case-sensitive and cannot be
Java keywords.

2. Recognize the purpose of applying comments.

Comments are used to add notes or explanations to the code, making it easier
to understand and maintain. They can also be used to temporarily disable
parts of the code.

3. Recall all the types of inheritances.

Java supports single inheritance, multilevel inheritance, hierarchical
inheritance, and multiple inheritance through interfaces.

4. Interpret the various operators.

Java has various operators, including arithmetic (+, -, *, /, %), relational (==, !=,
<, >, <=, >=), logical (&&, ||, !), and assignment (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=) operators.

5. Recall downcasting with an instance.

Downcasting is the process of casting a superclass reference to a subclass type.
It is done using the cast operator, e.g., (Dog) animal.

6. Recognize the purpose of applying ;.

The semicolon (;) is used to terminate a statement in Java.

7. Examine the reason behind public class Main {.

The public class Main is the main entry point for Java applications, where the
JVM looks for the public static void main(String[] args) method.

8. Interpret the methodology of applying static class in a program.

A static class is a nested class that can be used without an instance of the outer
class. Its members cannot access instance members of the outer class.

9. Compare the packages and interfaces giving out any four similarities.
Both packages and interfaces are used for organization and structure, can
contain multiple elements, support access modifiers, and enhance code
reusability.

10. Employ the technique of using static methods in a program.

Static methods belong to the class, not instances, and can be called without
creating an instance of the class. They are useful for utility methods.

11. Recognize the types of packages.

Java has built-in packages (e.g., java.lang, java.util) and user-defined packages.
12. Interpret these keywords with its features – super & final.
The super keyword accesses superclass members, while the final keyword is

methods.

20. How can you pass some parameters to an applet?

Parameters can be passed to an applet through HTML using the <param> tag.

21. Infer the properties of Java Servlet.

Java Servlet is a server-side technology that handles HTTP requests and
responses, and is platform-independent.

22. Determine the set of methods which define the lifecycle of a Servlet.
The servlet lifecycle methods are init(), service(), and destroy().
23. Recognize the uses of = = and = Operators.
The == operator checks for equality, while the = operator is used for
assignment.

24. Relate class and constructors with examples.

A class is a blueprint for objects, and constructors are special methods used to
initialize objects

25. Define the method overriding.

Method overriding is when a subclass provides a different implementation of
a method in the superclass.

26. Employ the technique of using static methods in a program.

Static methods are utility methods that belong to the class, not instances.

39. Employ the Application Architecture with an example.

Application architecture defines the structure and interaction of components,
e.g., MVC architecture.

40. Illustrate the Working with Result Set with an example.

Working with Result Set involves processing database query results, iterating
over the result set, and retrieving data.

SECTION-B
1. Elaborate on the data types with illustrations.
Java is a statically-typed language, meaning that the data type of a
variable is known at compile time. Java has two main categories of data
types:
a. Primitive Data Types: These are the basic data types in Java.
● byte (1 byte)
● short (2 bytes)
● int (4 bytes)
● long (8 bytes)
● float (4 bytes)
● double (8 bytes)
● char (2 bytes)
● boolean (1 byte)
Example:
int x = 10;
double y = 10.5;
char z = 'A';
b. Reference Data Types: These are data types that refer to
objects.
● Classes (e.g., String, ArrayList)
● Interfaces
● Arrays
Example:
String name = "John";
int[] scores = {90. 80, 70, 60};

2. Create a single dimensional array of any datatype with an example.

A single dimensional array is a collection of elements of the same data
type stored in contiguous memory locations. Here's an example of
creating a single dimensional array of integers:
int[] scores = new int[5];
scores[0] = 90;
scores[1] = 80;
scores[2] = 70;
scores[3] = 60;
scores[4] = 50;
Accessing Array Elements:
You can access each element of the array using its index. For example:
System.out.println("Score at index 0: " + scores[0]);
System.out.println("Score at index 1: " + scores[1]);
Example Use Case:
You can use a loop to iterate over the array and print all the scores:
for (int i = 0; i < scores.length; i++) {
System.out.println("Score at index " + i + ": " + scores[i]);
}
This will output:
Score at index 0: 90
Score at index 1: 80
Score at index 2: 70
Score at index 3: 60
Score at index 4: 50

3. Compare and contrast the different looping control flow statements

with their advantages and disadvantages.
Java has three looping control flow statements: for loop, while loop,
and do-while loop. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
1. For Loop:
● Used when the number of iterations is known.
● Syntax: for (initialization; condition; increment/decrement)
● Advantages:
o Easy to use when the number of iterations is known.
o Can iterate over arrays and collections.
● Disadvantages:
o Less flexible than while loop.
 Example:
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.println(i);
}
2. While Loop:
● Used when the number of iterations is unknown.
● Syntax: while (condition)
● Advantages:
o More flexible than for loop.
o Can be used when the number of iterations is unknown.
● Disadvantages:
o Requires manual increment/decrement of loop variable.
Example:
int i = 0;
while (i < 5) {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
}
3. Do-While Loop:
● Used when the loop body needs to be executed at least once.
● Syntax: do { ... } while (condition)
● Advantages:
o Ensures the loop body is executed at least once.
● Disadvantages:
o Less commonly used than for and while loops.
Example:
int i = 0;
do {
System.out.println(i);
i++;
} while (i < 5);

4. Explain interfaces with examples.

An interface is a abstract class that defines a contract or a set of
methods that must be implemented by any class that implements it.
Interfaces are used to achieve abstraction, multiple inheritance, and
loose coupling.
Key Features:
● Interfaces are abstract and cannot be instantiated.
● Interfaces can only contain method declarations and constant
variables.
● Classes that implement an interface must provide an
implementation for all methods declared in the interface.
Example:
interface Shape {
 void draw();
}

class Circle implements Shape {

public void draw() {
System.out.println("Drawing a circle");
}
}
Benefits:
● Interfaces provide a way to achieve multiple inheritance in Java.
● Interfaces help to define a contract or a set of methods that
must be implemented.
● Interfaces promote loose coupling between classes.
Use Case:
You can use interfaces to define a common set of methods that can be
implemented by different classes. For example, you can define an
interface Printable that has a method print(), and then have different
classes implement this interface to provide their own implementation
of the print() method.
interface Printable {
void print();
}

class Document implements Printable {

@Override
public void print() {
System.out.println("Printing a document");
}
}

class Photo implements Printable {

@Override
public void print() {
System.out.println("Printing a photo");
}
}

5. Interpret the abstract keyword with examples.

The abstract keyword is used to declare abstract classes and methods
in Java.
● Abstract Class: A class declared with the abstract
keyword cannot be instantiated and is used as a base class for other
classes.
 ●Abstract Method: A method declared with the abstract
keyword has no implementation and must be implemented by
subclasses.
abstract class Animal {
abstract void sound();
}

class Dog extends Animal {

void sound() {
System.out.println("Barking");
}
}
Key Points:
● Abstract classes can have both abstract and non-abstract
methods.
● Subclasses must implement all abstract methods of the
superclass.
Benefits:
● Abstract classes provide a way to achieve abstraction and code
reuse.
● Abstract methods ensure that subclasses implement specific
methods.

6. Assess the commonly used this keyword with instances.

The this keyword in Java is a reference to the current object of the
class. It is used to access class members, such as variables and
methods, and to pass the current object as an argument to another
method.
Uses of this keyword:
a. Accessing class variables: this keyword is used to access class
variables when there is a naming conflict between class variables
and local variables.
class Person {
String name;

Person(String name) {
this.name = name; // accessing class variable
}
}
b. Calling other constructors: this keyword can be used to call other
constructors in the same class.
class Person {
String name;

Person() {
 this("John"); // calling another constructor
}

Person(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
}
c. Passing the current object as an argument: this keyword can be
used to pass the current object as an argument to another method.
class Person {
void printPerson() {
System.out.println(this); // passing the current object
}
}

7. Evaluate the implementation of Multithreading methods with

examples.
Multithreading is a technique in Java where multiple threads are
executed concurrently, improving the performance and
responsiveness of a program. There are two ways to implement
multithreading in Java:
a. Extending the Thread class: By extending the Thread class, you can
override the run() method to define the code that will be executed
in a separate thread.
class MyThread extends Thread {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread is running");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

MyThread thread = new MyThread();
thread.start();
}
}
b. Implementing the Runnable interface: By implementing the
Runnable interface, you can define the code that will be executed
in a separate thread in the run() method.
class MyRunnable implements Runnable {
public void run() {
System.out.println("Thread is running");
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

MyRunnable runnable = new MyRunnable();
Thread thread = new Thread(runnable);
 thread.start();
}
}

8. Deduce the similarities and differences between static methods and

classes.
Similarities:
● Both static methods and classes belong to the class, not
instances of the class.
● Both can be accessed without creating an instance of the class.
Differences:
1. Purpose: Static methods are used to declare methods that
belong to the class, while static classes are used to declare
nested classes that belong to another class.
2. Scope: Static methods can be used in any class, while static
classes are used to group related methods and variables in a
nested class.
3. Access: Static methods can access static variables and other
static methods, while static classes can access static members
of the outer class.
4. Instantiation: Static classes cannot be instantiated directly,
while static methods do not require instantiation to be called.
5. Use case: Static methods are often used for utility methods,
while static classes are used to group related methods and
variables in a nested class.
Examples:
● Static method:
class MathUtils {
public static int add(int a, int b) {
return a + b;
}
}
● Static class:
class OuterClass {
public static class InnerClass {
public static void printMessage() {
System.out.println("Hello");
}
}
}

9. Illustrate the role of adapter classes in Java programming.

Adapter classes in Java play a crucial role in simplifying interface
implementation and event handling. Here are key roles of adapter
classes:
 ● Simplifying Interface Implementation: Adapter classes provide a
default implementation of an interface, allowing you to override only the
methods you need. This reduces code duplication and improves readability.
● Reducing Code Complexity: By providing empty implementations for
unused methods, adapter classes help reduce code complexity and make your
program more maintainable.
● Improving Flexibility: Adapter classes enable you to focus on specific
methods without implementing unnecessary ones, making your code more
flexible and efficient.
● Handling Events: Adapter classes are commonly used in event handling,
such as mouse and keyboard events, to simplify the implementation of listener
interfaces.
● Integrating Incompatible Systems: Adapter classes can bridge the gap
between incompatible systems, allowing them to work together seamlessly.
● Streamlining Development: By minimizing boilerplate code, adapter
classes help streamline development and make your code more concise.

10. Deduce the similarities and differences between Exception handling

methods.
Similarities:
● All exception handling methods aim to handle runtime errors
and exceptions in a program.
● They all use try-catch blocks to enclose code that may throw
exceptions.
Differences:
1. Checked vs Unchecked Exceptions: Checked exceptions are
checked at compile-time, while unchecked exceptions are checked at runtime.
2. Try-Catch Block: The try block encloses code that may throw an
exception, while the catch block handles the exception.
3. Throw vs Throws: The throw keyword is used to throw an
exception explicitly, while the throws keyword is used to declare exceptions
that a method may throw.
4. Exception Types: Java has two types of exceptions: checked
exceptions (e.g., IOException) and unchecked exceptions (e.g.,
NullPointerException).
5. Handling Mechanism: Exceptions can be handled using try-
catch blocks, or they can be propagated to the caller method using the throws
keyword.
6. Custom Exceptions: Developers can create custom exceptions
by extending the Exception class or one of its subclasses.
7. Finally Block: The finally block is used to execute code
regardless of whether an exception is thrown or not.

11. Deduce the similarities and differences between Multithreading

methods.
 Similarities:
● Both Thread class and Runnable interface are used to create threads.
● Both methods allow for concurrent execution of multiple threads.
Differences:
1. Thread Class: By extending the Thread class, you can override the run()
method to define the code that will be executed in a separate thread.
2. Runnable Interface: By implementing the Runnable interface, you can
define the code that will be executed in a separate thread in the run() method.
3. Inheritance: When extending the Thread class, you can't extend any
other class. When implementing the Runnable interface, you can extend
another class.
4. Code Organization: Using the Runnable interface can help organize
code better by separating the thread logic from the main class.
5. Flexibility: Implementing the Runnable interface provides more
flexibility in programming.
6. Reusability: Implementing the Runnable interface allows for better
code reusability.
7. Thread Safety: Both methods require careful consideration of thread
safety.

1. Public: The public access specifier makes a class, method, or variable
accessible from anywhere in the program.
 2. Private: The private access specifier makes a method or variable
accessible only within the same class.
3. Protected: The protected access specifier makes a method or variable
accessible within the same class and its subclasses.
4. Default (no modifier): The default access specifier makes a class,
method, or variable accessible within the same package.
These access specifiers provide a way to encapsulate data and
behavior, ensuring that sensitive information is not exposed to
unauthorized access.

and their behavior, making it easy to model complex systems.

SECTION-C

1. Analyze Garbage collections with its types.

Garbage collection is a process in Java that automatically
manages memory by reclaiming memory occupied by objects
that are no longer needed or referenced. This process helps to
prevent memory leaks and reduces the risk of bugs that can
occur due to manual memory management.
Types of Garbage Collection:
1. Minor GC: A minor GC occurs when the young generation is
full, and it reclaims memory from the young generation. This
type of GC is typically faster and more frequent than major GCs.
2. Major GC: A major GC occurs when the old generation is full,
and it reclaims memory from the old generation. This type of
GC is typically slower and less frequent than minor GCs.
3. Full GC: A full GC occurs when the entire heap is full, and it
reclaims memory from the entire heap. This type of GC is
typically the slowest and least frequent.
How Garbage Collection Works:
1. Object Creation: Objects are created in the heap memory, and
the JVM keeps track of object references.
2. Object Becomes Eligible for GC: When an object is no longer
referenced, it becomes eligible for garbage collection.
3. GC Cycle: The garbage collector runs periodically to identify
and reclaim memory from eligible objects.
4. Memory Reclamation: The garbage collector reclaims memory
from eligible objects, making it available for future allocations.
Benefits of Garbage Collection:
1. Memory Management: Garbage collection automatically
manages memory, reducing the risk of memory leaks and bugs.
2. Improved Productivity: Garbage collection eliminates the
need for manual memory management, improving developer
productivity.
 3. Reduced Risk of Bugs: Garbage collection reduces the risk of
bugs that can occur due to manual memory management.
Generational Garbage Collection:
1. Young Generation: The young generation is a pool of objects
that are recently created and have a short lifetime.
2. Old Generation: The old generation is a pool of objects that
have survived multiple garbage collection cycles and have a
longer lifetime.
3. Generational Collection: Garbage collection is performed on
each generation separately, allowing for more efficient
memory management.
Garbage Collection Algorithms:
1. Mark-and-Sweep: The mark-and-sweep algorithm identifies
live objects by marking them and then sweeping the heap to
reclaim memory from unmarked objects.
2. Concurrent Mark-and-Sweep: The concurrent mark-and-
sweep algorithm runs garbage collection concurrently with
application execution, reducing pause times.
3. Generational Collection Algorithms: Generational collection
algorithms, such as the young and old generations, allow for
more efficient memory management.

2. Illustrate Wrapper classes with examples

. Wrapper classes in Java are classes that encapsulate primitive
data types, providing a way to use primitive types as objects.
These classes are part of the java.lang package and are used to
wrap primitive types in object-oriented wrappers.
Characteristics of Wrapper Classes:
● Encapsulation: Wrapper classes encapsulate primitive
data types, providing a way to use them as objects.
● Immutability: Wrapper classes are immutable,
meaning their values cannot be changed once created.

3. Java is a Language that handles exceptions and executes

multithreading concept. Justify.
Java is a robust programming language that provides
built-in support for exception handling and
multithreading, making it a popular choice for developing
large-scale applications.
Exception Handling:
Java's exception handling mechanism allows developers to
handle runtime errors and exceptions in a structured and
controlled way. This is achieved through the use of try-
catch-finally blocks, which enable developers to:
● Catch and handle specific exceptions, preventing program
termination
● Provide meaningful error messages and logging
● Perform cleanup actions in the finally block, ensuring
resource release
Java's exception handling features include:
● Checked exceptions: Compile-time checks for potential
exceptions
● Unchecked exceptions: Runtime exceptions that are not
checked at compile-time
● Custom exceptions: User-defined exceptions for specific
application needs
Multithreading:
 Java's multithreading capabilities enable developers to
create concurrent threads that can execute
simultaneously, improving program responsiveness,
efficiency, and performance. Java's multithreading
features include:
● Thread creation: Extending the Thread class or
implementing the Runnable interface
● Thread synchronization: Using synchronized methods or
blocks to ensure data integrity
● Thread communication: Using wait(), notify(), and
notifyAll() methods for inter-thread communication
● Thread states: New, runnable, running, waiting, timed
waiting, and terminated
Java's multithreading benefits include:
● Improved responsiveness: Performing time-consuming
tasks in separate threads
● Increased throughput: Executing multiple threads
concurrently
● Efficient resource utilization: Minimizing idle time and
maximizing CPU usage
Justification:
Java's built-in support for exception handling and
multithreading makes it an ideal language for developing
robust, scalable, and concurrent systems. By providing a
structured approach to exception handling and
multithreading, Java enables developers to write reliable,
efficient, and maintainable code.
In conclusion, Java's exception handling and
multithreading capabilities make it a powerful language
for developing large-scale applications that require
robustness, concurrency, and performance.

4. Java is a Static and Strongly Typed Language. Justify.

Java is indeed a statically and strongly typed language, which
contributes to its reliability, maintainability, and performance.
Statically Typed:
Java is a statically typed language, meaning that the data type
of a variable is known at compile-time. This implies that the
compiler checks the types of variables, method parameters, and
return types before the code is executed. The benefits of static
typing in Java include:
● Type Safety: The compiler ensures that the types are
compatible, preventing type-related errors at runtime.
● Early Error Detection: Type-related errors are caught at
compile-time, reducing the likelihood of runtime errors.
 ● Better Code Completion: Static typing enables better
code completion and code analysis, as the compiler has
knowledge of the types.
Strongly Typed:
Java is also a strongly typed language, which means that it
enforces strict type rules, preventing implicit type conversions
that might lead to data loss or corruption. Key aspects of strong
typing in Java include:
● No Implicit Type Conversions: Java does not perform
implicit type conversions that might result in data loss,
ensuring that the type system is strict and predictable.
● Explicit Casting: When necessary, developers must use
explicit casting to convert between types, making the code
more readable and maintainable.
● Type Checking: Java's strong typing ensures that the
type of a variable is consistent with its usage, preventing type-
related errors.
Benefits of Static and Strong Typing:
The combination of static and strong typing in Java provides
several benefits, including:
● Improved Code Quality: Static and strong typing help
developers catch type-related errors early, resulting in
more reliable code.
● Better Performance: By knowing the types at compile-
time, the JVM can optimize the code for better
performance.
● Easier Maintenance: Strong typing makes the code more
readable and maintainable, as the type system is explicit
and predictable.
Justification:
In conclusion, Java's static and strong typing features make it a
reliable and maintainable language. By enforcing strict type
rules and checking types at compile-time, Java prevents type-
related errors and ensures that the code is more predictable
and efficient. This justification highlights the key aspects of
Java's type system, demonstrating its static and strong typing
nature.
