Java Lab Exercise

LAB 1 (Arrays and Control Structures)

1. Concatenate two strings and display the result
2. Write a Java program to create a jagged array to store the following pattern
1
1
2
1
2
3
1
2
3
4
1
2
3
4
5
Display the jagged array using for-each style for loop.
3. Write a program to accept two integers as command line parameters and print
their sum and average. If parameters are few (less than 2), then display the
usage syntax for the program (java Sum number1 number2) and quit.
4. Modify the above program to show an error message if parameter is not an
integer (Use try-catch).
5. Declare an integer, a byte and a double variable. Do type conversion and display
result.
6. Write a program to add and multiply 2 matrices.
7. Write a program that prints the average of 5 random numbers.
8. Write a program that generates a random integer N in the range 0 to 10 and
then tabulate the tangent function for n equally spaced value for x in the range 0
to 1/2 use the constant Math.PI and Math.tan() method.
9. Write an application that calculates the number of days from a given date
begin of the year.

10. A popular children's song goes like this:

1 man went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
1 man and his dog went to mow a meadow.
2 men went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
2 men, 1 man and his dog, went to mow a meadow.
3 men went to mow, went to mow a meadow,
3 men, 2 men, 1 man and his dog, went to mow a meadow.
Etc.
Write a program that will print this song. Store the number of men in a variable
and make sure that your program can handle any number of verses. Test it by
changing the number of men. Try printing out 100 men went to mow.
HINT - you will need nested loops for this (i.e. a loop inside a loop), and don't
forget your grammar (it is 2 men but 1 man)!!

LAB 2(Object Arrays and Methods)

1. Define a class student with three data members name (string type), roll no (int) and
mark (int) check status of student whether he is passed or not. For a pass one
should have marks >=50 for first class marks>=60 ,distinction marks>=75.check
marks and print status with name and roll number. Store the student details in an
array.
2. Define a class Clock with three private integer data members hour, min and sec.
Define a no argument constructor to initialize time value to 12:00:00. Define a three
argument constructor to initialize the time.
Define a methods to
a. Increment time to next second.
b. Display the time value.
c. Return the hour (int getHour())
d. Return the minute (int getMinute())
e. Return the seconds (int getSeconds())
f.

Compare two Clock objects (int compareTo(Clock clock))

example :clock1.compareTo(clock2)
return 1 if first time is bigger, 0 if both are equal, else return 1

Write a program to create two Clock objects and test the methods.
3. Design a class to represent a Bank account with the following members (name of the
depositor, account number, type of account, balance amount). Include necessary
constructor and methods to deposit an amount, withdraw amount after checking
balance and to display name and balance.
4. Write an application to display the current date. Also find new date by adding 10
months to the current date. (Hint : use java.util.Calendar class)
5. Write a java program to sort the numbers, which are randomly generated. Use the
static method sort (double []) from java.util.Arrays class for sorting and display the
sorted list using another method.
6. Write a "day calculator". This should prompt for the current day of the week (i.e. an
integer from 0 to 6 representing Sunday to Saturday), and it should then prompt for
any number of days in the future (also an integer) and display the result. The output
might look something like the following:
Day Calculator
Enter the day (integer): 3
Enter the number of days to add: 9

Today is Wednesday, in 9 days time it will be Friday

LAB 3 (Inheritance, Abstract Classes and Interfaces)

1. Define a class Staff with protected data members
staffId, salary, staffName
Derive class Faculty from Staff and include properties and methods regarding faculty.

Include a parameterized constructor and use super to initialize the base class
members.
2. Create an abstract class Student that has data member rollNum and methods
setRollNum(int ) and getRollNum() and contains abstract method show(). Derive
class Test from Student which has two data members of type float (mark1 and
mark2) and methods called setMarks(float, float) and getMarks(). Class Test must
override show() method.
3. Assume the bank maintain two types of accounts for customer, one is called saving
account and the other is current account .the saving account provides compound
interest and withdrawal facilities but no cheque book facility. The current account
provides chequebook facility but no interest. Current account holders should also
maintain a minimum balance falls below this, a service charge is imposed. Create a
class Account that stores customer name, account number and account type. From
this, derive two classes CurrentAccount and SavingsAccount to make them more
specific requirements. Include necessary methods in order to achieve following tasks
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.

Accept deposit from the customer and update the balance

Display the balance
Compute and deposit interest.
Permit withdrawal and update balance
Check the minimum balance, impose penalty, if necessary update the
balance
Use constructors to initialize class members for the three classes

4. Create an interface Area having a method compute .Use this interface to find the
area of rectangle and circle. Create separate class for shapes circle and rectangle,
both implements Area.
5. Create a package called homepack. Create two classes called Expenditure and
Income and include them in homepack. The Expenditure class has data-members
food, clothing, educational expenses etc. The Income class has data-members
salary, allowance and rent. Create a class Budget (outside of the package) which
uses classes of the packages to calculate saving of the family.
LAB 4( Exception Handling and Multithreading)
1. Define
checked
exception
classes
NoSufficientAmountException
and
NegativeAmountException. Create a class to encapsulate a bank Account. The
withdraw method throws NoSufficientAmountException if balance is not sufficient for
withdrawal. The deposit method should throw a NegativeAmountException if an
amount less than 0 is passed into it. Write a Bank application, which makes use of
the Account class. The program should handle the exceptions effectively.
2. Create an unchecked user-defined exception, which is to be generated

whenever the user inputs the string Hello.

3. Create a thread, which finds the number of semicolons contained in a file. Start two
instances of the thread from main to count the semicolons in two different files. The
main thread should stop only after the two child threads finish (use join). Display the
counts obtained.

4. Try the following example and make necessary modification so that makeDrink()
works for only one customer at a time. Only after serving first customer it should
consider another one. Also make necessary modifications to set different priorities for
the customer threads. Execute the program and see the order in which they are
served.
/*This class simulates a Hotel where the Customers are considered as threads. Each
customer is given the reference of a JuiceStall from where he can call makeDrink to
prepare the juice he like.*/
//The JuiceStall
class JuiceStall{
void makeDrink(String item){
System.out.println("[Started making\t"+item);
try{
Thread.sleep(1000);
}catch(InterruptedException e){
System.out.println("Interrupted");
}
System.out.println("\t"+item+"is ready]");
}
}
//The Customer
class Customer implements Runnable{
Thread service;
String item;
JuiceStall juice;
Customer(JuiceStall juice, String item){
this.juice=juice;
this.item=item;
service = new Thread(this);
service.start();
}
public void run(){
juice.makeDrink(item);
}
}
//The Hotel
class Hotel{
public static void main(String arg[]){
JuiceStall juice = new JuiceStall();
Customer c1 = new Customer(juice,"Lemon juice");
Customer c2 = new Customer(juice,"Orange juice");
Customer c3 = new Customer(juice,"Grape juice");
try{
c1.service.join();
c2.service.join();
c3.service.join();
}catch(InterruptedException e) {

}
}
