SUBJECTIVE QUESTIONS:
2. (a) Why is Java called machine independent
Language? Explain the functionality of JVM.
Ans:-
Java compiler produces a unique type of code called bytecode
unlike c compiler where compiler produces only natively executable
code for a particular machine.
When the Java program runs in a particular machine it is sent to
java compiler, which converts this code into intermediate code
called bytecode. This bytecode is sent to Java virtual machine
(JVM) which resides in the RAM of any operating system. JVM
recognizes the platform it is on and converts the bytecodes into
native machine code. Hence java is called platform independent
language.
JVM is the core of the Java platform and is responsible for:
1. Loading bytecodes from the class files
2. Verifying the loaded byte codes
3. Linking the program with the necessary libraries
4. Memory Management by Garbage Collection
5. Managing calls between the program and the host environment.
(b) What is the main difference between an application and
applet?
3. (a) What are the wrapper classes? Explain their uses.
(b) What does a dynamic Billboard Applet do? What are the
three main classes that the applet contain?
4. (a) What is the difference between process- based and
thread-based multitasking? Give the two ways by which a
thread can be created using Java.
(b) What is RMI? What is the difference between Naming.bind
and Naming.rebind methods? Write a short code to invoke a
remote method using Java RMI.
5. Write an Applet (Use swings) to display the following
outputs :
6. (a) What are the characteristics of JDBC? What are the
various steps for using JDBC? Write a program to demonstrate
these steps.
(b) What is the main purpose of a container component in
swing?
7. Design a class named Fan to represent a fan. The class
contains :
Three constants named SLOW, MEDIUM and FAST with
values 1, 2 and 3 to denote the fan speed.
A private int data field named speed that specifies the
speed of the fan (default SLOW).
A private boolean data field named on that specifies
whether the fan is on (default false)
A private double data field named radius that specifies the
radius of the fan (default 5).
A string data field named colour that specifies the colour of
the fan (default blue).
The accessor and mutator methods for all four data fields.
A no-arg constructor that creates a default fan.
A method named toString) that returns a string description
for the fan. If the fan is on, the method returns the fan
speed, colour, and radius in one combined string. If the fan
is not on, the method returns fan colour and radius along
with the string “fan is off in one combined string.
Implement the class. Write a test program that creates two
Fan objects. Assign maximum speed, radius 10, colour
yellow, and turn it onto the first object. Assign medium
speed, radius 5, colour blue, and turn it off to the second
object. Display the objects by invoking their toString
method.
8. Write a program in Java to demonstrate communication
using TCP/IP ie., using sockets. Write a separate code for a
server and client program. The program should display the
contents of the file specified in a server onto the client.
9. Write short notes on the following :
1) Interface
2) String builder class
3) Object passing
4) Types of JDBC drivers
5) Listener method
6) Java exceptions
7) Polymorphism
