Section—B
(Short Answer Type Questions)
2. Attempt all questions : 4 each

(CO1, UN)
[3] TCS–305
OR
How do you create and use objects in Java ?
Explain the significance of the “public static void
main(String[] args)” method in Java.
(b) Discuss the differences between the “public,”
“private,” “protected,” and “default” access
modifiers in Java. (CO1, UN)
OR
What is a Java package, and how does it help in
organizing code ? (CO1, UN)
(c) How does the concept of “interface” support
multiple inheritance in Java ? (CO2, AP)
OR
What is inheritance in Java, and why is it a
fundamental concept in object-oriented
programming ? (CO2, AP)
(d) What is the purpose of the try, catch, and finally
blocks in exception handling ? (CO3, AP)
OR
What is the purpose of the BufferedReader and
BufferedWriter classes in Java I/O ? (CO3, AP)
P. T. O.
[4] TCS–305
(e) What is the “wait-notify” mechanism in Java, and
how is it used for inter-thread communication ?
(CO4, AN)
OR
What are different states in lifecycle of Thread ?
(CO4, AN))
(f) How does the AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit)
library utilize event-driven programming for
building graphical user interfaces ? (CO5, AN)
OR
Discuss about Source, Event and Listeners in
event handling. (CO5, AN)
Section—C
(Long Answer Type Questions)
3. Attempt all questions : 8 each
(a) Write difference between a JDK and a JVM.
Develop a Java program that simulates a simple
calculator. Allow the user to enter two numbers
and an operator (+, –, *, /) , and then perform the
calculation and display the result. (CO1, CR)
OR
What is the argument of main() method ?
Develop a Java program that converts a
[5] TCS–305
temperature in degrees Celsius to degrees
Fahrenheit. Prompt the user to input a
temperature in Celsius, perform the conversion,
and then display the result in Fahrenheit using the
formula : Fahrenheit = (Celsius * 9/5) + 32.
(CO1, CR)
(b) Define inheritance and its type. Write a Java
program that demonstrates inheritance by
defining a superclass “Animal” and two
subclasses “Bird” and “Mammal.” The “Animal”
class should have a method called “makeSound,”
and each subclass should provide its own
implementation of this method to represent the
sound that the specific animal makes.
Additionally, each subclass should have a unique
property or behavior related to the type of animal
it represents. (CO2, CR)
OR
Define ArrayList and why ArrayList is differ
from Array ? Write a Java program to
demonstrate the use of ArrayList for managing a
list of students’ names. Create an ArrayList to
store student names, allow the user to add new
P. T. O.
[6] TCS–305
names, remove names, and display the list of
names. Use a menu-driven approach to interact
with the ArrayList, and provide options for
adding, removing, and displaying names. The
program should continue running until the user
chooses to exit. (CO2, CR)
(c) Explain Exception hierarchy in details. Create a
Java program that reads two numbers from the
user and performs division. Implement exception
handling to handle division by zero. If the user
attempts to divide by zero, catch the exception
and display an error message. Otherwise, display
the result of the division. The program should
handle exceptions gracefully and not crash.
(CO3, CR)
OR
What is Scanner class ? when was it introduced in
Java ? Create a Java program that writes data to a
text file. Allow the user to input lines of text, and
then write those lines to a file. (CO3, CR)
