Course outcome (Course Skill Set)
At the end of the course the student will be able to:
CO1 To explain the features and object oriented concepts in JAVA programming
CO2 To analyse working of bitwise operators in JAVA
CO3 To develop simple programs based on polymorphism and inheritance
CO4 To describe the concepts of importing packages and exception handling mechanism

Programming Assignments

1. Write a JAVA program that prints all real solutions to the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0. Read in a,
b, c and use the quadratic formula.
2. Write a JAVAprogram for multiplication of two arrays.
3. Demonstrate the following operations and sign extension with Java programs
(i) << (ii) >> (iii) >>>
4. Write aJAVA program to sort list of elements in ascending and descending order

5. Create a JAVA class called Student with the following details as variables within it.

USN
NAME
BRANCH
PHONE
PERCENTAGE
Write a JAVA program to create n Student objects and print the USN, Name, Branch, Phone, and percentage
of these objects with suitable headings.

6. Write a JAVA program demonstrating Method overloading and Constructor overloading.

7. Design a super class called Staff with details as StaffId, Name, Phone, Salary. Extend this class by
writing three subclasses namely Teaching (domain, publications), Technical (skills), and Contract
(period). Write a JAVA program to read and display at least 3 staff objects of all three categories.

8. Demonstrate dynamic dispatch using abstract class in JAVA.

9. Create two packages P1 and P2. In package P1, create class A, class B inherited from A, class C . In
package P2, create class D inherited from class A in package P1 and class E. Demonstrate working of
access modifiers (private, public, protected, default) in all these classes using JAVA.
10. Write a JAVA program to read two integers a and b. Compute a/b and print, when b is not zero. Raise
an exception when b is equal to zero. Also demonstrate working of ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException.

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)

Assessment Details (both CIE and SEE)
The weightage of Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE) is 50% and for Semester End Exam (SEE) is 50%. The
minimum passing mark for the CIE is 40% of the maximum marks (20 marks out of 50). The minimum passing
mark for the SEE is 35% of the maximum marks (18 marks out of 50). A student shall be deemed to have
satisfied the academic requirements and earned the credits allotted to each subject/ course if the student secures
not less than 35% (18 Marks out of 50) in the semester-end examination(SEE), and a minimum of 40% (40
marks out of 100) in the sum total of the CIE (Continuous Internal Evaluation) and SEE (Semester End
Examination) taken together.
Continuous Internal Evaluation (CIE):
The CIE marks for the theory component of the IC shall be 30 marks and for the laboratory
component 20 Marks.
CIE for the theory component of the IC
 Three Tests each of 20 Marks; after the completion of the syllabus of 35-40%, 65-70%, and
90-100% respectively.
 Two Assignments/two quizzes/ seminars/one field survey and report presentation/one-
course project totaling20 marks.
Total Marks scored (test + assignments) out of 80 shall be scaled down to 30 marks
CIE for the practical component of the IC

 On completion of every experiment/program in the laboratory, the students shall be

evaluated and marks shall be awarded on the same day. The 15 marks are for
conducting the experiment and preparation of the laboratory record, the other 05
marks shall be for the test conducted at the end of the semester.
 The CIE marks awarded in the case of the Practical component shall be based on the
continuous evaluation of the laboratory report. Each experiment report can be evaluated
for 10 marks. Marks of all experiments’ write-ups are added and scaled down to 15
marks.

 The laboratory test (duration 03 hours) at the end of the 15th week of the semester
/after completion of all the experiments (whichever is early) shall be conducted for 50
marks and scaled down to 05 marks.

Scaled-down marks of write-up evaluations and tests added will be CIE marks for the laboratory
component of IC for 20 marks.
 The minimum marks to be secured in CIE to appear for SEE shall be 12 (40% of
maximum marks) in the theory component and 08 (40% of maximum marks) in the
practical component. The laboratory component of the IC/IPCC shall be for CIE only.

However, in SEE, the questions from the laboratory component shall be included. The
maximum of 05 questions is to be set from the practical component of IC/IPCC, the total
marks of all questions should not be more than 25 marks.
The theory component of the IC shall be for both CIE and SEE.
Semester End Examination (SEE):
Theory SEE will be conducted by University as per the scheduled timetable, with common question papers for
the subject (duration 03 hours)
 The question paper shall be set for 100 marks. The medium of the question paper shall be English).
The duration of SEE is 03 hours.

The question paper will have 10 questions. Two questions per module. Each question is set for 20 marks.
The students have to answer 5 full questions, selecting one full question from each module. The student
has to answer for 100 marks and marks scored out of 100 shall be proportionally reduced to 30 marks.
There will be 2 questions from each module. Each of the two questions under a module (with a
maximum of 3 sub-questions), should have a mix of topics under that module.
