Subject: IT2305 - JAVA PROGRAMMING LAB Class: III year IT List of Experiments:
1. Develop a Java package with simple Stack and Queue classes. Use JavaDoc comments for documentation. 2. Design a class for Complex numbers in Java. In addition to methods for basic operations on complex numbers, provide a method to return the number of active objects created. 3. Design a Date class similar to the one provided in the java.util package. 4. Develop with suitable hierarchy, classes for Point, Shape, Rectangle, Square, Circle, Ellipse, Triangle, Polygon, etc. Design a simple test application to demonstrate dynamic polymorphism. 5. Design a Java interface for ADT Stack. Develop two different classes that implement this interface, one using array and the other using linked-list. Provide necessary exception handling in both the implementations. 6. Write a Java program to read a file that contains DNA sequences of arbitrary length one per line (note that each DNA sequence is just a String). Your program should sort the sequences in descending order with respect to the number of 'TATA' subsequences present. Finally write the sequences in sorted order into another file. 7. Develop a simple paint-like program that can draw basic graphical primitives in different dimensions and colors. Use appropriate menu and buttons. 8. Develop a scientific calculator using even-driven programming paradigm of Java. 9. Develop a template for linked-list class along with its methods in Java. 10. Design a thread-safe implementation of Queue class. Write a multi-threaded producer-consumer application that uses this Queue class. 11. Write a multi-threaded Java program to print all numbers below 100,000 that are both prime and fibonacci number (some examples are 2, 3, 5, 13, etc.). Design a thread that generates prime numbers below 100,000 and writes them into a pipe. Design another thread that generates fibonacci numbers and writes them to another pipe. The main thread should read both the pipes to identify numbers common to both. 12. Develop a multi-threaded GUI application of your choice.

Ex no 1: To Develop a Java package with simple Stack and Queue classes. Use JavaDoc comments for documentation.

JAVA DOCUMENTATION:
Javadoc is a documentation generator from Sun Microsystems for generating API documentation in HTML format from Java source code. The "doc comments" format used by Javadoc is the de facto industry standard for documenting Java classes. Some IDEs, such as Netbeans and Eclipse automatically generate Javadoc HTML. Many file editors assist the user in producing Javadoc source and use the Javadoc info as internal references for the programmer. Javadoc also provides an API for creating doclets and taglets, which allows you to analyze the structure of a Java application. This is how JDiff can generate reports of what changed between two versions of an API. Structure of a Javadoc comment A Javadoc comment is set off from code by standard multi-line comment tags /* and */. The opening tag, however, has an extra asterisk, as in /**. 1. The first paragraph is a description of the method documented. 2. Following the description are a varying number of descriptive tags, signifying: 1. The parameters of the method (@param) 2. What the method returns (@return) 3. Any exceptions the method may throw (@throws) 4. Other less-common tags such as @see (a "see also" tag) Overview of Javadoc The basic structure of writing document comments is embed them inside /** ... */. The Javadoc is written next to the items without any separating newline. The class declaration usually contains: /** * @author Firstname Lastname <address @ example.com> * @version 1.6 (The Java version used) * @since 2010.0331 (E.g. ISO 8601 YYYY.MMDD) */ public class Test { // class body } For methods there is (1) a short, concise, one line description to explain what the item does. This is followed by [2] a longer description that may span in multiple paragraphs. In those the details can be explained in full. This section, marked in brackets [], is optional. Last, there is (3) a tag section to list the accepted input arguments and return values of the method. /** * Short one line description. *

(1)

* Longer description. If there were any, it would be [2] * here. * * @param variable Description text text text. (3) * @return Description text text text. */ Variables are documented similarly to methods with the exception that part (3) is omitted. Here the variable contains only the short description: /** * Description of the variable here. */ private int debug = 0; Some of the available Javadoc tags[2] are listed in the table below: Tag & Parameter @author name @version version @since since-text @see reference Usage Applies to Sinc e

Describes an author. Class, Interface Provides version entry. Max one per Class, Interface Class or Interface. Describes since when this Class, Interface, functionality has existed. Field, Method Provides a link to other element of Class, Interface, documentation. Field, Method

@param name Describes a method parameter. Method description @return description Describes the return value. Method @exception classname description Describes an exception that may be Method @throws classname thrown from this method. description @deprecated Describes an outdated method. Method description Copies the description from the {@inheritDoc} Overriding Method 1.4.0 overridden method. Class, Interface, {@link reference} Link to other symbol. Field, Method {@value} Return the value of a static field. Static Field 1.4.0 Example An example of using Javadoc to document a method follows. Notice that spacing and number of characters in this example are as conventions state. /** * Validates a chess move. * * Use {@link #doMove(int, int, int, int)} to move a piece. * * @param theFromFile file from which a piece is being moved * @param theFromRank rank from which a piece is being moved * @param theToFile file to which a piece is being moved * @param theToRank rank to which a piece is being moved

* @return true if the move is valid, otherwise false */ boolean isValidMove(int theFromFile, int theFromRank, int theToFile, int theToRank) { ... } /** * Moves a chess piece. * * @see java.math.RoundingMode */ boolean doMove(int theFromFile, int theFromRank, int theToFile, int theToRank) { ... }

Packages:
Definition: A package is a grouping of related types providing access protection and name space management. Note that types refers to classes, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types. Enumerations and annotation types are special kinds of classes and interfaces, respectively, so types are often referred to in this lesson simply as classes and interfaces. Creating a Package : Step 1: To Create a package , you have to create a Directory in our program I created the simplepackage .

Step2: Inside of this directory you create classes. For example ClassA and ClassB classes are created inside the simplepackage directory. Step3: One important note, very class file should contain first line name of the package, for example ClassA.java package simplepackage;

class ClassA { public static void main(String[] args) { ClassB.greet(); } }

ClassB.java package simplepackage; class ClassB { static void greet() { System.out.println("Hi"); } }

Compiling and Running a package: Step4: F:\Mohan_CSE_staff>javac simplepackage\ClassB.java for the ClassB and ClassA you do F:\Mohan_CSE_staff>javac simplepackage\ClassA.java Step5: You will run only ClassA file , that is ClassA file contains no need to run ClassB F:\Mohan_CSE_staff>javac simplepackage.ClassA
