Module 3-A Java Programming Concepts

Assessment: Theories and Exercises

Read carefully each item below. Each item below requires all programming concepts mentioned
in the previous discussions and demos. Follow Java Coding Standard seriously and follow all the
needed requirements. All outputs must be readable, presentable and clear. Not following
instructions will result to series of deductions.
Note: Project name must be <LastName>Ex3A and the official package is
org.alibata.training.codes.
Duration: 2 hours

Everything went fine.
B. If you run this program, the outcome is: There is a NullPointerException.
C. If you run this program, the outcome is: There is a NullPointerException. There is
an Exception.
D. This code will not compile, because in Java there are no pointers.

19. How can you serialize an object?

A. You have to make the class of the object implement the interface Serializable
B. You must call the method serializeObject() (which is inherited from class Object)
on the object
C. You should call the static method serialize(Object obj) from class Serializer, with
as argument, the object to be serialized
D. You don’t have to do anything, because all objects are serializable by default

outputstream of bytes
B. Subclasses of the class Reader are used to read character streams
C. To write characters to an outputstream, you have to make use of the class

B. Exercises.
1. The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has opened a bidding for a national
infrastructure project that will compute the total standing of a student in one section at the
end of every semester. The project is a software application that will feed on text files
containing the names of the students plus the scores incurred by each per subjects. A sample
text file is show below:
Jimmy 89 90 77 72
Anna 50 45 89
Rhea 100 99 77
Jun 55 68

The result of the application will be:

Rhea 92.00
Jimmy 82.00
Jun 61.50
Anna 61.33

A list of students with the averages of each based on the number of grades sorted in
descending order. Use old IO APIs and some arrays to implement the following project. All
averages must be in 2 decimal places with RoundingMode FLOOR.
2. For the next four problems, consider the task of representing types of tickets to school
campus events. Each ticket has a unique number and a price. There are three types of
tickets: walk-up tickets, advance tickets, and student advance tickets. Write a UML design
first and implement your design afterwards.
 Walk-up tickets are purchased the day of the event and cost $50.
 Advance tickets purchased 10 or more days before the event cost $30, and advance
tickets purchased fewer than 10 days before the event cost $40.

Alibata Business and Technology Solutions Inc. Page 7

  Student advance tickets are sold at half the price of normal advance tickets: ones 10
days early cost $15, and fewer than 10 days early cost $20.

a) Implement a class named Ticket that will serve as the superclass for all
three types of tickets. Define all common operations in this class, and
specify all differing operations in such a way that every subclass must
implement them. No actual objects of type Ticket will be created: each
actual ticket will be an object of a subclass type. Define the following
operations:
 The ability to construct a ticket by number.
 The ability to ask for a ticket's price.
 The ability to println a ticket object as a String. An example string
would be "Number: 17, Price: 50.0".

b) Implement a class named WalkupTicket to represent a walk-up event

ticket. Walkup tickets are also constructed by number, and they have a
price of $50.00.

c) Implement a class named AdvanceTicket to represent tickets

purchased in advance. An advance ticket is constructed with a ticket
number and also how many days in advance the ticket was purchased.
Advance tickets purchased 10 or more days before the event cost $30,
and advance tickets purchased fewer than 10 days before the event cost
$40.

d) Implement a class named StudentAdvanceTicket to represent tickets

purchased in advance by students. A student advance ticket is
constructed with a ticket number and also how many days in advance
the ticket was purchased. Student advance tickets purchased 10 or more
days before the event cost $15, and advance tickets purchased fewer
than 10 days before the event cost $20 (half of a normal advance ticket).
When a student advance ticket is printed, the string should mention that
the student must show their student ID. For example, "Number: 17, Price:
15.0 (ID required)".
