Here's a breakdown of your OOPS with JAVA (BCS306A) Question Bank:

1. Explain different types of inheritance in JAVA along with sample programs.

Types of Inheritance:
Single Inheritance
Multilevel Inheritance
Hierarchical Inheritance
Hybrid Inheritance (not directly supported in Java)
Multiple Inheritance (achieved using interfaces in Java)

Example:

 java

// Single Inheritance
class Parent {
void display() {
System.out.println("This is the Parent class");
}
}
class Child extends Parent {
void show() {
System.out.println("This is the Child class");
}
}
public class SingleInheritance {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Child c = new Child();
c.display();
c.show();
}
}

2. What is inheritance? What is the advantage of inheritance?

Definition: Inheritance allows one class (child/subclass) to acquire the properties and methods of
another class (parent/superclass).
Advantages:
Reusability
Extensibility
Code maintainability
Method overriding and polymorphism

Polymorphism Example:

java

class Shape {
void draw() {
System.out.println("Drawing Shape");
}
void erase() {
System.out.println("Erasing Shape");
}
}
class Circle extends Shape {
void draw() {
System.out.println("Drawing Circle");
}
void erase() {
System.out.println("Erasing Circle");
}
}
class Triangle extends Shape {
void draw() {
System.out.println("Drawing Triangle");
}
void erase() {
System.out.println("Erasing Triangle");
}
}
class Square extends Shape {
void draw() {
System.out.println("Drawing Square");
}

 void erase() {
System.out.println("Erasing Square");
}
}
public class PolymorphismExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Shape s;
s = new Circle();
s.draw();
s.erase();

s = new Triangle();
s.draw();
s.erase();

s = new Square();
s.draw();
s.erase();
}
}

3. With suitable code segments illustrate the various uses of the `final` keyword.

Final class: Prevents inheritance.

Final method: Prevents overriding.
Final variable: Makes the variable constant.

Example:

java

final class FinalClass {

void display() {
System.out.println("Final Class cannot be extended");
}
}

class FinalMethodExample {
final void show() {
System.out.println("Final Method cannot be overridden");
}
}

public class FinalDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) {
final int value = 10;
System.out.println("Final variable: " + value);
// value = 20; // Error: Cannot modify final variable
}
}

4. What is abstract class? Explain with example.

Abstract Class: A class that cannot be instantiated and may contain abstract methods (methods
without a body).

Example:

 java

abstract class Animal {

abstract void sound(); // Abstract method
}
class Dog extends Animal {
void sound() {
System.out.println("Dog barks");
}
}
public class AbstractExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal a = new Dog();
a.sound();
}
}

5. What is method overriding? How does it support polymorphism?

Definition: When a subclass provides a specific implementation for a method already defined in its
superclass.
Polymorphism: At runtime, the appropriate method is invoked depending on the object.

Example:

java

class Animal {
void sound() {
System.out.println("Animal makes sound");
}
}
class Dog extends Animal {
@Override
void sound() {
System.out.println("Dog barks");
}
}
public class MethodOverriding {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Animal a = new Dog(); // Runtime Polymorphism
a.sound();
}
}

6. Demonstrate dynamic dispatch using abstract class in JAVA.

Dynamic Dispatch: Method call resolved at runtime.

Example:

java

abstract class Shape {

abstract void draw();
}
class Circle extends Shape {
void draw() {

 System.out.println("Drawing Circle");
}
}
class Triangle extends Shape {
void draw() {
System.out.println("Drawing Triangle");
}
}
public class DynamicDispatch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Shape s;
s = new Circle();
s.draw();
s = new Triangle();
s.draw();
}
}

7. What is an interface? Illustrate multiple inheritance using interfaces.

Definition: An interface defines a contract with abstract methods.

Example:

java

interface A {
void methodA();
}
interface B {
void methodB();
}
class C implements A, B {
public void methodA() {
System.out.println("Method A");
}
public void methodB() {
System.out.println("Method B");
}
}
public class InterfaceExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
C obj = new C();
obj.methodA();
obj.methodB();
}
}

8. Define package. Write a Java program to create and import a package.

Package: A namespace to organize classes.

Example:

java

// File: mypack/MyClass.java
package mypack;
public class MyClass {
public void display() {
System.out.println("This is MyClass in package");

 }
}

// File: Main.java
import mypack.MyClass;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyClass obj = new MyClass();
obj.display();
}
}

9. Producer-Consumer Problem using synchronized threads.

Example:

java

class Q {
int n;
boolean valueSet = false;
synchronized void put(int n) {
while (valueSet) try { wait(); } catch (Exception e) {}
this.n = n;
valueSet = true;
System.out.println("Put: " + n);
notify();
}
synchronized int get() {
while (!valueSet) try { wait(); } catch (Exception e) {}
System.out.println("Got: " + n);
valueSet = false;
notify();
return n;
}
}
class Producer implements Runnable {
Q q;
Producer(Q q) { this.q = q; new Thread(this).start(); }
public void run() {
int i = 0;
while (true) q.put(i++);
}
}
class Consumer implements Runnable {
Q q;
Consumer(Q q) { this.q = q; new Thread(this).start(); }
public void run() {
while (true) q.get();
}
}
public class PCExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Q q = new Q();
new Producer(q);
new Consumer(q);
}
}
