[Total Mark for this Assignment is 8]
Student Details:
Name: Omar Alshenkiti ID: S240027904
CRN: 10888
Instructions:
• You must submit two separate copies (one Word file and one PDF file) using the Assignment Template on
Blackboard via the allocated folder. These files must not be in compressed format.
• It is your responsibility to check and make sure that you have uploaded both the correct files.
• Zero mark will be given if you try to bypass the SafeAssign (e.g. misspell words, remove spaces between
words, hide characters, use different character sets, convert text into image or languages other than English
or any kind of manipulation).
• Email submission will not be accepted.
• You are advised to make your work clear and well-presented. This includes filling your information on the cover
page.
• You must use this template, failing which will result in zero mark.
• You MUST show all your work, and text must not be converted into an image, unless specified otherwise by
the question.
• Late submission will result in ZERO mark.
• The work should be your own, copying from students or other resources will result in ZERO mark.
• Use Times New Roman font for all your answers.

Pg. 01 Question One
Learning
Outcome(s):
Question One 2 Marks
Write a Java program that defines two static methods in addition to the main() method.
Explain the basic
principles of - The first method, computeProduct(int a, int b), receives two integer parameters,
programming, computes their product, and prints whether the product is even or odd.
concept of - The third method, isEven(int n), returns true if the given integer is even, and
language, and false otherwise.
universal
In the main() method:
constructs of
programming - Print your real student ID on the first line in the format:
languages My student ID is XXXXXXX
- Call the computeProduct() method using the last two digits of your real student
ID as arguments.
- Call isEven() method using the last digit of your real student ID as an argument.
- Display the results using descriptive sentences similar to the example output
below.
You must include a screenshot of the program’s output using your real student
ID. If you are not using your real ID, you will get zero marks.
Typical Output Example 1 Typical Output Example 2
My student ID is 1133445557 My student ID is 1122334465
Your last 2 digits product is odd Your last 2 digits product is even
Your last digit is odd Your last digit is odd

Outcome(s): Write a Java program that performs the following:
1- Implements method overloading to calculate the area of different shapes:

Use when: The value should differ per object (e.g., each Bicycle has its own
languages
currentSpeed).
• Static variables (class variables):
Definition: Declared with the static keyword; belong to the class itself, not to any
particular object.
Memory: One copy per class, typically stored in the method area/Metaspace and
referenced by all instances.
Use when: A property is shared across all objects or used as a global-like class state
(e.g., a counter, cache, or constant).
• Local variables:
Definition: Declared inside methods/blocks/constructors; exist only within their scope.
Memory: Allocated on the thread’s stack frame during method invocation; not part of
the object; not accessible outside the block.
Use when: Temporary computation or loop/index variables are needed; do not use to
preserve object state.
