W.E. F. Academic Year: 2025-26

Semester: 4th
Category of the Course: PCC

The recommended pre-requisite language is C (or any other structured programming

Prerequisite:
language like Python, C++)
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) has become the standard paradigm for
developing modern software applications due to its ability to model real-world
problems effectively. Introducing students to OOP using Java equips them with
essential programming skills that are highly relevant in both academia and industry.
Java is one of the most widely used programming languages, known for its platform
Rationale: independence (Write Once, Run Anywhere), security, and rich library support,
making it a perfect language to teach the principles of OOP.
By including OOP with Java in the curriculum, students will be able to understand
the core OOP concepts, develop problem solving skills and industry relevant skills
as Java is extensively used in enterprise applications, Android development, web
development, and emerging fields like AI and Machine Learning.

9. Create a Java program to demonstrate single and multilevel inheritance. (e.g., class Person →
Employee → Manager)
10. Create an abstract class Shape having abstract method area() for calculating the area of a shape
and concrete method displayType() to display the type of the shape. Define an interface Drawable
with a method draw() that specifies how the shape should be displayed. Implement class
Circle/Rectangle that extend a Shape and implement Drawable, demonstrating method overriding
and multiple inheritance.
11. Write a Java program to demonstrate the use of the 'final' keyword.
12. Create a Java program to create a user-defined package containing at least one class. Import this
package in another program and demonstrate the usage of the class and its methods.
13. Create a Java program to demonstrate exception handling using built-in exceptions (divide by
zero, null pointer). Show how exceptions are caught and handled using try-catch-finally.
14. Write a Java program to demonstrate the use of Java Collections Framework. Use ArrayList and
HashSet to perform operations like add, remove, search, and traversal. Display the elements of
each collection using a for-each loop.
