3.

If classes C1 and C2 both implement an interface Cint, which has a

method whichIsIt, and if C1 c = new C1( ); is performed at one point of
the program, then a later instruction c.whichIsIt( ); will invoke the whichIsIt
method defined in C1.
F

If a GUI container is resized by the user, all components of the GUI are
automatically increased or decreased by the same fraction to fit in the
newly sized container.

ALL JAVA CODE WRITTEN IN PART III SHOULD BE COMMENTED.

Question 1: 13 marks
The following program saved in the file Phone.java creates a GUI that
resembles a phone with functionality and logical error(s).
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Phone extends JFrame
{
private JButton keys[];
private JPanel keyPad, lcd;
private JTextArea lcdContent;
private String lcdOutput = "";

// constructor sets up GUI
public Phone() {
super( "Phone" );
// set lcd layout to flow layout
lcd = new JPanel();
lcd.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
// initialize lcdContent and add it to lcd panel
lcdContent = new JTextArea( 4, 15 );
lcdContent.setEditable( false );
lcd.add( lcdContent );
keys = new JButton[ 15 ];
// initialize all digit key Buttons
for ( int i = 3; i <= 11; i++ ) {
keys[ i ] = new JButton( String.valueOf( i - 2 ) );

The above program compiles and runs. Answer each of the following questions.
a)
If you are using a command line terminal window on SOL to develop your
java programs, write down the command to compile the above program. (1 mark)
Your answer:
b)
Draw diagrams to show how the program works by following the sequence
of commands/actions issued by user. (6 marks, 2 marks each)
(i) The user first types java Phone on the command line.
Your answer:

(ii) After the command in (i), the user clicks the phone no. 2533000, then
clicks send.
Your answer:

(iii) Following the actions in (ii), the user clicks the Clr button four times.
Your answer:

Page 12 of 23

c)
The program in this question contains a logical error. When user dials a
number, say, 2533000 and clicks send, the phone is supposed to call the
number 2533000 and this number is shown in the phone display. However, at
this point, if user continues to click another digit, say 9, the phone display
shows the number 25330009. This means that during a phone call to 2533000,
the phone user can still change the number. This is a logical error.
Modify this program by changing ONE single existing statement in the event
handler for the Send button so that this logical error can be eliminated. Show
your change and explain why. Remember that you are allowed to change only
one SINGLE existing statement. (6 marks)
Your answer:
Change the statement
lcdOutput = " Calling...\n\n " + lcdOutput;
to
lcdOutput = "Calling...\n\n " + lcdOutput;

Question 2: 15 marks
Consider the classes MyClass, MyExtendedClass and MyFinalClass.
public class MyClass{
public int v1;
public int v2;
public MyClass(){
v1 = 1;
v2 = 2;
}
public void method1(){
System.out.println("method1 in MyClass "+v1);
}
public void method2(){
System.out.println("method2 in MyClass "+v2);
}
public void method3(){
System.out.println("method3 in MyClass "+v2);
this.method2();
}
}
public class MyExtendedClass extends MyClass{
public int v2;
public MyExtendedClass(){
v1=11;
v2=22;
}
public void method2(){
System.out.println("method2 in MyExtendedClass "+v2);
this.method1();
}
}
public final class MyFinalClass extends MyExtendedClass{
public int v1;
public MyFinalClass(){
v1 = 111;
}
public void method1(){
System.out.println("method1 in MyFinalClass "+v1);
super.method1();
}
}

Question 3: 12 marks
File ParseInts.java below contains a program template that should do the
following:
z
Prompts for and reads in a line of input
z
Takes the input line one token at a time and parses an integer from
each token as it is extracted.
z
Sums the integers.
z
Prints the sum.
For example, if you give it the input
10 20 30 40
it should print
The sum of the integers on the line is 100.
However, if you try a line that contains both integers and other words, e.g.,
We have 2 dogs and 1 cat.
You will probably get a NumberFormatException when it tries to call
Integer.parseInt on "We" if your program does not handle exceptions.
Use exception handling, complete this program so that it always produces correct
answer. For example, for the line of input We have 2 dogs and 1 cat., your
program should print
The sum of the integers on the line is 3.
//what do you want to import
public class ParseInts {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Prompts for and reads in a line of input
// Takes the input line one token at a time and parses an integer from
// each token as it is extracted.
// Sums the integers.
// Prints the sum.
System.out.println("The sum of the integers on this
line is " + sum);
}
}

Question 4: 10 marks
File IntList.java contains definitions for a linked list of integers. The class
contains an inner class IntNode, which holds information for a single node in
the list.
public class IntList
{
private IntNode front;
//first node in list
public IntList(){
front = null;
}
public void addToFront(int val){
front = new IntNode(val,front);
}
public void addToEnd(int val){
IntNode newnode = new IntNode(val,null);
if (front == null)
front = newnode;
else {
IntNode temp = front;
while (temp.next != null)
temp = temp.next;
temp.next = newnode;
}
}
public void removeFirst(){
if (front != null)
front = front.next;
}
public void print(){
System.out.println("---------------------");
System.out.print("List elements: ");
IntNode temp = front;
while (temp != null){
System.out.print(temp.val + " ");
temp = temp.next;
}
System.out.println("\n---------------------\n");
}

Page 19 of 23

private class IntNode{

public int val;
//value stored in node
public IntNode next;
//link to next node in list
public IntNode(int val, IntNode next){
this.val = val;
this.next = next;
}
}
}
Add the following two public methods to the IntList class.
1. public void printRec()prints the list from first to last using recursion.
2. public void printRecBackwards()prints the list from last to first using
recursion.
Note you can not change the headers of these two methods although you may
want to write other methods which facilitate the writing of the above two methods.
Your answer:
5 marks for each method each
//Prints the list recursively.
public void printRec()
{
System.out.println ("\nList Elements...");
printRec(front);
}
//---------------------------------------------------// Recursively prints the part of the list starting
// starting at the node pointed to by first.
//---------------------------------------------------private void printRec (IntNode first)
{
if (first == null)
System.out.println();
else
{
System.out.print (first.val + " ");
printRec(first.next);

}

Question 5: 10 marks
Write a Java program that can display the windows shown below. The size of the
frame is 200 by 150.

When user presses the button "Register", your program should display a dialog
window showing the contents of the name and email JTextFields. When user
presses the button "Clear", your program should clear the two JTextFields for
name and email.
You only need to handle the events for buttons.
For the button "Register", you should use inner class to handle the event. For the
button "Clear", you should use anonymous class to handle the event.
Sample Answers:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Register extends JFrame
implements ActionListener
{
JLabel name, email;
JTextField nameArea, emailArea;
JButton okButton, clearButton;
public Register()
{
super("register me!"); // 0.5 mark for calling super.
Container c = getContentPane(); //optional statement if you are using J2SE 5.0
c.setLayout(new FlowLayout()); // 0.5 mark for setting up layout manager
name = new JLabel( "Your Name:" );
c.add( name ); // 0.5 mark for setting up label 1 // add(name) if J2SE 5.0

nameArea = new JTextField( 10 );

c.add( nameArea ); // 0.5 mark for setting up JTextfield 1

}
);
// 3.5 marks for registering and writing correct anonymous class event
handler.
c.add(clearButton );
setSize(200, 150);
show();
}
// 3 marks for registering and writing correct inner class event handler.
class registerButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event)
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You clicked
OK==>"+nameArea.getText()+" and "+emailArea.getText());
