Subject: Java Programming Subject Code:
destroyed. Eg. If an object holding some non java resources such as file handle or window character font, then before the object is garbage collected these resources should be freed. To handle such situations java provide a mechanism called finalization. In finalization, specific actions that are to be done when an object is garbage collected can be defined. To add finalizer to a class define the finalize() method. The java run-time calls this method whenever it is about to recycle an object.
Syntax: protected void finalize() { }

b)
Ans.
Explain the types of constructors in Java with suitable example. (Note: Any two types shall be considered). Constructors are used to initialize an object as soon as it is created. Every time an object is created using the ‘new’ keyword, a constructor is invoked. If no constructor is defined in a class, java compiler creates a default constructor. Constructors are similar to methods but with to differences, constructor has the same name as that of the class and it does not return any value. The types of constructors are:
class test1 { int i; boolean b; byte bt; float ft; String s;

Subject: Java Programming Subject Code:
d) Ans.
Distinguish between Input stream class and output stream class. Java I/O (Input and Output) is used to process the input and produce the output. Java uses the concept of a stream to make I/O operation fast. The java.io package contains all the classes required for input and output operations. A stream is a sequence of data. In Java, a stream is composed of bytes.
Sr. No.
Input stream class Output stream class
1 Java application uses an input stream to read data from a source;
Java application uses an output stream to write data to a destination;. 2 It may read from a file, an array, peripheral device or socket
It may be a write to file, an array, peripheral device or socket 3 Input stream classes reads data as bytes
Output stream classes writes data as bytes 4 Super class is the abstract inputStream class
Super class is the abstract OutputStream class 5 Methods: public int read() throws IOException public int available() throws IOException public void close() throws IOException
Methods: public void write(int b) throws IOException public void write(byte[] b) throws IOException public void flush() throws IOException public void close() throws IOException 6 The different subclasses of Input Stream are: File Input stream, Byte Array Input Stream, Filter Input Stream, Piped Input Stream, Object Input Stream, DataInputStream.
The different sub classes of Output Stream class are: File Output Stream, Byte Array Output Stream , Filter output Stream, Piped Output Stream, Object Output Stream, DataOutputStream

Explain dynamic method dispatch in Java with suitable example. Dynamic method dispatch is the mechanism by which a call to an overridden method is resolved at run time, rather than compile time.
When an overridden method is called through a superclass reference, Java determines which version (superclass/subclasses) of that method is to be executed based upon the type of the object being referred to at the time the call occurs. Thus, this determination is made at run time. At run-time, it depends on the type of the object being referred to (not the type of the reference variable) that determines which version of an overridden method will be executed A superclass reference variable can refer to a subclass object. This is also known as upcasting. Java uses this fact to resolve calls to overridden methods at run time. Therefore, if a superclass contains a method that is overridden by a subclass, then when different types of objects are referred to through a superclass reference variable, different versions of the method are executed. Here is an example that illustrates dynamic method dispatch: // A Java program to illustrate Dynamic Method // Dispatch using hierarchical inheritance class A { void m1() { System.out.println("Inside A's m1 method"); } }
class B extends A { // overriding m1() void m1()

SUMMER – 2019 EXAMINATION MODEL ANSWER
Subject: Java Programming Subject Code:
The instance of in java is also known as type comparison operator because it compares the instance with type. It returns either true or false. If we apply the instance of operator with any variable that has null value, it returns false. Example class Simple1{ public static void main(String args[]){ Simple1 s=new Simple1(); System.out.println(sinstanceofSimple1);//true } }
dot (.) operator: The dot operator, also known as separator or period used to separate a variable or method from a reference variable. Only static variables or methods can be accessed using class name. Code that is outside the object's class must use an object reference or expression, followed by the dot (.) operator, followed by a simple field name. Example this.name=”john”; where name is a instance variable referenced by ‘this’ keyword c.getdata(); where getdata() is a method invoked on object ‘c’.

Explain the concept of Dynamic method dispatch with suitable example. Method overriding is one of the ways in which Java supports Runtime Polymorphism. Dynamic method dispatch is the mechanism by which a call to an overridden method is resolved at run time, rather than compile time.
When an overridden method is called through a superclass reference, Java determines which version (superclass/subclasses) of that method is to be executed based upon the type of the object being referred to at the time the call occurs. Thus, this determination is made at run time. At run-time, it depends on the type of the object being referred to (not the type of the reference variable) that determines which version of an overridden method will be executed A superclass reference variable can refer to a subclass object. This is also known as upcasting. Java uses this fact to resolve calls to overridden methods at run time. If a superclass contains a method that is overridden by a subclass, then when different types of objects are referred to through a superclass reference variable, different versions of the method are executed.

// obtain a reference of type A A ref;
// ref refers to an A object ref = a;
// calling A's version of m1() ref.m1();
// now ref refers to a B object ref = b;
// calling B's version of m1() ref.m1();
// now ref refers to a C object ref = c;
// calling C's version of m1() ref.m1(); } }
Output: Inside A’s m1 method
Inside B’s m1 method Inside C’s m1 method Explanation: The above program creates one superclass called A and it’s two subclasses B and C. These subclasses overrides m1( ) method.
