Implement a program to accomplish the following task using string / string Buffer class.

In this program, we will do the following:
  1. Accept a password from user.
  2. Check if password is correct then display "Good" Else display "Incorrect password"
  3. Append the password with the string "Welcome to java!!!"
  4. Display the password in reverse order.
  5. Replace the character '!' in password with "*" character.
We use String class and StringBuffer class to accomplish this task. The String class represents character strings. All string literals in Java programs, such as "abc", are implemented as instances of this class. Strings are immutable. Strings are constant; their values cannot be changed after they are created. For example:
String str = "abc";    // Creates a string literal
OR 
String str = new String("abc");

A StringBuffer class is like a String, but can be modified. StringBuffer class is mutable. StringBuffer is fast and consumes less memory when you concat strings. For example,
// Constructs string buffer with no characters in it 
// and an initial capacity of 16 characters.
StringBuffer  s1 = new StringBuffer( );
OR 

// Constructs a string buffer that contains the three characters.  
// The initial capacity of the string buffer is 16 plus 
// the length of the "abc" string in short it is 19. 
StringBuffer s2 = new StringBuffer("abc");

We have used the following methods of String class:
  • compareTo(String anotherString) : It compares two strings lexicographically.
  • replace(char oldChar, char newChar) : Returns a new string resulting from replacing all occurrences of oldChar in this string with newChar.
We have used the following methods of StringBuffer class:
  • append(String str) : It appends the specified string to the character sequence.
  • reverse( ) : It causes the character sequence to be replaced by the reverse of the sequence.
PROGRAM
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.*;

class StringActivity {
 
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
  
  BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
  String s1 = "admin!";
  String s2;
  System.out.println ("Enter Password");
  s2 = br.readLine();
  
  if(s1.compareTo(s2)==0) {
   
   System.out.println ("Good");
  }
  else {
   
   System.out.println ("Password is incorrect");
   System.exit(0);
  }
  
  String s3 = "Welcome to Java!!!";
  StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(s1);
  sb.append(s3);
  
  System.out.println ("Appended Password = "+sb);
  StringBuffer s4 = new StringBuffer(s1);
  s4=s4.reverse();
  
  System.out.println ("String in Reverse Order = "+s4);
  System.out.println ("Replaced '!' with '*' = "+s1.replace('!','*')); 
 }
}
OUTPUT 
C:\>javac StringActivity.java
C:\>java StringActivity
Enter Password
admin!
Good
Appended Password = admin!Welcome to Java!!!
String in Reverse Order = !nimda
Replaced '!' with '*' = admin*

Program to define a class 'employee' with data members as empid, name and salary. Accept data for 5 objects using Array of objects and print it.

This program demonstrates you the array of objects.  Array of object  is the collection of objects of the same class. The given syntax will define an array of reference therefore assign object to individual reference in the array to declare the array of object. The syntax to define array of object is: <class-name> <array-name> [size]; For example, the following statement will define an array of object having size 6 references to the class  Box . Box b[6]; For creating an array of objects (allocating memory) you have to write down the following statements for (int i=0; i<6; i++) { b[i] = new Box(); // Assigning object to individual reference in the array. } PROGRAM import java.util.Scanner; public class Employee { int empid; String name; float salary; public void getInput() { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter the empid :: "); empid = in.nextInt(); System.out.print("Enter the name :: ");

Define a class Student with four data members such as name, roll no.,sub1, and sub2. Define appropriate methods to initialize and display the values of data members. Also calculate total marks and percentage scored by student.

In this program, first we first create a class  Student  which have data members  name, roll_no, sub1, sub2  and one method to read data here  getdata( )  method and show the result here  show( )  method. We have used  java.io.BufferedReader  class to read data from keyboard at runtime. Then we have created an object of Student class in  StudentDemo  class and called the methods of Student class. When you compile the code using  javac StudentDemo.java  command two .class files will be created which are  Student.class  and  StudentDemo.class , this has the advantage that you can reuse your .class file somewhere in other projects without compiling the code again. You can create as many classes as you want but writing many classes in a single file is not recommended as it makes code difficult to read rather you can create single file for every class. You can also group classes in packages for easily managing your code. PROGRAM import java.lang.*; import java.io.*; class Student {

Program to input age from user and throw user-defined exception if entered age is negative

An  Exception  is an abnormal condition that arises in a code sequence at run time. Exceptions are run time errors. Exceptions generated by the Java are related to the fundamental errors that violate the Java language constraints. All exception classes are subtypes of the  java.lang.Exception  class. The exception class is a subclass of the  Throwable  class. Java defines several exception classes inside the standard package  java.lang . Some examples of exceptions are  ArithmeticException, ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, NullPointerException, NumberFormatException, ClassNotFoundException,etc. When Java Interpreter caught an error such as divide by zero, the interpreter creates an exception object and throws it to inform that an error has occurred. Java has its own exception handling mechanism. It performs the following task: Find the problem –  Hit  the exception Inform that an error has occurred –  Throw  the exception Receives the error infor
