What is package? How can we create your own packages? Explain.

  Packages

  • Java package is a mechanism of grouping similar type of classes, interfaces, and sub-classes collectively based on functionality. When software is written in the Java programming language, it can be composed of hundreds or even thousands of individual classes. It makes sense to keep things organized by placing related classes and interfaces into packages.
  • A java package is a group of similar types of classes, interfaces, and sub-packages.
  • Package in java can be categorized in two forms, built-in package, and user-defined package.
  • There are many built-in packages such as java, lang, awt, java, swing, net, io, util, SQL, etc.
  • Here, we will have the detailed learning of creating and using user-defined packages.
  •  Packages are used in Java in order to prevent naming conflicts, to control access, to make searching/locating and usage of classes, interfaces, enumerations, and annotations easier, etc. 
  • A Package can be defined as a grouping of related types(classes, interfaces, enumerations annotations ) providing access protection and namespace management. 
  • Some of the existing packages in Java are:

java.lang=bundles the fundamental classes

 java.io=classes for input, output functions are bundled in this package

Programmers can define their own packages to bundle groups of classes/interfaces, etc.

 2nd part

When creating a package, you should choose a name for the package and put a package statement with that name at the top of every source file that contains the classes, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types that you want to include in the package. The package statement should be the first line in the source file. There can be only one package statement in each source file, and it applies to all types in the file. If a package statement is not used then the class, interfaces, enumerations, and annotation types will be put into an unnamed package.

Example

package P1;

public class A

{

public void show()

{

System.out.printIn("From Class A of Package P1");

}

}

Compile the above file and put the file A. class in a sub-directory called P1. Now, we can use the above class from the different packages as below: 

 import P1.*;

public class B

{

public static void main(String a[]) 

{

A x=new A();

x.show();

}

}


Output:From Class A of Package P1

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

Roll-up on location from location id to location name. 4. Roll-up on the game from game id to all. 5. Dice with status= “students”, location name= “GM Place”, and year=2004

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...
