Lab 05 – Generics and Collections

Objectives:

● Learn to use generics classes with parametric type

● Learn to apply Java Collections Framework to solve practical problems

1. Write three methods to perform the following actions. Each method receives a List of Person objects as input.
a. Sort the list of persons by their surname.
b. Group the persons into two lists by their gender. The function returns a Map object that map the gender to
the corresponding list of persons.
c. Calculate the average age of each gender for the list of persons. The function returns a list with two Entry
objects. Each entry associate the gender to the average age.

2. Given two sets of fruits, A and B, write a program to find out their union, intersection and complements of each
set.

Set A: [apple, banana, durian, grape, papaya]

Set B: [banana, mango, papaya, tomato, watermelon]

Discuss the following items with your classmates:

a. Compare the difference between using HashSet and TreeSet in the program above.
b. Why is it a good practice to immediately assign a newly created collection (e.g. HashSet) to its
correspondingly interface type (e.g Set)?

3. Given the class Card.java, write a program to do the following tasks using JCF and print out the result of each
task.
a. Initialize a normal 52-card deck in its natural order as shown below.
b. Shuffle the deck
c. Deal four hands of cards and sort each hand in its natural order

The natural order (first line) and a sample output is shown as below.
Initial: [♠2, ♠3, ♠4, ♠5, ♠6, ♠7, ♠8, ♠9, ♠10, ♠J, ♠Q, ♠K, ♠A, ♥2, ♥3, ♥4, ♥5, ♥6, ♥7, ♥8, ♥9,
♥10, ♥J, ♥Q, ♥K, ♥A, ♣2, ♣3, ♣4, ♣5, ♣6, ♣7, ♣8, ♣9, ♣10, ♣J, ♣Q, ♣K, ♣A, ♦2, ♦3, ♦4, ♦5, ♦6, ♦7, ♦8,
♦9, ♦10, ♦J, ♦Q, ♦K, ♦A]

After shuffle: [♥3, ♦4, ♠Q, ♥7, ♣2, ♥10, ♠9, ♦3, ♣8, ♣3, ♦6, ♦7, ♦Q, ♦8, ♣J, ♥6, ♠3, ♦2, ♠7, ♠8, ♥4,
♥2, ♠10, ♦10, ♥K, ♠A, ♦9, ♦5, ♥J, ♣Q, ♣10, ♣5, ♣K, ♠J, ♠K, ♥9, ♥5, ♥8, ♠2, ♣6, ♠6, ♥A, ♣A, ♠5, ♣4, ♦K,
♣7, ♥Q, ♦J, ♣9, ♦A, ♠4]

Hand 1: [♠9, ♠Q, ♥3, ♥7, ♥10, ♣2, ♣3, ♣8, ♦3, ♦4, ♦6, ♦7, ♦Q]
Hand 2: [♠3, ♠7, ♠8, ♠10, ♠A, ♥2, ♥4, ♥6, ♥K, ♣J, ♦2, ♦8, ♦10]
Hand 3: [♠2, ♠J, ♠K, ♥5, ♥8, ♥9, ♥J, ♣5, ♣10, ♣Q, ♣K, ♦5, ♦9]
Hand 4: [♠4, ♠5, ♠6, ♥Q, ♥A, ♣4, ♣6, ♣7, ♣9, ♣A, ♦J, ♦K, ♦A]
