Java Programs with Detailed Comments
and Variable Descriptions
1. Menu Driven Program (Series & Pattern)

/**
* This program offers a menu with two options:
* 1. Calculate a mathematical series
* 2. Print a pattern with 2s
*/
public class MenuProgram {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in); // Creating Scanner object
for input
int choice; // Variable to store user's menu choice
System.out.println("Menu:");
System.out.println("1. Calculate Series S = x1 - x2 + x3 - ... -
x20");

raised to the power i

pattern with tab space

2. Special Number Check
import java.util.Scanner; // Import Scanner for input

the number itself.

int digit;
int copy = num;
while (copy > 0) {
digit = copy % 10;
int fact = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= digit; i++) {
fact *= i;

sum += fact;
copy /= 10;
}
if (sum == num)

else
System.out.println(num + " is not a Special Number.");

3. School Election Voting System

* This program simulates a school election.
* It counts votes for 3 candidates with symbols $, &, and #
* It also calculates the percentage of valid votes per candidate.
*/

validVotes) + "%");

validVotes) + "%");
System.out.println("Percentage for #: " + (hash * 100.0 /
validVotes) + "%");
}
}
4. Sum of Even and Product of Odd Integers
import java.util.Scanner; // Import Scanner
/**
* This program takes a list of integers from the user.
* It calculates the sum of even numbers and the product of odd numbers.
* Input stops when 0 is entered.
*/
public class EvenOddSumProduct {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int num;
int evenSum = 0;

evenSum += num;
else
oddProduct *= num;
}
System.out.println("Sum of even numbers = " + evenSum);
System.out.println("Product of odd numbers = " + oddProduct);
}
}
5. Electricity Bill Calculation
import java.util.Scanner; // Import Scanner
/**
* This program calculates electricity bill based on number of units.
* It applies a fixed charge and tiered unit pricing.
*/
public class ElectricityBill {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter units of electricity consumed: ");
int units = sc.nextInt();
double amount = 400.0;
if (units <= 200) {
amount += units * 4.0;
} else if (units <= 500) {
amount += 200 * 4.0 + (units - 200) * 5.0;
} else if (units <= 1000) {
amount += 200 * 4.0 + 300 * 5.0 + (units - 500) * 6.0;
} else {
amount += 200 * 4.0 + 300 * 5.0 + 500 * 6.0 + (units - 1000)
* 6.0;
}
System.out.println("Total amount payable: Rs. " + amount);
