Is there any criteria to judge whether the code is of system
programming or application programming??

Is there any set of specific instuctions/ classes meant for system
programming???

Please try to solve the problem.

If you can do it in java, it is unlikely to be system programming ;)

I am sure there is some computer science taxonomy drawing a line
somewhere. However, I am not aware of one. But, as a rule of thumb:

It it is close to the operating system (requires close interaction, many
OS system calls), part of the operating system, or close to the hardware
then it is very likely system programming.

Please note that Java is not well suited for the above mentioned things.

Your homework, eh? If it is homework, you better dig up a formal
definition from some computer science book.
