Question 1
Name a Java package which is imported by default.
Answer
java.lang is imported by default in Java.

Question 2
Explain the significance of the following Java library packages.
(a) java.lang
Answer
It provides classes that are fundamental to the design of the Java programming language. Some of the
important classes it contains are Object, which is the root of the class hierarchy, Class, instances of which
represent classes at run time, Wrapper classes and Math class, which provides commonly used
mathematical functions such as sine, cosine, square root, etc.
(b) java.io
Answer
It contains the classes that handle fundamental input and output operations in Java.
(c) java.math

Answer
java.math package provides classes for performing arbitrary-precision integer arithmetic (BigInteger)
and arbitrary-precision decimal arithmetic (BigDecimal).

Question 3a
Java interpreter is called Java Virtual machine. Explain.
Answer
Java Virtual Machine takes Bytecode as input and converts it into Machine Code one line at a time. This
Bytecode can be generated by compiling source code written in any JVM language like Scala, Kotlin, etc
not just Java. Hence, Java interpreter is called Java Virtual Machine.

Question 3b
Name two ways of writing Java programs.
Answer
Two ways of writing Java programs are:

1. Java Application
2. Java Applet
Question 4
Define the terms:
(a) Source code
Answer
A set of statements written in a High-Level programming language like Java, C++, Python, etc. is called
as Source Code.
(b) Machine code
Answer
Machine code is a low-level programming language. Instructions in machine code are written as a
sequence of 0s and 1s. It is directly understood and executed by the processor.
(c) Byte code
Answer
Java compiler converts Java source code into an intermediate binary code called Bytecode. Bytecode
can't be executed directly on the processor. It needs to be converted into Machine Code first.

Question 5
What is BlueJ? What are the features of BlueJ?
Answer
BlueJ is an integrated development environment for Java. It was created for teaching Object Oriented
programming to computer science students. Features of BlueJ include a simple beginner friendly
graphical user interface to develop Java programs. It allows creating objects of the class dynamically,
invoking their methods and also supplying data to the method arguments if present.

Question 6
Write down the syntax of output statement in Java with an example.
Answer
We commonly use two output statements in Java. There syntax are:

1. System.out.println(<output value>); — This statement prints data on the console. The data to be
printed is passed to the println method as a String. After printing the string, it places the cursor at
the start of the next line. So the next printing happens at the start of the next line.
2. System.out.print(<output value>); — This statement also prints data on the console. The data to
be printed is passed to the print method as a String. After printing the string, the cursor remains
on the same line at the end of the printed string. So the next printing starts in the same line just
after the end of the previous printed string.
As an example, the below statements will generate the following output:
System.out.println("JVM stands for");
System.out.print("Java ");
System.out.print("Virtual ");
System.out.print("Machine");

Output
JVM stands for
Java Virtual Machine

Question 7
What is meant by Java reserved words? Name five Java reserved words which are commonly used in Java
programming.
Answer
In Java, a reserved word is a word that has a predefined meaning in the language. Due to this, reserved
words can’t be used as names for variables, methods, classes or any other identifier. Reserved words are
also known as keywords. Five commonly used Java reserved words are:

1. public
2. class
3. int
4. double
5. char

Question 8
Differentiate between the output statements System.out.println() and System.out.print().
Answer
System.out.println() System.out.print()
It prints data to the console and places the It prints data to the console but the cursor remains at the end of
cursor in the next line. the data in the same line.
Next printing takes place from next line. Next printing takes place from the same line.

Question 9
A Java program uses a Compiler as well as an Interpreter. Explain.
Answer
Java compiler compiles Java source code to Bytecode. Bytecode cannot run on the processor directly as
processor only understands Machine Code. Java Virtual Machine (JVM) takes this Bytecode as input
and converts it into Machine Code line by line. So, JVM acts as an interpreter for converting Bytecode to
Machine Code. In this way, a Java program uses both a Compiler as well as an Interpreter to get
executed on the processor.

Question 10
Write a package that is used for input/output operation in Java
Answer
java.io is used for input/output operation in Java.
