Part I: Multiple Choice Questions
Question 1: [20 pts – 4 pts each] Circle the correct answer:
Answer
public static void main(String[ ] args) { a- 2, 1, -2
int [ ]a = {2, 1, -2}; b- -2,
1,
for (int i =a.length - 1 ; i >= 0 ; i--)
2,
System.out.print(a[i] + "," );
} c- -2,1,2,
d- 2

What will the output of the following code be?

int x=2,y=3; a. A 5 B F
System.out.print("A "+x+y);
b. A5 C
if(x>y && y<3)
System.out.print(" B"); c. A 23 C
else d. A 23 C F
System.out.print(" C");

System.out.print(" F");

Part II: Write a program

Question 1: [25 pts]

Write a method that prints on the screen a message stating whether 2 circles touch each other, do not
touch each other or intersect. The method accepts the coordinates of the center of the first circle and its
radius, and the coordinates of the center of the second circle and its radius.

The header of the method is as follows:

public static void checkIntersection(double x1, double y1, double r1, double x2, double y2, double r2)

Hint:

Distance between centers C1 and C2 is calculated as follows:

d = Math.sqrt((x1 - x2)2 + (y1 - y2)2).

There are three conditions that arise:

1. If d == r1 + r2
Circles touch each other.
2. If d > r1 + r2
Circles do not touch each other.
3. If d < r1 + r2
Circles intersect.
ANS:

public static void checkIntersection(double x1,double y1,double r1,double x2,

double y2, double r2) {
double d = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(x1 - x2, 2) + Math.pow(y1 - y2, 2));
if(d == r1 + r2)
System.out.println(“Circles touch each other”);
else if(d > r1 + r2)
System.out.println(“Circles do not touch each other”);
else
System.out.println(“Circles intersect”);
}

Question 2: [25 pts]

a- Write a method called evenToZero that takes as parameter an integer ‘limit’. The method prints on the
screen all the even numbers from ‘limit’ down to 0 (inclusive).

Use the following method header:

public static void evenToZero(int limit)

b- Use the above method to write a test program which reads from the user a positive integer and prints all
the even numbers from this integer down to 0 via invoking the method evenToZero.

Note: Assume that the user will enter a positive integer. (Do not check if the input is positive or not)

Sample Run 1:

Enter a positive integer: 5

The even numbers from 5 down to 0 are 4 2 0

Sample Run 2:

Enter a positive integer: 9

The even numbers from 9 down to 0 are 8 6 4 2 0

ANS:

import java.util.Scanner;
public class PrintEven {
public static void evenToZero(int limit) {
for (int i=limit; i >= 0; i--)
if (i%2 == 0)
System.out.print(i);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a positive integer: ");
int number = input.nextInt();

System.out.print("The even numbers from “+number+” down to 0

are: "+ evenToZero(number));
}
}

Question 3: [30 pts]

An array listA is called balanced if it stores the same count of even and odd integers. Write a program to
test an array listA filled with 10 integers from an initializer list as follow:
{22,5,18,4,9,12,13,17,23,24}. Then the program will output the integers stored in listA and
checks if the array listA is balanced or not.

Sample Run:

listA store: {22 5 18 4 9 12 13 17 23 24}

listA is a balanced array

ANS:

package javaapplication345;
public class JavaApplication345 {
public static void main(String[] args){
int listA[] = {22,5,18,4,9,12,13,17,23,24};
int even =0, odd=0;
System.out.print("listA stores:{");
for(int i=0; i< listA.length; i++)
System.out.print(listA[i]+" ");

System.out.println("}");

for(int i=0; i<listA.length; i++)

if(listA[i]%2 ==0)
even++;
else
odd++;

if(even == odd)
System.out.println("listA is a balanced array");
else
System.out.println("listA is not a balanced array");
}
}
