Assignment Questions

Question 1

What is a method? Explain the various


parts of a method.

Answer

A method is a named block of code within


a class. It executes a defined set of
instructions when called from another part
of the program. The different parts of the
method are access-modifier, type,
method-name, parameter-list and
method-body.

Question 2

What is a method signature?


Answer

The method name along with the list of


parameters used in the method prototype
is known as method signature.

Question 3

How do you define and invoke a method?

Answer

The syntax of a method definition is:

[access-modifier] type method-name


(parameter-list)
{
method-body;
}

To invoke a method, write the name of the


method and specify the value of
arguments of its parameter list. Below
example shows the definition and
invocation of a method:

public class DisplayMessageDemo {

public void DisplayMessage() {


System.out.println("Hello World!"
}

public void MyMessage() {


DisplayMessage();
}
}

Question 4
What does the return statement do in a
method?

Answer

Return statement sends back the value


given to it from the called method to the
caller method. It also transfers the
program control back to the caller method
from the called method.

Question 5

What does void signify in the method


prototype?

Answer

void in method prototype means that the


method does not return any value.

Question 6

Explain the difference between actual and


formal parameters.

Answer

The parameters that appear in the method


definition are called formal or dummy
parameters whereas the parameters that
appear in the method call are called actual
parameters.

Question 7

Explain static and non-static methods.


Answer

Static methods are created with static


keyword in their method prototype as
shown below:

public static return‐type method‐name(par


{
Method‐body
}

Static methods can be called directly


using class name but they can't access
instance variables and non-static methods
of the class.

The non-static methods are created


without the static keyword in their method
prototype as shown below:

public return‐type method‐name(parameter‐


{
Method‐body
}

An instance of the class is required to call


non-static methods.

Question 8

What happens when an argument is


passed by reference?

Answer

In pass by reference, the reference of the


actual parameter is passed to the formal
parameter. Both actual parameter and
formal parameter represent the same
memory location so any changes made to
the formal parameters get reflected in the
actual parameters.

Question 9

When a method has been declared more


than once in a class, how does Java
determine the overloading?

Answer

Overloading is determined based on the


number and type of parameters of the
method.

Question 10

What is an ambiguous invocation? Give


an example.

Answer

Sometimes there are two or more possible


matches in the invocation of an
overloaded method. In such cases, the
compiler cannot determine the most
specific match. This is referred to as
ambiguous invocation. It causes a compile
time error. For example, the below
program will cause a compile time error
due to ambiguous invocation:

public class AmbiguousDemo {


public static double max(double num1,
if (num1 > num2)
return num1;
else
return num2;
}

public static double max(int num1, do


if (num1 > num2)
return num1;
else
return num2;
}

public static void main(String args[]


/*
* This line will cause a compile
* as reference to max is ambiguo
*/
System.out.println(max(19, 20));
}
}

Question 11

Given below are the two method


definitions:

1. public static double Check(double x,


double y)
2. public static double Check(int x,
double y)

Which of the two methods is invoked for


the following?

1. double z = Check (6, 5);


2. double z = Check (5.5, 7.4);
Answer

1. double z = Check (6, 5); invokes


public static double Check(int x,
double y)
2. double z = Check (5.5, 7.4); invokes
public static double Check(double x,
double y)

Question 12

What is the signature of the following


method heading?

public void CoolMethod(int xx, char yy, int


zz)

Answer

Signature of this method is:

CoolMethod(int xx, char yy, int zz)

Question 13

Which OOP principle implements function


(method) overloading?

Answer

Polymorphism

Question 14

A palindromic prime is a prime number


and also palindromic. For example, 131,
313, and 757 are prime numbers and also
palindromic prime numbers. Write a
program that displays the first 100
palindromic prime numbers.

Answer

public class KboatPalindromicPrime


{
public static boolean isPrime(int n)
int c = 0;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
if (n % i == 0) {
c++;
}
}

boolean prime = c == 2;
return prime;
}

public static boolean isPalindrome(in


int num = n, revNum = 0;
while (num != 0) {
int digit = num % 10;
num /= 10;
revNum = revNum * 10 + digit;
}

boolean palin = revNum == n;


return palin;
}

public static void main(String args[]


int x = 1, count = 0;
while (count < 100) {
if (isPrime(x) && isPalindrom
count++;
System.out.println(x);
}
x++;
}
}
}
Output
