(Attempt all questions.)
Question 1. [2]
(a) Name any two OOP'S principles. [2]
(b) Mention two different styles of expressing a comment in a program . [2]
(c) Which element is num[9} of the array num ? [2]
(d) . Differentiate between operator and expression. d
(e) If m = 5 and n = 2, output the values of m and n after execution in (i) a n,
(ii) :
(i) m - = n; [2]
(ii) n = m + min;
Answer.
(a) AbstractiOJ;l and Polymorphism
(b) // Single line
/* Multiline */
(c) 1ou, ele ment
(d) x = x+5
e.g . This is an expression where '+' is an operator.
Oper a tor is a symbol which performs some function where as expression is a
combination of operands.
(e) (i) m = m - n;
5 = 5 - 2
m = 3
(ii) n = m + min;
11 = 5 + 5/2

n = 5 + 2. 5
n = 7.5
Qu estio n 2.
(a) Espl.aiil t_he term fo r loop with an example.
( b ) H?wt i.s a C'om pound statement ? Give an example.
(d ,.:::toi <" th t· difference between Constructor and Method.
(d) ,.:::oft· O ' it' .~imilo rity and one d ifference between while and do while loop.

E.g. for (i = 1; i < = 10; i++) . ' tI

This will print '*' sign 10 times on the screen .

or printing.
(3) It has no return type. (3) It has return type.
(4) It is called autom aticall y. (4) It has to be invoke d.
(d) while and do while both are used to repeat the proces s as long as user
wants.
The differe nce betwe en while and do while is that while check s the
condition
first where as do while check s the condit ion at the end. So, do while
performs
the proces s once at any cost.
E.g. while do while
int i = 11; int i = 11;
while (i < 11) do
{ {
Syste m.out .print (i); System .out println (i);
i++; i++;
} }
Syste m.out .print ("**"); while (i < 11);
Syste m.out .print {"**");

Question 3.

(b) What is the output of the following ?
char c = '.A '·,

int n = c+m;
System.out.println(n); [2]
(c) Explain the meaning of break and continue statements. [3]
(d) (i) What is call by value ?
(ii) How are the following passed ?
(1) Primitive types.
(2) Reference types. [3]
(e) Enter any two variables through constructor parameters and write a program
to swap and print the values. [4]
(f) What do the following functions return for :
String x = ''hello ':·

S tring y = "wor ld";
(i) Sy stem.out.println(x + y);
(ii) S ystem.out.println(x.len gth ( ));
(iii) Sy stem.out.println(x.char At(3));
(iv) S ystem.out.println(x.equ als(y)); (4 ]
(g) Differen tiate between toLowerCase() and toUpperCase() methods. (2 ]
Answer.
(a) (i) 30 , (ii) 25
(b) 91
(c) Break is to stop the _loop process forcefully in between.
