Question Papers

Section A
Question 1

(a) Define abstraction.

Answer

Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background
details or explanation.

(b) Differentiate between searching and sorting.

Answer

Searching Sorting

Searching means to search for a term or value in Sorting means to arrange the elements of the array in
an array. ascending or descending order.

Linear search and Binary search are examples of Bubble sort and Selection sort are examples of sorting
search techniques. techniques.

(c) Write a difference between the functions isUpperCase( ) and toUpperCase( ).

Answer

isUpperCase( ) toUpperCase( )

isUpperCase( ) function checks if a given character is in toUpperCase( ) function converts a given character to
uppercase or not. uppercase.

Its return type is boolean. Its return type is char.

(d) How are private members of a class different from public members?

Answer

private members of a class can only be accessed by other member methods of the same class
whereas public members of a class can be accessed by methods of other classes as well.

(e) Classify the following as primitive or non-primitive datatypes:

1. char
2. arrays
3. int
4. classes
Answer

1. Primitive
2. Non-Primitive
3. Primitive
4. Non-Primitive

Question 2

(a) (i) int res = 'A';

What is the value of res?

Answer

Value of res is 65 which is the ASCII code of A. As res is an int variable and we are trying to
assign it the character A so through implicit type conversion the ASCII code of A is assigned to
res.

(ii) Name the package that contains wrapper classes.

Answer

java.lang

(b) State the difference between while and do while loop.

Answer

while do-while

It is an entry-controlled loop. It is an exit-controlled loop.

It is helpful in situations where numbers of It is suitable when we need to display a

iterations are not known. menu to the user.

(c) System.out.print("BEST ");

System.out.println("OF LUCK");

Choose the correct option for the output of the above statements

1. BEST OF LUCK
2. BEST
OF LUCK

Answer
Option 1 — BEST OF LUCK is the correct option.
System.out.print does not print a newline at the end of its output so the println statement begins
printing on the same line. So the output is BEST OF LUCK printed on a single line.

(d) Write the prototype of a function check which takes an integer as an argument and
returns a character.

Answer

char check(int a)

(e) Write the return data type of the following function.

1. endsWith()
2. log()

Answer

1. boolean
2. double

Question 3

(a) Write a Java expression for the following:

3�+�2�+�a+b3x+x2
Answer

Math.sqrt(3 * x + x * x) / (a + b)

(b) What is the value of y after evaluating the expression given below?

y+= ++y + y-- + --y; when int y=8

Answer

⇒ y = y + (++y + y-- + --y)

y+= ++y + y-- + --y

⇒ y = 8 + (9 + 9 + 7)
⇒ y = 8 + 25
⇒ y = 33

(c) Give the output of the following:

1. Math.floor (-4.7)
2. Math.ceil(3.4) + Math.pow(2, 3)

Answer

1. -5.0
 2. 12.0

(d) Write two characteristics of a constructor.

Answer

Two characteristics of a constructor are:

1. A constructor has the same name as its class.

2. A constructor does not have a return type.

(e) Write the output for the following:

System.out.println("Incredible"+"\n"+"world");
Answer

Output of the above code is:

Incredible
world
\n is the escape sequence for newline so Incredible and world are printed on two different lines.

(f) Convert the following if else if construct into switch case

if( var==1)
System.out.println("good");
else if(var==2)
System.out.println("better");
else if(var==3)
System.out.println("best");
else
System.out.println("invalid");
Answer

switch (var) {
case 1:
System.out.println("good");
break;

case 2:
System.out.println("better");
break;

case 3:
System.out.println("best");
break;

default:
System.out.println("invalid");
}
(g) Give the output of the following string functions:

1. "ACHIEVEMENT".replace('E', 'A')
2. "DEDICATE".compareTo("DEVOTE")

Answer

1. ACHIAVAMANT
2. -18

Explanation

1. "ACHIEVEMENT".replace('E', 'A') will replace all the E's in ACHIEVEMENT with A's.
2. The first letters that are different in DEDICATE and DEVOTE are D and V respectively. So
the output will be:

⇒ 68 - 86
ASCII code of D - ASCII code of V

⇒ -18

(h) Consider the following String array and give the output

String arr[]= {"DELHI", "CHENNAI", "MUMBAI", "LUCKNOW",

"JAIPUR"};
System.out.println(arr[0].length() > arr[3].length());
System.out.print(arr[4].substring(0,3));
Answer

Output of the above code is:

false
JAI

Explanation

1. arr[0] is DELHI and arr[3] is LUCKNOW. Length of DELHI is 5 and LUCKNOW is 7. As 5 >
7 is false so the output is false.
2. arr[4] is JAIPUR. arr[4].substring(0,3) extracts the characters from index 0 till index 2 of
JAIPUR so JAI is the output.

(i) Rewrite the following using ternary operator:

if (bill > 10000 )

discount = bill * 10.0/100;
else
discount = bill * 5.0/100;
Answer

discount = bill > 10000 ? bill * 10.0/100 : bill * 5.0/100;

(j) Give the output of the following program segment and also mention how many times the
loop is executed:

int i;
for ( i = 5 ; i > 10; i ++ )
System.out.println( i );
System.out.println( i * 4 );
Answer

Output of the above code is:

20
Loop executes 0 times.

Explanation

In the loop, i is initialized to 5 but the condition of the loop is i > 10. As 5 is less than 10 so the
condition of the loop is false and it is not executed. There are no curly braces after the loop which
means that the statement System.out.println( i ); is inside the loop and the
statement System.out.println( i * 4 ); is outside the loop. Loop is not executed

outside the loop is executed and prints the output as 20 (i * 4 ⇒ 5 * 4 ⇒ 20).

so System.out.println( i ); is not executed but System.out.println( i * 4 ); being

Section A

Question 1

(a) What is inheritance?

Answer

Inheritance is the mechanism by which a class acquires the properties and methods of another
class.

(b) Name the operators listed below:

1. <
2. ++
3. &&
4. ?:

Answer

1. Less than operator. (It is a relational operator)

2. Increment operator. (It is an arithmetic operator)
3. Logical AND operator. (It is a logical operator)
4. Ternary operator. (It is a conditional operator)

(c) State the number of bytes occupied by char and int data types.

Answer

char occupies 2 bytes and int occupies 4 bytes.

(d) Write one difference between / and % operator.

Answer

/ operator computes the quotient whereas % operator computes the remainder.

(e) String x[] = {"SAMSUNG", "NOKIA", "SONY", "MICROMAX", "BLACKBERRY"};

Give the output of the following statements:

1. System.out.println(x[1]);
2. System.out.println(x[3].length());

Answer

1. The output of System.out.println(x[1]); is NOKIA. x[1] gives the second element

of the array x which is "NOKIA"
2. The output of System.out.println(x[3].length()); is 8. x[3].length() gives the
number of characters in the fourth element of the array x which is MICROMAX.

Question 2

(a) Name the following:

1. A keyword used to call a package in the program.

2. Any one reference data type.

Answer

1. import
2. Array

(b) What are the two ways of invoking functions?

Answer

Call by value and call by reference.

(c) State the data type and value of res after the following is executed:

char ch='t';
res= Character.toUpperCase(ch);
Answer

Data type of res is char and its value is T.

(d) Give the output of the following program segment and also mention the number of times
the loop is executed:

int a,b;
for (a = 6, b = 4; a <= 24; a = a + 6)
{
if (a%b == 0)
break;
}
System.out.println(a);
Answer
Output of the above code is 12 and loop executes 2 times.

Explanation

This dry run explains the working of the loop.

a b Remarks

6 4 1st Iteration

12 4 2nd Iteration

In 2nd iteration, as a%b becomes 0 so break statement is executed and the loop exits. Program
control comes to the println statement which prints the output as current value of a which is 12.

(e) Write the output:

char ch = 'F';
int m = ch;
m=m+5;
System.out.println(m + " " + ch);
Answer

Output of the above code is:

75 F

Explanation

The statement int m = ch; assigns the ASCII value of F (which is 70) to variable m. Adding 5 to
m makes it 75. In the println statement, the current value of m which is 75 is printed followed by
space and then value of ch which is F.

Question 3

(a) Write a Java expression for the following:

ax5 + bx3 + c

Answer

a * Math.pow(x, 5) + b * Math.pow(x, 3) + c

(b) What is the value of x1 if x=5?

x1= ++x – x++ + --x

Answer
⇒ x1 = 6 - 6 + 6
x1 = ++x – x++ + --x

⇒ x1 = 0 + 6
⇒ x1 = 6

(c) Why is an object called an instance of a class?

Answer

A class can create objects of itself with different characteristics and common behaviour. So, we
can say that an Object represents a specific state of the class. For these reasons, an Object is
called an Instance of a Class.

(d) Convert following do-while loop into for loop.

int i = 1;
int d = 5;
do {
d=d*2;
System.out.println(d);
i++ ; } while ( i<=5);
Answer

int i = 1;
int d = 5;
for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
d=d*2;
System.out.println(d);
}
(e) Differentiate between constructor and function.

Answer

Constructor Function

Constructor is a block of code that Function is a group of statements that can be called at any point in the
initializes a newly created object. program using its name to perform a specific task.

Constructor has the same name as class

Function should have a different name than class name.
name.

Constructor has no return type not even

Function requires a valid return type.
void.

(f) Write the output for the following:

String s="Today is Test";
System.out.println(s.indexOf('T'));
System.out.println(s.substring(0,7) + " " +"Holiday");
Answer

Output of the above code is:

0
Today i Holiday

Explanation

As the first T is present at index 0 in string s so s.indexOf('T') returns 0. s.substring(0,7)

extracts the characters from index 0 to index 6 of string s. So its result is Today i. After that println
statement prints Today i followed by a space and Holiday.
(g) What are the values stored in variables r1 and r2:

1. double r1 = Math.abs(Math.min(-2.83, -5.83));

2. double r2 = Math.sqrt(Math.floor(16.3));

Answer

1. r1 has 5.83
2. r2 has 4.0

Explanation

1. Math.min(-2.83, -5.83) returns -5.83 as -5.83 is less than -2.83. (Note that these are
negative numbers). Math.abs(-5.83) returns 5.83.
2. Math.floor(16.3) returns 16.0. Math.sqrt(16.0) gives square root of 16.0 which is 4.0.

(h) Give the output of the following code:

String A ="26", B="100";

String D=A+B+"200";
int x= Integer.parseInt(A);
int y = Integer.parseInt(B);
int d = x+y;
System.out.println("Result 1 = " + D);
System.out.println("Result 2 = " + d);
Answer

Output of the above code is:

Result 1 = 26100200
Result 2 = 126
Explanation

1. As A and B are strings so String D=A+B+"200"; joins A, B and "200" storing the
string "26100200" in D.
2. Integer.parseInt() converts strings A and B into their respective numeric values. Thus, x
becomes 26 and y becomes 100.
3. As Java is case-sensitive so D and d are treated as two different variables.
4. Sum of x and y is assigned to d. Thus, d gets a value of 126.

(i) Analyze the given program segment and answer the following questions:

for(int i=3;i<=4;i++ ) {
for(int j=2;j<i;j++ ) {
System.out.print("" ); }
System.out.println("WIN" ); }

1. How many times does the inner loop execute?

2. Write the output of the program segment.

Answer

1. Inner loop executes 3 times.

(For 1st iteration of outer loop, inner loop executes once. For 2 nd iteration of outer loop,
inner loop executes two times.)
2. Output:
WIN
WIN

(j) What is the difference between the Scanner class functions next() and nextLine()?

Answer

next() nextLine()

It reads the input only till space so it can read It reads the input till the end of line so it can read a full
only a single word. sentence including spaces.

Question 2

(a) Evaluate the value of n if value of p = 5, q = 19

int n = (q – p) > (p – q) ? (q – p) : (p – q);

Answer

⇒ int n = (19 - 5) > (5 - 19) ? (19 - 5) : (5 - 19)

int n = (q – p) > (p – q) ? (q – p) : (p – q)

⇒ int n = 14 > -14 ? 14 : -14

⇒ int n = 14 [∵ 14 > -14 is true so ? : returns 14]

Final value of n is 14

(b) Arrange the following primitive data types in an ascending order of their size:

(i) char (ii) byte (iii) double (iv) int

Answer

byte, char, int, double

(c) What is the value stored in variable res given below:

double res = Math.pow ("345".indexOf('5'), 3);

Answer

Value of res is 8.0

Index of '5' in "345" is 2. Math.pow(2, 3) means 2 3 which is equal to 8

(d) Name the two types of constructors

Answer

Parameterized constructors and Non-Parameterized constructors.

(e) What are the values of a and b after the following function is executed, if the values
passed are 30 and 50:

void paws(int a, int b)

{
a=a+b;
b=a–b;
a=a–b;
System.out.println(a+ "," +b);
}
Answer

Value of a is 50 and b is 30.

Output of the code is:
50,30

Question 3

(a) State the data type and value of y after the following is executed:

char x='7';
y=Character.isLetter(x);
Answer

Data type of y is boolean and value is false. Character.isLetter() method checks if its argument is a
letter or not and as 7 is a number not a letter hence it returns false.

(b) What is the function of catch block in exception handling ? Where does it appear in a
program ?

Answer

Catch block contains statements that we want to execute in case an exception is thrown in the try
block. Catch block appears immediately after the try block in a program.

(c) State the output when the following program segment is executed:

String a ="Smartphone", b="Graphic Art";

String h=a.substring(2, 5);
String k=b.substring(8).toUpperCase();
System.out.println(h);
System.out.println(k.equalsIgnoreCase(h));
Answer

The output of the above code is:

art
true

Explanation

a.substring(2, 5) extracts the characters of string a starting from index 2 till index 4. So h contains
the string "art". b.substring(8) extracts characters of b from index 8 till the end so it returns "Art".
toUpperCase() converts it into uppercase. Thus string "ART" gets assigned to k. Values of h and k
are "art" and "ART", respectively. As both h and k differ in case only hence equalsIgnoreCase
returns true.

(d) The access specifier that gives the most accessibility is ________ and the least
accessibility is ________.

Answer

The access specifier that gives the most accessibility is public and the least accessibility
is private.
(e) (i) Name the mathematical function which is used to find sine of an angle given in
radians.

Question 3

(a) List the variables from those given below that are composite data types:

1. static int x;
2. arr[i]=10;
3. obj.display();
4. boolean b;
5. private char chr;

System.out.println(str1.substring(0,2).concat(str2.substring(1)
));
System.out.println(("WH" + (str1.substring(2).toUpperCase())));
Answer

The output of the above code is:

grinds
WHEAT
Explanation:

1. str1.substring(0,2) returns "gr". str2.substring(1) returns "inds". Due to concat both are
joined together to give the output as "grinds".
2. str1.substring(2) returns "eat". It is converted to uppercase and joined to "WH" to give the
output as "WHEAT".

(c) What are the final values stored in variable x and y below?

2. equals()

Answer

1. int
2. boolean

(g) State the value of characteristic and mantissa when the following code is executed:

String s = "4.3756";
int n = s.indexOf('.');
int characteristic=Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0,n));
int mantissa=Integer.valueOf(s.substring(n+1));
Answer

The value of characteristic is 4 and mantissa is 3756.

Index of . in String s is 1 so variable n is initialized to 1. s.substring(0,n) gives 4. Integer.parseInt()
converts string "4" into integer 4 and this 4 is assigned to the variable characteristic.

s.substring(n+1) gives 3756 i.e. the string starting at index 2 till the end of s. Integer.valueOf()
converts string "3756" into integer 3756 and this value is assigned to the variable mantissa.

Question 5

A special two-digit number is such that when the sum of its digits is added to the product of its
digits, the result is equal to the original two-digit number.

Example: Consider the number 59.

Sum of digits = 5 + 9 = 14
Product of digits = 5 * 9 = 45
Sum of the sum of digits and product of digits = 14 + 45 = 59

Write a program to accept a two-digit number. Add the sum of its digits to the product of its digits.
If the value is equal to the number input, then display the message "Special two—digit number"
otherwise, display the message "Not a special two-digit number".

Section A

Question 1

(a) What is meant by precedence of operators?

Answer

Precedence of operators refers to the order in which the operators are applied to the operands in
an expression.

(b) What is a literal?

Answer

Literals are data items that are fixed data values. Java provides different types of literals like:

1. Integer Literals
2. Floating-Point Literals
3. Boolean Literals
4. Character Literals
5. String Literals
6. null Literal

(c) State the Java concept that is implemented through:

1. a superclass and a subclass.

2. the act of representing essential features without including background details.

Answer

1. Inheritance
2. Abstraction

(d) Give a difference between a constructor and a method.

Answer
Constructor has the same name as class name whereas function should have a different name
than class name.

(e) What are the types of casting shown by the following examples?

1. double x = 15.2;
int y = (int) x;
2. int x = 12;
long y = x;

Answer

1. Explicit Type Casting

2. Implicit Type Casting

Question 2

(a) Name any two wrapper classes.

Answer

Two wrapper classes are:

1. Integer
2. Character

(b) What is the difference between a break statement and a continue statement when they
occur in a loop?

Answer

When the break statement gets executed, it terminates its loop completely and control reaches to
the statement immediately following the loop. The continue statement terminates only the current
iteration of the loop by skipping rest of the statements in the body of the loop.

(c) Write statements to show how finding the length of a character array char[] differs from
finding the length of a String object str.

Answer

Java code snippet to find length of character array:

char ch[] = {'x', 'y', 'z'};

int len = ch.length
Java code snippet to find length of String object str:

String str = "Test";

int len = str.length();
(d) Name the Java keyword that:

1. indicates that a method has no return type.

 2. stores the address of the currently-calling object.

Answer

1. void
2. this

(e) What is an exception?

Answer

An exception is an abnormal condition that arises in a code sequence at run time. Exceptions
indicate to a calling method that an abnormal condition has occurred.

Question 3

(a) Write a Java statement to create an object mp4 of class Digital.

Answer

Digital MP4 = new Digital();

(b) State the values stored in the variables str1 and str2:

String s1 = "good";
String s2 = "world matters";
String str1 = s2.substring(5).replace('t', 'n');
String str2 = s1.concat(str1);
Answer

Value stored in str1 is " manners" and str2 is "good manners". (Note that str1 begins with a space.)

Explanation

s2.substring(5) gives a substring from index 5 till the end of the string which is " matters". The
replace method replaces all 't' in " matters" with 'n' giving " manners". s1.concat(str1) joins
together "good" and " manners" so "good manners" is stored in str2.

(c) What does a class encapsulate?

Answer

A class encapsulates data and behavior.

(d) Rewrite the following program segment using the if..else statement:

comm = (sale > 15000)? sale * 5 / 100 : 0;

Answer

if(sale > 15000)

comm = sale * 5 / 100;
else
comm = 0;
(e) How many times will the following loop execute? What value will be returned?

int x = 2, y = 50;
do{
++x;
y -= x++;
}while(x <= 10);
return y;
Answer

The loop will run 5 times and the value returned is 15.

(f) What is the data type that the following library functions return?

1. isWhitespace(char ch)
2. Math.random()

Answer

1. boolean
2. double

(g) Write a Java expression for:

��+12��2ut+21ft2
Answer

u * t + 1 / 2.0 * f * t * t

(h) If int n[] = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 16}, what are the values of x and y?

x = Math.pow(n[4], n[2]);
y = Math.sqrt(n[5] + n[7]);

Answer

⇒ x = Math.pow(7, 3);
x = Math.pow(n[4], n[2]);

⇒ x = 343.0;

⇒ y = Math.sqrt(9 + 16);
y = Math.sqrt(n[5] + n[7]);

⇒ y = Math.sqrt(25);
⇒ y = 5.0;

(i) What is the final value of ctr when the iteration process given below, executes?

int ctr = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
for(int j = 1; j <= 5; j += 2)
++ctr;
Answer

The final value of ctr is 15.

The outer loop executes 5 times. For each iteration of outer loop, the inner loop executes 3 times.
So the statement ++ctr; is executed a total of 5 x 3 = 15 times.

2. Binary Search

(e) Differentiate between public and private modifiers for members of a class.

Answer

public modifier makes the class members accessible both within and outside their class whereas
private modifier makes the class members accessible only within the class in which they are

Question 3

(a) What are the values of x and y when the following statements are executed?

int a = 63, b = 36;

boolean x = (a > b)? true : false;
int y = (a < b)? a : b;
Answer

Output

x = true
y = 36

Explanation

The ternary operator (a > b)? true : false returns true as its condition a > b is true so
it returns its first expression that is true.
The ternary operator (a < b)? a : b returns b as its condition a < b is false so it returns its
second expression that is b. Value of b is 36 so y also becomes 36.
(b) State the values of n and ch.

char c = 'A';
int n = c + 1;
char ch = (char)n;
Answer

Value of n is 66 and ch is B.

int n = c + 1, here due to implicit conversion, 'A' will be converted to its ASCII value 65. 1 is added
to it making the value of n 66.
char ch = (char)n, here through explicit conversion 66 is converted to its corresponding character
that is 'B' so value of ch becomes B.

(c) What will be the result stored in x after evaluating the following expression?

int x = 4;
x += (x++) + (++x) + x;
Answer

⇒ x = x + ((x++) + (++x) + x)
x += (x++) + (++x) + x

⇒ x = 4 + (4 + 6 + 6)
⇒ x = 4 + 16
⇒ x = 20

(d) Give output of the following program segment:

double x = 2.9, y = 2.5;

System.out.println(Math.min(Math.floor(x), y));
System.out.println(Math.max(Math.ceil(x), y));
Answer

Output

2.0
3.0

Explanation

Math.floor(2.9) gives 2.0. Math.min(2.0, 2.5) gives 2.0.

Math.ceil(2.9) gives 3.0. Math.max(3.0, 2.5) gives 3.0.

(e) State the output of the following program segment:

String s = "Examination";
int n = s.length();
System.out.println(s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n)));
System.out.println(s.charAt(2) == s.charAt(6));
Answer

Output

false
true
Explanation

Putting the value of n in s.substring(5, n), it becomes s.substring(5, 11). This gives "nation". As s
does not start with "nation" so s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n)) returns false.

s.charAt(2) is a and s.charAt(6) is also a so both are equal

(f) State the method that:

1. Converts a string to a primitive float data type.

2. Determines if the specified character is an uppercase character.

Answer

1. Float.parseFloat()
2. Character.isUpperCase()

(g) State the data type and values of a and b after the following segment is executed:

String s1 = "Computer", s2 = "Applications"

a = (s1.compareTo(s2));
b = (s1.equals(s2));
Answer

Data type of a is int and value is 2. Data type of b is boolean and value is false.

(h) What will the following code output:

Question Papers

Section A

Question 1

(a) What is the difference between an object and a class?

Answer

A class is a blue print that represents a set of objects that share common characteristics and
behaviour whereas an object is a specific instance of a class having a specific identity, specific
characteristics and specific behaviour.

(b) What does the token 'keyword' refer to in the context of Java? Give an example for
keyword.

Answer

Keywords are reserved words that have a special meaning for the Java compiler. Java compiler
reserves these words for its own use so Keywords cannot be used as identifiers. An example of
keyword is class.

(c) State the difference between entry controlled loop and exit controlled loop.

Answer

Entry controlled loop Exit controlled loop

It checks the condition at the time of entry. Only It checks the condition after executing its body. If the condition
if the condition is true, the program control is true, loop will perform the next iteration otherwise program
enters the body of the loop. control will move out of the loop.

Loop does not execute at all if the condition is

The loop executes at least once even if the condition is false.
false.

Example: for and while loops Example: do-while loop

(d) What are the two ways of invoking functions?

Answer

Two ways of invoking functions are:

1. Pass by value.
2. Pass by reference.

(e) What is the difference between / and % operators?

Answer

/ %

Division operator Modulus operator

Returns the quotient of division operation Returns the remainder of division operation

Example: int a = 5 / 2; Here a will get the value of 2 Example: int b = 5 % 2; Here b will get the value of 1
which is the quotient of this division operation which is the remainder of this division operation

Question 2

(a) State the total size in bytes, of the arrays a[4] of char data type and p[4] of float data
type.

Answer

Size of char a[4] is 4 × 2 = 8 Bytes.

Size of float p[4] is 4 × 4 = 16 Bytes.

(b) (i) Name the package that contains Scanner class.

(ii) Which unit of the class gets called, when the object of the class is created?

Answer

(i) java.util
(ii) Constructor

(c) Give the output of the following:

String n = "Computer Knowledge";

String m = "Computer Applications";
System.out.println(n.substring(0, 8).concat(m.substring(9)));
System.out.println(n.endsWith("e"));
Answer
Output

ComputerApplications
true

Explanation

n.substring(0,8) returns the substring of n starting at index 0 till 7 (i.e. 8 - 1 = 7) which is

"Computer". m.substring(9) returns the substring of m starting at index 9 till the end of the string
which is "Applications". concat() method joins "Computer" and "Applications" together to give the
output as ComputerApplications.

(d) Write the output of the following:

1. System.out.println(Character.isUpperCase('R'));
2. System.out.println(Character.toUpperCase('j'));

Answer

1. true
2. J

(e) What is the role of keyword void in declaring functions?

Answer

The keyword 'void' signifies that the function doesn't return a value to the calling function.

Question 3

(a) Analyze the following program segment and determine how many times the loop will be
executed and what will be the output of the program segment?

int p = 200;
while(true){
if(p < 100)
break;
p = p - 20;
}
System.out.println(p);
Answer

Output

80
The loop executes 6 times
Explanation

p Remarks

200 Initial Value

180 1st Iteration

160 2nd Iteration

140 3rd Iteration

120 4th Iteration

100 5th Iteration

80 6th Iteration. Now p < 100 becomes true so break statement is executed terminating the loop.

(b) What will be the output of the following code?

(i)

int k = 5, j = 9;
k += k++ - ++j + k;
System.out.println("k = " + k);
System.out.println("j = " + j);
(ii)

double b = -15.6;
double a = Math.rint(Math.abs(b));
System.out.println("a = " + a);
Answer

(i)

Output

k = 6
j = 10
Explanation

⇒ k = 5 + (5 - 10 + 6)
k += k++ - ++j + k

⇒k=5+1
⇒k=6

++j increments j to 10

(ii)

Output

16.0

Explanation

Math.abs(-15.6) gives 15.6. Math.rint(15.6) gives 16.0.

(c) Explain the concept of constructor overloading with an example.

Answer

Constructor overloading is a technique in Java through which a class can have more than one
constructor with different parameter lists. The different constructors of the class are differentiated
by the compiler using the number of parameters in the list and their types. For example, the
Rectangle class below has two constructors:

class Rectangle {
int length;
int breadth;

//Constructor 1
public Rectangle() {
length = 0;
breadth = 0;
}

//Constructor 2
public Rectangle(int l, int b) {
length = l;
breadth = b;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

//Constructor 1 called
Rectangle obj1 = new Rectangle();

//Constructor 2 called
 Rectangle obj2 = new Rectangle(10, 15);
}
}

1. informs that an error has occurred in an input/output operation.

2. distinguishes between instance variable and class variable.

Answer

1. throws IOException
2. static

(h) What are library classes? Give an example.

Answer

Java Library classes are a set of predefined classes in the form of packages that are provided to
the programmer as part of Java installation. Library classes simplify the job of programmers by
providing built-in methods for common and non-trivial tasks like taking input from user, displaying
output to user, etc. For example, System class in java.lang package of Java Library classes
provides the print() and println() methods for displaying output to user.

Section A

Question 1

(a) Define the term Bytecode.

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.

(b) What do you understand by type conversion? How is implicit conversion different from
explicit conversion?

Answer

The process of converting one predefined type into another is called type conversion. In an implicit
conversion, the result of a mixed mode expression is obtained in the higher most data type of the
variables without any intervention by the user. For example:

int a = 10;
float b = 25.5f, c;
c = a + b;
In case of explicit type conversion, the data gets converted to a type as specified by the
programmer. For example:

int a = 10;
double b = 25.5;
float c = (float)(a + b);
(c) Name two jump statements and their use.

Answer

break statement, it is used to jump out of a switch statement or a loop. continue statement, it is
used to skip the current iteration of the loop and start the next iteration.

(d) What is Exception? Name two exception handling blocks.

Answer
An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program, that disrupts the normal
flow of the program's instructions. Two exception handling blocks are try and catch.

(e) Write two advantages of using functions in a program.

Answer

1. Methods help to manage the complexity of the program by dividing a bigger complex task
into smaller, easily understood tasks.
2. Methods help with code reusability.

Question 2

(a) State the purpose and return data type of the following String functions:

1. indexOf()
2. compareTo()

Answer

1. indexOf() returns the index within the string of the first occurrence of the specified
character or -1 if the character is not present. Its return type is int.
2. compareTo() compares two strings lexicographically. Its return type is int.

(b) What is the result stored in x, after evaluating the following expression?

int x = 5;
x = x++ * 2 + 3 * --x;
Answer

⇒x=5*2+3*5
x = x++ * 2 + 3 * --x

⇒ x = 10 + 15
⇒ x = 25

(c) Differentiate between static and non-static data members.

Answer

Static Data Members Non-Static Data Members

They are declared using keyword 'static'. They are declared without using keyword 'static'.

All objects of a class share the same copy of Static Each object of the class gets its own copy of Non-Static data
data members. members.

They can be accessed using the class name or object. They can be accessed only through an object of the class.
 Static Data Members Non-Static Data Members

(d) Write the difference between length and length().

Answer

length length()

length is an attribute i.e. a data member of array. length() is a member method of String class.

It gives the length of an array i.e. the number of elements stored It gives the number of characters present in a
in an array. string.

(e) Differentiate between private and protected visibility modifiers.

Answer

Private members are only accessible inside the class in which they are defined and they cannot be
inherited by derived classes. Protected members are also only accessible inside the class in which
they are defined but they can be inherited by derived classes.

Question 3

(a) What do you understand by the term data abstraction? Explain with an example.

Answer

Data Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features without including the
background details or explanations. A Switchboard is an example of Data Abstraction. It hides all
the details of the circuitry and current flow and provides a very simple way to switch ON or OFF
electrical appliances.

(b)(i) What will be the output of the following code?

int m = 2;
int n = 15;
for(int i = 1; i < 5; i++);
m++;
--n;
System.out.println("m = " + m);
System.out.println("n = " + n);
Answer
Output

m=6
n=14

Explanation

As there are no curly braces after the for loop so only the statement m++; is inside the loop. Loop
executes 4 times so m becomes 6. The next statement --n; is outside the loop so it is executed
only once and n becomes 14.
(b)(ii) What will be the output of the following code?

char x = 'A';
int m;
m = (x == 'a')? 'A' : 'a';
System.out.println("m = " + m);
Answer

Output

m = 97

Explanation

The condition x == 'a' is false as X has the value of 'A'. So, the ternary operator returns 'a' that is
assigned to m. But m is an int variable not a char variable. So, through implicit conversion Java
converts 'a' to its numeric ASCII value 97 and that gets assigned to m.

(c) Analyze the following program segment and determine how many times the loop will be
executed and what will be the output of the program segment.

int k = 1, i = 2;
while(++i < 6)
k *= i;
System.out.println(k);
Answer

Output

60

Explanation

This table shows the change in values of i and k as while loop iterates:
 i k Remarks

2 1 Initial values

3 3 1st Iteration

4 12 2nd Iteration

5 60 3rd Iteration

6 60 Once i becomes 6, condition is false and loop stops iterating.

Notice that System.out.println(k); is not inside while loop. As there are no curly braces so
only the statement k *= i; is inside the loop. The statement System.out.println(k); is
outside the while loop, it is executed once and prints value of k which is 60 to the console.
(d) Give the prototype of a function check which receives a character ch and an integer n
and returns true or false.

Answer

boolean check(char ch, int n)

(e) State two features of a constructor.

Answer

1. A constructor has the same name as that of the class.

2. A constructor has no return type, not even void.

(f) Write a statement each to perform the following task on a string:

1. Extract the second-last character of a word stored in the variable wd.

2. Check if the second character of a string str is in uppercase.

Answer

1. char ch = wd.charAt(wd.length() - 2);

2. boolean res = Character.isUpperCase(str.charAt(1));

(g) What will the following function return when executed?

1. Math.max(-17, -19)
2. Math.ceil(7.8)

Answer
 1. -17
2. 8.0

(h)(i) Why is an object called an instance of a class?

Answer

A class can create objects of itself with different characteristics and common behaviour. So, we
can say that an Object represents a specific state of the class. For these reasons, an Object is
called an Instance of a Class.

(h)(ii) What is the use of the keyword import?

Answer

import keyword is used to import built-in and user-defined packages into our Java program.

Section A

Question 1

(a) Define Java 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.

(b) Write a difference between class and an object.

Answer

A class is a blue print that represents a set of objects that share common characteristics and
behaviour whereas an object is a specific instance of a class having a specific identity, specific
characteristics and specific behaviour.

(c) Name the following:

1. The keyword which converts variable into constant.

2. The method which terminates the entire program from any stage.

Answer

1. final
2. System.exit(0)

(d) Which of the following are primitive data types?

1. double
2. String
3. char
4. Integer

Answer
 1. Primitive
2. Non-Primitive
3. Primitive
4. Non-Primitive

(e) What is an operator? What are the three main types of operators? Name them.

Answer

An operator is a symbol or sign used to specify an operation to be performed in Java

programming. The three main types of operators are Arithmetical, Logical and Relational.

Question 2

(a) What is Autoboxing in Java? Give an example.

Answer

The automatic conversion of primitive data type into an object of its equivalent wrapper class is
known as Autoboxing. For example, the below statement shows the conversion of an int to an
Integer.

Integer a = 20;
(b) Differentiate between length and length().

Answer

length length()

length is an attribute i.e. a data member of array. length() is a member method of String class.

It gives the length of an array i.e. the number of elements stored It gives the number of characters present in a
in an array. string.

(c) What is constructor overloading?

Answer

Constructor overloading is a technique in Java through which a class can have more than one
constructor with different parameter lists. The different constructors of the class are differentiated
by the compiler using the number of parameters in the list and their types. For example, a class
Employee can have 3 constructors as shown below:

Employee(long empId)
Employee(String name, double salary)
Employee(long empId, String name)
Due to constructor overloading, all the 3 constructors are valid for Employee class.
(d) What is the use of the keyword 'import' in Java programming?

Answer

import keyword is used to import built-in and user-defined packages into our Java program.

(e) What is meant by an infinite loop? Give an example.

Answer

A loop which continues iterating indefinitely and never stops is termed as infinite loop. Below is an
example of infinite loop:

for (;;)
System.out.println("Infinite Loop");

Question 3

(a) Write a Java expression for the following:

�2−4��b2−4ac
Answer

Math.sqrt(b * b - 4 * a * c)
(b) Evaluate the following if the value of x=7, y=5

x += x++ + x + ++y

Answer

⇒ x = x + (x++ + x + ++y)
x += x++ + x + ++y

⇒ x = 7 + (7 + 8 + 6)
⇒ x = 7 + 21
⇒ x = 28

(c) Write the output for the following:

String s1 = "Life is Beautiful";

System.out.println("Earth" + s1.substring(4));
System.out.println(s1.endsWith("L"));
Answer

Output

Earth is Beautiful
false
Explanation

s1.substring(4) will return a substring starting at index 4 of s1 till its end so its output will be "
is Beautiful". System.out.println("Earth" + s1.substring(4)) will concatenate "Earth"
and " is Beautiful" to given the output as "Earth is Beautiful".
As the last character of s1 is a small l not a capital L so s1.endsWith("L") returns false.
(d) Write the output of the following statement:

System.out.println("A picture is worth \t \"A thousand words.\"

");
Answer

Output

A picture is worth "A thousand words."

Explanation

\t is the escape sequence for tab. \" is used to print quotes as part of the string.

(e) Give the output of the following program segment and mention how many times the loop
will execute:

int k;
for ( k = 5 ; k < = 20 ; k + = 7 )
if ( k% 6==0 )
continue;
System.out.println(k);
Answer

Output of the program is 26 and the loop executes 3 times.

As there are no curly braces after the for loop so only the statement immediately following the
loop that is the if statement is part of the for loop. Again if has no curly braces so just
the continue statement is part of if. The statement System.out.println(k) is outside the
loop. The below table shows each iteration of for loop in detail:
k Remarks

5 1st Iteration

12 2nd Iteration

19 3rd Iteration

26 As the loop condition k<=20 becomes false, the loop stops iterating after 3 iterations.
(f) What is the data type returned by the following library methods?

1. isWhitespace()
2. compareToIgnoreCase()

Answer

1. boolean
2. int

(g) Rewrite the following program segment using logical operators:

if ( x > 5 )
if ( x > y )
System.out.println(x+y);
Answer

if ( x > 5 && x > y)

System.out.println(x+y);
(h) Convert the following if else if construct into switch case:

if (ch== 'c' || ch=='C')

System.out.print("COMPUTER");
else if (ch == 'h' || ch =='H')
System.out.print("HINDI");
else
System.out.print("PHYSICAL EDUCATION");

Section A

Question 1

(a) Define Polymorphism.

Answer

In object-oriented programming, Polymorphism provides the means to perform a single action in

multiple different ways. Taking the real world example of animals, if we ask different animals to
speak, they respond in their own way. Dog barks, duck quacks, cat says meow and so on. So the
same action of speaking is performed in different ways by different animals.

(b) Differentiate between static variable and instance variable.

Answer

Static Variable Instance Variable

Instance Variables are declared without using keyword

Static Variables are declared using keyword 'static'.
'static'.

All objects of a class share the same copy of static Each object of the class gets its own copy of instance
variables. variables.

Static Variables can be accessed using the class name Instance Variables can be accessed only through an object
or object. of the class.

(c) What are identifiers in Java? List three identifier formation rules.

Answer

Identifiers are used to name different parts of a program such as variables, methods, classes,
objects, etc. Three identifier formation rules are:

1. An an identifier can be a sequence of alphabets, digits, underscore and dollar sign

characters only.
2. Identifiers cannot start with a digit.
3. An identifier must not be a Keyword or a Boolean or null literal.

(d) Identify the literals listed below:

1. true
2. 'X'
 3. "false"
4. 25.75

Answer

1. boolean literal
2. Character literal
3. String literal
4. Floating Point Literal

(e) Name the wrapper classes of char type and long type

Answer

Wrapper class of char is Character and long is Long.

Question 2

(a) Name the type of error in each case given below:

1. Multiplication operator used instead of division operator

2. Missing parenthesis

Answer

1. Logical Error
2. Syntax Error

(b) Write two differences between if-else-if and switch-case statements.

Answer

Two differences between if-else-if and switch-case statements are:

1. switch-case statement can only test for equality whereas if-else-if can test for any Boolean
expression.
2. switch-case tests the same expression against constant values while if-else-if can use
different expression involving unrelated variables.

(c) What is the use of break statement in Java?

Answer

The break statement terminates the current loop or switch statement. The execution then
continues from the statement immediately following the current loop or switch statement.

(d) Write the prototype of a function check which takes a String and a character as an
argument and returns a boolean.

Answer
boolean check(String str, char ch)
(e) What is the use of the keyword 'this' in Java programming?

Answer

The 'this' keyword refers to the current object in a function or constructor. It is primarily used to
resolve the conflict between method parameters and instance variables/fields.

Question 3

(a) Write a Java expression for the following:

(�−ℎ)2�+(�−�)2�a(x−h)2+b(y−k)2
Answer

Math.sqrt((Math.pow((x-h), 2) / a) + Math.pow((y-k), 2) / b)
(b) Give the output of the following:

1. Math.max(Math.ceil(14.5), 15.5)
2. Math.sqrt(Math.abs(-225))

Answer

1. 15.5
2. 15.0

Explanation

1. Math.ceil(14.5) return 15.0. Replacing return value of Math.ceil in Math.max ⇒

Math.max(15.0, 15.5). 15.5 is the greater of the two hence it is the output.
2. Math.abs(-225) gives 225. Square root of 225 is 15.0.

(c) Evaluate the following if the value of m = 10 and n = 6

m -= 9 % ++n + ++n / 2

Answer

⇒ m = m - (9 % ++n + ++n / 2)
m -= 9 % ++n + ++n / 2

⇒ m = 10 - (9 % 7 + 8 / 2)
⇒ m = 10 - (2 + 4)
⇒ m = 10 - 6
⇒m=4

(d) Rewrite the following program segment using if-else:

tax = income > 1000000 ? income * 30.0 / 100 : income * 10.0 /

100;
Answer

if (income > 1000000)

tax = income * 30.0 / 100;
else
tax = income * 10.0 / 100;
(e) Give the output of the following program segment:

int n[] ={1,2,3,5,7,9,13,16};

double a=Math.pow(n[4], n[1]);
double b=Math.sqrt(n[5]+n[7]);
System.out.println("a=" + a);
System.out.println("b=" + b);
Answer

Output

a=49.0
b=5.0

Explanation

is 9 and n[7] is 16. Math.sqrt(n[5]+n[7]) becomes Math.sqrt(9 + 16) ⇒ Math.sqrt(25) ⇒ 5.0

n[4] is 7 and n[1] is 2. Math.pow(n[4], n[1]) becomes Math.pow(7, 2) so a becomes 49.0. Next, n[5]

(f) Rewrite the following program segment using the corresponding while loop:

int f=1, i;
for(i=1; i<=5; i++)
f*=i;
System.out.println(f);
Answer

int f=1, i=1;

while (i <= 5) {
f*=i;
i++;
}
System.out.println(f);
(g) Give the output of the following program segment:

String a="10", b="20";

int x=Integer.parseInt(a);
int y=Integer.valueOf(b);
System.out.println(x+y);
System.out.println(a+b);
Answer
Output

30
1020

Explanation

Integer.parseInt and Integer.valueOf convert the strings a and b into their corresponding numeric
integers. x + y adds 10 and 20 to give 30 as the output. a and b are strings so addition operator
concatenates them and prints 1020.

(h) Give the output of the following program:

public class StringCheck {

boolean foo(String str) {

int x = str.compareTo("INCOMMUTABLE");
System.out.println("x=" + x);
boolean ret = x == 0 ? true : false;
return ret;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

StringCheck obj = new StringCheck();
boolean a = obj.foo("INCOMPUTABLE");
System.out.println(a);
}
}
Answer

Output

x=3
false

Explanation

Output of "INCOMPUTABLE".compareTo("INCOMMUTABLE") will be:

⇒ 80 - 77
ASCII of P - ASCII of M

⇒3

Value of x becomes 3. As x is not equal to 0 so ternary operator assigns false to ret. foo method
returns back this false that gets assigned to a in main method and then printed as the output.

(i) State a difference between constructor and function.

Answer
Constructor has the same name as class name whereas function should have a different name
than class name.

(j) For a class Toy, create two objects "Barbie" and "Stack"?

Answer

Toy Barbie = new Toy();

Toy Stack = new Toy();
Section B

System.out.println("Good Day");
Answer

System.out.println(m == 0 ? "Hello" : "Good Day");

(g) What is a fall through? Give an example.

Answer

break statement at the end of case is optional. Omitting break leads to program execution
continuing into the next case and onwards till a break statement is encountered or end of switch
is reached. This is termed as fall through. For example, consider the below program:

public class FallThroughExample {

public static void main(String args[]) {
int number = 1;
switch(number) {
case 0:
System.out.println("Value of number is zero");
case 1:
 System.out.println("Value of number is one");
case 2:
System.out.println("Value of number is two");
default:
System.out.println("Value of number is greater
than two");
}
System.out.println("End of switch");
}
}
Its output when executed will be:

Value of number is one

Value of number is two
Value of number is greater than two
End of switch
(h) Give the output of the following program segment and also mention the number of
times the loop is executed:

int x, y;

int b = s.indexOf('M');
String t = s.substring(3,6);
boolean p = s.equals(t);
System.out.println(a + " " + b + " " + t + " " + p);
}
What will be the output for strop("COMPUTER")?

Answer

Output

P 2 PUT false

Explanation

1. s.charAt(3) returns the letter at index 3 of s which is P. This gets assigned to variable a.
2. Index of letter M in s is 2.
3. s.substring(3,6) returns a substring of s starting at index 3 till index 5. So PUT gets
assigned to t.
4. As PUT is not equal to the value of s (which is COMPUTER) so p becomes false.

(j) Give the output of the following program segment:

System.out.println("nine:" + 5 + 4);
System.out.println("nine:" + (5 + 4));
Answer

Output

"nine:54"
"nine:9"
Explanation

1. First "nine:" + 5 is evaluated. As one operand of addition operator is string so implicit conversion
converts 5 to string and concatenates it with "nine:" and the result is "nine:5". Next "nine:5" + 4
is evaluated and similarly it results in "nine:54".
2. Due to brackets, first (5 + 4) is evaluated. As both operands are numeric so arithmetic addition
takes place resulting in 9. Next "nine:" + 9 is evaluated and results in "nine:9".

Write a class with the name Area using function overloading that computes the area of a
parallelogram, a rhombus and a trapezium.

Formula:

Area of a parallelogram (pg) = base * ht

Area of a rhombus (rh) = (1/2) * d1 * d2

(where, d1 and d2 are the diagonals)
