System.out.println(“Even number”);
} else {
System.out.println(“Odd number”);
}
} else {
System.out.println(“Negative number”);
}
System.out.println(“End of program”);
SECTION B
Attempt any four questions from this section.
QUESTION 3.
Write a program to input a number and determine if it is a Niven number. A Niven number is one that is
divisible by the sum of its digits. Display whether the given number meets this condition or not.
e.g. Input: 126
Output: 1+2+6=9 and 126 is divisible by 9.
QUESTION 4.
A class Adder has been designed to add two given time values. For instance:
For example
Time A : 6 hours 35 minutes
Time B : 7 hours 45 minutes
The total would be 14 hours 20 minutes (noting that 60 minutes equals 1 hour). The class details are outlined
below.:
Class Name Adder
Data member/Instance variable
a[ ] Integer array to hold two elements (hours and minutes)
Member functions/methods
Adder() Constructor to assign 0 to the array elements
void read time() To enter the elements of the array
void add time(Adder X, Adder Y) Adds the time of the two parameterized objects X and Y and stores
the sum in the current calling object
void disp time() Displays the array elements with an appropriate message (i.e. hours
= and minutes = )
Specify the class Adder giving details of the constructor, void read time( ), void add time(Adder, Adder)
and void disp time( ). Define the main( ) function to create objects and call the functions accordingly to
enable the task.

QUESTION 5.
Write a program to draw the following patterns.
1 2 3 4 5 A
1 2 3 4 B C
(i) 1 2 3 (ii) D E F
1 2 G H I J
1 K L M N O
QUESTION 6.
Write a Java program that takes an array of elements as input from the user and sorts it in ascending order.
e.g. Input : 4, 5, 2, 0, 7
Output : 0, 2, 4, 5, 7
QUESTION 7.
Define a class to accept a string, convert it to lower case, and check if it is a palindrome. A palindrome is a word
that reads the same forwards and backwards.
Example: madam, race-car etc.
QUESTION 8.
Write a program to accept the names and total marks of N students, storing the data in two single-dimensional
arrays: name[ ] for names and total marks [ ] for their marks..
Calculate and print
(i) The average of the total marks obtained by N number of students.
[average = (sum of total marks of all the students)/N]
(ii) Deviation of each student’s total marks with the average.
[deviation = total marks of a student – average]
