Question 2
(i) Evaluate the below Java line: [2]
oy

System.out.println(character.isUpperCase(‘Z’));
Ans. true is printed. As isUpperCase () returns true when the input to the function is an uppercase letter.
(ii) Fill in the blanks for the below code to change the array into an array that contains double the parent array. [2]
G

int[] x = {4, 2, 6, 12, 15, 10, 8};

for(int i = 0; i<x.length;i++)
{
(1)____________

Goyal’s ICSE Computer Applications Specimen Question Paper with MTP Class 10 3
 }
Print((2)_______);
Ans. (1)y[i] = 2 * x[i];
(2)y, or y,7
(iii) The below code snippet checks whether or not any character other than letter or digit is contained in the string
str. Fill in the blanks of the code in order to get the code correct. [2]
boolean (1)__________

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

ha
{
if(character.isLetterOrDigit(str.charAt(i)) == false)
{
System.out.println((2)__________)

as
(3)____________
break;
}

ak
}
if (flag == false)
{

}
Ans. (1)flag = false; Pr
System.out.println(“String is alphanumeric”);
rs
(2)”String is not purely alphanumeric”
(3)flag = true;
(iv) How would you take the input of a single character from the keyboard in a Java program? [2]
he

Ans. It can be done as below.

BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
char c = bf.readLine().charAt(0);
ot

The above program assumes that user input necessarily ends with a ‘\n’ or newline character.
(v) Give any one advantage of using reference type of variables. [2]
Br

Ans. One clear advantage is that you can modify the contents of a class type of variable from inside a function.
This is a very big advantage.
(vi) How does the compareToIgnoreCase(String) method work? [2]
Ans. It compares the parent string and the argument characterwise. If the strings are identical(ignoring case), the
al

method returns zero. If the strings are different, then at the first index of difference, the difference in ASCII
values of the parent string and argument is returned by the method.
oy

(vii) Evaluate the following Java line: [2]

“Hello”.endsWith(“lo”) && “Conrad”.startsWith(“con”);
Ans. false
G

The first function call returns true, and the second returns false, (although the strings match with ignore case,
but not identically). So, true && false returns false.
(viii) Suppose that you construct a function matches() so that it returns true whenever the two strings have some
matching prefix and suffix (of length at least 2) respectively. For the below call of the function, what should
this (assumed) correctly written function return? [2]
4 Goyal’s ICSE Computer Applications Specimen Question Paper with MTP Class 10
 “abcdef”.matches(“retef”);
Ans. As there is no prefix of “abcdef” that matches with suffix of “retef”, the value returned should be false.
(ix) Which operator in Java can do the same work as concat(String) of the String class? [2]
Ans. The + operator. For example:
“abc” + “def” is ”abcdef”
As also, “abc”.concat(“def”).

n
(x) Can a class have more than one constructor specified for itself? [2]
Ans. Yes, it can be done.

Question 4 [15]

ak
Define a class to accept a number and check whether it is both divisible by 11 and contains at least a substring
which is also divisible by 11. For example:

121 is divisible by 11 but does not contain a substring divisible by 11.
