18. Explain Syntax error with the help of a valid example.

Answer: A syntax error in Java occurs when the code you write does not adhere to the correct
syntax rules of the Java programming language.
Here’s an example of a Java syntax error:

Students Table:
public class SyntaxErrorExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {

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

In the code above, there is a missing semicolon ; at the end of

the System.out.println statement. This is a common syntax error in Java. When you attempt
to compile this code, you’ll receive an error message like this:

Courses Table:
SyntaxErrorExample.java:4: error: ';' expected

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

19. Explain Referential Integrity Constraint with valid example.

Answer: Referential integrity is a database constraint that ensures the relationships between
tables in a relational database are maintained correctly. It enforces that relationships between
tables are consistent, and it prevents actions that would violate these relationships, such as
deleting a record from one table that is referenced by another table. This constraint is typically
used in database management systems (DBMS) like MySQL
Here’s a valid example to explain referential integrity with two tables: “Students” and
“Courses.”

CREATE TABLE Students (

StudentID INT PRIMARY KEY,

FirstName VARCHAR(50),

LastName VARCHAR(50),

CourseID INT,

FOREIGN KEY (CourseID) REFERENCES Courses(CourseID)

);

CREATE TABLE Courses (

CourseID INT PRIMARY KEY,

CourseName VARCHAR(100)

);

In this example:
• The “Students” table has a foreign key column called “CourseID” that references the
“Courses” table’s “CourseID” primary key.
• The “CourseID” in the “Students” table is constrained by the referential integrity rule to only
allow values that exist in the “CourseID” column of the “Courses” table. This ensures that
students can only be associated with valid courses.

public static void main(String[] args) {

for (int i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {

int square = i * i;

System.out.println("The square of " + i + " is: " + square);

}
22. Write a method Disp_sal() in Java to display Net Salary on the basis of Basic Salary,
Allowance and Deductions to be passed as arguments of type double.
(Net Salary = Basic Salary + Allowance - Deductions)
If the Net Salary is more than 50,000, additional 2000 bonus is added.
Also display Net Salary.

Answer:
public class SalaryCalculator {

public static void main(String[] args) {

double basicSalary = 50000.0;

double allowance = 10000.0;

double deductions = 5000.0;

double netSalary = Disp_sal(basicSalary, allowance, deductions);

System.out.println("Net Salary: " + netSalary);

public static double Disp_sal(double basicSalary, double allowance, double

deductions) {

double netSalary = basicSalary + allowance - deductions;

// Check if the net salary is more than 50,000 and add a bonus if true
if (netSalary > 50000) {
netSalary += 2000;
}

return netSalary;
}
}
23. Online shopping is playing a vital role in making our country a digital country. Write
any two situations when online shopping can be more beneficial as compared to
traditional offline shopping. Also discuss any two main precautions to be taken while
shopping online.
Answer: Online shopping has become a significant contributor to the digital transformation of
many countries. Here are two situations when online shopping can be more beneficial
compared to traditional offline shopping:
(a) Convenience and Selection: Online shopping provides the convenience of shopping from
anywhere, at any time. You can explore a vast selection of products from multiple retailers
without the need to physically travel to different stores.
(b) Cost Savings and Comparisons: Online shopping often offers competitive prices and
discounts. Shoppers can easily compare prices across different websites and find the best
deals.

However, while online shopping offers numerous benefits, it’s essential to take precautions to
ensure a safe and satisfying shopping experience. Here are two main precautions:
(a) Secure and Trusted Websites: Only shop from well-established websites. Verify that the
website uses secure payment and look for “https://” in the website URL.
(b) Protect Personal Information: Be cautious when sharing personal and financial
information online. Use strong and unique passwords for your online shopping accounts, and
avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for making purchases.

24. Mention any two main points of difference between while and do-while statements.
Also give the syntax of both.
Answer: In a while loop, the condition is evaluated before the loop body is executed. If the
condition is initially false, the loop body may not execute at all whereas in a do-while loop,
the condition is evaluated after the loop body is executed. This guarantees that the loop body
will execute at least once, even if the condition is false.

Syntax: While Loop:

while (condition) {

// Code to be executed
}
Syntax: Do-While Loop:
do {

// Code to be executed
} while (condition);

20. What is the purpose of HAVING clause ? How is it different from WHERE clause in SQL ? Give
example to support you answer.
Answer: The HAVING clause in SQL is used to filter the results of a SQL query that includes
a GROUP BY clause.
The main difference between the HAVING and WHERE clauses is when they are applied:
• The WHERE clause is used to filter rows before they are grouped and is applied to individual
rows in the table.
• The HAVING clause is used to filter the results of the grouping after the GROUP BY operation
has been performed, and it is applied to groups of rows based on the results of aggregate
functions.

Example: Using the WHERE clause:

SELECT CustomerID, SUM(Quantity) as TotalQuantity

FROM Orders

WHERE Product = 'Widget'

GROUP BY CustomerID

HAVING TotalQuantity > 100;

Using the HAVING clause:

SELECT CustomerID, SUM(Quantity) as TotalQuantity

FROM Orders

WHERE Product = 'Widget'

GROUP BY CustomerID

HAVING SUM(Quantity) > 100;

21. Write advantages of online tutorials.

Interactive Learning: Online tutorials often incorporate multimedia, quizzes, and interactive
exercises, making the learning experience engaging and effective.

22. Why is Java considered as an Object Oriented Programming language ? Explain data
members and member methods with the help of an example.
Answer: Java is considered an Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) language because it
follows the principles and concepts of Object-Oriented Programming. These principles include
encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction.
Data members and member methods with an example in Java:

public class Car {

// Data members or attributes

private String brand;
private String model;
private int year;
private double price;

// Constructor to initialize data members

public Car(String brand, String model, int year, double price) {
this.brand = brand;
this.model = model;
this.year = year;
this.price = price;
}

// Member methods
public void startEngine() {
System.out.println("The " + brand + " " + model + "'s engine is started.");
}

public void accelerate() {

System.out.println("The " + brand + " " + model + " is accelerating.");
}

public double calculateResaleValue() {

int currentYear = java.time.Year.now().getValue();
int age = currentYear - year;
if (age >= 0 && age <= 5) {
return price * 0.7; // 70% of the original price for cars 0-5 years old
} else {
return price * 0.5; // 50% of the original price for cars older than 5
years
}
}

// Getters and setters for data members (encapsulation)

public String getBrand() {
return brand;
}
 public void setBrand(String brand) {
this.brand = brand;
}

// Other getters and setters for the remaining data members...

}
In this example, the Car class represents an object in an Object-Oriented manner. It has data
members (attributes) like brand, model, year, and price, and member methods
like startEngine, accelerate, and calculateResaleValue. The use of encapsulation is evident
through private data members and public getters and setters to access and modify these
attributes. The class illustrates the principles of OOP, including encapsulation and member
methods.

23. (i) ‘Java is a platform independent language.’ Justify the statement.

Answer: Java’s platform independence means that Java code can run on different computer
systems without modification. It achieves this through an intermediate step: when you write
Java code, it gets compiled into a special form called bytecode, which is not tied to any
specific computer. Then, a program called the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) on each computer
translates this bytecode into instructions that the computer can understand. Since the JVM is
available on various platforms, Java programs work on Windows, macOS, Linux, and more.
(ii) Give two relational operators and two logical operators in Java.
Answer: Relational Operators:
(i) Equal to (==): Used to check if two values are equal. For example: if (x == y) checks
if x and y have the same value.
(ii) Not equal to (!=): Used to check if two values are not equal. For example: if (a !=
b) checks if a and b have different values.
Logical Operators:
(i) Logical AND (&&): Used to combine two conditions. It returns true if both conditions
are true. For example: if (condition1 && condition2) checks if
both condition1 and condition2 are true.
(ii) Logical OR (||): Used to combine two conditions. It returns true if at least one of the
conditions is true. For example: if (conditionA || conditionB) checks if
either conditionA or conditionB is true.

{
production po=new production();
System.out.println("before change"+po.inp);
po.change(500);
System.out.println("after change"+po.inp);
}
}
Answer:
before change 50
Change 50
after change 50
(ii) What are the two ways to write comments in Java ?
Answer: In Java, there are two ways to write comments:
(a) Single-Line Comments: Single-line comments are used to comment a single line or a
portion of a single line. You can create a single-line comment by using //. Anything
following // on the same line is treated as a comment and is ignored by the compiler.
(b) Multi-Line Comments: Multi-line comments are used to comment multiple lines or a
block of code. You can create a multi-line comment by enclosing the comments
within /* and */. Anything between these delimiters is considered a comment and is ignored
by the compiler.

// Constructor
 public Stud(String rno, String sname, String address, double m) {
Rno = rno;
Sname = sname;
Address = address;
marks = m;
}

// Display method
public void display() {
// Add code to display the student information
}
}
20. (a) Name the package to be imported in Java to take input from the user at run
time.
Answer: java.util
(b) Consider the following two declarations and differentiate between them :
int a = 50;
Integer b = new Integer(50);
Answer: int a = 50; It directly assigns the integer value 50 to the variable a.
Integer b = new Integer(50); It creates an instance of the Integer class using the
constructor and assigns it to the variable b
The difference is that int is a primitive data type, while Integer is a class that wraps
an int value, allowing it to be treated as an object. In many cases, you can use int for simple
numerical values, but Integer provides more flexibility and object-oriented capabilities when
needed.
