Section -B(60 MARKS)

(Answer any four questions from this section)
Each program should be written using variable description/mnemonic
code so that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flowcharts and algorithms are not required.

Question 3
[15]
Design a class CONVERT that is described as follows:
datamember:
float centigrade;
default constructor:To initialize centigrade to its default value.
parameterised constructor:To assign the temperature in centrigrade scale to its
data member.

7
method:
CentiToFaren():To compute the farenheit equivalent of the centigrade
temperature and return its result.
main() :to compute farenheit equivalents of centrigrade temperatures from 10 °C
to 100°C in steps of 5°C.
Question 4
[15]

Question 5
[15]
Special words are the words which starts and ends with the same letter.
Examples
Existence
Comic
window
Palindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and
vice-versa.Examples:-MALAYALAM
MADAM
LEVEL
ROTATOR
CIVIC
All palindrome words are special words but all special words are not
pallindrome.Write a program to accept a word ,check and print whether the
word is a palindrome or only special word.

Question 6
[15]
Write a program to accept the year of birth of students as integer value from the
user. Using binary search technique on the sorted array of integers given below,
output the message "Record exists" if the value of the input is located in the
array.If not output the message "Record does not exist"
The given array is {1982,1985,1988,1999,2001,2005,2015}

Question 7
9
 [15]
Print the following patterns using a menu driven class.
i) ESCIICSE ii) *
ESCCSE ***
ESSE *****
EE *******
*********

Question 8
[15]
Define a class to declare a character array of size ten, accept the characters into
the array, sort the array using selection sort and display the sorted array, the
character with highest and lowest ASCII value.
Example:
Input : ‘r’, ‘z’, ‘P’ , ‘a’ , ‘n’, ‘p’, ‘m’, ‘U’, ‘Q’, ‘F’.
