Section A
Answer the following questions.
1. Explain the term loop with an example.
Ans. A loop is a sequence of instruction s that is continually repeated until a certain condition is
reached.
The following program illustrates the use of for loop.
public class Loops

Computer Applications – IX (ICSE Course) Answers 118

 {
static void NaturalNumbers()
{
int i;
for(i=1 ; i<=10 ; i++)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}
Now let us learn how the components of the loop gets executed.
Step 1:
At the beginning the initialization expression is executed i.e. i=1 which assigns 1 to i.
Step 2:
Then the test expression is checked i.e. i<=10 which checks whether the value of i is less than or
equal to 10.
Step 3:
Since the test expression is true it enters the body of the loop i.e. System.out.println(i); is
executed which prints the current value of i in the next line.
Step 4:
After executing the loop-body, the update expression i.e. i++ is executed which increments the
value of i. (The value of i becomes 2 after the execution of i++, since initially i was 1).
Step 5:
After the update expression is executed, the test-expression is again evaluated. If it is true the
sequence is repeated from step number 3, otherwise the loop terminates.
2. Name the Elements that Control a Loop.
Ans.
Every loop has elements that control its execution. These elements can be grouped under the
following in general:
1. Initialization Expression(s). Before entering a loop, the variable that controls the execution
of it is called initialization. The initialization of a variable may be inside a loop or outside it.
Whatever it may be it is executed only once before the iteration starts.
2. Test Expression. The test-expression (also called test-condition) is a condition, which decides
whether the loop body will be executed or not. Till the test expression evaluates to true, the
loop body gets executed otherwise the loop is terminated.

 3. Update Expression(s). The update expression(s) change the value(s) of the control variable(s).
The update expression(s) is usually made to be executed; before the next iteration.
4. The Body of the Loop. The statements that are executed repeatedly (as long as the, test
expression is true) form the body of the loop.
3. What are the three types of looping statement available in Java?
Ans. The three types of looping statements are: for, while and do-while.
4. Classify loops depending upon the priority in which a test-expression is evaluated.
Ans.
Depending upon the way a test-expression is evaluated in a loop it can be classified under the
following:
Entry controlled loop
Exit control loop
In an entry controlled loop, the test expression is evaluated before entering into a loop whereas
in an exit controlled loop, the test expression is evaluated before exiting from the loop.
5. Give the general syntax of a for-loop.
Ans. The syntax of the for loop statement is
for (initialization expression(s); test expression; update expression(s))
{
body of the loop;
}
6. Give an example to show how multiple initialization and updation are performed in a for-
loop.
Ans.
int i, j;
for(i=1, j=10 ; i<=10 ; j-- , i++)
{
System.out.println(“i=” +i+ “ ”+ “j=”+j);
}
7. What is an empty for-loop. Give an example.
Ans.
If the loop doesn’t contain a body, it is called an empty loop. For example,
for(i=1;i<=100;i++);
Notice the semicolon at the end of the parenthesis, indicating that the for loop does not have
body and therefore no statement is repeatedly executed again and again.

 8. State one similarity and one difference between while and do while loop.
Ans. Similarity: Both the loops are generally used if the number of iterations are not known.
Difference: The while loop is an entry controlled loop and the do-while is an exit controlled
loop.
9. State one similarity and one difference between while and for loop.
Ans. Similarity: Both are entry controlled loops.
Difference: Initialisation, test expression and updation can be written at the beginning of a for-
loop, whereas in a while loop, the initialisation is written outside the loop, and the updation
inside the body of the loop.
10. What is meant by an infinite loop ? Give one example.
Ans. A loop whose test expression always results to true is an infinite loop. For example,
for(int i=1;i!=0;i++)
{
}
11. Give the general syntax of a while-loop. How do you create infinite loops using a while-loop
structure?
Ans. The syntax of a while loop is,
while (condition or test-expression)
{
body-of-the-loop;
}
12. Give the general syntax of a do-while loop. How do you create infinite loops using do-while
loop structure?
Ans. The syntax of the do-while loop is:
do
{
statement;
}while (condition);
To create an infinite you need to make the condition always result to true. For example,
do
{
System.out.println(“Hello”);;
}while (true);

 13. Compare loops according to its usage.
Ans. The for loop is appropriate when you know in advance how many times the loop will be executed,
i.e., the first and the last limit is already known. The other two loops while and do-while loops
are more suitable in situations when it is not known in advance when the loop will terminate.
The while should be preferred when you may not want to execute the loop-body even once (in
case the test condition is false), and the do-while loop should be preferred when you’re sure
you want to execute the loop-body at least once.
14. What are Nested-loops? Give an example of a nested for-loop to show its functionality.
Ans. A loop within another loop is called nested loop. For example,
int x , y;
for(x=1;x<=3;x++)
{
for(y=1; y<=3 ; y++)
{
System.out.println(x+ “ ” +y);
}
}
15. Name two jump statements and their use.
Ans. The ‘break’ statement is used to exit from a loop or switch block.
The ‘continue’ statement is used to skip the remaining statements in a loop and continue with
the next iteration.

B. Answer as directed:
1. Convert the following segment into an equivalent do loop.
int x,c;
for(x=10,c=20;c>10;c=c-2)
x++;
Ans.
int x,c;
x=10;
c=20;
do
{
c=c-2;
x++;
}while(c>10);

be executed (show the working).

while(x<=y)
{
y=y/x;

}
Ans.
x y x<=y y=y/x

5 10 true 2
5 2 false -

3. Convert the following segment into equivalence for loop.

a. A BUZZ number is the number which either ends with 7 or divisible by 7.

Divide the larger number by the smaller; the remainder then divides the previous divisor.

51. Write a program to find the sum of series, taking the value of ‘n’ from the user.
1 + 2 2 + 3 3 + 4 4 + 5 …upto n terms
s= + + +
2* 3 3* 4 4 * 5 5* 6
Ans.
import java.util.*;
class Q51
{
static void main()
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
int n,i;
float s=0;
System.out.println(“Enter the value of n:”);
n=sc.nextInt();
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
s=s+(float)(i+(i+1))/((i+1)*(i+2));
}
System.out.println(“Sum=”+s);
}

 52. An interesting method of multiplication of integers (not very large numbers) is as follows.
The method can be illustrated by the following example. If the numbers 17 and 19 are to be
multiplied, they are put at the top of two columns as shown below:
17 19
The numbers at the left hand side is successively divided by 2 (integer division) while the
other is successively multiplied by 2. The results are written one below the other in their
respective columns. The process is repeated till the column containing the division results
reached 1. At this stage all the numbers in the right hand column are struck off where numbers
corresponding to it on the left hand column is even.
17 19
8 (even) 38
4 (even) 76
2 (even) 152
1 304
Now the remaining numbers on the right hand side are added: 19+304=323 which is equal to
the product of 17 and 19.
Write a program to input two 2-digit numbers and find their product using the above technique.
Ans.
import java.util.*;
class Q52
{
static void main()
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
int a,b,i,s=0;
System.out.println(“Enter 2 numbers:”);
a=sc.nextInt();
b=sc.nextInt();
for(i=a;i>=1;i=i/2)
{
if (i%2==1)
s=s+b;
b=b*2;
}
System.out.println(“Product=”+s);
}
}

 53. Write a program to input a number and print all its prime factors using prime factorization.
For Example,
INPUT: Enter an integer: 24
OUTPUT: Prime Factors using Prime Factorisation are:
2
2
2
3
Ans.
import java.util.*;
class Q53
{
static void main()
{
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
int n,i,f=2;
System.out.println(“Enter a number:”);
n=sc.nextInt();
for(i=n;i>1;)
{
if(i%f==0)
{
System.out.println(f);
i=i/f;
}
else
f++;
}
}
