Section A

Question 1(i)

Return data type of isLetter(char) is ............... .

1. Boolean
2. boolean
3. bool
4. char

Answer

boolean

Reason — isLetter() method returns true if the specified character is a letter else, it returns
false. Thus, the return data type of isLetter(char) is boolean.

Question 1(ii)

Method that converts a character to uppercase is ............... .

1. toUpper()
2. ToUpperCase()
3. toUppercase()
4. toUpperCase(char)

Answer

toUpperCase(char)

Reason — Method that converts a character to uppercase is toUpperCase(char) method.

Question 1(iii)

Give output of the following String methods:

"SUCESS".indexOf('S') + "SUCCESS".lastIndexOf('S')

1. 0
2. 5
3. 6
4. -5
Answer

Reason — indexOf() returns the index of the first occurrence of the specified character
within the string and lastIndexOf() returns the index of the last occurrence of the specified
character within the string. Since a string begins with index 0, the given methods are
evaluated as follows:

⇒0+6
"SUCESS".indexOf('S') + "SUCCESS".lastIndexOf('S')

⇒6

Question 1(iv)

Corresponding wrapper class of float data type is ............... .

1. FLOAT
2. float
3. Float
4. Floating

Answer

Float

Reason — Corresponding wrapper class of float data type is Float.

Question 1(v)

............... class is used to convert a primitive data type to its corresponding object.

1. String
2. Wrapper
3. System
4. Math

Answer

Wrapper

Reason — Wrapper class is used to convert a primitive data type to its corresponding object.

Question 1(vi)

Give the output of the following code:

System.out.println("Good".concat("Day"));

1. GoodDay
2. Good Day
3. Goodday
4. goodDay
Answer

GoodDay

Reason — concat() method is used to join two strings. Thus, "Good" and "Day" are joined
together and printed as "GoodDay".

Question 1(vii)

A single dimensional array contains N elements. What will be the last subscript?

1. N
2. N-1
3. N-2
4. N+1

Answer

N-1

Reason — The index of an array begins from 0 and continues till Size - 1. Thus, if an array
has N elements, the last subscript/index will be N - 1.

Question 1(viii)

The access modifier that gives least accessibility is:

1. private
2. public
3. protected
4. package

Answer

private

Reason — A data member or member method declared as private is only accessible inside
the class in which it is declared. Thus, it gives the least accessibility.

Question 1(ix)

Give the output of the following code :

String A = "56.0", B = "94.0";

double C = Double.parseDouble(A);
double D = Double.parseDouble(B);
System.out.println((C+D));

1. 100
2. 150.0
3. 100.0
4. 150
Answer

150.0

Reason — parseDouble() method returns a double value represented by the specified string.
Thus, double values 56.0 and 94.0 are stored in C and D, respectively. Both C and D are
added and 150.0 (56.0 + 94.0) is printed on the screen.

Question 1(x)

What will be the output of the following code?

System.out.println("Lucknow".substring(0,4));

1. Lucknow
2. Luckn
3. Luck
4. luck

Answer

Luck

Reason — The substring() method returns a substring beginning from the startindex and
extending to the character at index endIndex - 1. Since a string index begins at 0, the
character at startindex (0) is 'L' and the character at the endIndex (4-1 = 3) is 'k'. Thus, "Luck"
is extracted and printed on the screen.

Section B

Define a class to perform binary search on a list of integers given below, to search for an
element input by the user, if it is found display the element along with its position, otherwise
display the message "Search element not found".

if (arr[m] < n)
 l = m + 1;
else if (arr[m] > n)
h = m - 1;

}
else {

index);
}
}
}

Output

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
double arr[] = new double[20];
int l = arr.length;
double p = 1.0;

System.out.println("Enter 20 numbers:");
for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)

arr[i] = in.nextDouble();
}

for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)

{
p *= arr[i];
}
System.out.println("Product = " + p);

System.out.println("Square of array elements :");

for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)

System.out.println(sq + " ");
}
}
}

public class KboatChangeCase

{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
