The Understanding ICSE Computer Applications with BlueJ series has

been written keeping in view the growth of the Java language.
Moreover, it is getting popularity among the users to fulfil the need
at all levels and impart the latest IT-based knowledge and skills to the
students. The series (Class IX and Class X) has been prepared keeping
in mind the learning capacity and application level of the students.

Each chapter is supplemented with objective questions viz. Multiple

Choice Questions (MCQs) and Case Study based questions to involve
students more in critical thinking. The series has been prepared in a
graded form to introduce the fundamental concepts to the students
first and then gradually build-up the knowledge of the various
concepts.

The Teacher's Manual has been prepared to provide answers to

every question. Especially, the Java programs are well tested on
BlueJ platform and provided in the manual to explain the concepts
of programming. The book is especially meant for the teachers to
help them in their pedagogical endeavour. By using this book, the
teachers can explain the concepts more clearly to the students and
make them interested in learning Java language.

We are thankful to M/s Avichal Publishing Company who has really

helped us in all the possible ways and taken great pains in bringing

Introduction to Object Oriented
Programming Concepts

Topic I: Principles of Object Oriented Programming

III. Name the following:
1. Two categories of Low Level languages
Ans. (a) Assembly Language (b) Machine Language
2. Two Procedure Oriented Languages
Ans. (a) BASIC (b) COBOL
3. Two structure oriented programming languages
Ans. (a) PASCAL (b) ALGOL
4. Two examples of data abstraction in your daily life
Ans. (a) Clicking photos in a camera (b) ATM
5. Two examples of real world objects
Ans. (a) Television (b) Car
6. Two basic principles of Object Oriented Programming
Ans. (a) Encapsulation (b) Inheritance
IV. Write short notes with an example (if applicable)
1. Object Oriented Programming
Ans. Object Oriented Programming is an approach in which stress is laid on data
rather than functions. The data values remain associated with the functions
of a particular block of the program so as to encourage data security.
2. Data Abstraction
Ans. Data abstraction is the act of representing the essential features without
knowing the background details.
For example, Driving a car
3. Encapsulation
Ans. Wrapping of data and functions that operate on that data into a single
unit is called Encapsulation.
4. Machine Language
Ans. It is the form of computer language in which instructions are coded in
terms of binary digits (bits), i.e., in the form of zeroes and ones (0s and
1s). This form of binary instructions is also called the machine code or
the object code. The computer understands the machine code easily (i.e.,
it does not need to be transformed or converted into any other form).
The only advantage of this language is that the program executes faster
because the machine code is directly understood by the processor.
5. Polymorphism
Ans. In object oriented programming, polymorphism provides the means to
perform a single action in multiple different ways.

1
 6. Procedure Oriented Programming
Ans. Procedure Oriented Programming basically consists of a list of instructions
for the computer to follow and these are organised into groups known
as functions. In Procedure Oriented Programming, most of the functions
share global data and this data moves more openly around the system
from one function to the other.
7. Inheritance
Ans. Inheritence can be defined as the process where one class acquires the
properties of another class. The class which inherits the properties of
other class is known as the sub-class (derived class) and the class whose
properties are inherited is known as super class (base class).
8. Assembly Language
Ans. In assembly language, the instructions are written more in English like
words knowns as mnemonics. These instructions are not understood
by the processor directly. They are converted into equivalent machine
code through a translator program called Assembler. Assembly language
is machine dependent that makes it unsuitable for writing portable
programs that can execute across machines.
V. Distinguish between:
1. Object Oriented Programming and Procedure Oriented Programming
Ans. Object Oriented Programming Procedure Oriented

 After the compilation, it displays It displays the errors, one line at a
the errors for the whole program time and only after fixing that error
at once. the control goes to the next line.

VI. Answer the following questions:

1. Enlist the features of Object Oriented Programming.
Ans. Some of the features of Object Oriented Programming are:
• It gives stress on data items rather than functions.
• It makes the complete program/problem simpler by dividing it into
a number of objects.
• The objects can be used as a bridge to have data flow from one function
to another.
• The concept of data hiding enhances security in programs.
• It is highly beneficial to solve complex programs.
2. Which OOP principle implements function overloading? Explain
Ans. Polymorphism implements function overloading. It is the process of
using a function/a method for more than one purpose. In function
overloading, we write more than one function with the same name but
differing in the number and types of their arguments to perform the
tasks.
3. Write three benefits of Object Oriented Programming.
Ans. Three benefits of Object Oriented Programming are:
• The reusability of the program code is enhanced.
• Data abstraction makes the software easier to handle.
• Software for complex tasks can be easily developed.
4. Mention two limitations of:
(a) Procedure Oriented Programming
Ans. (i) The data values are global to all the functions. So, you may require
to make necessary changes in all the functions, in case of any change
in the data values.
(ii) It is not suitable to solve complex problems in real situations.
(b) Object Oriented Programming
Ans. (i) It requires intensive testing processes.
(ii) It takes more time to solve a problem as compared to Procedure
Oriented Programming.
5. How is Encapsulation useful in Object Oriented Programming? Explain
Ans. Encapsulation restricts the free flow of data from one object to another.
The data and functions are wrapped together in an object in such a
way that the data of a particular object can only be used in associated
functions. In this way, encapsulation helps in protecting the data from
unauthorised access.
6. What are the advantages of High Level languages?
Ans. The advantages of High Level languages are:
• High level languages are machine independent.
• High level languages are human readable as instructions are written
using English like words and phrases.

Introduction to Object Oriented Programming Concepts 3

 • I t is easier to understand and develop the program logic in high level
languages.
• The error detection and correction is easier.

Topic 2: Introduction to Java

III. Answer the following questions:
1. Who developed Java? What was it initially called?
Ans. James Gosling developed Java programming language. It was
initially called Oak.
2. Give a brief historical development of Java.
Ans. In 1991, at Sun Microsystems, Green team led by James Gosling started
working on a new technology for consumer electronic devices. In 1992,
the team created a new programming language called 'Oak' (the name
of a tree outside Gosling's office). But, the Oak didn't find much suitable
and renamed to Java in 1995.
3. Mention at least four features of Java.
Ans. The four features of Java are:
• It is an object oriented programming language.
• It is case sensitive.
• It is platform independent.
• It uses a compiler as well as an interpreter.
4. Define the following:
(a) A compiler
Ans. A compiler is a program that translates a source program written in
high level programming language to a low level programming language
without changing the meaning of the program. It processes the complete
source program at once and if, there are compilation errors, they are all
reported at once.
(b) An interpreter
Ans. An interpreter is a program that reads a source program line by line and
converts each line into its equivalent machine code and executes it. As
it reads the program line by line and so the errors are also reported one
by one.
(c) Byte code
Ans. Java compiler converts Java source code into an intermediate binary
code called byte code. The byte code is a common binary form of the
program and works irrespective of the machine on which it is to be
executed. Further, Java interpreter accepts the byte code and converts
it into machine code suitable to the specific platform.
5. What is Java Virtual Machine (JVM)?
Ans. Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a software that takes byte code as input and
converts it into machine code of the specific platform for its execution.

 6. Name three packages of Java Class Library.
Ans. The three packages of Java Class Library are:
(i) java.lang
(ii) java.io
(iii) java.util
7. What are Java reserved words? Name any five.
Ans. Java reserved words are the keywords that have special meaning in the
language.
Due to this, these words can not be used as names for variables, methods,
classes or any other identifier.
The five commonly used Java reserved words are:
(i) public (ii) void
(iii) int (iv) double
(v) char
8. Distinguish between:
(a) Source code and Object code

9. A compiler is specific to a language. Give your comments.

Ans. A compiler translates a source program written in a high level
programming language into an object program (low level programming
language). It means that the compiler designed for Java programming

Introduction to Object Oriented Programming Concepts 5

 language is specific to compilation and execution of Java language only. It
must be noted that each language needs a specific language translator to
perform the task. So, we can say that a compiler is specific to a language.
10. What is the basic format of a Java Program? Explain with an example.
Ans. The basic format of a Java program:
// ……………………….. comment of the program
public class <name of the class>
{
1 public static void main (String args[ ])
{
……………………………………
2 Declaration of
Java statements main function
…………………………………..
<Java output statement>
}
}
1: Opening and closing of a class
2: Opening and closing of main function
11. What is BlueJ?
Ans. BlueJ is an integrated development environment for Java programming
language that runs with the help of JDK. It is especially designed for the
beginners to learn Java programming.
12. Mention five features of BlueJ.
Ans. Five features of BlueJ are:
(i) It is a graphical user interface to write and execute Java programs.
(ii) It allows creating objects of the class dynamically and invoking their
methods.
(iii) It highlights the different tokens of the program like keywords,
variables, data types, etc. in different colours.
(iv) It facilitates easier debugging.
13. Name a package that is invoked by default.
Ans. java.lang
14. What are the points to be taken care while naming a class in a Java
program?
Ans. (i) The class name must not be a Java reserved word.
(ii) As far as possible, the class name should be meaningful and relevant
to the program.
(iii) Name of the class may be a sequence of letters or the combinations
of letters and digits.
(iv) Use underscore, if class name is to be given using two different
words.
For example, Emp_Salary, Prime_Number, etc.
(v) The class name should not start with a digit.
15. Java is a case sensitive language. Explain.
Ans. Java is case sensitive means that it distinguishes between uppercase and
lowercase characters.

6 Teacher’s Manual Understanding Computer Applications with BlueJ - IX

 For example,
int num;
Num = 85;
It will give a compilation error because Java will treat num and Num as
two different variables.
The main function in a Java program is declared as:
16.
public static void main (String args[ ])
What is the significance of the words public, static and void?
public : The keyword 'public' is an access specifier. It controls the visibility
Ans.
of class members.
static : We make the main method static. Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
will call to start the program even without creating any objects
of the class.
void : The keyword 'void' tells the compiler that the main method will
not return any value.
17. What does the term 'Compilation' mean?
Ans. The process of converting a source program written in a high level
programming language into an object program (machine language)
without changing the meaning of the program is called compilation.
18. A Java program uses compiler as well as interpreter. Explain.
Ans. Java compiler compiles Java source code to Bytecode. However,
this Bytecode can not run on the processor directly as the processor
understands only machine mode. Java Virtual Machine (JVM) takes this
Bytecode as input and converts it into machine code line by line. So,
JVM acts as an interpreter for converting Bytecode to machine code. In
this way, a Java program uses both a compiler as well as an interpreter
to get the program executed.
19. Design a program in Java to display the following information on the
output screen:
Name: ………………………………………
Class: ………………………………………
Roll No.: ………………………………………
Subject: ………………………………………
School: ………………………………………
Ans. public class Student
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
System.out.println("Name: Saket Jain ");
System.out.println("Class: IX");
System.out.println("Roll No.: 35");
System.out.println("Subject: Computer Applications");
System.out.println("School: Delhi Public School");
}
}

Elementary Concept of Objects and Classes

II. Answer the following Questions:

1. Define an Object with an example.
Ans. An object is a fundamental unit of Object Oriented Programming and
represents the real life entities. They are the basic elements of the Object
Oriented system and are also known as the Entities. Each real world
object contains some characteristics and behaviour.
For example, Taking a car as an object.
It has characteristics like colour, model, registration number, etc. It has
behaviours like start the engine, stop the engine, accelerate the car, apply
the brakes, etc.
2. Mention five states (characteristics) and two methods for the following

 3. What is an Object? Give five examples of real world objects.
Ans. An object is an entity having some specific characteristics and specific
behaviour.
For example, car, mobile phone, computer, student, camera, etc.
4. How will you define a software object?
Ans. A software object replaces the characteristics and behaviours of a real
world object with data members and member methods respectively.
5. Class and objects are inter-related. Explain.
Ans. A class is used to create various objects having different characteristics
and common behaviours. Further, each object follows all the features
defined within a class. This is why class is also referred to as a blue print or
prototype of an object. In this way, we can say that they are inter-related.
6. A class is also referred to as 'Object Factory'. Comment.
Ans. A class can create objects with different characteristics and common
behaviour just like a factory where it produces similar items (objects)
based on a particular design (class). Hence, class is also referred to as
'Object Factory'.
7. What does the following statement mean?
Employee staff = new Employee ( );
Ans. This statement means that the staff is an object created of class Employee.
Further, this object of the class 'Employee' will possess different
characteristics but will have common behaviour.
8. Why is an object called an 'Instance' of a class? Explain.
Ans. The data members declared within a class are also known as instance
variables.
When an object of a class is created, it includes instance variables
described within the class. This is the reason why an object is called as
an instance of a class.
9. Why is a class known as composite data type?
Ans. When the user creates a class, it becomes a data type for his/her program.
Thus, class is referred to as a user defined data type. This data type
includes different primitive data types such as int, float, char, etc. Hence,
it is also said to be composite data type.
10. Write a statement to create an object 'Keyboard' of the class 'Computer'.
Ans. Computer Keyboard = new Computer( );
11. Consider a real world object as 'Cricket Ball'. Now, mention two behaviour
and methods each by taking the 'Cricket Ball' as a software Object.
Ans. Behaviour : colour, weight
Methods : Throw( ), Display( )
12. Refer the class structure as shown below:
class MySchool
{
Name
Address
Principal's name

Elementary Concept of Objects and Classes 11

 AcceptData( );
PrintData( );
}
With reference to the above class declaration, indicate whether the
following statements are True/False:
Ans. (i) Acceptdata( ) is the characteristic of the class.
False
(ii) Address is behaviour of the class.
False
(iii) Acceptdata( ) and PrintData( ) are the common behaviour of the
objects of class 'MySchool'.
True
(iv) Behaviour is the medium of inter-object communication.
True
(v) Creating multiple objects of class 'MySchool' is not possible.
False
13. You want to create a class 'Football'. Choose the elements to be used as
characteristics and behaviour from the list given below:
Ball, Goalkeeper, Making a goal, Defender, Forward player, Passing ball,
Referee, Hitting corner, Making fault
Ans. Characteristics Behaviour
Ball Making a goal
Goalkeeper Passing ball
Defender Hitting corner
Forward player Making fault
Referee

14. Write a program by using a class 'Picnic' without any data members but
having only functions as per the specifications given below:
class name : Picnic
void display1( ) : to print venue, place and reporting time
void display2( ) : to print number of students, name of the teacher
accompanying and bus number
Write a main class to create an object of the class 'Picnic' and call the
functions display1( ) and display2( ) to enable the task.
Ans. class Picnic
{
public void display1( )
{
System.out.println("Venue: Dimna Lake");
System.out.println("Place: Jamshedpur");
System.out.println("Reporting Time: 9:00 am");
}
public void display2( )
{
System.out.println("Number of students: 50");

Values and Data Types

III. Write short answers:

1. What do you mean by data type?
Ans. In Java, the data type refers to as the classification that specifies to
identify the type of data a memory location can hold and the associated
operations applied to it without causing an error.
2. Define variable with an example.
Ans. A variable represents a memory location through a symbolic name which
holds a value of a particular data type. This name of the variable is used
in the program to refer to the stored value.
For example,
int marks = 95;
3. What do you mean by constant? Explain with an example.
Ans. In a Java program, there are some quantities which remain fixed (i.e. do
not change) throughout the execution of the program. Such quantities
are termed as Literals or Constants.
For example,
int num = 45;
variable constant

4. State two kinds of data types.

Ans. Two kinds of data types are:
(i) Primitive Data type
(ii) Non-Primitive Data type
5. What do you understand by Token? Name different types of tokens.
Ans. A token is the smallest element of a program that is meaningful to the
compiler.
The different types of tokens in Java are:
• Identifiers
• Literals
• Operators
• Separators
• Keywords
6. What are the rules to assign a variable in a Java programming?
Ans. The rules to assign a variable in a Java programming are:
(i)  Name of the variable should be a sequence of letters, digits,
underscore, etc.
(ii) It should not start with a digit.
(iii) It should not be a keyword or a boolean literal.
(iv) The underscore can be used in between the characters to separate
the words of a variable name.

14
 7. Explain the term 'type casting'?
Ans. The process of converting one pre-defined data type into another after
the user's intervention, is called type casting.
8. Perform the following:
Ans. (a) Assign the value of pie (3.142) to a variable with the requisite data
type.
double pi = 3.142;
(b) Assign the value of 3 (1.732) to a variable with the requisite data type.
double x = 1.732;
9. Distinguish between:
Ans. (a) Integer and floating constant
Integer Constant Floating Constant
Integer constants represent whole Floating constants represent
number values like 2, –16, 18246, fractional numbers like 3.14159,
24041973, etc. –14.08, 42.0, 675.238, etc.
Integer constants are assigned Floating constants are assigned
to variables of data type such as to variables of data type such as
byte, short, int, long, char. float, double.
(b) Token and Identifier
Token Identifier
A token is the smallest element of Identifiers are used to name
a program that is meaningful to things like classes, objects,
the compiler. variables, arrays, etc.
Tokens in Java are categorised Identifier is a type of token in
into various types such as Java.
Keywords, Identifiers, Literals,
Operators, etc.
(c) Character and String constant
Character Constant String Constant
These constants are written by They are written by enclosing a
enclosing a character within a set of characters within a pair of
pair of single quotes. double quotes.
Character constants are assigned String constants are assigned to
to variables of type char. variables of type String.
(d) Character and Boolean literal
Character Literal Boolean Literal
Character literals are written by A boolean literal can take only
enclosing a character within a one of the two boolean values
pair of single quotes. represented by the words true or
false.
Character literals can be assigned Boolean literals can only be
to variables of any numeric data assigned to variables declared as
type such as byte, short, int, boolean.
double, char, etc.

Values and Data Types 15

 10. Write down the data type of the following:
Ans. (a) Integer : int
(b) Long Integer : long
(c) A fractional number : double
(d) A special character : char
11. What do you understand by Boolean data type? Explain with an example.
Ans. A boolean data type is used to store one of the two boolean values i.e.,
true or false. The size of boolean data type is 8 bits or 1 byte.For example,
boolean temp = false;
12. What do you understand by primitive data type? Give two examples.
Ans. Primitive data types are the basic or fundamental data types used to
declare a variable.
For example, int, float
13. Why is it necessary to define data types in Java programming?
Ans. Data types tells Java how much memory it should reserve for storing
the value.
It also helps in preventing errors during compilation of programs.
14. Define the following with an example each:
Ans. (a) Implicit type conversion
When the result of a mixed mode expression is obtained in the higher
most data type of the variables without any intervention by the user,
it is called implicit type conversion.
For example,
int a = 10; float b = 25.5f, float c;
c = a + b;
(b) Explicit type conversion
In explicit type conversion, the data gets converted to a type as
specified by the programmer.
For example,
int a = 10; double b = 25.5; int c = (int)(a + b);
15. Define 'Coercion' with reference to type conversion.
Ans. In a mixed-mode expression, the process of promoting a data type
into its higher most data type available in the expression without any
intervention by the user is known as Coercion.
For example,
byte a = 42; int b = 50000; int result = a + b;
16. What do you mean by type conversion? How is implicit conversion
different from explicit conversion?
Ans. The process of converting of one pre-defined data type into another,
is called type conversion. In an implicit conversion, the result of a
mixed mode expression is obtained in the higher most data type of the
variables without any intervention by the user. Whereas, in an explicit
type conversion, the data gets converted to a type as specified by the
programmer.

 17. In what way is static declaration different from dynamic declaration?
Ans. In static declaration, the initial value of the variable is provided as a
literal at the time of declaration.
For example,
int num = 85; double p = 24.46535; char ch = 'A';
In dynamic declaration, the initial value of the variable is the result of an
expression or the return value of a method call. This declaration happens
at runtime.
For example:
int a = 4;
double ans = Math.sqrt(a);
18. What do you mean by non-primitive data type? Give examples.
Ans. A non-primitive data type is one that is derived from primitive data
types. When a number of primitive data types are used together, it
represents a non-primitive data type. For example, class and array.
19. Predict the return data type of the following:
(i) int p; double q;
r = p+q;
System.out.println(r);
Ans. double
(ii) float m;
p = m/3*(Math.pow(4,3));
System.out.println(p);
Ans. double
20. What are the resultant data types, if the following implicit conversions
are performed? Show the result with flow lines.
int i; float f; double d; char c; byte b;
(a) i + c/b;
Ans. i + c/b;
⇒ int + char / byte
⇒ int + char
⇒ int
(b) f/d + c*f;
Ans. f/d + c*f;
⇒ float / double + char * float
⇒ double + float
⇒ double
(c) i + f – b*c;
Ans. i + f – b*c;
⇒ int + float – byte * char
⇒ int + float – char
⇒ float – char
⇒ float
(d) (f/i)*c + b;
Ans. (f/i)*c + b;
⇒ (float / int) * char + byte
⇒ float * char + byte
⇒ float + byte
⇒ float

Values and Data Types 17

 (e) i + f – c + b/d;
Ans. i + f – c + b/d;
⇒ int + float – char + byte / double
⇒ int + float – char + double
⇒ float – char + double
⇒ float + double
⇒ double
(f) i/c + f/b;
Ans. i/c + f/b
⇒ int / char + float / byte
⇒ int + float
⇒ float

Operators in Java

III. Answer the following Questions:

1. What is an operator?
Ans. An operator is a symbol or sign used to specify an operation to be
performed in Java programming.
2. Name the different types of operators.
Ans. The different types of operators are Arithmetical, Logical and Relational.
3. Explain the following:
(a) Arithmetical operator
Ans. Arithmetic operators are used to perform mathematical operations on its
operands and the operands of arithmetic operators must be of numeric
type.
The arithmetic operators can operate upon one operand and two operands.
(b) Relational operator
Ans. Relational operators are used to determine the relationship between
the operands. They compare their operands to check, if the operands
are equal to ( == ), not equal to ( != ), less than ( < ), less than equal to
( <= ), greater than ( > ), greater than equal to ( >= ) each other or not.
For example,
int a = 8;
int b = 10;
boolean c = a < b;
It will result in true.
(c) Logical operator
Ans. Logical operators operate on boolean expressions to combine the results
of these boolean expressions into a single boolean value.
For example,
int a = 7;
int b = 10;
boolean c = (a < b) && (a % 2) == 0;
Here, the boolean variable c will result in false.
(d) Unary operator
Ans. Operators that act on one operand are called as Unary operators.
For example, unary +, unary –, unary increment (++), unary decrement
(– –), etc.
(e) New operator
Ans. The new operator is used to instantiate an object dynamically to allocate
memory for it.
(f) dot operator
Ans. The dot operator facilitates invoking members of the class to carry out
the tasks.
For example,
import java.util.*;

19
 4. What is a Ternary operator? Explain with the help of an example.
Ans. Ternary operators deal with three operands and evaluates the condition.
Syntax: variable = (test expression)? Expression 1: Expression 2;
If the condition is true then the result of ternary operator is the value of
expression 1. Otherwise, the result is the value of expression 2.
For example,
int a = 5; int b = 3;
int Max = (a>b)? a : b;
Here, the value 5 is stored in Max, as a>b is true.
5. Differentiate between the following:
Ans. (a) Arithmetical operator and Logical operator
Arithmetical Operator Logical Operator
Arithmetic operators are used They operate on boolean
to perform mathematical expressions to combine the results
operations. into a single boolean value.
It results in int, float, double data It results in true or false.
types.
(b) Binary operator and Ternary operator
Binary operator Ternary operator
Binary operators work on two Ternary operators work on three
operands. operands.
It is an arithmetical operator. It is a conditional operator.

(c) Logical AND (&&) and Logical OR(||)

Logical AND Logical OR
It evaluates to true, only if both of It evaluates to true, if one or both
its operands are true. of its operands are true.
It is represented by the symbol It is represented by the symbol
(&&). (||).

(d) Prefix operator and Postfix operator

Prefix Operator Postfix Operator
It works on the principle of It works on the principle of USE-
CHANGE-THEN-USE. THEN-CHANGE.
It is written before the operand. It is written after the operand.

(e) System.out.print( ) and System.out.println( )

System.out.print( ) System.out.println( )
It prints data but the cursor It prints data and places the
remains at the end of the data in cursor in the next line.
the same line.
Next printing takes place from the Next printing takes place from the
same line. next line.

 6. Differentiate between an operator and an expression.
Ans. An operator is a symbol or a sign used to specify an operation to be
performed whereas an expression is a set of variables, constants and
operators ( i.e., an expression is a combination of operators and operands).
7. If m=5 and n=2 then what will be the output of m and n after execution
of the following statements?
(a) m –= n;
Ans. m –= n
⇒m=m–n
⇒m=5–2
⇒m=3
(b) n = m + m/n;
Ans. n = m + m/n
⇒n=5+5/2
⇒n=5+2
⇒n=7
8. State the difference between = and ==.
Ans. = ==
It is the assignment operator used It is the equality operator used
for assigning a value to a variable. to check, if a variable is equal to
another variable or literal.
For example, int a = 10; For example, if (a == 10)
It assigns 10 to variable a. It checks whether the variable a is
equal to 10 or not.
9. What will be the output for the following program segment?
int a=0, b=10, c=40;
a = – –b + c++ +b;
System.out.println(" a = " + a);
Output: a = 58
10. What will be the output of the following?
if x =5
(a) 5* ++x;
Ans. 5 * ++x ⇒5*6
⇒ 30
(b) 5* x++;
Ans. 5 * x++
⇒5*5
⇒ 25
11. Evaluate the following expressions, if the values of the variables are:
a = 2, b = 3, and c = 9
(a) a – (b++) * (– –c);
Ans. a – (b++) * (– –c)
⇒2–3*8
⇒2–3*8
⇒ 2 – 24
⇒ –22

Operators in Java 21
 (b) a * (++b) % c;
Ans. a * (++b) % c
⇒ a * (++b) % c
⇒ 2 * (4) % 9
⇒8%9
⇒8
12. If a = 5, b = 9, calculate the value of:
a += a++ – ++b + a;
Ans. a += a++ – ++b + a
⇒ a = a + (a++ – ++b + a)
⇒ a = 5 + (5 – 10 + 6)
⇒a=5+1
⇒a=6
13. Give the output of the program snippet given below:
int a = 10, b =12;
if(a>=10)
a++;
else
++b;
System.out.println(" a = " + a + " and b = " +b);
Output: a = 11 and b = 12
14. Rewrite the following using ternary operator.
(a) if(income<=100000)
tax = 0;
else
tax = (0.1*income);
Ans. tax = income <= 100000 ? 0 : (0.1*income);
(b) if(p>5000)
d = p*5/100;
else
d = p*2/100;
Ans. d = p > 5000 ? p * 5 / 100 : p * 2 / 100;

IV. Answer the following:

1. What is meant by comment? Name the various ways to give comments
in a Java programming.
Ans. It is the non-executable statement that enables the users to understand the
program logic. It is basically a statement of remark called the comment.
The various ways to give comments in a Java programming are:
(i) Single line comment
(ii) Multiline comment
(iii) Documentation comment
2. What do you mean by scanner class?
Ans. The Scanner Class is the latest development in Java which allows the user
to read values of various data types. It is present in java.util package.
3. What are the different ways to give inputs in a Java program?
Ans. Java provides the following ways to give input in a program:
• Using Function Argument.
• Using InputStreamReader class
• Using Scanner class
• Using Command Line Arguments
4. What is the use of the keyword 'import'?
Ans. The keyword 'import' is used to avail the facilities available in the related
built-in packages which are to be used in Java programs.
5. What is a package? Give an example.
Ans. Java package is a collection of various classes where each class contains
different functions. A package can be included in the program by using
a keyword 'import'.

9. What do you understand by 'Run Time' error? Explain with an example.
Ans. The errors that occur during the execution of the program are known as
run time errors. They can only be resolved at runtime.
For example,
import java.util.*;
class Test
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
int n = in.nextInt( );
int ans = 10/n;
System.out.println("Result = " + ans);
}
}
This program will work for all non-zero values of n entered by the user.
When the user enters zero, a run-time error will occur. It means that the
execution depends entirely on the state of the program at run-time.
10. What are the different types of errors that take place during the execution
of a program?
Ans. Logical errors and Run time errors occur during the execution of the

Conditional Statements in Java

II. Answer the following questions:

1. Name the different ways to manage the flow of control in a program.
Ans. The different ways to manage the flow of control in a program are:
• Normal flow of control
• Conditional flow of control
• Multiple branching of control
2. Mention one statement each to achieve:
(a) Conditional flow of control
Ans. if-else statement
(b) Multiple branching of control
Ans. switch case statement
3. Explain the following statements with their constructs:
(a) nested if
The nested if statement is a statement, where an 'if' statement is
placed within another 'if' statement.
Syntax:
if (condition 1)
{
if (condition 2)
……………….
Statements
……………….
else
…………………
Statements
………………..
}
else
{
if (condition 3)
……………….
Statements
……………….
else
…………………
Statements
…………………
}

37
 (b) if - else
if - else statement is used to execute one set of statements when the
condition is true and another set of statements when the condition is
false.
Syntax:
if (condition 1)
{
Statement 1;
Statement 2;
………………
}
else
{
Statement 3;
Statement 4;
………………
}
(c) if - else - if
if - else - if ladder construct is used to test multiple conditions and then
take a decision. It provides multiple branching of control.
Syntax:
if (condition)
statement;
else if (condition)
statement;
else if (condition)
statement;
……………….
……………....
else
statement;
4. Differentiate between if and switch statement.
Ans. if switch
if can test for any Boolean switch can only test for equality.
expression.
if doesn't have such limitations. tests the same expression against
constant values.
5. What is the purpose of the switch statement in a program?
Ans. Switch statement is used for multi-way branching. It compares its
expression with multiple case values for equality and executes the case
whose value is equal to the expression of switch. If none of the cases
match, default case is executed.
6. Explain with the help of an example, the purpose of default in a switch
statement.
Ans. When none of the case values are equal to the expression of switch
statement then default case is executed.

38 Teacher’s Manual Understanding Computer Applications with BlueJ - IX

 For example,
int num = 3;
switch(num)
{
case 1:
System.out.println("Value of number is one");
break;
case 2:
System.out.println("Value of number is two");
break;
default:
System.out.println("Incorrect Input!");
}
7. Is it necessary to use 'break' statement in a switch case statement?
Explain.
Ans. Use of break statement in a switch case statement is optional. The
omission of break statement will lead to fall through where program
execution continues into the next case and onwards till end of switch
statement is reached.
8. Explain 'Fall through' with reference to a switch case statement.
Ans. The use of break statement at the end of each case is an optional. The
omission of break statement will continue the execution into the next
case and onwards till a break statement is encountered or end of switch
is reached. This is termed as 'Fall Through' in a switch case statement.
9. What is a compound statement? Give an example.
Ans. When two or more statements can be grouped together by enclosing
them between opening and closing curly braces, it is called a compound
statement.
For example,
a= 10; b=20;
if (a < b)
{
d = a – b;
System.out.println("The value of a is " + a);
System.out.println("The value of b is " + b);
System.out.println("The difference is " + d);
}
10. Explain with an example the if-else-if construct.
Ans. The if - else - if ladder construct is used to test multiple conditions and
then take a decision. It provides multiple branching of control.
For example,
if (marks < 35)
System.out.println("No Grade");
else if (marks < 60)
System.out.println("Grade: C");
else if (marks < 80)
System.out.println("Grade: B");

Conditional Statements in Java 39

 else if (marks < 95)
System.out.println("Grade: A");
else
System.out.println("Grade: A+");
11. What is the significance of System.exit(0)?
Ans. The function System.exit(0) is used when we want to terminate the
execution of the program at any instance. As soon as System.exit(0)
function is invoked, it terminates the execution, ignoring the rest of the
statements of the program.
12. Give two differences between the switch statement and the if-else
statement.
Ans. switch if-else
It can only test, if the expression is It can test for any boolean expression
equal to any of its case constants. like less than, greater than, equal to,
not equal to, etc.
It is a multiple branching flow of It is a bi-directional flow of control
control statement. statement.

Iterative Constructs in Java

II. Answer the following questions:

1. What do you understand by iterative process? How can it be resolved
by using loop?
Ans. Iterative process means repeating a set of instructions a certain number
of times to perform some task. Using loops, the programming language
like Java, enable us to repeat a single statement or a set of statements as
long as the desired condition remains true.
2. Explain for loop with an example.
Ans. The for loop is an entry-controlled loop. It is also said to be a fixed
iterative loop because the number of iterations is fixed. Here, the loop
starts with a given value of a variable. It executes the block of statements
by updating the control variable unless the given condition is false.
For example,
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
{
a = 2 * i;
System.out.println(a);
}
This for loop prints the table of 2 till 10 and iterates as long as this
condition remains true. Once it becomes false, execution of the loop is
stopped.
3. Name the different types of looping constructs.
Ans. The different types of looping constructs are:
• for
• while
• do-while
4. What are the parameters needed to create a for loop?
Ans. The following parameters are commonly used in a for loop:
(i) An initial value of the loop.
(ii) A test condition of the loop. The processs will iterate as long as the
condition remains true.
(iii) An update value to modify the loop control variable after each
iteration.
(iv) Body of the loop which consists of the statements that need to be
repeatedly executed.
5. Define the following with their constructs:
(a) Entry controlled loop
Ans. An entry-controlled loop checks the condition at the beginning of the
loop. If the condition is true, the control enters the body of the loop and
the process repeats until the given condition is false.
For example, for and while loops.

61
 (b) Exit controlled loop
Ans. An exit-controlled loop checks the condition after executing its body. If
the condition is true, the loop will perform the next iteration, otherwise
the program control will exit the loop.
For example, do-while loop
6. Write down the general format of:
(a) for loop
Ans. for (initial value; test condition; update)
{
//loop-body
}
(b) do - while loop
do
{
//loop-body
} while (condition);
(c) while loop
while (condition)
{
//loop-body
}
7. What is the purpose of using:
(a) break statement?
Ans. The 'break' statement is also used in looping construct for unnatural
termination of the loop. It can be used in all the loops.
(b) continue statement?
Ans. The continue statement is used to unconditionally jump to the next
iteration of the loop, skipping the remaining statements of the current
iteration.
8. What do you understand by inter-conversion of loops?
Ans. We can convert the repetitive statement using one type of loop into other
type of loops. Thus, the process of converting of some repetitive logic is
coded using a loop into other type of loop is termed as inter-conversion
of loops.
9. What are the different ways to inter-convert the loops? Name them.
Ans. The different ways to inter-convert the loops are:
• for loop to while loop
• for loop to do-while loop
• do-while loop to while loop
• do-while loop to for loop
• while loop to do-while loop
• while loop to for loop
10. Define the following:
(a) Finite loop
Ans. A loop which iterates for a finite number of iterations is termed as a finite
loop.

62 Teacher’s Manual Understanding Computer Applications with BlueJ - IX

 (b) Delay loop
Ans. A loop which is used to pause the execution of the program for some
amount of time, is termed as delay loop.
(c) Infinite loop
Ans. A loop which continues iterating indefinitely and never stops, is termed
as infinite loop.
(d) Null loop
Ans. A loop that does not include any statement to be repeated, is known as
null loop.
Basically, a null loop is used to create a delay in the execution.
11. Distinguish between:
(a) for and while loop
Ans. for loop while loop
It is suitable when the number of It is helpful in situations where
iterations are known. number of iterations are not known.
The loop will repeat infinite times, if If the condition is not defined then
the condition is not defined. an error will be shown.
(b) while and do-while loop
Ans. while loop do-while loop
It is an entry-controlled loop. It is an exit-controlled loop.
The loop will not execute at all, if This loop will execute at least once,
the condition is not satisfied. whether the condition is true or
false.
12. State one difference and one similarity between while and do-while loop.
Ans. Similarity: Both while and do-while loops are suitable in situations where
number of iterations is not known.
Difference: The while is an entry-controlled loop whereas do-while is an
exit-controlled loop.
13. State one similarity and one difference between while and for loop.
Ans. Similarity: Both for and while are entry-controlled loops.
Difference: The for loop is a suitable choice when the number of iterations
are known. Wheras, while loop is helpful in situations where number of
iterations is not known.
14. Distinguish between Step loop and Continuous loop.
Ans. In Continuous loop, loop control variable is incremented or decremented
by one in each iteration. Whereas in Step loop, the loop control variable
is incremented or decremented by more than one in each iteration.

Nested for Loops

III. Differentiate between the following:

1. Nested if and nested loop
Ans. Nested if Nested loop
Nested if statement is a statement Nested loop is a loop programmed
where an 'if' statement is placed within another loop.
within another 'if' statement.
Nested if is used to do conditional Nested loops are used to execute
checks at multiple levels. one iterative set of statements inside
another iterative set.

2. Break and continue

Ans. Break Continue
Break statement is used to terminate It is used to postpone the further
a block in which it exists. execution of the loop and move to
the next iteration.
Break statement can be used in Continue statement is used only in
switch-case as well as in loop the loop statement.
statements.

3. Labelled break and Unlabelled break

Ans. Labelled break Unlabelled break
In labelled break, a label is used In unlabelled break, label is not used
with the break statement which will with the break statement which will
allow the control to move out of the allow the control to move out of the
label block. inner most block.
Labelled break can be used to exit Unlabelled break only exits from the
out of a deeply nested set of loops. loop within which it is enclosed.

IV. Answer the following questions:

1. What do you mean by a nested loop?
Ans. Nested loop is defined as a loop programmed within another loop. It
is used in such a way that the inner loop repeats a number of times for
each repetition of the outer loop.
2. In what situation you need a nested loop?
Ans. Nested loops are used when the problem statement requires the use of
loop inside another loop. The inner loop executes for the defined period
for every single iteration of the outer loop. Nested loops are generally
used in sorting problems, pattern printing, matrix multiplication etc.

92
 3. How will you terminate outer loop from the block of the inner loop?
Ans. We can terminate outer loop from the block of the inner loop by using
Labelled break statement (break outer).
4. What do you mean by labelled break statement? Give an example.
Ans. Sometimes, it may happen that the outer loop is to be terminated, if a
condition is met in the inner loop. In this situation, the labelled break
statement will be used to serve the purpose.
For example,
int i, j;
outer:
for(i=1;i<=5;i++)
{
for(j=1;j<=3;j++)
{
System.out.println(i*j);
if (j ==2)
break outer; //Labelled break
}
}
5. Write down the syntax of the nested loop.
Ans. The syntax of the nested loop:

for (<initial value>; <test condition>; <update value>)

{
for (<initial value>; <test condition>; <update value>)
{
………………………………………………………………………………………………
executable statement(s)
………………………………………………………………………………………………
}
}

V. Give the output of the following snippets based on nested loops:

1. int i, j;
for (i=0; i<4; i++)
{
for (j=i; j>=0; j– –)
System.out.print(j);

Computing and Ethics

II. Write short notes on:

1. Software Piracy
Ans. Software piracy means illegally copying, reproduction, distribution or
use of software. Making duplicate copies not only promotes immorality
but also affects the sale of the original software. It is also defined as the
act of stealing software that is legally protected.
2. Spam
Ans. Spam is referred to as the unwanted e-mails through which an adversary
can pass on viruses and fake messages. Most spam messages contain
lucrative advertisement and message heading to compel users to open
the messages. Spams waste user's valuable time and also waste memory
space of the user's PC.
3. Cyber Crime
Ans. Cyber crime can be defined as an online crime, using computer and
the Internet medium. It mainly involves stealing personal information,
passwords, credit card/debit card details, bank accounts, etc. with
the intent of causing harm to the individual. Cyber crimes may create
problems for the individual being infected, their family and the society
to which the individual belongs to.
4. Hacking
Ans. Hacking can be defined as an attempt to exploit a computer system. It
mainly involves unauthorised access viz. fraud, stealing personal data
over a computer and the network.
5. Software Copyright
Ans. Software copyright is defined as the legal custody of a software system.
The legal custody of the software can be held by paying the licencing
cost of the software to the developers or the distributors of the software.
Software copyright prohibits the users of a software program from
making copies without the permission of the person/company concerned
which issues the license for the program.
6. Cyber Law
Ans. Cyber law defines the legal ways of gainfully utilising the internet
or computer systems. Cyber laws prevent illegal use of the internet
technology for unlawful purposes. India became the 21st nation to adopt
Cyber law in the year 2000.
III. Answer the following questions:
1. What do ethics mean? Mention at least five ethical values related to
computers.
Ans. In the field of information technology, ethical responsibilities are
known as computer ethics which regulate the use of computers. Some

110
 common issues of computer ethics include intellectual property rights
(such as copyrighted electronic content), privacy concerns, and how the
computers affect society.
Five ethical values related to computers are as follows:
• Do not install or uninstall any software without prior permission.
• Never move the peripherals from one place to other unnecessarily.
• While working in a computer lab/room, you must maintain the rules
and regulations of the lab.
• Do not try to steal the secret information of any other computer.
• Do not copy or use proprietary software for which you have not paid.
2. How will you protect your data on the Internet?
Ans. The different ways to protect data on the internet are as follows:
• Do not disclose your passwords to your friends. They may open
different websites and misuse your accounts.
• Do not download unwanted software/free software from the web. It
may corrupt your system.
• Do not read unwanted e-mails, as they might be carrying viruses.
• Install high quality antivirus programs or signatory antivirus of a
reputed company in your computer to protect against viruses.
3. What is meant by malicious code?
Ans. Malicious code refers to a new kind of threat, which corrupts the system
and leaks personal data in due course of time. It is virtually impossible
to recognise such malicious code attacks.
Malicious code is any program that acts in unexpected and potentially
damaging ways (e.g., Trojan Horse). Malicious code can attack
institutions at either the server or the client level. It can also attack into
the infrastructure of a system (i.e., it can change, delete, insert or even
transmit data outside the institution).
Malicious code may be downloaded by the user in the following ways:
• While working on e-mails
• At the time of web surfing
• While downloading files/documents/software
Protection from malicious code involves limiting the capabilities of the
servers and web applications to only functions necessary to support the
operations. User of firewalls and other such network protection devices
prevents ingress of malicious code through the network. There must be
user awareness and training programs to overcome such situations.
4. How will you protect your system from malicious intent and malicious
code?
Ans. You can protect your computer system by using it in a proper and
systematic way. The following precautions can protect your system from
attackers:
• You should use high quality antivirus/signature-based antivirus on
your computer system.
• If you have started downloading a software that you suspect to be
malicious then stop the downloading immediately.
• You should avoid the use of pirated software or unauthorised software
which might cause great damage to your system in due course.

Computing and Ethics 111

 • You should also avoid using memory cards and pen drives of others
which may be virus infected. If it is necessary to use them, then scan
them first as a safety measure.
• If you find any e-mail coming from unknown sources, then do not
open it and delete it from your computer system.
5. What are the advantages of cyber law? Mention any five.
Ans. The main advantages of cyber law are as follows:
• Companies shall now be able to carry out electronic commerce using
the legal infrastructure provided by the Act.
• Digital signatures have also been given legal validity and sanction in
the Act.
• The Act opens the doors for the entry of corporate companies in the
business of being certifying authorities for issuing Digital Signatures
Certificates.
• The Act allows the Government to issue notifications on the web, thus
heralding e-governance.
• The Act enables companies to file any form, application or any
other document with any office, authority, body or agency owned
or controlled by the appropriate Government in electronic form by
means of such electronic form as may be prescribed by the appropriate
Government.
6. How will you avoid software piracy? Explain.
Ans. The ways to avoid software piracy are as follows:
• Always buy your software from a reputed organisation. When in doubt,
you can contact through e-mail for guidance.
• Make sure that your software comes with a licensing agreement,
original disk and authentic packaging.
• Avoid buying multiple software titles from different publishers on a
single disk.
• If the seller provides a serial number other than the one mentioned on
package, it indicates that the software is not authentic.
7. What are the different ways to stop spam?
Ans. We can stop spam by installing a good antivirus software (also known
as filters) in our computer system. Some useful filters are Spam Attack,
Spam Hater, etc. Moreover, as far as possible, try to avoid reading e-mail
messages from unrecognised senders and delete them.
8. What role can you play to stop cyber crimes? Explain.
Ans. Cyber crimes affect individuals viz. loss of data or personal information,
online criminal activity etc. In order to stop cyber crimes following
activities can be undertaken:
• Always educate the needy about cyber crime issues and relevant laws.
• Report cyber criminal activities to legal agencies to prevent others
from being affected.
• Never download pirated software.
• To ensure privacy, never share password and OTP with others.
• Ensure that your computer system and installed software are timely
updated.

More on Basic Input/Output
(Scanner and Printer Classes)

III. Answer the following:

1. What do you mean by the Scanner class?
Ans. The Scanner class is a development in Java which allows user to input
the values of various data types. The Scanner class basically works on
the principle of 'Tokens' in the set of values input from the console.
2. Write syntax along with an example to create a scanner object.
Ans. Syntax: Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
Where, sc is the scanner class object created in the above line. It can be
used to use any available method in Scanner class documentation.
3. Mention the syntax to use '?' as a token delimiter.
Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
sc.useDelimiter ( "?" );
4. Write down the use of nextInt( ) method.
Ans. It receives the next token which can be expressed as an integer from the
scanner object. It is stored in an integer type variable.
5. What is the application of hasNextBoolean( ) method?
Ans. This function returns true if the next token can be expressed as a boolean
type value otherwise, it returns false.
6. Name the package which can be imported to use Scanner class.
Ans. Scanner class is available in the system package java.util.*.
7. In what way can the following data be read from the scanner object?
(a) Integer type
Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int m = sc.nextInt( );
(b) Float type
Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
float m = sc.nextFloat( );
(c) Double type
Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
double m = sc.nextDouble( );
(d) String type
Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String str = sc.next( );
(e) Boolean type
Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
boolean bv = sc.nextBoolean( );

113
 IV. Differentiate between the following:
1. Scanner object and BufferedReader object
Ans. Scanner Object BufferedReader Object
It works on the principle of 'Tokens' The buffered allows storing of input
into specific types like int, float, so that the instant supply of data
boolean, etc. as an input. can be done to the CPU without
any delay.
It works in JDK 1.5 version or more. It works in JDK 1.1 version onwards.

2. nextFloat( ) and nextDouble( )

Ans. nextFloat( ) nextDouble( )
It receives the next token which This method receives the next token
can be expressed as a floating type which can be expressed as a double
value. type value.
float p; double p;
p= in.nextFloat( ); p= in.nextDouble( );

3. next( ) and nextLine( )

Ans. next( ) nextLine( )
The next( ) method accepts a token This method receives a sentence or a
as a string through the scanner line of text which contains spaces in
object. between the words, excluding any
terminator at the end.
String str1; String str2;
str1= in.next( ); str2= in.nextLine( );

4. hasNext( ) and hasNextLine( )

Ans. hasNext( ) hasNextLine( )
This function returns true if the This function returns true if the
scanner object has another token in scanner object has another line in
its input, otherwise it returns false. its input, otherwise it returns false.

5. hasNextInt( ) and hasNextBoolean( )

Ans. hasNextInt( ) hasNextBoolean( )
This function returns true if the next This function returns true if the
token in the scanner object can be next token can be expressed as a
interpreted as an int value. boolean type value otherwise, it
returns false.

V. Unsolved Programs:
1. Using Scanner class, write a program to input temperatures recorded in

Prog. import java.util.Scanner;
public class PositiveNegative
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int n, i, num;
System.out.print("Enter the value of n :");
n = sc.nextInt( );
String negative = "", positive = "";
for(i = 1;i<=n;i++)
{
System.out.print("Enter the number :");
num = sc.nextInt( );

negative = negative + num + ',';
}
if(num > 0 )
{
if(i==n)
positive = positive + num;
else
positive = positive + num + ',';
}
}
System.out.println(negative+positive);
}
}
9. Write a program to generate and display random numbers between 1
to N by using Scanner class taking N from the console.
Prog. import java.util.Scanner;
public class RandomNumber
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int n, i;
System.out.println("Enter the value of n:");
System.out.println("Random numbers between 1 to "+n" are:");
n = sc.nextInt( );
for(i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{
double p = (Math.random( )*n)+1;
System.out.println(p);
}
}
}
10. Consider a String:
THE COLD WATER AND THE HOT WATER GLASSES ARE KEPT ON
THE TABLE
Write a program by using Scanner class to enter the string and display
the new string after removing repeating token 'THE'.
The new string is:
COLD WATER AND HOT WATER GLASSES ARE KEPT ON TABLE
Prog. import java.util.Scanner;
public class Duplicate
{
public static void main(String args[ ])

 {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String s1 = "";
 System.out.println("To quit program: Enter a string ending with space and with '.' ");
while (true)
{
String n = sc.next( ).toUpperCase( );
if (n.equals("."))
break;
if(!n.equals("THE"))
s1 = s1 + " "+n;
}
System.out.println("Sentence after removing 'THE' : " + s1);
}
}
11. Using Scanner class, write a program to input a string and display all
the tokens of the string which begin with a capital letter and end with
a small letter.
Sample Input: The capital of India is New Delhi
Sample Output: The India New Delhi
Prog. import java.util.Scanner;
public class CaptialLetter
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String s1 = "";
System.out.println("To quit program: Enter a string ending with space and with '.' ");
while (true)
{
String n = sc.next( );
if (n.equals("."))
break;
if(Character.isUpperCase(n.charAt(0)))
s1 = s1 + " "+n;
}
System.out.println("Sentence : " + s1);
}
}
12. Write a program to input a string by using Scanner class. Display the
new string which is formed by the first character of each string.
Sample Input: Automated Teller Machine
Sample Output: ATM
Prog. import java.util.Scanner;
public class Acronym
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{

String s1 = "";
System.out.println("To quit program: Enter a string ending with space and with '.' ");
while (true)
{
String n = sc.next( );
if (n.equals("."))
break;
s1 = s1 + n.charAt(0);
}
System.out.println("Result : " + s1);
}
}
13. Consider the following statement:
"26 January is celebrated as the Republic Day of India"
Write a program (using Scanner class) to change 26 to 15; January to
August; Republic to Independence and finally print as:
"15 August is celebrated as the Independence Day of India"
Prog. import java.util.Scanner;
public class Replace
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
String s1 = "";
System.out.println("To quit program: Enter a string ending with space and with '.' ");
while (true)
{
String n = sc.next( );
if(n.equals("."))
break;
else if (n.equals("26"))
s1 = s1 + "15";
else if (n.equals("January"))
s1 = s1 + " " +"August";
else if (n.equals("Republic"))
s1 = s1 + " " +"Independence";
else
s1 = s1 + " " + n;
}
System.out.println("Result : " + s1);
}
}
14. Write a program by using Scanner class to input principal (P), rate (R)
and time (T).
Calculate and display the amount and compound interest.
Use the formula:
A = P(1 + (R / 100))T
CI = A – P

122 Teacher’s Manual Understanding Computer Applications with BlueJ - IX

Prog. import java.util.Scanner;
public class Interest
{
public static void main(String args[ ])
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int principal, rate, time;
double ci, amount;
System.out.print("Enter Principal :");
principal = sc.nextInt( );
System.out.print("Enter rate% :");
rate = sc.nextInt( );
System.out.print("Enter time :");
time = sc.nextInt( );
amount = principal * (Math.pow((1 + ((double) rate /100)), time));
ci = amount – principal;
System.out.println("Amount : "+amount);
System.out.println("Compound Interest : "+ci);
}
}
