Operator Meaning
each)
< Less than Any Four
> Greater than
<= Less than or equal to
>= Greater than or equal to
== Equal to
!= Not equal to

b) Enlist access specifiers in Java. 2M

Ans The access specifiers in java specify accessibility (scope) of a data member, 2M (1/2 M

c) Explain constructor with suitable example. 2M

Ans Constructors are used to assign initial value to instance variable of the class. 1M-
It has the same name as class name in which it resides and it is syntactically similar Explanation
to anymethod. 1M-
Constructors do not have return value, not even ‘void’ because they return the instance if Example
class.
Constructor called by new operator.
Example:
class Rect
{
int length, breadth;
Rect() //constructor
{
length=4; breadth=5;
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
Rect r = new Rect();
System.out.println(“Area : ” +(r.length*r.breadth));
}
}
Output : Area : 20
d) List the types of inheritance which is supported by java. 2M

e) Define thread. Mention 2 ways to create thread. 2M

Ans 1. Thread is a smallest unit of executable code or a single task is also called as thread. 1 M-
2. Each tread has its own local variable, program counter and lifetime. Define
3. A thread is similar to program that has a single flow of control. Thread
There are two ways to create threads in java:
1M -2ways
1. By extending thread class to create
Syntax: - thread
class Mythread extends Thread
{
-----
}
2. Implementing the Runnable Interface
Syntax:
class MyThread implements Runnable
{
public void run()
{
------
}
