Attempt All Question
Question 1.
(a) Define encapsulation.
Answer:
Encapsulation is wrapping up of data and its associated functions
into a single unit. It is achieved by the use of access specifiers like 1 public, private, and protected.
(b) What are keywords? Give an example.
Answer:
Keywords are tokens in java that have a specific meaning.
E.g. static
(c) Name any three library packages.
Answer:
java.lang
java.io
java.util
(d) Name the three types of error, syntax, runtime or logical error in the following case below:
(i) Math.sqrt (36 – 45)
(ii) int a;b;c
Answer:
(i) logical
(ii) Syntax
(e) If int x [ ] = {4,3,7,8,9,10}; what are the values of p and q?
(i) p = x.length
(ii) q = x[2] + x[5]*x[1]
Answer:
(i) 6
(ii) 37
Question 2.
(a) State the difference between = = operator and equals () method.
Answer:
| = =operator | equals() |
| It compares two primitive data types | It compares two strings |
(b) What are the type of casting shown by the following examples:
(i) char c (char) 120;
(ii) int x = ‘t’;
Answer:
(i) Explicit
(ii) Implicit
(c) Differentiate between formal parameter and actual parameter.
Answer:
Formal parameters are used in the function definition using arguments as the input to the function.
Actual parameters are used in calling the above function by passing values.
(d) Write a function prototype of the following:
A function PosChar which takes a string argument and a character argument and returns an integer value.
Answer:
int PosChar(String str, char ch);
(e) Name any two types of access specifiers.
Answer:
private and protected.
Question 3.
(a) Define an impure function.
Answer:
An impure function is a function where the values passed in the formal arguments of function is reflected back in the main function when values are changed by the called function.
(b) Explain the function overloading with example.
Answer:
void lol()
{
String str = “lol”;
‘ }
void lol(int a)
{
String str1 = “lol”;
}
(c) What is default constructor and where is it useful?
Answer:
Default constructor is a constructor without any parameter. It is used to initialize class variables to their default values.
(d) State the difference between selection sort and bubble sort.
Answer:
| Selection Sort | Bubble Sort |
| One element is compared with all the elements of the array and position is exchanged at the end of comparison. | Adjacent elements of the array are compared and exchanged. |

Question 4.
Define a class named BookFair with the following description:
Instance variables/Data members String Bname – stores the name of the book double price – stores the price of the book
Member methods
(i) BookFair() – Default constructor to initialize data members
(ii) void input() – To input and store the name and the price of the book.
(iii) void calculate() – To calculate the price after discount. Discount is calculated based of the following criteria
| Price | Discount |
| Less than or equal to rs 10000 | 2% of the price |
| More than rs 1000 and less than or equal to rs3000 | 10% of the price |
| More than rs3000 | 15% of the price |
(iv) void display() – To display the name and price of the book after discount.
Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.
Answer:
import java.util.*;
class BookFair
{
String Bname;
double price;
BookFair ()
{
Bname = "";
price = 0.0;
}
void input ()
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.printIn("Enter name and price of the book:");
Bname = sc.nextLine();
price = sc.nextDouble();
}
void display()
{
System.out.printIn(" Name: "+Bname+"\n"+"Price:"+price);
}
void calculate()
{
double discount =0;
if(price <= 1000)
discount = (2.0/100.0)*price;
else if(price >1000 && price <= 3000)
discount = (10.0/100.0)*price;
else if(price >3000)
discount = (15.0/100.0)*price;
else;
price = price - discount;
}
public static void main()
{
BookFair bf = new BookFair();
bf.input();
bf.calculate();
bf.display();
}
}
Question 5.

public static void main(String[ ] args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.printIn("Enter 1 for number pattern and 2 for string pattern");
int opt = sc.nextIntO;
switch(opt)
{
case 1: int a = 1;
forfint i =1;i<=5;i++)
{
for(int j = 1;j<=i;j++)
{
System.out.print(a+"");

System.out.print(ch+" ");
}
System.out.printInO;

default: System.out.printIn("ERROR");
}// end of switch
}//end of main
}//end of class
Question 6.
Special words are those words which starts and ends with the same letter
Example:
EXISTENCE
COMIC
WINDOW
Palindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and vice versa
Example:
MALYALAM
MADAM
LEVEL
ROTATOR
CIVIC
All palindromes are special words but all words are not palindromes.
Write a program to accept a word check and print whether the word is a palindrome or only a special word
Answer:
import java.util.*;
class Main
{
public static void main(String [ ]args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.printIn("Enter a word:");
String str = sc.next();
String word ="";
for (int i = str.length()-1;i >=0;i--)
{
char ch = str.charAt(i);
word = word+ch;
}
if(word.equals(str))
System.out.printIn("Palindrome");
else
{
if(str.charAt(0)==str.charAt(str.length()-1))
System.out.printIn("special word");
}
}
}
Question 7.
Design a class to overload a function SumSeriesQ as follows:
(i) void SumSeries(int n, double x) – with one integer argument and one double argument to find and display the sum of the series given below:
s + \(\frac{x}{1}-\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{3}-\frac{x}{4}+\frac{x}{5}\) ……….. to n terms
(ii) void SumSeriesO – To find and display the sum of the following series:
s = 1+(1*2)+(1*2*3)+………..+(1*2*3*4* n)
Answer:
import java.util .*;
class lol
{
void sumseries(int n, double x)
{
double sum =0;
for(int i =1;i<=n;i++)
{
if(i % 2 == 0)
{
sum = sum -(x/i);
}
else
{
sum = sum + (x/i);
}
}
System.out.printIn("sum = "+sum);
}
void sumseries()
{
long sum = 0;
long product = 1;
for(int i = 1;i <=20;i++)
{
product = product * i;
sum+= product;
}
System.out.printIn("sum = "+sum);
}
}
Question 8.
Write a program to accept a number and check and display whether it is a Niven number or not. (Niven number is that number which is divisible by its sum of digits).
Example:
Consider the number 126.
Sum of its digits is 1+2+6 = 9 and 126 is divisible by 9.
Answer:
import java.util.*;
class lol
{
public static void main(String []args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner("System.in");
System.out.printIn("Enter a num:");
int a = sc.nextInt();
int al = a;
int sum =0;
while(a1!=0)
{
int k = a 1 % 10;
sum = sum+ k;
a1/= 10;
}
if(a%sum ==0)
System.out.printIn("Niven number");
else
System.out.printIn("Not Niven number");
}//end of main
}// end of class
