ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications Sample Question Paper 1 with Answers
Section – A [40 Marks]
Attempt all questions
Question 1
(a) Name any four tokens of Java. [2]
(b) Give the difference between actual parameter and formal parameter. [2]
(c) What is an identifier? [2]
(d) Write an expression in Java for sin x + √a2+ b3. [2]
(e) What is the result produced by 2 – 10*3 + 100/11 ? Show the steps. [2]
Answer:
(a) Integer, boolean, double and character.
(b) Formal parameters are used in the function definition and Actual parameters are used when function is being called.
E.g. void sum(int a, int b) // a and b are formal parameters
{
System.out.println(a+b);
}
Public static void main( )
{
Sum(2,4); // 2,4 are actual parameters.
}
(c) Identifiers are names of the variables, strings, classes and packages. Its values can change throughout the program.
(d) sin(x) + Math.sqrt(a*a + b*b*b);
(e) Step 1:2- 10*3 + 9
Step 2:3 – 30 + 9
Step 3: 3 – 21
Step 4: – 19
Question 2
(a) What is the difference between local variable and instance variable? [2]
(b) intx = 20, y = 10, z;
What is the value of z
in z = ++x * (y – – y ?
Show the steps. [2]
(c) What is the purpose of default in a switch? [2]
(d) Give the difference between linear search and binary search. [2]
(e) What will be the output of the following code?
float x = 7.87;
System.out.println(Math.ceil(x));
System.out.println(Math.floor(x)); [2]
Answer:
(a)
| Local Variable | Instance Variable |
| Its scope remains inside a function or the block. | Its scope remains throughout the methods of the class. |
| Multiple copies of this variable are used throughout the program. | Every object has separate copies of this variable. |
(b) int x =20, y = 10, z;
z = ++x * (y – – y )- y?
Step 1:21 * 10 – 9
Step 2: 210 – 9
Step 3: 201
(c) Default in the switch statement means when no matching case is encountered by the controller it executes the default case.
(d)
| Linear Search | Binary Search |
| It compares each element of the array with rest of the elements in the array. | It’s based on divide and conquer rule. Array is sorted in this search. Element is searched only in the selected halves. |
e. 8.0
7.0
Question 3.
(a) State the difference between if-else if ladder and switch…case. [2]
Answer:
| If-else Ladder | Switch Case |
| Works on more than one variable | It works on only one variable or constant |
| It can hold many conditions | It can hold only one condition. |
(b) Explain the concept of constructor overloading with an example. [2]
Answer:
Function name same as that of class name without return type is called Constructor. Constructor overloading is when same name constructor is used with different arguments list is called constructor overloading.
Example:
Class lol
{
lol ( )
{
//write something ...
}
lol(int a)
{
//write something
}
lol(int a, int b)
{
//write something
}
(c) What will be the output of the following program segments?
(i) String s = “application”;
int p = s.indexOf(‘a’);
System.out.println(p);
System.out.println(p+s); [2]
(ii) String st = “PROGRAM”;
System.out.println(st.indexOf(st.charAt(4))); [2]
(iii) int a = 0;
if(a>0 && a<20)
d++;
else a-;
System.out.println(a); [2]
(iv) int a- 5, b = 2,c;
if (a>b || a ! = b)
c = ++a+-b;
System.out.print(c+ ” “+a+” “+b); [2]
(v) int i = 1;
while(i++<=1)
{
i++;
System.out.print(i + “”);
}
System.out.print(i); [2]
Answer:
(i) Oapplication
(ii) 1
(iii) -1
(iv) 76 1
(v) 34
(d) Differentiate between isUpperCase(char) and toUpperCase(char). [2]
Answer:
| isUpperCase( ) | toUpperCase( ) |
| It checks whether the character is uppercase or not. | It changes the character into uppercase |
| Return value is boolean. | Return value is String |
(e) What is the difference between a constructor function and a member function of a class? [2]
Answer:
| Constructor Function | Member Function |
| 1. Automatically called during the creation of the object. 2. It bears the same name as that of class. |
1. Class object needs to explicitly call the member functions. 2. It doesn’t have same name. |
(f) What is the difference between a static member function and a member function which is not static? [2]
Answer:
| Static Member Function | Non Static Member Function |
| 1. It has the keyword static before the function name. 2. It can be called by static member functions only. |
1. It doesn’t have static keyword before the function name. 2. It can be called by any function. |

Question 5
Write a menu driven program to find the sum of the following series depending on the user choosing 1 or 2
1. S=1/4+1/8+1/12………….. up to n terms
2. S=1/1!-2/2!+3/3!………….. upto n terms
where ! stands for factorial of the number and the factorial value of a number is the product of all integers from 1 to that number, e.g. 5! = 1* 2* 3* 4* 5.
