a=a + b;
b=a – b;
a=a – b;
System.out.println (a+ “,” +b);
}
Answer:
(a) 14.
(b) byte, char, int, double.
(c) res =8
(d) Two types of constructor :

(ii) parameterized constructor.

The value of b will be 30.
Question 3:
(a) State the data type and value of y after the following is executed:
char x=7;
y-Character.isLetter(x); [2]
(b) What is the function of catch block in exception handling ? Where does it appear in a program ? [2]
(c) State the output when the following program segment is executed:
String a =“Smartphone”, b=“Graphic Art”;
String h=a.substring(2, 5);
String k=b.substring(8).toUpperCase();
System.out.println(h);
System.out.println(k.equalsIgnoreCase(h)); [2]
(d) The access specifier that gives the most accessibility is ………… and the least accessibility is ………… . [2]
(e) (i) Name the mathematical function which is used to find sine of an angle given in radians.
(ii) Name a string function which removes the blank spaces provided in the prefix and suffix of a string. [2]
(f) (i) What will this code print ?
int arr[]=new int[5];
System.out.println(arr);
(i) 0
(ii) value stored in arr[0]
(iii) 0000
(iv) garbage value
(ii) Name the keyword which is used- to resolve the conflict between method parameter and instance variables/fields. [2]
(g) State the package that contains the class :
(i) BufferedReader
(ii) Scanner [2]
(h) Write the output of the following program code: [2]
char ch ;
int x=97;
do
{
ch=(char) x;
System.out.print(ch + “ ” );
if(x%10 == 0)
break;
++x;
}while(x<=100);
(i) Write the Java expressions for \(\frac { { a }^{ 2 }+{ b }^{ 2 } }{ 2ab } \) [2]
(ii) If int y = 10 then find int z = (++y * (y++ +5)); [2]
Answer:
(a) y = false.
data type of y is boolean.
(b) Catch block is used as exception handler in exception handling. We can put the code to deal with the execution that might arise, in this block. Catch block must appear just below the tiy block.
(c) Output:
art
true.
(d) The access specifier that gives the most accessibility is public and the least accessibility is private.
(e) (i) Math.sin() (ii) trim ()
(f) (i) garbage value. (ii) ‘this’ keyword.
(g) (i) java.io package. (ii) java.util package.
(h) output: a b c d
(i) R = a*a + b*b/2*a*b;
(j) z = (11 * (11 + 5))
= 11 * 16
= 176
SECTION B (60 Marks)
Attempt any four questions from this Section.
The answers in this Section should consist of the Programs in either Blue J environment or any program environment with Java as the base.
Each program should be written using Variable descriptions /Mnemonic Codes so that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flow-Charts and Algorithms are not required.
Question 4:
Define a class named ParkingLot with the following description :
Instance variables/data members:
int vno — To store the vehicle number
int hours — To store the number of hours the vehicle is parked in the parking lot
double bill — Tb store the bill amount
Member methods:
void input( ) — To input and store the vno and hours.
void calculate( ) — To compute the parking charge at the rate of Rs.3 for the first hours or part thereof, and Rs. 1.50 for each additional hour or part thereof.

Answer:
Question 7:
Design a class to overload a function Joystring( ) as follows :
(i) void Joystring (String s, char ch1 char ch2) with one string argument and two character arguments that replaces the character argument ch1 with the character argument ch2 in the given string s and prints the new string.
Example:
Input value of s = “TECHNALAGY”
ch1=‘A’,
ch2=‘O’
Output: TECHNOLOGY
(ii) void Joystring (String s) with one string argument that prints the position of the first space and the last space of the given string s.
Example:
Input value of = “Cloud computing means Internet based computing”
Output: First index : 5
Last index : 36
(iii) void Joystring (String s1, String s2) with two string arguments that combines the two string with a space between them and prints the resultant string. Example :
Input value of s1 =“COMMON WEALTH”
Input value of s2 =“GAMES”
Output: COMMON WEALTH GAMES
(use library functions) [15]

Answer:
Question 9:
Using the switch statement, write a menu driven program to:
(i) To find and display all the factors of a number input by the user (including 1 and excluding number itself).
Example:
Sample Input: n=15
Sample Output: 1, 3, 5.
