Two Hours

Answers to this Paper must be written on the paper provided separately.

You will not be allowed to write during the first 15 minutes.
This time is to be spent in reading the Question Paper.
The time given at the head of the Paper is the time allowed for writing the answers.
This paper is divided into two Sections.
Attempt all questions from Section A and any four questions from Section B.
The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in bracket [ ]

SECTION A (40 Marks)

Question 1.

(a) What is the difference between an object and a class? [2]

Ans. 1. A class is a blueprint or a prototy pe of a real world object. It contains instance v ariables and methods whereas an object is an
instance of a class.
2. A class exists in the memory of a computer while an object does not.
3. There will be only one copy of a class whereas multiple objects can be instantiated from the same class.

(b) What does the token keyword refer to in the context of Java? Give an example for keyword. [2]
Ans. Key words are reserv ed words which conv ey special meanings to the compiler and cannot be used as identifiers. Example of
key words : class, public, v oid, int

(c) State the difference between entry controlled loop and exit controlled loop. [2]
Ans. In an entry controlled loop, the loop condition is checked before executing the body of the loop. While loop and for loop are the
entry controlled loops in Jav a.
In exit controlled loops, the loop condition is checked after executing the body of the loop. do-while loop is the exit controlled loop in
Jav a.

(d) What are the two ways of invoking functions? [2]

Ans. If the function is static, it can be inv oked by using the class name. If the function is non-static, an object of that class should be
created and the function should be inv oked using that object.

(e) What is difference between / and % operator? [2]

Ans. / is the div ision operator whereas % is the modulo (remainder) operator. a / b giv es the result obtained on div ing a by b whereas a
% b giv es the remainder obtained on div ing a by b.

Question 2.

(a) State the total size in bytes, of the arrays a [4] of char data type and p [4] of float data type. [2]
Ans. char is two by tes. So a[4] will be 2*4=8 by tes.
float is 4 by tes. So p[4] will be 4*4=16 by tes.

(b) (i) Name the package that contains Scanner class.

(ii) Which unit of the class gets called, when the object of the class is created? [2]
Ans. (i) jav a.util
(ii) Constructor

(c) Give the output of the following: [2]

1 String n = Computer Knowledge;

2 String m = Computer Applications;
3 System.out.println(n.substring (0,8). concat (m.substring(9)));
4 System.out.println(n.endsWith(e));

Ans. n.substring(0,8) giv es Computer. m.substring(9) giv es Applications. These two on concatenation giv es ComputerApplications.
n ends with e. So, it giv es true.
The output is:

1 ComputerApplications
2 true

(d) Write the output of the following: [2]

(i) System.out.println (Character.isUpperCase(R));
(ii) System.out.println(Character.toUpperCase(j));
Ans. (i) true
(ii) J

(e) What is the role of keyword void in declaring functions? [2]

Ans. v oid indicates that the function doesnt return any v alue.

Question 3
1
Like how many times the loop will be executed and what will be the
(a) Analyse the following program segment and determine
output of the program segment ? [2]

1 int p = 200;
2 while(true)
3 {
4 if (p<100)
5 break;
6 p=p-20;
7 }
8 System.out.println(p);

Ans.p v alues changes as follows : 200, 180, 160, 140, 120, 100, 80. So, the loop executes six times and v alue of p is 80.

(b) What will be the output of the following code? [2]

(i)

1 int k = 5, j = 9;
2 k += k++ ++j + k;
3 System.out.println("k= " +k);
4 System.out.println("j= " +j);

Ans.

1 k = 6
2 j = 10

Explanation:
k += k++ ++j + k

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
k = k + k++ ++j + k
k = 5 + 5 10 + 6
k=6
j = 10 as it has been incremented in the ++j operation.

(ii) [2]

1 double b = -15.6;
2 double a = Math.rint (Math.abs (b));
3 System.out.println("a= " +a);

Ans.

1 a =16.0

Maths.abs(-15.6) will giv e 15.6 and Math.rint(15.6) giv es 16.0.

(c) Explain the concept of constructor overloading with an example . [2]

Ans. A class can hav e more than one constructor prov ided that the signatures differ. This is known as constructor ov erloading.
Example:

1 class Age {
2
3 int age;
4
5 public Age() {
6 age = -1;
7 }
8
9 public Age(int age) {
10 this.age = age;
11 }
12 }

(d) Give the prototype of a function search which receives a sentence sentnc and a word wrd and returns 1 or 0 ? [2]
Ans.

1 public boolean function ( sentence sentnc, word wrd )

or

1 public int function ( sentence sentnc, word wrd )

(e) Write an expression in Jav a for z = (53 + 2y ) / ( x + y ) [2]

Ans.

1 z = ( 5 * Math.pow ( x, 3 ) + 2 * y ) / ( x + y )

(f) Write a statement each to perform the following task on a string: [2]
(i) Find and display the position of the last space in a string s.
(ii) Convert a number stored in a string variable x to double data type
Ans. (i) Sy stem.out.println(s.lastIndexOf( );
(ii) Double.parseDouble(x)

(g) Name the keyword that: [2]

(i) informs that an error has occurred in an input/output operation.
(ii) distinguishes between instance variable and class variables.
Ans. (i) throw
(ii) static

(h) What are library classes ? Give an example. [2]

Ans. Library classes are the predefined classes which are a part of jav a API. Ex: String, Scanner

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
(i) Write one difference between Linear Search and Binary Search . [2]
Ans. Linear search can be used with both sorted and unsorted array s. Binary search can be used only with sorted array s.

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 such that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flow-Charts and Algorithms are not required.

The series is 0, 3, 8, 15, 24. We hav e incorrectly mentioned it as 0, 3, 7, 15, 24. The error has been corrected and the solution has also
been updated.

Sir,in Q3 a) once p is ev aluated to 100 then wont the condition(p<100)turn false?how is p again deducted to 80?I am not
understanding..kindly help

Reply

ICSE Java Post author

March 13, 2014 at 1:49 pm

while(true){
if (p<100)
break;
p=p-20;
}

Consider the iteration when p is 120. p < 100 i.e. 120 < 100 is false, so break will not be excuted. The statement p = p - 20 will make p
100.

When p becomes 100, the condition p <100 is false. ( 100 is not less than 100. 100 is equal to 100 ) . As the 'if' condition is false, the
break statement won't be executed. The statement p = p - 20 will be executed which will reduce p to 80.

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
Now, p < 100 i.e. 80 < 100 is true. So, the break statement will be executed and control will come out of the loop.

sentence and word are class ty pes as per the question.

The question say s

receiv es a sentence sentnc
According to the question, sentence is a class ty pe and the v ariable accepted by the method is sentence of ty pe sentnc.
