(i) A keyword used to call a package in the program

(ii) Any one reference data type

 (2)

(d) Evaluate the value of n if the value of p = 5, q = 19: [2]

int n = (q-p)>(p-q)? (q-p) : (p-q);

(e) What is a time delay loop? [2]

Question No 3

(a) Differentiate between formal parameter and actual parameter. [2]

(b) Write the Java expression for: [2]

2
m = 3 (a2 – b2)h

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

double x = 2.9, a = –99.51, y = 2.5;
System.out.println(Math.min(Math.floor(x),y));
System.out.println(Math.abs(Math.floor(a)));

(d) Give the output of the following method: [2]

public static void main(String[] args)

{ int a = 5;
a++;
System.out.println(a);
a – = (a– –) – (– –a);
System.out.println(a);
}

(e) Rewrite the following statements using ternary operators: [2]

if(amount >= 2000.0)

comm = amount * 0.4;
else
comm = amount * 0.2;

(f) Write the equivalent ‘do-while’ loop for the following program segment: [2]

int n = 40;
for( int y = 10; y>=2; y– –)
n++;

(g) Write the Java statement to create an object emp of class Organization. [2]
 (3)

(h) How many times will the following loop execute and what will be the final output? [2]

int k=1, i=2;

while(++i<6)
k* = i;
System.out.println(k);

(i) Give the prototype of a function search() which receives an integer in variable num
and a double value in variable cal and returns 1 or 0. [2]

(j) What will be the output of following program segment? [2]

int y = 5;
for (;y<=19; y+=2)
System.out.println(y);

SECTION B (60 MARKS)

Answer any four questions.

The answers in this section should consist of the program

in Blue J environment with Java as the base.
Each program should be written using Variable descriptions/Mnemonics Codes
such that the logic of the program is clearly depicted. Flow charts and
Algorithms are not required.

Question No 4

Design a class to overload a function area() as follows: [15]

(a) double area(double a, double b, double c) with three double arguments, returns the
area of a scalene triangle using the formula:

area = s ( s − a )( s − b )( s − c )

a+b+c
where s =
2

(b) double area(int a, int b, int height) with three integer arguments, returns the area of a
trapezium using the formula:

1
area = height ( a + b )
2
 (4)

(c) double area(double diagonal1, double diagonal2) with two double arguments, returns
the area of a rhombus using the formula:
1
area = height (diagonal1 × diagonal2)
2
Write a main() method to call the overloaded methods.

Question No 5

Write a menu-driven program to perform the following as per the user's choice: [15]

(a) Generate and display the first 10 terms of the Fibonacci series 0,1,1,2,3,5….The
first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of
the previous two.

(b) Find the sum of the digits of an integer that is input.

Sample Input: 15390

Sample Output: Sum of the digits = 18

For an incorrect choice, an appropriate error message should be displayed.

Question No 6

Design a class Student with the following specifications: [15]

Data members/instance variables:

String name,

int age,

double m1, double m2, double m3 (marks in 3 subjects),

double maximum,

double average

Member functions:

(i) void accept() : to accept the details of a student including name, age and
marks in 3 subjects
(ii) void compute() : to calculate the average and the maximum out of the 3 marks

(iii) void display() : to display the name, age, marks in 3 subjects, maximum and
average

Write a main method to create an object of the class Student and call the above member
methods.
 (5)

Question No 7

Write a menu-driven program to perform the following as per the user’s choice: [15]

(a) Find the sum of the following series:

a2 a3 a 4
s = a− + − + ..... upto n terms
2 3 4

(b) Find the sum of the following series:

s = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 11 + 16 + …. + n

For an incorrect choice, an appropriate error message should be displayed.

Question No 8 [15]

Write a program to input a number and check and print whether it is a Pronic number or
not. Pronic number is a number which is the product of two consecutive integers.

Examples: 12 = 3 × 4
20 = 4 × 5
42 = 6 × 7

Question No 9 [15]

Write a program to print the following pattern based on the number of terms input by the
user:

21

321

4321

54321

654321

7654321

In the above pattern number of terms input by the user is 7.
