Question 1

What are the different ways to give input in a Java Program?

Answer

Java provides the following ways to give input in a program:

 1. Using Function Argument
2. Using InputStreamReader class
3. Using Scanner class
4. Using Command Line Arguments

Question 2

What is a package? Give an example.

Answer

In Java, a package is used to group related classes. Packages are of 2 types:

1. Built-In packages — These are provided by Java API

2. User-Defined packages — These are created by the programmers to efficiently structure their code.

For example, java.util, java.lang are built-in packages.

Question 3

What is the use of the keyword 'import' in Java programming?

Answer

'import' keyword is used to import built-in and user-defined packages into our Java programs.

Question 4

What is a Runtime error? Explain with an example.

Answer

Errors that occur during the execution of the program primarily due to the state of the program which can only be
resolved at runtime are called Runtime errors.
Consider the below example:

import java.util.Scanner;
class RunTimeError
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
int n = in.nextInt();
int result = 100 / n;
System.out.println("Result = " + result);
}
}
This program will work fine for all non-zero values of n entered by the user. When the user enters zero, a run-time
error will occur as the program is trying to perform an illegal mathematical operation of division by 0. When we are
compiling the program, we cannot say if division by 0 error will occur or not. It entirely depends on the state of the
program at run-time.

Question 5

What are the different types of errors that take place during the execution of a program? Name them.

Answer

Logical errors and Run-Time errors occur during the execution of the program.

Question 6
Give two differences between Syntax error and Logical error.

Answer

Syntax error Logical error

Syntax errors occur when we violate the rules of writing the Logical errors occur due to our mistakes in
statements of the programming language. programming logic.
