Q. 1. (a) Name the four integer data types of Java. [2]

(b) What is a “ternary operator” of Java? [2]

(c) What is meant by “nesting of loops”? Give suitable example. [2]

(d) Differentiate between int and float data type. Give one example for each.  [2]

(e) What is Polymorphism? Give one example. [2]

Q. 2. (a) What is meant by “exit controlled loop”? Give one example. [2]

(b) Differentiate between constructor and finalizer with suitable examples for each.[2]

(c) What do you understand by the term “Escape Sequence”? Give two example with proper explanation. [2]

(d) Differentiate between data abstraction and data encapsulation. [4]

Q. 3. (a) Give the output of the following code snippets: [2 + 2 = 4]
          (i)       int f = 1, i = 2;
                          
                    do {
                           
                            f * = i;
                            i++;

                     }while ( i < 5 );

                     System.out.println ( f );

           (ii)     int a = 0, p;
                     for( int i = 0; i < 5; ++i ) {
                           a = a + p * i;
                           System.out.println( a );
                     }

(b) Find error(s), if any in the following code snippets: [2 + 2 = 4]
         (i) int i [][] = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}};
              i [1, 1] = 5;
           
         (ii) int b[] = new int [10];        
               for ( int i = 0; I <= b.length; ++i )
                      b[i] = 1;

(c) Create a multidimensional array in which each there are three rows & each row has different numbers of columns: 1st row has three columns, 2nd row has 2 columns and the last row has 4 columns. [2]

Q. 4. (a) Write the equivalent do-while loop for the following for loop: [2]

           for ( ; ; )
                {s; }  //s represents any statement

(b) Assume that i = 1, j = 2, k = 3, and m = 2. What does ach of the following statements print? [2]

1. System.out.println ( k + m < j | 3 – j >= k );
2. System.out.println ( ! ( k > m ));

(c) What would happen when the following is compiled and executed? [3 + 3 =  6]

(i) class Example {
                    int x, y;
                    String name;
                    public static void main ( string[] args) {
                             Example ex = new Example ();
                             System.out.println ( “ex is ’’ + ex.name + “ ” + ex.x + “ ’’ + ex.y);
                    }
                }

(ii) public class XYZ{
                  public static void main(String[ ]args) {
                       for ( int i = 0; i < 2; ++i ) {
                             for ( int j = 2; j >= 0; j-- ) {
                                     if ( i = = j )
                                                 break;
                                       System.out.println ( “i = ” + i + “j = ” + j );
                             }
                        }
                  }
            }

Q. 5. Write an application that inputs a line of text and output the text twice – once in all upper case and once in all lower case letters.

Q. 6. Create a class Rectangle that has attributes length & width each of which defaults to 1. It has methods that calculate the perimeter and the area of the rectangle. It has set and get methods for both length and width. The set and get methods should verify that length and width are each floating-point numbers larger than 0.0 and smaller than 20.0.

Q. 7. Create and populate one-dimensional integer array where duplicacy of elements is allowed. Using any searching algorithm you like, locate the search key (i.e. the element to be searched) a well as its number of occurrence in the array taking the search key as an input from the user.

Q. 8. Write an application that has a method integerPower (base, exponent) that returns the value of base exponent.

For example, integerPower (3, 4) calculates 34 (or 3 * 3 * 3 * 3). Assume that exponent is a positive, nonzero integer and that base is an integer. The method should use a for or while loop to control the calculation. Do not use any math-library methods.

Q. 9. Write an application that estimates the value of the mathematical constant e by using the formula:

e = 1 + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! + …..

Q. 10. Write a program that calculates the average marks of an arbitary number of students each time the program is run. Your program should ask the marks from user for arbitary number times. When the user finishes entering all the marks he/she will enter -1 to indicate the end of date entry. The program should then process all the data ntered and display the average.
