BSCCS2005: Graded Assignment Questions with Solutions

Week {2}

{Write general instructions here}

1. What is the value of str2 at the end of execution of the following Java code? [MCQ:2points]

public class StringExample {

public static void main(String[] args) {
String str1, str2;
str1 = "welcome to IITM";
str2 = str1.substring(0, 11) + "java course" ;
}
}

java course
welcome to IITM java course
√
welcome to java course
Error in code

Solution: str1.substring(0, 11) gives “welcome to ”

+ is used for string concatenation
“welcome to ” + ”java course” results in “welcome to java course”

2. What is the output of the following Java code ? [MCQ:2points]

public class Print {

public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] a = {1, 2, 3};
int[] b = {1, 2, 3};
System.out.println(a == b);
}
}

a == b
√
false
true
{1, 2, 3} == {1, 2, 3}

Solution: It prints false. The “==” operator compares whether a and b are referring
to the same memory location.

3. Consider the Java program below. [MCQ:2 points]

class FClass{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i1 = 10, i2 = 29;
double d;
d = i2 / i1;
System.out.print(d + " ");
d = (double)(i2 / i1);
System.out.print(d + " ");
d = (double)i2 / i1;
System.out.print(d);
}
}

What will be the output?

2.9 2.9 2.9
2 2.9 2.9
√
2.0 2.0 2.9
2.0 2.0 2.0

Solution: In statement d = i2 / i1;, since i2 and i1 are int, it is an integer

division and assigns d with 2. Since d is a double, it is printed as 2.0.
In statement d = (double)(i2 / i1);, since i2 and i1 are int, it is an integer
division and the result get type-casted to double. Thus, d would be assigned to 2.0.
In statement d = (double)i2 / i1;, i2 which is of int type, type-casted to double.
Thus, the division becomes floating-point division and d would be assigned to 2.9.

4. Identify the correct definition(s) of a boolean variable named flag in Java from the
following. [MSQ:2 points]
boolean flag = 1;
√
boolean flag = true;
boolean flag = TRUE;
boolean flag = "false";

Solution: In Java a boolean variable can be assigned to either true or false.

5. Consider the Java program below. [MCQ:2 points]

class Point{
private int x;
private int y;
public Point(int x, int z) {
x = x;
y = z;
}
public void printPint() {
System.out.println("(" + x + ", " + y + ")");
}
}
class CClass{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Point p = new Point(10, 20);
p.printPint();
}
}

What will be the output/error?

(0, 0)
(10, 0)
√
(0, 20)
(<garbage-value>, <garbage-value>)
Compiler error: Invalid assignment in constructor

Solution: In the constructor public Point(int x, int z), for the statements:

x = x;
y = z;

Here the name of function parameter and data member is same for x so inside the
constructor x refers to the local function parameter and not the object’s data member.
Such is not the case with the other parameter z and hence the initialization for y
works in usual manner.

6. Consider the Java program below. [MCQ:2 points]
import java.util.*;
class Example{
public static int doSomething(int num) {
int n = num;
int total = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
if (n % i == 0) {
total = total + i;
}
}
return total;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
int number = sc.nextInt();
int x = doSomething(number);
}
}
What will x represent?
Number of multiples of number
Sum of multiples of number
Number of factors of number
√
Sum of factors of number
Compiler Error

Solution:

• Program execution begins from main() function.

• In main function, user inputs number.
• doSomething() method is called by passing number
• In doSomething() value of number is assigned to n, i is initialized to 1 and is
incremented in each iteration till i = n
• i is added to total, if i divides n without any reminder. That means i must
be factor of n.
• Hence, total represents sum of factors of n.
• doSomething() returns total and is stored in x

7. Consider the Java code given below. [ MCQ : 2 points]

class WhileEx2
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i=0;
while(i>0)
{
System.out.println(i);
}
do
{
System.out.println(i);
}while(i>0);
}
}

Choose the correct option regarding the given code.

Generates no output but program compiles successfully.
Generates a compilation error
Generates output :
0
0
√
Generates output : 0

Solution: In while loop, the body of the loop executes when condition is true,
whereas in do-while loop, first time the loop-body always executes once and at the
end of the loop condition would be checked.
In above code, while loop prints nothing since the condition is failed at the first
time, but do-while prints 0 as the condition is checked at the end of the loop.

8. Consider the Java code given below. [ MCQ : 2 points]

class Sample
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
System.out.println(10+20+"IIT Madras");
System.out.println("IIT Madras"+10+20);
}
}

What will be the output/error?

Compilation fails due to System.out.println(10+20+"IIT Madras");
Compilation fails due to System.out.println("IIT Madras"+10+20);
√
30IIT Madras
IIT Madras1020
Exception at run time.

Solution: System.out.println(10+20+"IIT Madras");

Here both 10 and 20 are integers 10+20 will generate 30, now 30 integer and a string
IIT Madras both are concatenated and it generates 30IIT Madras as output.
System.out.println("IIT Madras"+10+20)
Here a string IIT Madras is concatenated with an integer 10 and it generates a string
IIT Madras10, now a string IIT Madras10 and an integer 20 are concatenated and
it generates string IIT Madras1020 as output.

9. Match the following. [MCQ:2 points]

A. System I. Prints arguments in a new line.

B out II. Public class.
C. println() III. Stream object.
D. braces {...} IV. Delimits blocks and statement.

A-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I

A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
√
A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
A-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III

Solution:
System: A Java program is a collection of classes. System is a public class in Java.
out: It is a stream object defined in the System class.
println(): Prints arguments in new line like python print()
braces {...} : Delimits blocks and statement. This is similar to the indentation in
Python programming.

10. How is it possible to run the main method in Java without creating an object? [MCQ:2
Points]
Java is an object oriented programming language. Thus we need to create
an object of the main class, and call our main() method to run. Hence the
question is fallacious.
√
The modifier static helps the main() method to run independently
without creating an object.
The access modifier public helps the main() method to run independently
without creating an object.
The main() method is an exception. It is the only method that exist indepen-
dently without the dynamic creation of an object.

Solution:
The main() method in java is declared static. Static methods are the methods in
Java that can be called without creating an object of class.

11. Consider the Java code given below. [MCQ:2 points]

class FClass
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int arr[] = {0 , 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
int n = 9;
n = arr[arr[n] / 2];
System.out.println(arr[n] / 3);
}
}

Choose the correct option regarding the given code.

The program generates output:
0
√
The program generates output:
1
The program generates output:
1.3333
The program generates a compilation error.

Solution:
We have int n=9;
arr[arr[9]/2] = arr[9/2] = arr[4] = 4.
Hence, arr[4]/3 = 4/3 = 1.

Page 12
12. Consider the Java code given below. [MCQ:2 points]
(a) public class FClass
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int x; x = 1;
if(x) { System.out.println(x); }
else { System.out.println("2"); }
}
}
Choose the correct option regarding the given code.
The program generates output:
0
The program generates output:
1
The program generates output:
2
√
This program will generate an error.
(b) public class FClass
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int x=1;
if(false) { System.out.println(x); }
else { System.out.println("True"); }
}
}
√
The program generates output:
True
The program generates output:
False
The program generates output:
1
This program will generate an error.

Solution:
(a) if is a conditional statement. It accepts boolean as a parameter. Here x is an
integer so this program will yield an error.
(b) If the condition is false, then the else block gets executed.

Page 13
13. Consider the Java code given below..
[MCQ:2 points]

public class FClass

{
public static void main(String args[])
{
switch(2)
{
case 1:
System.out.println("One");
case 2:
System.out.println("Two");
case 3:
System.out.println("Three");
default:
System.out.println("Default");
break;
}
}
}

What will be the output?

One
Two
Default
Three
√
None of them

Solution: The output of the above program is:

Two
Three
Default

Because in between cases there is no break statement.

Page 14
14. Match the following. [MCQ:2 points]

A. Multiple constructors I. constructor with empty arguments

B Default constructor II. Refers to the current class object
C. Copy constructors III.Create a new object from an existing one
D. this IV. Overloading
√
A-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
A-III, B-I, C-I, D-II
A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II

Solution:
Multiple constructors — Constructor overloading
Default constructor- If no constructor is defined, compiler creates its own. They do
no have any arguments
Copy constructor — make a copy of an existing object
this — refers to the current class object

Page 15
15. Considering the following Java code, choose the correct statement from among the given
options regarding this code.

[MCQ:2points]

class Employee
{
int eid;
String ename;

public void display()

{
System.out.println("eid: "+eid);
System.out.println("ename: "+ename);
}
}

class FClass
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Employee e1 = new Employee();
e1.display();
}
}

The code results in a compilation error as constructor is not defined.

Program runs successfully, and the data members eid and ename contains
random garbage value.
√
Program runs successfully, and the data members eid and ename
contains 0 and null respectively.
None of the above options are correct.

Solution:
If no constructor is defined in a class the default constructor would be executed when
an object is created. In JAVA uninitialized variables have values 0 for numeric types
and null for string types.
