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

Question 3.

(a) Analyse the following program segment and determine how many times the
loop will be executed and what will be the output of the program segment?
int p = 200;
while(true)
{
if (p<100)

}
System.out.println(p); [2]
(b) What will be the output of the following code?

(h) What are library classes? Give an example. [2]
(i) Write one difference between Linear Search and Binary Search. [2]

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.

Question 4.

Define a class called mobike with the following description:

Instance variables/data members:
int bno – to store the bike’s number
int phno – to store the phone number of the customer
String name – to store the name of the customer
int days – to store the number of days the bike is taken on rent
int charge – to calculate and store the rental charge
Member methods:
void input( ) – to input and store the detail of the customer.
void computer( ) – to compute the rental charge.
The rent for a mobike is charged on the following basis:
First five days ` 500 per day.
Next five days ` 400 per day.
Rest of the days ` 200 per day.
void display( ) – to display the details in the following format:
Bike No. PhoneNo. Name No. of days Charge
---------- ------------ ------- -------------- --------- [15]

Question 5.

Write a program to input and sort the weight of ten people. Sort and display them
in descending order using the selection sort technique. [15]

Question 6.

Write a program to input a number and print whether the number is a special
number or not.
(A number is said to be a special number, if the sum of the factorial of the digits of
the number is same as the original number).
Example : 145 is a special number, because 1!+4!+5! = 1+24+120 = 145
(Where ! stands for factorial of the number and the factorial value of a number is
the product of all integers from 1 to that number, example 5!= 1*2*3*4*5=120). [15]

Question 7.

Write a program to accept a word and convert it into lowercase if it is in uppercase,

and display the new word by replacing only the words with the character
following it.
Example :
Sample Input : computer
Sample Output : cpmpvtfr [15]

Question 8.

Design a class to overload a function compare ( ) as follows:

(a) void compare(int, int) – to compare two integer values and print
the greater of the two integers.
(b) void compare (char, char) – to compare the numeric value of
two character with higher numeric value.
(c) void compare (String, String) – to compare the length of the two strings
and print the longer of the two. [15]

Question 9.

Write a menu driven program to perform the following: (Use switch – case statement)

(a) To print the series 0, 3, 7, 15, 24 …. n terms (value of ‘n’ is to be an input

by the user).

(b) To find the sum of the series given below:

S = 1/2 + 3/4 + 5/6 + 7/8 …….. 19/20. [15]
