Answer all questions from this Section
SECTION A (40 MARKS)

Attempt all questions
Question 1:
(a) Define abstraction. [2]
Ans. Abstraction refers to specifying the behaviour of a class without going into the details of the
implementation.
(b) Differentiate between searching and sorting. [2]

Ans. In searching, we are provided with an array which contains multiple elements and asked to find the index
of a specific element.
In sorting, an array is provided and we are asked to order the elements in either ascending or descending order.
(c) Write a difference between the functions isUpperCase() and toUpperCase(). [2]
Ans. Both isUpperCase() and toUpperCase() are functions of the Character class.
isUpperCase() accepts a character and returns true if the provided character is uppercase. Else, it returns false.
Ex:
1 boolean b1 = Character.isUpperCase('a');
2 boolean b2 = Character.isUpperCase('A');
3 System.out.println(b1 + " " + b2);
will print
1 false true
(d) How are private members of a class different from public members? [2]
Ans. Private members of a class can be accessed only by the methods of the class in which they are declared.
While public members can be accessed outside of the class also.
(e) Classify the following as primitive or non-primitive data types: [2]

(i) char
(ii) arrays
(iii) int
(iv) classes
Ans. (i) char – Primitive
(ii) arrays – Non primitive
(iii) int – Primitive
(iv) Classes – Non proimitive
Question 2
(a) (i) int res = ‘A’;
What is the value of res?
(ii) Name the package that contains wrapper classes. [2]
Ans. (i) res will hold the ASCII value of ‘A’ which is 65.
(ii) java.lang package contains wrapper classes.
(b) State the difference between while and do-while loop. [2]
Ans. A while is an entry controlled loop i.e. the loop condition is checked before the loop is executed while
do-while is an exit controlled loop i.e. the loop condition is checked after the loop is executed.
Because of this a do-while loop gets executed atleast once which is not true for a while loop.
(c) System.out.print(“BEST “);

System.out.println(“OF LUCK”);
Choose the correct option for the output of the above statements: [2]
(i) BEST OF LUCK
(ii) BEST
OF LUCK
Ans. (i) is the correct output.
System.out.print() does not add a new line at the end because of which ‘OF LUCK’ gets printed on the same
line as ‘BEST’.
(d) Write the prototype of a function check which takes an integer as an argument and returns a
character. [2]
Ans.
1 char function(int a)
(e) Write the return data type of the following functions: [2]
(i) endsWith()
(ii) log()
Ans. i) boolean
ii) double
Question 3
(a) Write a Java expression for the following: [2]
√(3x + x2) / (a + b)
Ans. Math.sqrt(3 * x + Math.pow(x, 2)) / (a + b)
(b) What is the value of y after evaluating the expression given below? [2]
y += ++y + y– + –y; when int y = 8.
Ans.
y += ++y + y– + –y
y = 8 + ++y + y– + –y
y=8+9+9+7
y = 33
(c) Give the output of the following: [2]

(i) Math.floor(-4.7)
(ii) Math.ceil(3.4) + Math.pow(2, 3)
Ans. i) -5.0
ii) 4.0 + 8.0 = 12.0
(d) Write two characteristics of a constructor. [2]
Ans. i) A constructor has the same name as that of the class
ii) A constructor does not have a return type
(e) Write the output for the following: [2]

System.out.println(“Incredible” + “\n” + “world”);
Ans.
1 Incredible
2 world
(f) Convert the following if else if construct into switch case: [2]
1 if(var == 1)
2 System.out.println("good");
3 else if(var == 2)
4 System.out.println("better");
5 else if(var == 3)
6 System.out.println("best");
7 else
8 System.out.println("invalid");
Ans.
1 switch(var) {
2 case 1:
3 System.out.println("good");
4 break;
5 case 2:
6 System.out.println("better");
7 break;
8 case 3:
9 System.out.println("best");
10 break;
11 default:
12 System.out.println("invalid");
13 }
(g) Give the output of the following string functions: [2]

(i) “ACHIEVEMENT”.replace(‘E’, ‘A’)
(ii) “DEDICATE”.compareTo(“DEVOTE”)
Ans. i) ACHIAVEMANT
ii) The first two characters are same. So, we take the ASCII values of the third characters and subtract to get
the result.
D – V = 68 – 86 = 18
(h) Consider the following String array and give the output: [2]
1 String arr[] = {"DELHI", "CHENNAI", "MUMBAI", "LUCKNOW", "JAIPUR"};

2 System.out.println(arr[0].length() > arr[3].length());
3 System.out.print(arr[4].substring(0, 3));
Ans.
System.out.println(arr[0].length() > arr[3].length());
arr[0].length() > arr[3].length()
“DELHI”.length() > “LUCKNOW”.length()
5>7
false
Output is false
System.out.print(arr[4].substring(0, 3));
JAIPUR.substring(0, 3)
JAI
Output is JAI
(i) Rewrite the following using ternary operator: [2]
1 if(bill > 10000)

2 discount = bill * 10.0 / 100;
3 else
4 discount = bill * 5.0 / 100;
Ans.
1 discount = bill > 10000 ? (bill * 10.0 / 100) : (bill * 5.0 / 100);
(j) Give the output of the following program segment and also mention how many times the loop is
executed: [2]
1 int i;
2 for(i = 5; i > 10; i++)
3 System.out.println(i);
4 System.out.println(i * 4);
Ans.
Loop condition i > 10 evaluates to 5 > 10 which is false. So, loop is not executed even once
System.out.println(i * 4) prints 5 * 4 = 20

3{
4 if(a%b==0)
5 break;
6}
7 System.out.println(a);
Ans.
Loop initialization: a = 6, b = 4
First iteration:
Condition check: a <= 24 --- 6 <= 24 ---- true
Loop is executed for the first time
Loop execution: a % b = 6 % 4 = 2 != 0 Hence, break is not executed
Loop increment operator: a = 1 + 6 --- a = 6 + 6 = 12
Second iteration:
Condition check: a <= 24 --- 12 <= 24 ---- true
Loop is executed for the second time
Loop execution: a % b = 12 % 4 = 0 = 0 Hence, break is executed
System.out.println(a); --- 12

2 d = d * 2;
3 System.out.println(d);
4}
e) Differentiate between constructor and function. [2]

Ans. The constructor of a class is invoked automatically during object creation while a function is invoked
manually after object creation.
A constructor is invoked only once while a function can be invoked multiple times.
A constructor has the same name as the class in which it is defined while a function can have any name.

Class X

Question 1.
(a) Define Encapsulation. [2]

Ans. Encapsulation is the process of bundling state (instance variables) and behaviour
(methods) is a single unit (class).
(b) What are keywords? Give an example. [2]

Ans. Keywords are reserved words which convey special meaning to the compiler. They
cannot be used as identifiers. Ex: class, void
(c) Name any two library packages. [2]

Ans. java.util, java.io
(d) Name the type of error (syntax, runtime or logical error) in each case given below:
[2]
(i) Math.sqrt (36-45)
(ii) int a;b;c;
Ans. (i) Runtime error
Math.sqrt(36-45) = Math.sqrt(-9) which cannot be computed as square root of a negative
number is not defined. Therefor, a runtime error will be thrown.
(ii) Syntax error
Multiple variables can be defined in one of the following ways
int a, b, c;
int a; int b; int c;
(e) If int x[] = { 4, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10 }; what are the values of p and q? [2]

(i) p = x.length
(ii) q = x[2] + x[5] * x[1]
Ans. (i) 6
(ii) q = x[2] + x[5] * x[1]
= 7 + 10 * 3
= 7 * 30
= 37
Question 2.
(a) State the difference between == operator and equals() method. [2]
Ans. == compares if the two objects being compared refer to the instance while equals()
method which can be overridden by classes generally compares if the contents of the
objects are equals.
(b) What are the types of casting shown by the following examples: [2]
(i) char c = (char)120;
(ii) int x = ‘t’;
Ans. (i) Explicit casting
(ii) Implicit casting
(c) Differentiate between formal parameter and actual parameter. [2]

Ans. Format parameters are the parameters defined in the signature of a method. Actual
parameters are the values passed to the methods on function invocation.
Ex: Consider the following code snippet
1 public int add(int a, int b) {

2 return a + b;
3}
4
5 // Method invocation
6 int result = add(3, 4)
a and b are formal parameters while 3 and 4 are actual parameters.
(d) Write a function prototype of the following: [2]

A function PosChar which takes a string argument and a character argument and
returns an integer value.
Ans.
1 public int PosChar(String s, char c)
(e) Name any two types of access specifiers. [2]

Ans. public, private, protected and default/package access specifiers
Question 3.
(a) Give the output of the following string functions : [2]

(i) “MISSISSIPPI”.indexOf(‘S’) + “MISSISSIPPI”.lastIndexOf(‘I’)
(ii) “CABLE”.compareTo(“CADET”)
Ans.
(i) “MISSISSIPPI”.indexOf(‘S’) + “MISSISSIPPI”.lastIndexOf(‘I’)
= 2 + 10
= 12
(ii) String’s compareTo method compares ASCII values of characters starting from the left.
“CABLE”.compareTo(“CADET”)
The first and seconds characters are the same in both the strings. So, we compare the third
characters.
Compare B and D = ASCII value of B – ASCII value of D
= 66 – 68
= -2
(b) Give the output of the following Math functions: [2]

(i) Math.ceil(4.2)
(ii) Math.abs(-4)
Ans. (i) 5.0 (and not 5, as ceil() returns a double)
(ii) 4
(c) What is a parameterized constructor? [2]

Ans. A parameterized constructor is a constructor that accepts arguments which are used
to initialize the object being created.
(d) Write down java expression for : [2]

T = square root (A2 + B2 + C2)
Ans.
1 double T = Math.sqrt(Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2) + Math.pow(c, 2));
(e) Rewrite the following using ternary operator : [2]
1 if(x%2 == 0)
2 System.out.print("EVEN");
3 else
4 System.out.print("ODD");
Ans.
1 System.out.print(x % 2 == 0 ? "EVEN" : "ODD");
(f) Convert the following while loop to the corresponding for loop : [2]
1 int m = 5, n = 10;
2 while (n>=1)
3{
4 System.out.println(m*n);
5 n–-;
6}
Ans.
1 for(int m=5, n=10; n >=1; n--) {

2 System.out.println(m*n);
3}
(g) Write one difference between primitive data types and composite data types. [2]
Ans. A primitive data type is not composed of other data types. Ex: int, float, double while
a composite data type is composed of other data types. Ex: class
(h) Analyze the given program segment and answer the following questions : [2]
(i) Write the output of the program segment
(ii) How many times does the body of the loop gets executed?
1 for(int m=5; m<=20; m+=5)

2{
3 if(m%3 == 0)
4 break;
5 else
6 if(m%5 == 0)
7 System.out.println(m);
8 continue;
9}
Ans.
For loop initialization: m = 5
Loop condition check: m <= 20 = 5 <=20 = true
Loop execution for first time
m%3 == 0
= 5 % 3 == 0
= 2 == 0
= false
else is executed
m%5 == 0
= 5 % 5 == 0
= 0 == 0
= true
5 is printed
Loop increment statement is executed: m+=5 = m = m + 5 = 5 + 5 = 10
Loop body is executed second time and 10 is printed
Loop increment statement is executed: m+=5 = m = m + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15
Loop body is executed third time
m%3 == 0
= 15 % 3 == 0
= 0 == 0
= true
break statement is executed and loop terminates
(i) 5
10
(ii) 3 times
(i) Give the output of the following expression : [2]

a+=a++ + ++a + -–a + a-– ; when a = 7
Ans.
a+=a++ + ++a + –-a + a–- ;
a = 7 + (a++ + ++a + -–a + a–-);
a = 7 + (7 + 9 + 8 + 8);
a = 39
(j) Write the return type of the following library functions : [2]
(i) isLetterOrDigit(char)
(ii) replace(char,char)
Ans. (i) boolean
(ii) String

(e) (i) Name the mathematical function which is used to find sine of an angle given in
radians
(ii) Name a string function which removes the blank spaces provided in the prefix and
suffix of a string [2]
Ans. (i) Math.sin()
(ii) trim()
(f) (i)What will the code print? [2]
1 int arr[] = new int [5];

2 System.out.println(arr);
(i) 0 (ii) value stored in arr[0] (iii) 0000 (iv) garbage value
Ans. (iv)garbage value – A random string will be printed. arr is an object. When an object is
printed, the .toString() method is invoked which gives the hashcode of the object which will
be a random value.
(ii) Name the keyword which is used to resolve the conflict between method
parameter and instance variables/fields
Ans. this keyword
Example
1 public class Main {

2
3 private int a = 10;
4
5 public void test(int a) {
6 System.out.println(a); // Will print the value passed to test() method
7 System.out.println(this.a); // Will print 10
8 }
9
10 }
(g) State the package that contains the class : [2]

(i) BufferedReader
(ii) Scanner
Ans. (i) java.io
(ii) java.util
(h) Write the output of the following code segment: [2]
1 char ch;
2 int x = 97;
3 do {
4 ch = (char) x;
5 System.out.print(ch + " ");
6 if (x % 10 == 0)
7 break;
8 ++x;
9 } while (x <= 100);
Ans. The do-while loop runs for values of x from 97 to 100 and prints the corresponding
char values.
97 is the ASCII value for a, 98 is the ASCII value for 99…
So, the output will be
abcd
(i) Write the Java expression for: a2+b2 /2ab [2]

Ans. (Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2)) / (2 * a * b)
(j) If int y = 10 then find int z = (++y * (y++ + 5)); [2]

Ans. Increment operator has the highest precedence. So, ++y and y++ will be evaluated
starting from left.
In ++y, the value of y will be incremented to 11 and then 11 will be used in the expression.
When y++ is evaluated, the current value of y i.e. 11 will be used and then y will be
incremented from 11 to 12.
int z = (++y * (y++ + 5));

= 11 * (11 + 5 )
= 11 * 16
= 176

Question 1.
(a) Which of the following are valid comments? [2]

(i) /* comment */
(ii) /*comment
(iii) //comment
(iv) */ comment */
Ans. (i) and (iii) are valid comments. (i) is a multi line comment and (iii) is a single line
comment.
(b) What is meant by a package? Name any two Java Application Programming
Interface packages. [2]
Ans. Related classes are grouped together as a package. A package provides namespace
management and access protection.
Some of the Java API packages – java.lang, java,util and java,io
(c) Name the primitive data type in Java that is:

(i) a 64-bit integer and is used when you need a range of values wider than those
provided by int.
(ii) a single 16-bit Unicode character whose default value is ‘\u0000′ [2]
Ans. (i) long
(ii) char
(d) State one difference between floating point literals float and double. [2]
Ans. (i) Float requires 4 bytes of storage while double requires 8 bytes.
(ii) Float is of single precision while double is of double precision.
(e) Find the errors in the given program segment and re-write the statements correctly
to assign values to an integer array. [2]
1 int a = new int( 5 );

2 for( int i=0; i<=5; i++ ) a[i]=i;
Ans. The corrected program segment is
1 int a = new int[5];

2 for( int i=0; i<=4; i++ ) a[i]=i;
Error 1: The size of an array is specified using square brackets [] and not parentheses ().
Error 2: Since the array is of length 5, the indices range from 0 to 4. The loop variable i is
used as an index to the array and in the given program segment, it takes values from 0 to
5. a[4] would result in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. Therefore, the loop condition
should be changed to i<=4. The given program segment creates an array of size 5 and
stores numbers from 0 to 4 in the array.
Question 2.
(a) Operators with higher precedence are evaluated before operators with relatively
lower precedence. Arrange the operators given below in order of higher precedence to
lower precedence. [2] (i) && (ii) % (iii) >= (iv) ++
Ans. ++ , % , >= , &&
(b) Identify the statements listed below as assignment, increment, method invocation
or object creation statements. [2]
(i) System.out.println(“Java”);
(ii) costPrice = 457.50;
(iii) Car hybrid = new Car();
(iv) petrolPrice++;
Ans. (i) Method Invocation – println() is a method of System.out.
(ii) Assignment – The value 457.70 is being assigned to the variable costPrice.
(iii) Object Creation – An object of type Car is created and stored in the variable hybrid.
(iv) Increment – The variable petrolPrice is incremented.
(c) Give two differences between switch statement and if-else statement. [2]
Ans. (i) Switch statement can be used to test only for equality of a particular variable with a
given set of values while an if-else statement can be used for testing arbitrary boolean
expressions.
(ii) If else can handle only primitive types and String while if-else can handle all data types.
(d) What is an infinite loop? Write an infinite loop statement. [2]

Ans. An infinite loop is a loop whose body executes continuously.
Infinite Loop using while:
1 while(true) {
2}
Infinite Loop using for
1 for( ; ;){
2}
Infinite loop using do-while
1 do {
2 } while(true);
(e) What is a constructor? When is it invoked? [2]
Ans. A constructor is a member function of a class used to perform initialization of the
object. It is invoked during object creation.
Question 3.
(a) List the variables from those given below that are composite data types. [2]
(i) static int x;
(ii) arr[i] = 10;
(iii) obj.display();
(iv) boolean b;
(v) private char chr;
(vi) String str;
Ans. The primitive data types in Java are byte, short, int, long, float, double, boolean and
char. All other data types – arrays, objects and interfaces – are composite data types.
(i) x is of a primitive data type
(ii) arr is variable of a composite data type of type int. i can be a variable of a primitive data
type (byte, short or int) or of a composite data type (Byte, Short, Integer)
(iii) obj is a variable of a composite data type
(iv) b is a variable of a primitive data type
(v) chr is a variable of a primitive data type
(vi) str is a variable of a composite data type – String which is of class type
(b) State the output of the following program segment: [2]
1 String str1 = "great"; String str2 = "minds";

2 System.out.println(strl.substring(0,2).concat(str2.substring(l)));
3 System.out.println(("WH" + (strl.substring(2).toUpperCase())));
Ans. Output is
1 grinds
2 WHEAT
Explanation for first print statement:

strl.substring(0,2) gives “gr”
str2.substring(l) “inds”
The two on concatenation gives “grinds”
Explanation for second print statement
strl.substring(2) gives “eat”
“eat” on conversion to upper case using the function toUpperCase() results in EAT
“WH” on concatenation with “EAT” using + gives “WHEAT”
(c) What are the final values stored in variables x and y below? [2]
1 double a = - 6.35;
2 double b = 14.74;
3 double x = Math.abs(Math.ceil(a));
4 double y = Math.rint(Math.max(a,b));
Ans. Math.ceil() gives the smallest of all those integers that are greater than the input. So,
Math.ceil(-6.35) gives -6.0 (not -6 as ceil returns a double value). Math.abs() gives the
absolute value of the number i.e. removes negative sign, if present. So, Math.abs(-6.0)
results in 6.0. So, x will be 6.0.
Math.max(-6.35, 14.74) returns 14.74. rint() returns the double value which is closest in
value to the argument passed and is equal to an integer. So, Math.rint(14.74) returns 15.0.
So, y will hold 15.0.
(d) Rewrite the following program segment using the if-else statements instead of the
ternary operator. [2]
1 String grade = (mark >= 90) ? "A" : (mark >= 80) ? "B" : "C";
Ans.
1 String grade;
2 if(marks >= 90) {
3 grade = "A";
4 } else if( marks >= 80 ) {
5 grade = "B";
6 } else {
7 grade = "C";
8}
(e) Give output of the following method: [2]

2 int a = 5;
3 a++;
5 a -= (a--) - (--a);
6 System.out.println(a); }
Ans.
16
24
a++ increments a from 5 to 6. The first print statement prints the value of a which is 6.
a -= (a–) – (–a);
is equivalent to
a = a – ( (a–) – (–a) )
a=6–(6–4)
a=6–2
a=4
(f) What is the data type returned by the library functions: [2]
(i) compareTo()
(ii) equals()
Ans. (i) int
(ii) boolean
(g) State the value of characteristic and mantissa when the following code is executed.
[2]
1 String s = "4.3756";
2 int n = s.indexOf('.');
3 int characteristic = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0,n));
4 int mantissa = Integer.valueOf(s.substring(n+1));
Ans. n = 1
characteristic = Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0,n)) =
Integer.parseInt(“4.3756″.substring(0,1)) = Integer.parseInt(“4″) = 4
characteristic = 4
mantissa = Integer.valueOf(“4.3756″.substring(1+1)) = Integer.valueOf(“3756″) = 3756
mantissa = 3756
(h) Study the method and answer the given questions. [2]
1 public void sampleMethod()

2 { for( int i=0; i<3; i++ )
3 { for( int j=0; j<2; j++)
4 { int number = (int)(Math.random() * 10);
5 System.out.println(number); } } }
(i) How many times does the loop execute?

(ii) What is the range of possible values stored in the variable number?
Ans. (i) The outer loop executes 3 times ( i= 0, 1, 2) and for each execution of the outer
loop, the inner loop executes two times ( j= 0, 1). So, the inner loop executes 3 * 2 = 6
times
(ii) Math.random() returns a value between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).
Math.random() * 10 will be in the range 0 (inclusive) and 10 (exclusive)
(int)(Math.random() * 10) will be in the range 0 (inclusive) and 9 (inclusive) (only integer
values)
(i) Consider the following class: [2]
1 public class myClass {

2 public static int x = 3, y = 4;
3 public int a = 2, b = 3; }
(i) Name the variables for which each object of the class will have its own distinct
copy.
(ii) Name the variables that are common to all objects of the class.
Ans. For static variables, all objects share a common copy while for non static variable,
each object gets its own copy. Therefore, the answer is
(i) a, b
(ii) x, y
(j) What will be the output when the following code segments are executed? [2]
(i)
1 String s = "1001";
2 int x = Integer.valueOf(s);
3 double y = Double.valueOf(s);
4 System.out.println("x=" +x);
5 System.out.println("y=" +y);
(ii)
1 System.out.println("The King said \"Begin at the beginning!\" to me.");
Ans. (i) s = “1001″

x = 1001
y = 1001.0
Output will be
1 x=1001
2 y=1001.0
(ii) The King said “Begin at the beginning!” to me.

\” is an escape sequence which prints ”

Question 5.
A special two-digit number is such that when the sum of its digits is added to the product
of its digits, the result is equal to the original two-digit number.
Example: Consider the number 59.

Sum of digits = 5 + 9 = 14
Product of its digits = 5 x 9 = 45
Sum of the sum of digits and product of digits= 14 + 45 = 59
Write a program to accept a two-digit number. Add the sum of its digits to the product of
its digits. If the value is equal to the number input, output the message “Special 2-digit
number” otherwise, output the message “Not a Special 2-digit number”.
Ans. We create a Scanner object and accept the input number using nextInt() method. The
input is stored in the variable ‘number’. It is given in the question that the input will be a
two digit number. We need to extract the two digits of the number into two variables
‘leftDigit’ and ‘rightDigit’. The left digit can be extracted by dividing the number by 10.
(Note that ‘number’ is an int and the divisor 10 is an int. So, the result will be an int and
not a float i.e. we obtain only the quotient as the result). The right digit can be obtained by
calculating the remainder when ‘number’ is divided by 10.
Let us take an example input – number = 59.

Then, leftDigit = number / 10 = 59 / 10 = 5
rightDigit = number % 10 = 59 % 10 = 9
Once, we have the two numbers, calculating the sum and product of the digits is easy.
1 int sumOfDigits = rightDigit + leftDigit;

2 int productOfDigits = rightDigit * leftDigit;
Next, we add the two variables above and store it in a new variable.
1 int sumOfProductAndSum = sumOfDigits + productOfDigits;
Finally, we use if else decision statements to check if the sum of product of digits and sum
of digits is same as the input number and print an appropriate message.
Program
2
3 public class SpecialNumber {
4
9 int rightDigit = number % 10;
10 int leftDigit = number / 10;
11 int sumOfDigits = rightDigit + leftDigit;
12 int productOfDigits = rightDigit * leftDigit;
13 int sumOfProductAndSum = sumOfDigits + productOfDigits;
14 if (sumOfProductAndSum == number) {
15 System.out.println("Special 2-digit number");
16 } else {
17 System.out.println("Not a Special 2-digit number");
18 }
19 }
20 }
Sample Outputs
1 Enter number: 59
2 Special 2-digit number
1 Enter number: 34
2 Not a Special 2-digit number
Question 6.
Write a program to assign a full path and file name as given below. Using library functions,
extract and output the file path, file name and file extension separately as shown.
Input C:\Users\admin\Pictures\flower.jpg
Output Path: C:\Users\admin\Pictures\
File name: flower
Extension: jpg
Ans. We need to use the methods of the String class like indexOf(), lastIndexOf() and
substring() to solve this problem.
The input String can be divided into three parts, the path, file name and extension. These
three parts are separated by a backslash character and a dot as shown in the figure below.
So, first we need to find the indices of the backslash character and dot which separate
these regions. Note that there are several backslash characters in the input but the
backslash character which separates the file path from the name is the last backslash
character in the String. So, we need to use the lastIndexOf() method to find the index of
this backslash character. Even though in the example input, there is only one dot, folder
names and file names can contain multiple dots. So, for finding the index of the dot which
separates the file name and extension also, we use lastIndexOf() method. Moreover, the
backslash character is written as ‘\\’ and not ‘\’ as \ is an escape character.
1 int indexOfLastBackslash = input.lastIndexOf('\\');

2 int indexOfDot = input.lastIndexOf('.');
Once, we have the indices of the backslash character and dot, we can use the substring
method to extract the three parts. Substring() method takes two integer arguments – begin
and end; and returns the substring formed by the characters between begin (inclusive) and
end (exclusive).
1 String outputPath = input.substring(0, indexOfLastBackslash + 1);

2 String fileName = input.substring(indexOfLastBackslash + 1, indexOfDot);
3 String extension = input.substring(indexOfDot + 1);
Program
2
3 public class FileName {
4
7 System.out.print("Enter file name and path: ");
8 String input = scanner.nextLine();
9 int indexOfLastBackslash = input.lastIndexOf('\\');
10 int indexOfDot = input.lastIndexOf('.');
11 String outputPath = input.substring(0, indexOfLastBackslash + 1);
String fileName = input.substring(indexOfLastBackslash + 1,
12
indexOfDot);
13 String extension = input.substring(indexOfDot + 1);
14 System.out.println("Path: " + outputPath);
15 System.out.println("File Name: " + fileName);
16 System.out.println("Extension: " + extension);
17 }
18 }
Sample Output
1 Enter file name and path: C:\Users\admin\Pictures\flower.jpg

2 Path: C:\Users\admin\Pictures\
3 File Name: flower
4 Extension: jpg

Attempt ALL questions from Section A and any FOUR questions from Section B.
The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in brackets [ ].

Attempt ALL questions.
Question 1
a) What is meant by precedence of operators? [2]

Ans. Precedence of operators refers to the order in which the operators are applied to the
operands in an expression. For example, * has higher precedence than +. So, the
expression 8 + 2 * 5 will evaluate to 8 + 10 = 18
b) What is a literal? [2]

Ans. A literal is a constant data item. There are different literals like integer literals,
floating point literals and character literals.
c) State the Java concept that is implemented through:

i) a super class and a subclass.
ii) the act of representing essential features without including background details. [2]
Ans. i) Inheritance
ii) Abstraction
d) Give a difference between constructor and method. [2]

Ans. i)A constructor has no return type which a method has a return type.
ii) The name of the constructor should be the same as that of the class while the name of a
method can be any valid identifier.
iii) A constructor is automatically called upon object creation while methods are invoked
explicitly.
e) What are the types of casting shown by the following examples? [2]
i) double x =15.2;
int y =(int) x;
ii) int x =12;
long y = x;
Ans. i) Explicit casting
ii) Implicit casting
Question 2:
a) Name any two wrapper classes. [2]

Ans. Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Boolean, Character
b) What is the difference between break and continue statements when they occur in a
loop. [2]
Ans. The break statement terminates the loop while the continue statements current
iteration of the loop to be skipped and continues with the next iteration.
c) Write statements to show how finding the length of a character array and char[]
differs from finding the length of a String object str. [2]
Ans. The length of a character array is found by accessing the length attribute of the array
as shown below:
char[] array = new char[7];
int lengthOfCharArray = array.length;
The length of a String object is found by invoking the length() method which returns the
length as an int.
String str = “java”;
int lengthOfString = str.length();
d) Name the Java keyword that: [2]

(i) indicates a method has no return type.
(ii) stores the address of the currently calling object.
Ans. i) void
ii) this
e) What is an exception? [2]

Ans. An exception is an unforeseen situation that occurs during the execution of a
program. In simpler words, they are the errors that occur during the execution of a
program. The JRE throws an Exception object to indicate an exception which contains the
information related to that exception.
Question 3:
a) Write Java statement to create an object mp4 of class digital. [2]

Ans.
1 digital mp4 = new digital();
b) State the values stored in variables str1 and str2 [2]
1 String s1 = "good";
2 String s2="world matters";
3 String str1 = s2.substring(5).replace('t','n');
4 String str2 = s1.concat(str1);
Ans. s2.substring(5) gives ” matters”. When ‘t’ is replaced with ‘n’, we get ” manners”.
“good” when concatenated with ” manners” gives “good manners”.
So, str1 = ” manners” and str2 = “good manners”.
c) What does a class encapsulate? [2]

Ans. A class encapsulated the data (instance variables) and methods.
d) Rewrite the following program segment using the if..else statement. [2]
comm =(sale>15000)?sale*5/100:0;
Ans.
1 if ( sale > 15000 ) {

2 comm = sale * 5 / 100;
3 } else {
4 comm = 0;
5}
e) How many times will the following loop execute? What value will be returned? [2]
1 int x = 2, y = 50;
2 do{
3 ++x;
4 y-=x++;
5 }while(x<=10);
6 return y;
Ans. In the first iteration, ++x will change x from 2 to 3. y-=x++ will increase x to 4. And y
becomes 50-3=47.
In the second iteration, ++x will change x from 4 to 5. y-=x++ will increase x to 6. And y
becomes 47-5=42.
In the third iteration, ++x will change x from 6 to 7. y-=x++ will increase x to 8. And y
becomes 42-7=35.
In the fourth iteration, ++x will change x from 8 to 9. y-=x++ will increase x to 10. And y
becomes 35-9=26.
In the fifth iteration, ++x will change x from 10 to 11. y-=x++ will increase x to 12. And y
becomes 26-11=15.
Now the condition x<=10 fails.
So, the loop executes five times and the value of y that will be returned is 15.
f) What is the data type that the following library functions return? [2]
i) isWhitespace(char ch)
ii) Math.random()
Ans. i) boolean
ii) double
g) Write a Java expression for ut + ½ ft2 [2]

Ans. u * t + 0.5 * f * Math.pow ( t, 2)
h) If int n[] ={1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 16} what are the values of x and y? [2]
1 x=Math.pow(n[4],n[2]);
2 y=Math.sqrt(n[5]+[7]);
Ans. n[4] is 7 and n[2] is 3. So, Math.pow(7,3) is 343.0.
n[5] is 9 and n[7] is 16. So Math.sqrt(9+16) will give 5.0.
Note that pow() and sqrt() return double values and not int values.
i) What is the final value of ctr after the iteration process given below, executes? [2]
1 int ctr=0;
2 for(int i=1;i<=5;i++)
3 for(int j=1;j<=5;j+=2)
4 ++ctr;
Ans. Outer loop runs five times. For each iteration of the outer loop, the inner loop runs 3
times. So, the statement ++ctr executes 5*3=15 times and so the value of ctr will be 15.
j) Name the methods of Scanner class that: [2]

i) is used to input an integer data from standard input stream.
ii) is used to input a string data from standard input stream.
Ans. i) scanner.nextInt()
ii) scanner.next()

39 System.out.println("Flavour: " + flavour);
40 System.out.println("Pack Type: " + pack_type);
41 System.out.println("Pack Size: " + pack_size);
42 System.out.println("Product Price: " + product_price);
43 }
44 }
Question 5:
The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) is a unique numeric book identifier which is
printed on every book. The ISBN is based upon a 10-digit code. The ISBN is legal if:
1xdigit1 + 2xdigit2 + 3xdigit3 + 4xdigit4 + 5xdigit5 + 6xdigit6 + 7xdigit7 + 8xdigit8 +
9xdigit9 + 10xdigit10 is divisible by 11.
Example: For an ISBN 1401601499
Sum=1×1 + 2×4 + 3×0 + 4×1 + 5×6 + 6×0 + 7×1 + 8×4 + 9×9 + 10×9 = 253 which is
divisible by 11.
Write a program to:
(i) input the ISBN code as a 10-digit integer.
(ii) If the ISBN is not a 10-digit integer, output the message “Illegal ISBN” and terminate the
program.
(iii) If the number is 10-digit, extract the digits of the number and compute the sum as
explained above.
If the sum is divisible by 11, output the message, “Legal ISBN”. If the sum is not divisible by
11, output the message, “Illegal ISBN”. [15]
Ans.
The data type of ISBN should be long instead of int as the maximum value of an int is
2,147,483,647 which is less than 9999999999 – the maximum possible value of an ISBN.
2
3 public class ISBN {
4

Examples of Binary Operators – +, -, *, /, %
(c) Differentiate between call by value or pass by value and call by reference or pass by reference. [2]
Ans. In call by value, a copy of the data item is passed to the method which is called whereas in call by
reference, a reference to the original data item is passed. No copy is made. Primitive types are passed by value
whereas reference types are passed by reference.
(d) Write a Java expression for (under root of 2as+u2) [2]

Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner ( System.in )
(c) What is an array? Write a statement to declare an integer array of 10 elements. [2]
Ans. An array is a reference data used to hold a set of data of the same data type. The following statement
declares an integer array of 10 elements -
int arr[] = new int[10];
(d) Name the search or sort algorithm that:

(i) Makes several passes through the array, selecting the next smallest item in the array each time and
placing it where it belongs in the array.

Ans. x = false
y = 63
(b) State the values of n and ch [2]
1 char c = 'A':
2 int n = c + 1;
Ans. The ASCII value for ‘A’ is 65. Therefore, n will be 66.
(c) What will be the result stored in x after evaluating the following expression? [2]

2 System.out.println(Math.min(Math.floor(x), y));
3 System.out.println(Math.max(Math.ceil(x), y));
Ans.
2.0
3.0
Explanation : Math.min(Math.floor(x), y) = Math.min ( 2.0, 2.5 ) = 2.0
Math.max(Math.ceil(x), y)) = Math.max ( 3.0, 2.5 ) = 3.0
(e) State the output of the following program segment. [2]

4 System.out.println(s.charAt(2) == s.charAt(6));
Ans.
false
true
Explanation : n = 11
s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n)) = s.startsWith ( “nation” ) = false
( s.charAt(2) == s.charAt(6) ) = ( ‘a’== ‘a’ ) = true
(f) State the method that:

(i) Converts a string to a primitive float data type
(ii) Determines if the specified character is an uppercase character [2]
Ans. (i) Float.parseFloat(String)
(ii) Character.isUpperCase(char)

1 String s1 = "Computer", s2 = "Applications";

2 a = (s1.compareTo(s2));
3 b = (s1.equals(s2));
Ans. Data type of a is int and b is boolean.

ASCII value of ‘C’ is 67 and ‘A’ is 65. So compare gives 67-65 = 2.
Therefore a = 2
b = false
(h) What will the following code output? [2]

Paper
COMPUTER APPLCATIONS
(Theory)
Two Hours
Answers to this Paper must be written on the paper provided separately.

You will not be allowed to write during the first 15 minutes.
This time is to be spent in reading the Question Paper.
The time given at the head of the Paper is the time allowed for writing the answers.
This paper is divided into two Sections.
Attempt all questions from Section A and any four questions from Section B.
The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in bracket [ ]
SECTION – A (40 Marks)
Question 1.
(a) What is the difference between an object and a class? [2]

Ans. 1. A class is a blueprint or a prototype of a real world object. It contains instance
variables and methods whereas an object is an instance of a class.
2. A class exists in the memory of a computer while an object does not.
3. There will be only one copy of a class whereas multiple objects can be instantiated from
the same class.
(b) What does the token ‘keyword’ refer to in the context of Java? Give an example for
keyword. [2]
Ans. Keywords are reserved words which convey special meanings to the compiler and
cannot be used as identifiers. Example of keywords : class, public, void, int
(c) State the difference between entry controlled loop and exit controlled loop. [2]
Ans. In an entry controlled loop, the loop condition is checked before executing the body
of the loop. While loop and for loop are the entry controlled loops in Java.
In exit controlled loops, the loop condition is checked after executing the body of the loop.
do-while loop is the exit controlled loop in Java.
(d) What are the two ways of invoking functions? [2]

Ans. If the function is static, it can be invoked by using the class name. If the function is
non-static, an object of that class should be created and the function should be invoked
using that object.
(e) What is difference between / and % operator? [2]

Ans. / is the division operator whereas % is the modulo (remainder) operator. a / b gives
the result obtained on diving a by b whereas a % b gives the remainder obtained on diving
a by b.
Question 2.
(a) State the total size in bytes, of the arrays a [4] of char data type and p [4] of float
data type. [2]
Ans. char is two bytes. So a[4] will be 2*4=8 bytes.
float is 4 bytes. So p[4] will be 4*4=16 bytes.
(b) (i) Name the package that contains Scanner class.

(ii) Which unit of the class gets called, when the object of the class is created? [2]
Ans. (i) java.util
(ii) Constructor
(c) Give the output of the following: [2]
1 String n = “Computer Knowledge”;

2 String m = “Computer Applications”;
3 System.out.println(n.substring (0,8). concat (m.substring(9)));
4 System.out.println(n.endsWith(“e”));
Ans. n.substring(0,8) gives “Computer”. m.substring(9) gives “Applications”. These two on

concatenation gives “ComputerApplications”. n ends with “e”. So, it gives true.
The output is:
1 ComputerApplications
2 true
(d) Write the output of the following: [2]

(i) System.out.println (Character.isUpperCase(‘R’));
(ii) System.out.println(Character.toUpperCase(‘j’));
Ans. (i) true
(ii) J
(e) What is the role of keyword void in declaring functions? [2]

Ans. void indicates that the function doesn’t return any value.
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 ? [2]
1 int p = 200;
2 while(true)
3{
4 if (p<100)
5 break;
6 p=p-20;
7}
8 System.out.println(p);
Ans.p values changes as follows : 200, 180, 160, 140, 120, 100, 80. So, the loop executes
six times and value of p is 80.
(b) What will be the output of the following code? [2]

(i)
1 int k = 5, j = 9;
2 k += k++ – ++j + k;
3 System.out.println("k= " +k);
4 System.out.println("j= " +j);
Ans.
1k = 6
2 j = 10
Explanation:
k += k++ – ++j + k
k = k + k++ – ++j + k
k = 5 + 5 – 10 + 6
k=6
j = 10 as it has been incremented in the ++j operation.
(ii) [2]
1 double b = -15.6;
2 double a = Math.rint (Math.abs (b));
3 System.out.println("a= " +a);
Ans.
1 a =16.0
Maths.abs(-15.6) will give 15.6 and Math.rint(15.6) gives 16.0.
(c) Explain the concept of constructor overloading with an example . [2]

Ans. A class can have more than one constructor provided that the signatures differ. This
is known as constructor overloading.
Example:
1 class Age {
2
3 int age;
4
5 public Age() {
6 age = -1;
7 }
8
9 public Age(int age) {
10 this.age = age;
11 }
12 }
(d) Give the prototype of a function search which receives a sentence sentnc and a
word wrd and returns 1 or 0 ? [2]
Ans.
1 public boolean function ( sentence sentnc, word wrd )
or
1 public int function ( sentence sentnc, word wrd )
(e) Write an expression in Java for z = (5×3 + 2y ) / ( x + y) [2]

Ans.
1 z = ( 5 * Math.pow ( x, 3 ) + 2 * y ) / ( x + y )
(f) Write a statement each to perform the following task on a string: [2]
(i) Find and display the position of the last space in a string s.
(ii) Convert a number stored in a string variable x to double data type
Ans. (i) System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf(” “);
(ii) Double.parseDouble(x)
(g) Name the keyword that: [2]

(i) informs that an error has occurred in an input/output operation.
(ii) distinguishes between instance variable and class variables.
Ans. (i) throw
(ii) static
(h) What are library classes ? Give an example. [2]

Ans. Library classes are the predefined classes which are a part of java API. Ex: String,
Scanner
(i) Write one difference between Linear Search and Binary Search . [2]
Ans. Linear search can be used with both sorted and unsorted arrays. Binary search can be
used only with sorted arrays.

Paper
ICSE Computer Applications 2009

(Two Hours)
Attempt all questions from Section A and any four four questions from Section B. The
intended marks for each question are given in brackets []
Section A
Question 1:
(a) Why is a class called a factory of objects? [2]

Ans. A class is known as a factory of objects because objects are instantiated from classes.
Each object gets a copy of the instance variables present in the class. It is like a factory
producing objects.
(b) State the difference between a boolean literal and a character literal. [2]
Ans. i) A boolean literal can store one of two values – true and false. A character literal can
store a single Unicode character.
ii) The memory required by a boolean literal depends on the implementation. The memory
required by a character literal is 2 bytes.
(c) What is the use and syntax of a ternary operator? [2]

Ans. The ternary operator is a decision making operator which can be used to replace
certain if else statement.
Syntax: condition ? expression1 : expression2
(d) Write one word answer for the following: [2]

i) A method that converts a string to a primitive integer data type
ii) The default initial value of a boolean variable data type
Ans. i) Integer.parseInt()
ii) false
(e) State one similarity and one difference between while and for loop. [2]
Ans. A while loop contains only a condition while a for loop contains initialization,
condition and iteration.
Question 2:
(a) Write the function prototype for the function “sum” that takes an integer variable
(x) as its argument and returns a value of float data type. [2]
Ans.
1 public float sum(int x)
(b) What is the use of the keyword this? [2]

Ans. this refers to the object on which the method has been invoked. If an instance variable
and a local variable in a method have the same name, the local variable hides the instance
variable. The keyword this can be used to access the instance variable as shown in the
example below:
1 public class thisKeywordExample {

2
3 int a; // varaible 1
4
5 public void method() {
6 int a; // variable 2
7 a = 4; // varaible 1 will be changed
8 a = 3; // varaible 2 will be changed
9
10 }
11 }
(c) Why is a class known as a composite data type? [2]

Ans. A class is composed of instance variables which are of different data types. hence, a
class can be viewed as a composite data type which is composed of primitive and other
composite data types.
(d) Name the keyword that: [2]

i) is used for allocating memory to an array
ii) causes the control to transfer back to the method call
Ans. i) new
ii) return
(e) Differentiate between pure and impure functions. [2]

Ans. i) A pure function does not change the state of the object whereas an impure function
changes the state of the object by modifying instance variables.
ii) get functions are examples of pure functions and set functions are examples if impure
functions.
Question 3:
(a) Write an expression for [2]

Ans. (Math.pow(a+b),n)/(Math.sqrt(3)+b)
(b) The following is a segment of a program.
1 x = 1; y = 1;
2 if(n > 0)
3{
4 x = x + 1;
5 y = y - 1;
6}
What will be the value of x and y, if n assumes a value (i) 1 (ii) 0? [2]
Ans. i) 1 > 0 is true, so if block will be executed.
x=x+1=1+1=2
y=y–1=1–1=0
ii) 0 > 0 is false, so if block will not be executed and therefore, the values of x and y won’t
change.
x=1
y=1
(c) Analyze the following program segment and determine how many times the body
of loop will be executed (show the working). [2]
1 x = 5; y = 50;
2 while(x<=y)
3{
4 y=y/x;
5 System.out.println(y);
6}
Ans.
Iteration 1 : 5 <= 50 - true y = y / x = 50 / 5 = 10 10 will be

1
printed
Iteration 2 : 5 <= 10 - true y = y / x = 10 / 5 = 2 2 will be
2
printed
3 Iteration 3 : 5 <= 2 - false
The loop will be executed two times.
(d) When there are multiple definitions with the same function name, what makes
them different from each other? [2]
Ans. The function prototype make multiple definitions of a function different from each
other. Either the number, type or order or arguments should be different for the functions
having identical names.
Q3. (e) Given that int x[][] = { {2,4,6}, {3,5,7} };

What will be the value of x[1][0] and x[0][2] ? [2]
Ans. We can write the array as
As shown in the figure x[1][0] is 3 and x[0][2] is 6.
(f) Give the output of the following code segment when (i) opn = ‘b’ (ii) opn = ‘x’ (iii)
opn = ‘a’. [3]
1 switch(opn)
2{
3 case 'a':
4 System.out.println("Platform Independent");
5 break;
6 case 'b':
7 System.out.println("Object Oriented");
8 case 'c':
9 System.out.println("Robust and Secure");
10 break;
11 default:
12 System.out.println("Wrong Input");
13 }
Ans. i) Output will be
1 Object Oriented
2 Robust and Secure
As there is no break statement for case ‘b’, statements in case ‘c’ will also be printed when
opn = ‘b’.
ii) Output will be
1 Wrong Input
As ‘x’ doesn’t match with either ‘a’, ‘b’ or ‘c’, the default statement will be executed.
iii) Output will be
1 Platform Independent
(g) Consider the following code and answer the questions that follow: [4]
1 class academic
2{
3 int x, y;
4 void access()
5 {
6 int a, b;
7 academic student = new academic();
8 System.out.println("Object created");
9 }
10 }
i) What is the object name of class academic?
ii) Name the class variables used in the program?
iii) Write the local variables used in the program.
iv) Give the type of function used and its name.
Ans. i) student
ii) x and y
iii) a and b
iv) Type: Non Static
Name: access
Q3 (h) Convert the following segment into an equivalent do loop. [3]
1 int x,c;
2 for(x=10,c=20;c>10;c=c-2)
3 x++;
Ans.
1 int x, c;
2 x = 10;
3 c = 20;
4 do {
5 x++;
6 c = c - 2;
7 } while (c > 10);
