QUESTION 3.

A class named DeciOct is defined to convert a decimal number into its corresponding octal representation. The
details for some of the members of this class are provided below.

Class name DeciOct

Data members/Instance variables
n To store the decimal number
oct To store the octal equivalent number
Member functions
void getnum (int nn) Assign nn to n
void deci_oct() Calculates the octal equivalent of n and stores it in oct
void show() Displays the decimal number n, calls the function deci_oct() and
displays its octal equivalent.
Specify the class DeciOct, giving details of void getnum(int), void deci_oct() and void show().
Also define a main() function to create an object of the class and call the functions accordingly to enable
the task.

QUESTION 4.

An emirp number is a number, which is prime backwards and forwards.

For example : 13 and 31 are both prime numbers.

Thus, 13 is an emirp number. Design a class Emirp to check, if a given number is Emirp number or not.

QUESTION 5.

Above 300 units Rs. 5.00
If the number of units consumed exceeds 300, a surcharge of 2.5% is applied.
Define a method void print() to display the details in the following format:
Customer Name: _____
Units Consumed: _____
Bill Amount: _____
Write a main method to create an instance of the ElectricBill class and invoke the relevant methods to
