(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 this 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 brackets [ ].

SECTION A (40 Marks)

Attempt all questions.

Question 1

(a) Give one example each of a primitive data type and a composite data type. [2]
Ans. Primitiv e Data Ty pes by te, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean
Composite Data Ty pe Class, Array , Interface

(b) Give one point of difference between unary and binary operators. [2]
Ans. A unary operator requires a single operand whereas a binary operator requires two operands.
Examples of Unary Operators Increment ( ++ ) and Decrement ( ) Operators
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 v alue, 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. Primitiv e ty pes are passed by v alue whereas reference ty pes are passed by reference.

(d) Write a Java expression for (under root of 2as+u2) [2]

Ans. Math.sqrt ( 2 * a * s + Math.pow ( u, 2 ) )
( or )
Math.sqrt ( 2 * a * s + u * u )

(e) Name the types of error (syntax, runtime or logical error) in each case given below:
(i) Division by a variable that contains a value of zero.
(ii) Multiplication operator used when the operation should be division.
(iii) Missing semicolon. [2]
Ans.
(i) Runtime Error

(ii) Logical Error
(iii) Sy ntax Error

Question 2

(a)Create a class with one integer instance variable. Initialize the variable using:
(i) default constructor
(ii) parameterized constructor. [2]
Ans.

1 public class Integer {

2
3 int x;
4
5 public Integer() {
6 x = 0;
7 }
8
9 public Integer(int num) {
10 x = num;
11 }
12 }

(b)Complete the code below to create an object of Scanner class.

Scanner sc = ___________ Scanner( ___________ ) [2]
Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner ( Sy stem.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 ty pe. 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.
(ii) At each stage, compares the sought key value with
2 the key value of the middle element of the array. [2]
Ans. (i) Selection Sort Like
(ii) Binary Search

(e) Differentiate between public and private modifiers for members of a class. [2]
Ans. Variables and Methods whwith the public access modie the class also.

Question 3

(a) What are the values of x and y when the following statements are executed? [2]

1 int a = 63, b = 36;

2 boolean x = (a < b ) ? true : false; int y= (a > b ) ? a : b ;

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 v alue for A is 65. Therefore, n will be 66.

(c) What will be the result stored in x after evaluating the following expression? [2]

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
 1 int x=4;
2 x += (x++) + (++x) + x;

Ans. x = x + (x++) + (++x) + x

x=4+4+6+6
x = 20

(d) Give the output of the following program segment: [2]

1 double x = 2.9, y = 2.5;

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]

1 String s = "Examination";
2 int n = s.length();
3 System.out.println(s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n)));
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)

(g) State the data type and values of a and b after the following segment is executed.[2]

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

2 a = (s1.compareTo(s2));
3 b = (s1.equals(s2));

Ans. Data ty pe of a is int and b is boolean.

ASCII v alue of C is 67 and A is 65. So compare giv es 67-65 = 2.
Therefore a = 2
b = false

(h) What will the following code output? [2]

1 String s = "malayalam";
2 System.out.println(s.indexOf('m'));
3 System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf('m'));

Ans.
0
8

(i) Rewrite the following program segment using while instead of for statement [2]

converted by W eb2PDFConvert.com
 1 int f = 1, i;
2 for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
3 f *= i;
4 System.out.println(f);
5 }

Ans.

1 int f = 1, i = 1;
2 while (i <= 5) {
3 f *= i;
4 System.out.println(f);
5 i++;
6 }

(j) In the program given below, state the name and the value of the
(i) method argument or argument variable
(ii) class variable
(iii) local variable
(iv) instance variable [2]

1 class myClass {
2
3 static int x = 7;
4 int y = 2;
5
6 public static void main(String args[]) {
7 myClass obj = new myClass();
8 System.out.println(x);
9 obj.sampleMethod(5);
10 int a = 6;
11 System.out.println(a);
12 }
13
14 void sampleMethod(int n) {
15 System.out.println(n);
16 System.out.println(y);
17 }
18 }

Ans. (i) name = n v alue =5

(ii) name = y v alue = 7
(iii) name = a v alue = 6
(iv ) name = obj v alue = new My Class()

SECTION B (60 MARKS)

Hey !My name is Zoha,Ill be giv ing the ICSE Examinations after this y ear,may be 2015.It was because of my parents wish that I was giv en
Computers as an additional subject but from that day till now,I am unable to understand it,from basic programs to complicated
functions,all hav e been out of my mind by now.Iv e nev er been to a coaching institute for such purpose but now as Iv e receiv ed much
less grades,Im thinking to giv e a special attention to it.I am a bright student by Gods grace,but I know,computers will decrease my
percentage.If any of y ou can help me with basic programming,Ill be extremely thankful to y ou people.The problem comes when when I
read the question,suppose it is giv en to write a program to identify an armstrong number,I get the thing but dont know what to write to
prov e the number is so,the basic part.PLEASE ANYONE HELP ME.YOU WILL BE BLESSED BY GOD THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.
