Week 1 Questions

Introduction to coding (Basics)

Note: Most of the questions have been developed using the following source, you can

Q1​ Scan a word given as an input. Then, in the next line scan two numbers given to you
as input (space-separated, in a single line). Then print that word and the sum of the
numbers as the output in the same line. Make a class named Source and do the
required operations (scanning, addition and printing) inside the main method.

E.g: Input
Plant
61

Output
Plant7

Q2​ You will be given 7 different inputs in different lines, each having a different data
type. The inputs will be in the order of: char, int, byte, short, double, string and float. You
have to store all these values in different variables of the associated data type and then
print them as the output in a certain order shown in the below example.

E.g: Input
R
47
4
56
88.355
UpGrad
6.0000145f
Output
UpGrad 6.0000145 56 R 47 88.355 4

Q3​ You are given a piece of code (not the complete code) below. It has an ‘if-else if’
structure handling the String named value, which stores the name of a fruit or
vegetable, and the appropriate output is printed according to what is stored in value.
You are required to change this structure into a switch-case statement structure doing
the same thing (you have to write the full code). Scan the name of the fruit/vegetable
(given to you as an input) into ‘value’.

String value = sc.nextLine();

if ("apple".equals(value )) {
System.out.println("Fruit "+value);
}
else if ("tomato".equals(value )) {
System.out.println("Fruit/Vegetable "+value);
}
else if ("mango".equals(value )) {
System.out.println("Fruit "+value);
}
else if ("potato".equals(value )) {
System.out.println("Vegetable "+value);
}

E.g: Input
apple

Output
Fruit apple

Q4​ You will be given an integer as an input. You have to output yes or no depending
upon whether that number is prime or not. Note: you have to use while loop in your
solution.

E.g: Input
28

Output
no

Q4​ You will be given an integer as an input. You have to print the following pattern
(shown below) for that many number of lines. Note: you have to use for loop(s) in your
solution.

E.g: Input
5

Output
-----$-
----$-$-
---$-$-$-
--$-$-$-$-
-$-$-$-$-$-
