JAVA AND DSD

1. class Main {
public static void main (String args[ ])
{
System.out.println(f1 ());
}
int f1( )
{
return 50;
}
}
What is the output of the above code?

Ans: It gives compiler error. Because in java non static methods cannot be called in static
methods

2. class Main
{
public static void main (String args [])
{
int t=1;
if(t)
{
System.out.println("Hello");
}
else
{
System.out.println("Hi");
}
}
}

The output of the above program is

Ans: Compiler error.

Incompatible types: int is not converted to Boolean in java. This works only in C/C++.

3. class Main
{
public static void main (String args [])
{
String x = new String("nmamit");
String y = new String ("nmamit");
if (x == y)
System.out.println("Equal");
else
System.out.println("Not equal");
}
 }
The output of the above program is

Ans: Output is- Not equal.

x and y are two different objects, hence the references are not the same.
In order to compare strings use string.equals( ) method.

4. Which of the following is the correct defenition of abstract class?

Ans: abstract class A { abstract void fun();} is the correct definition.
Use abstract keyword to define abstract class and define an abstract function in the same.

5. Which of the following methods of Thread class is used to obtain the priority of a given
thread?
Ans: getPriority()

6. Suppose A is an abstract class and B is a concrete subclass of A and both have default
constructors
Which of the following is correct?

1. A a = new A( );
2. A a = new B( ):
3. B b = new B( );
4. B b = new A( );
Ans: 2 and 3 are correct.
Only concrete classes can be instantiated. Abstract class reference variable can be created.

7. Java's built in exceptions are present in this package

Ans: java.lang

8. Which of the following does not allow storing null values?

Ans: TreeSet does not allow storing null values. It gives NullPointerException.
HashSet and LinkedHashSet allow null values, but only one null value.

9. Which of the following does not implement Collection interface?

Ans: Map does not implement Collection interface where as List and Set do.

10. The reduced form of Y = AB’ + (A’ + B) C.

Ans: Y = AB’ + (A’ + B)C = AB’ + (AB’)’ C
= (AB’ + C ) ( AB’ + (AB’)’) = (AB’ + C).1 = AB’ + C

11. Product-of-Sums expressions can be implemented using

Ans: Both 2-level NOR and 2-level OR-AND logic circuit

12. SR flip flop can be used as

Ans: Switch bouncer
The SR flip-flop is very effective in removing the effects of switch bounce, which is the
unwanted noise caused during the switching of electronic devices.
 13. Whose operations are faster among the following?
Combinatiobal circuits, Sequential circuits, Flip flops, Latches

Ans: Combinational circuits are often faster than sequential circuits. Combinational circuits do
not require memory elements whereas the sequential circuits need memory devices to perform
their operations in sequence. Latches and Flip-flops come under sequential circuits.

14. Which of the following is an ambiguous condition in a NAND- based S'-R' flip flop?
Ans: S’=0 and R’=0 is an ambiguous condition because both the output will be HIGH. In this case
system goes to an unexpected state.

15. A positive edge triggered D flip flop will store a 1 when

Ans: D input must be high and clock transitions from LOW to HIGH

16. Consider a 4 bit Johnson counter with an initial value of 0000. The counting sequence of this
counter is:
Ans: The four bit Johnson's counter connects the complement of the output of the last shift
register to the input of the first register ,1 bit will shift/cycle It will work as follows:
Inititally- 0000-0 //Last 0 complemented and fed as input to first register
1000 -8
1100-12
1110-14
1111-15 // last 1 complemented and 0 is fed to the first register
0111-7
0011-3
0001-1
0000-0
Hence the sequence is- 0,8,12,14,15,7,3,1,0

17. What is the minimum number of gates required to implement the Boolean function (AB+C)if
we have to use only 2-input NOR gates?
Ans: AB + C= (A + C)(B + C) = ((A+C)' + (B+C)')'
Hence 3 NOR gates are required

18. The primary difference between a counter and a register is

Ans: The primary difference between a counter and a register is that register has no specific state
sequence except in certain conditions.

PYTHON:

1.Predict the output of following python program:

r = lambda q: q * 2
s = lambda q: q * 4
x=2
x = r(x)
x = s(x)
x = r(x)
print (x)
a.24 b.32 c.45 d.2
Answer : 32
Explanation : In the above program r and s are lambda functions or anonymous functions
and q is the argument to both of the functions.
In first step we have initialized x to 2. In second step we have passed x as argument to the
lambda function r, this will return x*2 which is stored in x.
That is, x = 4 now. Similarly in third step we have passed x to lambda function s, So x = 4*4.
i.e, x = 16 now.
Again in the last step, x is multiplied by 2 by passing it to function r. Therefore, x = 32.

2.What is the maximum possible length of an identifier?

a.16 b.32 c.64 d.None of these above
Answer :None of these above
Explanation: The maximum possible length of an identifier is not defined in the python
language. It can be of any number.

3.What is the output of the following program?

List = [True, 90, 10]
List.insert(2, 8)
print(List, "Sum is: ", sum(List))
a) [True, 90, 10, 8] Sum is: 108
b) [True, 90, 8, 10] Sum is: 109
c) TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: ‘int’ and ‘str’
d) [True, 90, 8, 10] Sum is: 108
Answer :[True, 90, 8, 10] Sum is: 109
Explanation: The List is initially has 3 elements. The insert() adds element 8 at index 2,
moving element 10 at index 3 and the List becomes [True,90, 8, 10].
Boolean has an integer value of 1, thus sum becomes 1 + 90 + 8 + 10 = 109.

4.What is the output of the following program?

L = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9]
print(L.pop(-3), end = ' ')
print(L.remove(L[0]), end = ' ')
print(L)
 a)5 1 [3, 7, 9]
b) 5 None [3, 7, 9]
c) 5 1 [3, 7, 9]
d) 5 None [1, 3, 7, 9]
Answer:5 None [3, 7, 9]
Explanation: pop() will delete and return the element whose index was passed as
parameter. L.pop(-3) will delete 5 and return 5, which is printed by print(). remove() does
return any value, it’s a void function. L[0] = 1,
L.remove(1) will delete 1 from the list and the list remains to be [3, 7, 9].

5.What is the output of the following program?

print(chr(ord(chr(97))))
a. a b.A c.97 d.error
Answer: a
Explanation: Outer chr and ord will cancel out and we will be left with chr(97) which will
return "a". So, option A is correct.

6.What will be the output of below Python code?

str1="Information"

print(str1[2:9])
a. ormat
b. formatio
c. orma
d. formati
Answer :
Ans : formati
Explanation: Concept of slicing is used in this question. In string slicing,the output is the
substring starting from the first given index position i.e 2 to one less than the second given
index position
i.e.(9-1=8) of the given string str1. Hence, the output will be "formati".

7.What will following Python code return?

str1="Stack of books"
print(len(str1))
a.11 b.15 c.14 d.13
Answer : 14
Explanation: len() returns the length of the given string str1, including spaces and
considering " " as a single character.

8.What will be the output of following Python code?

list1=[1,3,4,2]
x=list1.pop(2)

print(set([x]))
a.{1,2,4,2} b.{1,3,2} c.{2} d.{4}
