Question 4 [15]
Write a program to input 10 positive or negative numbers (no zero) into an integer array and shift all positive
numbers to the beginning of the array and negative numbers to the end of the array, without changing the

Question 5 [15]
Write a program to store 6 elements in an array P and 4 elements in an array Q. Now , produce a third array R ,
containing all the elements of array P and Q. Display the resultant array.

Input Input Output

P[] Q[] R[]
4 19 4
6 23 6
1 7 1
2 8 2
3 3
10 10
19
23
7
8
Question 6 [15]
Write a program to accept the year of graduation from school as an integer value from the user. Using the
binary search technique on the sorted array of integers given below , output the message “Record exists” if the
value input is located in the array. If not , output the message “Record does not exist”.
Sample Input :

n[0] n[1] n[2] n[3] n[4] n[5] n[6] n[7] n[8] n[9]
1982 1987 1993 1996 1999 2003 2006 2007 2009 2010

Question 7 [15]
Write a program to input 10 numbers into an integer array and shift all even numbers to the beginning of the
array and odd numbers to the end of the array, without changing the order of the numbers.
Question 8 [15]
A ‘Happy Word’ is defined as :
Take a word and calculate the word’s value based on position of the letters in English alphabet. On the basis of
word’s value , find the sum of the squares of its digits. Repeat the process with the resultant number until the
number equals 1 (one). If the number ends with 1 then the word is called a ‘Happy Word’. Write a program to
input a word and check whether it is a ‘Happy Word’ or not. The program displays a message accordingly.
Sample Input : VAT
Place value of V = 22 , A = 1 , T = 20
[Hint: A=1 , B=2 , ------ , Z=26]
Solution: 22120 → 22 + 22 + 12 + 22 + 02 = 13 → 12 + 32 = 10 → 12 + 02
Sample Output:- A Happy Word
