Section A (40 marks)

1.
a. What is the difference between local variable and instance variable? [2]
b. Write an expression in java for Cos x + 2AB/y [2]
c. What is the difference between a static member function and a member function which is not static? [2]
d. What is a Wrapper class? Give 2 examples. [2]
e. How many times does the loop iterate? Also give the output for the following code snippet.
int x;
for(x = 1; x< =10; x + +)
{
x + +;
System.out.println(x + +);
} [2]

2.
a. Rewrite the following if-else statement in terms of switch-case statements? [2]
char code;
if(code=='A')
System.out.println("Excellent");
else if(code =='B' || code =='C')
System.out.println("Good");
else if(code =='D')
System.out.println("Poor");
b. What is the difference between ‘= =’ and ‘equalsIgnoreCase( )’ [2]
c. Write the output of the following code. [2]
String str=”International”;
System.out.println(str.charAt(4));
System.out.println(str.lastIndexOf(‘a’));
d. Write the output of the following. [4]
String s1 = “INFORMATION”;
String s2 = “TECHNOLOGY”;
i. System.out.println(s1.substring(0,4).concat(s2.substring(6,10))
ii. System.out.println(s1.substring(2));
iii. System.out.println(s1.charAt(s1.indexOf(‘R’) + s2.indexOf(‘C’)));
iv. System.out.println(s2.replace(‘T’ , ‘F’));

3.
a. What will be the output for the following program segment? [2]
int a = 10,b=30,c=40;
a= --b + c * a / 2;
System.out.print("a" + a);
System.out.print("b " +b );
b. Give the difference between actual parameter and formal parameter. [2]
c. Differentiate between equals() and compareTo() functions. [2]
d. State the purpose and return data type of the following String functions :- [2]
i) trim()
ii) charAt( )
e. What is the value stored in variable val given below: [2]
double val= Math.pow(“137”.indexOf(‘7’),3);

4.
a. Define the integer data members numl and num2 in the class. Initialize them with the values in a default constructor and parameterized constructor. [2]
b. State the difference between method and constructor. [2]
c. Differentiate between isUpperCase(char) and toLowerCase(char) [2]
d. What will be the output of the following program segments? [2]
String s = “application”;
int p = s.indexOf(‘a’);
System.out.println(p);
System.out.println(p+s);
e. Write a statement to create an object of a class Student that invokes a parameterized constructor that accepts one String and one int type values. [2]

8. Write a Menu driven Program to do the following
a) Write a class to print the following series:
S=a/x1+a/x2+a/x3+a/x4……. a/xn [8]
b) Write a class to display prime numbers between 1 to 100 [7]

9. Define a class BILL that calculates telephone bill of a consumer having the following description:
Data members/instance variables
int billno - bill number
String name - name of consumer
int unit - no. of units consumed in a month
double amount – bill amount to be paid by the person
Member functions:
BILL () - constructor to initialize data members with default initial value
BILL(…) - parameterized constructor to accept billno, name and no. of units consumed .
calculate() - to calculate the monthly telephone bill for a consumer as per following condition
No. of Units consumed Rate in Rs.
First 100 Units Only monthly rental (Rs. 200)
Next 100 units Rs. 0.60/ Unit
Next 100 units Rs. 1.0/Unit
Above 300 Rs 1.5/Unit

display()- To display the details.
Create an object in the main() method and invoke the above function to perform the desired task. [15]

10. Overload a function check() to perform the following task [15]
i) check(int a) to check if a number is Armstrong. A number is said to be Armstrong if the sum of cubes of its digits is equal to the number.
ii) check(String str)To check if given string is palindrome
