 You need to cover that long note book (Register) with brown paper.
Section A
I. Explain the following:-
 Any three Java features.
 Class, Object, Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism.
 Data types (Primitive and Non-primitive), Type Casting
 All variations of loop statement (for, while and do-while) and also mention their
different output.
 Mathematical Methods (sqrt(), random(), round(), ceil(), floor() ) and Boolean
functions of Scanner class.
II. Write the following as Java expressions:
 √

√


 √

III. Give the output of the following: ( Need to mention Steps & reasons)
 System.out.println(“D” + 10 + 20 + “E” + 2 + 2);
 System.out.println( 34.75 / 0.25 * 10 + 28.50 % 4);
 int a = 20, b = 40 , c = 50, x; x = c * a-- +(a%++b) – (b * --c) % b;
 What is output of following program code?
char a = „x‟ ; int b = 2 ; int c = 4; char d = „y‟ ;
System.out.println( a+d );
System.out.println( b+c );
System.out.println( a+b );
System.out.println( c+d );
 int x = 2 , y = 5 , a = 0;
a = x;
x = y;
y = a;
System.out.println(“x =” +x + “y =”+y);
IV. What will be the output of the following code (working and reason compulsory)
 int y;
for( y = 1; y<=10; y+=2)
System.out.print(y + “ “);
System.out.println(“\n”+ y * 10);
[7]
  x = 1; y = 1;
if(n>0)
{
x = x+1;
y = y – 1;
}
What will be value of x and y, if n assumes a value
1. 1
2. 0 ?
 int a = -8;
do
{
System.out.println(a);
a++;
}while(a<0);
Section – B
V. Write the programs in Java of the following (compulsory to write documentation
& Variable Description of each program)
 Using the switch – case statement, write a menu driven program for the
following:
1. To find and display the sum of the series given below:
S = x1 – x2 + x3 – x4 + x5 ……… - x20
2. To display the following pattern:
2 22 222 2222 22222 222222
 Write a program to accept an integer and print whether the integer is a special
number or not.
If the sum of the factorial of each digit of a number is same as the original
number, then the number is special.
Example: 145 is a special number, because 1! +4! + 5! = 1 + 24 + 120 = 145.
The symbol ! means factorial of a number which is product of all integers from
1 to that number ( 4! = 1* 2 * 3 * 4 = 24)

three different symbols like $ , & , #. There are 1252 voters in the school. Write

to the electricity department using the bill slabs given below:
Units of electricity consumed Rate per unit
<= 200 units Fixed Rs 400.00
