Question 1: To be answered in (25) Minutes [ ] / 10 Marks

Consider the following sequence number generated by 9 repeated calls of sr.nextInt(3) where
sr is a variable of type SecureRandom:

1 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 2

What is the output of the following code?

import java.security.SecureRandom;
public class Maze
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
for(int i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
for(int j = 1; j <= 3; j++) {
System.out.print(maze());
}
System.out.println();
}
System.out.println('^');
} // method main

public static char maze() {

SecureRandom sr = new SecureRandom();
int i = sr.nextInt(3);
switch(i) {
case 1 : return '_';
case 2 : return '|';
default: return ' ';
}
} // method maze
} // class Maze

Output: (1 mark for each character)

Question 2: To be answered in (25) Minutes [ ] /10 Marks

The following Java program asks the user to enter a number between 1 and 10. If he/she enters a wrong
number, the program will ask him/her again and again for another number. The program ends when the
user enters a correct value.

There are 5 errors in this program. Find and fix the errors by filling the erroneous instruction line number
and its correction in the table below.

1 import java.util.Scanner
2
3 public static ReadValue {
4 public static void main(String[] args) {
5 Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
6 int n;
7 do
8 System.out.print("Enter a number between 1 and 10 = ");
9 n = nextInt();
10 } while(n < 1 && n > 10 );
11 }
12 }

Answer: (for each correct line 0.5, and for each correction 1.5)

Line # Error Correction

1 import java.util.Scanner;

3 public class ReadValue {

7 do {

9 n = input.nextInt();

10 } while(n < 1 || n > 10 );

Question 3: To be answered in (25) Minutes [ ] / 8 Marks

Write a Java method called abbreviate that receives a non-empty alphabetic string and returns its
abbreviation; a string composed of capitalized first letter of each word from the original string.

Call examples:

System.out.println(abbreviate("meters"));
System.out.println(abbreviate("Saudi Arabia"));
System.out.println(abbreviate("Stock keeping unit"));

Will output:

M
SA
SKU

You are not asked to write a main method.

Answer:

public static String abbreviate(String s) // 1 mark: header

{
// 1 mark: extract the first letter of the first word
String abbrev = s.substring(0,1); //or: ""+ s.charAt(0);

// 1 mark: find the index of the 2 nd word

int index = s.indexOf(" ");

while ( index != -1) // 1 mark

{
// 1 mark: extract the first letter of the following word
// 1 mark: accumulate the extracted letter with the previous ones
abbrev += s.charAt(index + 1);

// 1 mark: find the index of the following word

index = s.indexOf(" ", index + 1);
}
// 1 mark: return the accumulated string after its capitalization
return abbrev.toUpperCase();
}

Question 4: To be answered in (45) Minutes [ ] / 12 Marks

The program purpose of this question is to help students in elementary school to test their knowledge
about multiplication tables. Complete the following program by defining 2 methods fillAnswers and
correctAnswers where their descriptions are respectively provided in the next 2 pages.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class MultiplicationTest

{
public static Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a number between 1 and 10 = ");
int n = input.nextInt();

System.out.println("\nEnter your answers:");

int[] answers = new int[10];
fillAnswers(answers, n);

System.out.println("\nCheck your answers:");

System.out.printf("\nYour score is %d/10%n", correctAnswers(answers, n));
}

// fillAnswers method definition

...

// correctAnswers method definition

...
}

 a) Write a Java method called fillAnswers that takes an empty array answers (length = 10)
and a number n, then asks a student to enter the result of operation related to the multiplication
of the number n by numbers from 1 to 10 (n x 1, n x 2, n x 3, ..., n x 10). This
method saves the entered values in answers array.

Running example (student answers are entered after the “?” mark):

Enter your answers:

3 x 1 ? 3
3 x 2 ? 6
3 x 3 ? 9
3 x 4 ? 12
3 x 5 ? 16
3 x 6 ? 18
3 x 7 ? 21
3 x 8 ? 25
3 x 9 ? 27
3 x 10 ? 30

Answer (6 marks):

// student may define and use his/her own Scanner variable

public static void fillAnswers(int[] a, int n) // 1.5 mark
{
for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) // 1.5 mark
{
System.out.printf("%d x %d = ", n, i+1); // 1 mark

a[i] = input.nextInt(); // 2 marks: input (1) & assignment (1)

}
}

 a) Write a Java method called correctAnswers that takes an array answers (length = 10,
supposed already filled by fillAnswers method) and a number n (multiplied number related to
the results in answers), then prints students answers and checks whether if they were true
(correct answer) or false (wrong answer). The method must count and return the number of
correct answers.

Running example:

Check your answers:

3 x 1 = 3 => true
3 x 2 = 6 => true
3 x 3 = 9 => true
3 x 4 = 12 => true
3 x 5 = 16 => false
3 x 6 = 18 => true
3 x 7 = 21 => true
3 x 8 = 25 => false
3 x 9 = 27 => true
3 x 10 = 30 => true

Your score is 8/10

Answer (6 marks):

public static int correctAnswers(int[] a, int n) // 0.5 mark

{
int count = 0; // 0.5 mark: define/init the counter

for(int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) // 0.5 mark

{

boolean correct = false; // 0.5 mark: define/init bool var

if ( a[i] == n * (i+1) ) // 1 mark: check answers’ correctness

{
correct = true; // 0.5 mark: update bool var

++count; // 0.5 mark: increment the counter

}

// 1 mark: print result + evaluation (true of false)

System.out.printf("%d x %d = %d => %b%n", n, i+1, a[i], correct);
}
return count; // 1 mark
}
