 Question 2 [20]
(i) What do you understand by type conversion? How is implicit conversion different from explicit
conversion?
Ans. The process of converting one predefined type into another is called type conversion. In an implicit conversion,
the result of a mixed mode expression is obtained in the higher most data type of the variables without any
intervention by the user.

(ii) Write two advantages of using functions in a program.

Ans. 1.Methods help to manage the complexity of the program by dividing a bigger complex task into smaller,
easily understood tasks.
2. Methods help with code reusability.

(iii) What is an array? Write a statement to declare an String array of 20 elements.

Ans. An array is a structure to store a number of values of the same data type in contiguous memory locations.
The following statement declares a String array of 20 elements:
String n[] = new String[20];

(iv) What are the values of b and t when the following statements are executed?
int a = 54, b = 22;
boolean b = (a < b)? true : false;
int t = (a < b)? a : b

Ans.
b=false
ps
t=22
(v) Arrange the following primitive data types in descending order of their size:
(i) char (ii) byte (iii) double (iv) int

Ans.
double>int>char>byte
Ki
(vi) Rewrite the following program segment using while instead of for statement.
int s=0, i;
for(i = 1; i <= 5; i++){
s+=i;
System.out.println(s);
}

Ans.
int s = 0, i;
while (i <= 5) {
s+= i;
System.out.println(s);
i++;
}

(vii)
(a) Name the mathematical function which is used to find cosine of an angle given in radians.
(b) Name the string function which finds the position of last occurrence of a character in a string.
Ans.
(a) Math.acos()
(b) lastIndexOf()

(viii) Differentiate between length and length() ?

Ans.

z = 78
