(x) Assertion (A) : Implicit type conversion automatically converts the smaller
datatype to appropriate larger datatype needed in the expression.

a. Both assertion(A) and Reason(R) are correct and Reason (R) is
correct explanation of Assertion.
b. Both assertion(A) and Reason(R) are correct but Reason (R) is not
the correct explanation of Assertion.
c. Assertion (A) is true Reason(R ) is false.
d. Assertion (A) is false Reason(R ) is true.
Question 2 Answer the following
(i) State the method that: [2]
a) converts a String to a primitive float data type.
b) checks if the entered character is space, tab or newline
Ans:
(a) Float.parseFloat(String) / Float.valueOf(String)
(b) Character.isWhitespace(char)
(ii) Differentiate between [2]

Character.toUpperCase(‘x’) and “Hello”.toUpperCase() methods.
Ans : Character.toUpperCase(‘x’) – is a character class method. Has a
character passing into it. Returns a character value.
“Hello”.toUpperCase() – is a String class method. It is called by string
object. It returns a String value.
(iii) Give the output of : [2]
System.out.println("Add:" + 2 + 2);
System.out.println("Add :" +(2 + 2));
Solution Add:22
Add :4
(iv) Write a statement each to perform the following task on a string: [2]
a) Extract the second last character of a word stored in the variable wd.
Ans: char ch=wd.charAt(wd.length()-2);
b) Check if the second character of a string str is in uppercase.
Ans: if(Character.isUpperCase(str.charAt(1));
(v) What is Autoboxing? Give an example. [2]
Ans: Converting a primitive data to wrapper class object is known as
autoboxing.
Ex: int x=10;
Integer obj = new Integer(x);
SECTION B (30 Marks)
Attempt any 2 questions from this section
Question 3 [15]
Define a class to input a string and convert it into uppercase and print the pair of
vowels and number of pair of vowels occurring in the string.
Example:
Input:
“BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES”
Output: EA, AU, IE
ICSE 4
No. of pair of vowels: 3
Ans:
import java.util.Scanner;
class DoubleLetter
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner SC= new Scanner(System.in);
String input;
char ch1,ch2;
int i,l,c=0;
System.out.println("Enter a String:");
input= SC.nextLine();
input= input.toUpperCase();
l =input.length();
for(i=0;i<l-1;i++)
{
ch1=input.charAt(i);
ch2= input.charAt(i+1);
if("AEIOU".indexOf(ch1)>=0 && "AEIOU".indexOf(ch2)>=0)
{ System.out.println(ch1+ch2);
c++; }
}
System.out.println("No of pairs of vowels="+c);
}
Question 4 [15]
Write a program in java to input 10 characters and find the frequency of uppercase
and lowercase characters separately and concatenate only those characters which are
either a letter or a digit
For example:
Input: A, #, 1, b, c, d, E, F, %, H
Output:
Uppercase Frequency: 4
Lowercase Frequency: 3
Concatenated String : #1%

Ans:
import java.util.Scanner;
class UpLoSp
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
Scanner SC= new Scanner(System.in);
String input,ns="";
char ch1;
int i,l,sp=0,up=0,lo=0;;
System.out.println("Enter a String:");
input= SC.nextLine();
l =input.length();
for(i=0;i<l;i++)
{
ch1=input.charAt(i);
if(Character.isUpperCase(ch1))
up++;
else
if(Character.isLowerCase(ch1))
lo++;
else ns=ns+ch1;
}
System.out.println("UpperCase Frequncy"+up);
System.out.println("LowerCase Frequncy"+lo);
System.out.println("Concatenated String :"+ ns);
}
}
Question 5 [15]
Write a program to accept a sentence and print only the first letter of each word of the
sentence in capital letters separated by a full stop.
Example :
Input : “This is a cat”
Output : T.I.A.C.
Ans:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Prog5 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
ICSE 6
System.out.print("Enter a sentence: ");
String sentence = sc.nextLine();
String result = "";
sentence = sentence.toUpperCase();
result += sentence.charAt(0) + ".";
for (int i = 1; i < sentence.length(); i++) {
if (sentence.charAt(i) == ' ') {
result += sentence.charAt(i + 1) + ".";
}
}
System.out.println(result);
}
}
