True

Question 2

A single line comment is represented by the symbol // (forward slash) in programming.
True

Question 3

BlueJ is a DOS based platform to operate Java program.
False

Question 4

In a decision making program, if checks the true part and else the false.
True

Question 5

You may or may not include java.io.* package in a Stream Reader Class program.
False

Predict the output of the given snippet, when executed

Question 1

int x = 1,y = 1;
if(n>0)    
{           
x=x+1;    
y=y+1;     
}

What will be the value of x and y, if n assumes a value (i) 1 (ii) 0?

Output

When n is 1:
x is 2 and y is 2

When n is 0:
x is 1 and y is 1

Explanation

When n is 1, if (n>0) is true. So the statements x=x+1; and y=y+1; are executed making the values of x and y as 2.

When n is 0, if (n>0) is false. Statements x=x+1; and y=y+1; are not executed so values of x and y remain 1.

Question 2

int b=3,k,r;
float a=15.15,c=0;    
if(k==1)              
{                     
r=(int)a/b;           
System.out.println(r);
}                     
else                  
{                     
c=a/b;                
System.out.println(c);

Output

Syntax Error

Explanation

There are 2 syntax errors in this program:

Variable k is not initialized with any value before using it in the if check.
The closing curly brace is missing for the compound statement block of else part.

Question 3

int a=1,b=1,m=10,n=5;
if((a==1)&&(b==0))
{
System.out.println((m+n)); 
System.out.println((m-n));
}
if((a==1)&&(b==1))
{
System.out.println((m*n)); 
System.out.println((m%n));
}

Output

50
0

Explanation

The condition of the statement if((a==1)&&(b==0)) evaluates to false as b is not equal to 0. Statements inside its block are not executed. Condition of next if statement if((a==1)&&(b==1)) is true as both a and b are 1. So statements in its block are executed, printing the result of m*n (10 * 5 = 50) and m%n (10 % 5 = 0) as the output.

Correct the errors of the given programs

Question 1

class public
{                                     
public static void main(String args{})
{                                     
int a=45,b=70,c=65.45;                
sum=a+b;                              
diff=c-b;                             
System.out.println(sum,diff);         
}                                     
}

Answer

Errors in the snippet

Name of the class can't be public as public is a keyword.
Argument of main function should be an array of Strings.
We cannot assign 65.45 to c as c is an int variable and 65.45 is a floating-point literal.
Variable sum is not defined.
Variable diff is not defined.
println method takes a single argument.

Corrected Program

class A     //1st correction                                 
{                                     
public static void main(String args[])  //2nd correction
{                                     
int a=45,b=70;
double c=65.45;     //3rd correction              
int sum=a+b;        //4th correction
double diff=c-b;    //5th correction
System.out.println(sum + " " + diff);   //6th correction
}                                     
}

Question 2

class Square
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int n=289,r;
r=sqrt(n);
if(n==r)
System.out.println("Perfect Square");
else
System.out.println("Not a Perfect Square");
}
}

Answer

Errors in the snippet

Math.sqrt(n) is the correct way to call sqrt method of Math class.
As Math.sqrt(n) returns double value, so the return value should be explicitly casted to int.

Corrected Program

class Square
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int n=289,r;
r=(int)Math.sqrt(n);    //1st & 2nd Corrections
if(n==r)
System.out.println("Perfect Square");
else
System.out.println("Not a Perfect Square");
}
}

Question 3

class Simplify
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a,b,c,d;
a=10,b=5,c=1,d=2;
c=a2+b2;
d=(a+b)2;
p=c/d;
System.out.println(c + " "+ " "+d+ " " +p);
}
}

Answer

Errors in the snippet

Multiple variable assignment statements cannot be separated by a comma. Semicolon should be used instead.
Variables a2 and b2 are not defined. They should be a and b.
The line d=(a+b)2 needs an operator between (a+b) and 2.
Variable p is not defined.

Corrected Program

class Simplify
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a,b,c,d;
a=10;b=5;c=1;d=2;       //1st correction
c=a+b;                  //2nd correction
d=(a+b) / 2;            //3rd correction
int p=c/d;              //4th correction
System.out.println(c + " "+ " "+d+ " " +p);
}
}

Question 4

class Sample
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int n,p;
float k,r;
n=25;p=12; 
if(n=25)
{
k=pow(p,2)
System.out.println("The value of"+p+ "= "+k);
}
else
{
r=Math.square root(n); 
System.out.println("The value of"+n+ "= "+r);
} 
} 
}

Answer

Errors in the snippet

if(n=25) should be if(n==25)
Correct way to call method pow is Math.pow(p,2);
Return type of Math.pow is double. Variable k is of float type so return value should be explicitly casted to float.
Math.square root(n) should be Math.sqrt(n)
Return type of Math.sqrt is double. Variable r is of float type so return value should be explicitly casted to float.

Corrected Program

class Sample
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int n,p;
float k,r;
n=25;p=12; 
if(n==25)       //1st correction
{
k=(float)Math.pow(p,2); //2nd & 3rd corrections
System.out.println("The value of"+p+ "= "+k);
}
else
{
r=(float)Math.sqrt(n);  //4th & 5th corrections
System.out.println("The value of"+n+ "= "+r);
} 
} 
}

Answer the following questions

Question 1

What are the three ways to input the values in a Java Programming?

Answer

Three ways to input the values in Java Programming are:

Using InputStreamReader class.
Using Scanner class.
Using Command Line Arguments.

Question 2

Write down the syntax with reference to Java Programming:

(a) to accept an integral value from the user from console

Answer

InputStreamReader read = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(read);
int p = Integer.parseInt(in.readLine());

(b) to accept a fractional number from the user from console

Answer

InputStreamReader read = new InputStreamReader(System.in);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(read);
double n = Double.parseDouble(in.readLine());

Answer

if (condition 1) {
    Statement a;
    Statement b;
    ..
}
else {
    Statement c;
    Statement d;
    ..
}

Question 3

Distinguish between Syntax error and Logical error.

Answer

Syntax Errors	Logical Errors
Syntax Errors occur when we violate the rules of writing the statements of the programming language.	Logical Errors occur due to our mistakes in programming logic.
Program fails to compile and execute.	Program compiles and executes but doesn't give the desired output.
Syntax Errors are caught by the compiler.	Logic errors need to be found and corrected by the people working on the program.

Question 4

What are the different types of errors that take place during the execution of a program?

Answer

Logical errors and Run-Time errors occur during the execution of the program.

Question 5

What is a compound statement? Give an example.

Answer

Two or more statements can be grouped together by enclosing them between opening and closing curly braces. Such a group of statements is called a compound statement.

if (a < b) {
            
    /*
    * All statements within this set of braces 
    * form the compound statement
    */

    System.out.println("a is less than b");
    a = 10;
    b = 20;
    System.out.println("The value of a is " + a);
    System.out.println("The value of b is " + b);
            
}

Question 6

Explain with an example the if-else-if construct.

Answer

if-else-if ladder construct is used to test multiple conditions and then take a decision. It provides multiple branching of control. Below is an example of if-else-if:

if (marks < 35)
    System.out.println("Fail");
else if (marks < 60)
    System.out.println("C grade");
else if (marks < 80)
    System.out.println("B grade");
else if (marks < 95)
    System.out.println("A grade");
else
    System.out.println("A+ grade");

Question 7

What is the use of the keyword 'import' in Java programming?

Answer

import keyword is used to import built-in and user-defined packages into our Java program.

Question 8

Write different ways of using comments in Java.

Answer

There are 3 ways to give comments in Java:

Single line comment (//)
Multi line comment
/* Line 1
Line 2 */
Documentation comment
/**Line 1
Line 2*/

Question 9

Mention five features of BlueJ.

Answer

Five features of BlueJ are:

Simple beginner friendly graphical user interface.
It allows creating objects of the class dynamically, invoking their methods and also supplying data to the method arguments if present.
It supports syntax highlighting. (Syntax highlighting means showing the different tokens of the program like keywords, variables, separators, etc. in different colours so that they show up more clearly.)
It facilitates easier debugging as lines causing compilation errors are marked clearly and the error is displayed at the bottom of the window.
It provides a code editor, compiler and debugger integrated into a single tool.

Question 10

What are the points to be taken care while naming a class in a Java program?

Answer

A class name should be a valid Java identifier i.e. it should follow the below three rules:

Name of the class should be a sequence of alphabets, digits, underscore and dollar sign characters only.
It should not start with a digit.
It should not be a keyword or a boolean or null literal.
