Q1 Choose the Correct Answer — MCQ [20 Marks]

i) The act of using essential features without background details (b) abstraction
is called __.
Abstraction hides implementation details, exposing only essential functionality to the user.

ii) Procedure oriented programming gives importance to __. (c) Instructions and data
POP revolves around functions (instructions) and the data they operate on — both are equally central.

iii) Java applications __. (c) are platform independent

Java compiles to bytecode which runs on the JVM, making programs run on any OS without recompilation.

iv) A program that translates high-level code to machine code is (a) compiler
called __.
A compiler translates the entire source program at once into machine code. A JVM uses an interpreter/JIT internally.

v) __ represents a real-world entity with characteristics and (b) An object

behaviour.
An object is an instance of a class that holds state (attributes) and behaviour (methods).

vi) __ is a template to create similar objects sharing common (a) A class

characteristics.
A class is a blueprint defining structure and behaviour. Objects are created from it.

vii) Which of the following is a keyword in Java? (c) break

'break' is a reserved keyword. 'Switch' (capital S), 'FOR' (must be lowercase), 'object' (not a keyword) are invalid.

viii) Which of the following is NOT a legal identifier in Java? (b) new
'new' is a reserved keyword and cannot be used as an identifier. _test, $amount, a_b are all legal.

ix) Which of the following is NOT a binary operator? (d) ! — Logical NOT is a unary operator
! operates on a single operand (unary). &&, >, and * all require two operands (binary).

x) [Link]("Six ="+3+3); gives: (c) Six =33

String + int = String concatenation. "Six ="+3 = "Six =3", then +3 = "Six =33". Left-to-right evaluation.

xi) Keyword used to include a class from another package? (c) import
'import' brings external classes/packages into the current source file.

xii) Symbol for single-line comment in Java? (c) //

// starts a single-line comment. /* */ is block comment. /** */ is Javadoc comment.

xiii) Value of [Link](44.6)? (b) 44.0

[Link]() returns the largest double value <= the argument. floor(44.6) = 44.0 (always returns double).

xiv) Value of [Link](-4.9)? (c) -4.0

[Link]() returns the smallest double >= argument. The smallest integer >= -4.9 is -4, so -4.0.

—1—
xv) A sequence of statements in curly brackets is called __. (a) a block
A block { } groups multiple statements together and defines a scope.

xvi) Which is mandatory in a switch statement? (d) case

At least one 'case' label is required. break, continue, and default are all optional.

xvii) Which loop executes at least once? (b) do while loop

In do-while, the body runs first, condition checked after. Guarantees minimum one execution.

xviii) Which is NOT a jump statement in Java? (c) void

'void' is a return type keyword, not a jump statement. return, break, continue are jump statements.

xix) Unsolicited emails and advertisements are collectively called (b) spam
__.
Spam = unsolicited bulk messages, typically advertisements sent without recipient's consent.

xx) __ is an attempt to exploit a computer system. (a) hacking

Hacking involves exploiting vulnerabilities to gain unauthorised access to computer systems.

Q2 Short Answer Questions [20 Marks]

i) Find output: [2 Marks]

int a=8, b=-3, c=4;
c+=++a / c++ * ++b*c++;
[Link](c);

Step-by-step evaluation:
→ Initial values: a=8, b=-3, c=4
→ ++a → a becomes 9 (pre-increment, value used = 9)
→ c++ → c used as 4 in expression, then c becomes 5
→ ++b → b becomes -2 (pre-increment, value used = -2)
→ c++ → c used as 5 in expression, then c becomes 6
→ Expression right side = 9/4 * (-2) * 5 = 2 * (-2) * 5 = -20 (integer division: 9÷4=2)
→ c += -20 → c = 6 + (-20) = -14

✔ Output: -14

ii) Write equivalent Java expression for (2x-1)/(x-4): [2 Marks]

(2*x - 1) / (x - 4)
Tip: Use (double)(2*x-1)/(x-4) if a decimal result is needed.

iii) Find output: [2 Marks]

int a=5, b=3, c;
c = a/b*a + a*b/a;
[Link](c);

→ a/b = 5/3 = 1 (integer division)

→ 1*a = 1*5 = 5
→ a*b = 5*3 = 15 → 15/a = 15/5 = 3
→c=5+3=8

✔ Output: 8

—2—
iv) Rewrite using switch statement: [2 Marks]
Original ternary:
int n=20;
double r = (n==20) ? n*2 : (n==30) ? n*30 : n*100;

Switch equivalent:
int n = 20;
double r;
switch(n) {
case 20: r = n * 2;
break;
case 30: r = n * 30;
break;
default: r = n * 100;
}

v) Find output (switch with a=1): [2 Marks]

int a=1;
switch(a) {
case 1: [Link]("A");
case 2: [Link]("B");
default: [Link]("C");
}

→ a=1 matches case 1. No break after case 1 → fall-through to case 2 and default.
→ All three print statements execute sequentially.

✔ Output: ABC

vi) Find output (Math functions): [2 Marks]

double y = [Link](-2.3) + [Link](-18.9);
[Link](y);

→ [Link](-2.3) = -2.0 (smallest integer >= -2.3 is -2)

→ [Link](-18.9) = -19.0 (largest integer <= -18.9 is -19)
→ y = -2.0 + (-19.0) = -21.0

✔ Output: -21.0

vii) Find output (while loop): [2 Marks]

int n, i=5;
while(i<=8) {
n=77;
[Link](i+" "+n);
n=n-1;
i++;
}

→ n is reset to 77 at the start of each iteration, so n-1 never persists.

→ Loop runs for i = 5, 6, 7, 8 (stops when i=9)

✔ Output: 5 77 | 6 77 | 7 77 | 8 77 (each on new line)

viii) Rewrite for loop using while loop: [2 Marks]

Original:
for(int i=100; i>=10; i--) {
[Link](i);
}

While equivalent:

—3—
 int i = 100;
while(i >= 10) {
[Link](i);
i--;
}

ix) Find output (do-while): [2 Marks]

int c=1;
do {
[Link](c++);
} while(c<5);
[Link](c);

→ c=1: print 1, c→2. c<5? YES

→ c=2: print 2, c→3. c<5? YES
→ c=3: print 3, c→4. c<5? YES
→ c=4: print 4, c→5. c<5? NO — exit loop
→ After loop: [Link](c) = print 5

✔ Output: 12345

x) Output + count of 'continue' executions: [2 Marks]

int i;
for(i=1; i<=7; i++) {
if(i%2 == 1)
continue;
[Link](i+" ");
}

→ Odd values (i%2==1): i = 1, 3, 5, 7 → continue executes, print is skipped

→ Even values: i = 2, 4, 6 → printed

✔ Output: 2 4 6 | 'continue' executes 4 times (i = 1, 3, 5, 7)
