SECTION B
(Answer any four questions from this Section.)
The answers in this section should consist of the programs in either BlueJ environment or any
program environment with java as the base.
Each program should be written using variable description / mnemonic codes so that the logic of
the program is clearly depicted.
Flowcharts and algorithms are not required.
Question 3 [15]
Define a class called with the following
specifications: Class name: Eshop Member
variables:
String name: name of the item purchased
double price: Price of the item purchased
Member methods:
void accept(): Accept the name and the price of the item using the methods of Scanner
class.
void calculate(): To calculate the net amount to be paid by a customer, based on the following
criteria:
Price Discount
1000 – 25000 5.0%
25001 – 57000 7.5 %
57001 – 100000 10.0%
More than 100000 15.0 %
void display(): To display the name of the item and the net amount to be paid.
Write the main method to create an object and call the above methods.
Question 4 [15]
Define a class to accept values in integer array of size 10. Sort them in an ascending order
using selection sort technique. Display the sorted array.
Question 5 [15]
Define a class to accept a string and convert it into uppercase. Count and display the number of
vowels in it.
Input: robotics
Output: ROBOTICS
Number of vowels: 3
Question 6 [15]
Define a class to accept values into a 3×3 array and check if it is a special array. An array is
a special array if the sum of the even elements = sum of the odd elements.
Example:
A[][]={{ 4 ,5, 6}, { 5 ,3, 2}, { 4, 2, 5}};
Sum of even elements = 4+6+2+4+2 =18
Sum of odd elements= 5+5+3+5=18
Question 7
Define a class to accept a 3 digit number and check whether it is a duck number or not. [15] Note:
A number is a duck number if it has zero in it Example1:
Input: 2083
Output: Invalid
Example 2:
Input: 103
Output: Duck number
Question 8 [15]
Define a class to overload the method display as follows:
void display(): To print the following format using nested loop
1
12
123
1234
12345
void display(int n): To print the square root of each digit of the given number
Example: n = 4329
output – 3.0
1.414213562
1.732050808
2.0
