Q.14 Difference between = and == operator in java. 2

= is an assignment operator.

10 will check whether the value of a is 10.

Q.17 The following code has some errors(s). rewrite the correct code underlying 2
all corrections. Also categorize the loop as entry/exit control loops.
int p
P=14;
do
P= p-2
System. out. display (p);
While(p>=2);

Int p;
P=14;
do
{
P=p-2;
System. out. display(p);
}
While(p>=2);
Exit control loop.

Q.18 Define control flow? What are the 3 types of control flow statement 2
supported by java programming language.

Control flow statement, changes or break the flow of execution by

implementing decision making, looping, and branching your program to
execute particular blocks of code based on the conditions.

3 types of control flow statements are –

1. Decision- making statements: if, if-else, nested if else, switch.
2. Looping statements: for, while, do-while.
3. Branching statements: break, continue, and return.

Q.19 Write a program in java to find area of a square. 3

int side= 13;
int area_square= side*side;
system.out.print1n (“Area of the square=” +area_square);
}
}

Q.20 Give three differences between while loop and do while loop. 3

While loop
1. A while loop is an entry-controlled loop
2. Body of loop may never be executed
3. The variables in the test condition must be initialized prior to
entering the loop structure.

Do while loop
1. A do-while loop is an exit control loop
2. Body of loop is executed at least once
3. It is not necessary to initialize the variables in the test condition
prior to entering the loop structure.

(1 mark for each difference)

{
System .out.print1n(i);
}
}
}
Q.22 How database management system is useful in education sectors? 3

SECTION C (2x4=8 marks)

(COMPETENCY BASED QUESTION)

Answer any 02 questions out of the given 03 questions

Q.23 What are variable? What are the rules to be followed while naming a variable 1+3
give example?

A variable is placeholder for data that can change its value during program
execution. Technically, a variable is the name for a storage location in the
computer’s internal memory.
1. the first character must be a letter or an underscore (_). you cannot use a
number as the first character.
2. the rest of the variable name can include any letter, any number, or the
underscore. You can’t use any other Characters, including spaces, symbols, and
punctuation marks.
3. java is a case – sensitive language. variable names written in capital letters
differ from variable name with the same spelling but written in small letters. E.g.,
variable named Interest _Rate is treated as an entirely different variable than
one named interest _rate.
4. there’s no limit to the length of variable.
(1 mark for definition.2 marks for correct rule)

Q.24 What is the purpose of default in a switch statement? explain with the 2+2
help of an example.

When none of the case values are equal to the expression of switch
statement then default case is executed. In the example below, value of
number is 4 so case 0, case 1and case2 are not equal to number. hence
print1n statement of default case will get executed printing “value of
number is greater than two” to the console.

Example:

Public class Switch Example {

Public static void main (string [] args) {
Int number = 4;
Switch(number) {
Case 0:
System.out.print1n (“value of number is zero”);
break;
Case 1:
System.out.print1n (“value of number is one”);
break;
Case 2:
System.out.print1n (value of number is two”);
break;
Default:
System.out.print1n (“value of number is greater than two”);
break;
}
}
}
