Section-B (60 Marks)

(Attempt any four questions from this Section.)

The answers in this section should consist of the programs in either Blue J 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]
Design a class with the following specifications:
Class name: Student
Member variables: name - name of student
age - age of student mks -
marks obtained
stream - stream allocated
(Declare the variables using appropriate data types)
Member methods:
void accept() - Accept name, age and marks using methods of Scanner class.
void allocation()- Allocate the stream as per following criteria:
mks stream
> = 300 Science and Computer
> = 200 and < 300 Commerce and Computer
> = 75 and 200 Arts an Animation
< 75 Try Again
void print() - Display Student name, age, mks and stream allocated. Call
all the above methods in main method using an object.
Question 4 [15]
Define a class to accept 10 characters from a user. Using bubble sort technique arrange them in ascending order. Display the
sorted array and original array.
 19
Question 5 [15]
Define a class to overload the function print as follows:
void print() to print the following format 1
11 1
2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3
4 4 4 4
5 5 5 5
void print(int n) To check whether the number is a lead number. A lead number is
the one whose sum of even digits are equal to sum of odd digits.
e.g. 3669 odd digits sum = 3 + 9 = 12
even digits sum = 6 + 6 = 12
3669 is a lead number.
Question 6 [15]
Define a class to accept a String and print the number of digits, alphabets and special characters in the string.
Example: S = “KAPILDEV@83”
Output: Number of digits – 2
Number of Alphabets – 8 Number
of Special characters – 1
Question 7 [15]
Define a class to accept values into on array of double data type of size 20. Accept a double value from user and search in
the array using linear search method. If value is found display message “Found” with its position where it is present in the
array. Otherwise display message “not found”.
Question 8 [15]
Define a class to accept values in integer array of size 10. Fin sum of one digit number and sum of two digit numbers entered.
Display them separately.
Example: Input: a[ ] = [2, 12, 4, 9, 18, 25, 3, 32, 20, 1]
Output: Sum of one digit numbers : 2 + 4 + 9 + 3 + 1 = 19
Sum of two digit numbers : 12 + 18 + 25 + 32 + 20 = 107
