 (xix) Assertion: In Java, the "equals" method is used to compare the content of two String objects
for equality.
Reason: The "equals" method in the String class is overridden to compare the content of the
strings, not just their references in memory.
(a) Both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is a correct explanation of the
assertion.
(b) Both the assertion and reason are correct, but the reason is NOT a correct explanation of the
assertion.
(c) The assertion is correct, but the reason is incorrect.

method in Java?
(a) Math.random() returns a random integer between 0 (inclusive) and 1 (exclusive).
(b) Math.random() returns a random double between 0.0 (inclusive) and 1.0 (exclusive).
(c) Math.random() generates a random boolean value.
(d) Math.random() returns a random long value.

Question 2. [20]

(ii) Evaluate the expression when int x=2:
int y=x+x++ + ++x+x;
(iii) The following code segment checks if the given year is a leap year or not.
[However the code has errors. Fix the code so that it compiles and runs correctly.]
public static booleanisOdd(int n){
boolean result = False; if (n%2==1)
result=true; return result;
}
(iv) Harsh is trying to determine the average of three numbers.
However, the following code segment is not giving the correct answer. How the program can be
modified to get the correct answer?
Scanner in = new Scanner( System.in );
float number1=in.nextFloat();
float number2=in.nextFloat();

SECTION B (60 Marks)

(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 ]
Design a class Bus_Ticket with following description:

Instance variables/s data members:

String name : To store the name of the customer

String type : To store the type of reservation, customer wants to travel
long mobno : To store customer’s mobile number
int amt : To store basic amount of ticket
int totalamt : To store the amount to be paid after updating the original amount

Member methods
void accept ( ) : To take input for name, type, mobile number and amount
void update ( ) : To update the amount as per the type selected
Type Amount
AC_Delux 700
AC_Executive 500
AC_Sleeper 250
Sleeper 100

void display( ) — To display all details of a customer sch as name, type, total amount and mobile
number.

Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.

Question 4. [15
]
Create a Java program that overloads the triangle() method to display a triangle pattern. The method
should have two variants:
void triangle(int n): This version of the method should take an integer 'n' and display a triangle
pattern of 'n' rows.

PRACTICE SHEET- ASHISH 4

 Example for n=3:
1
23
456
void triangle(String text): This version of the method should take a string 'text' and display a
triangle pattern using the provided string.
For example text=”SJA”
S
SJ
SJA
Question 5. [ 15 ]
A number is Dudney if the cube of the sum of digits is equal to the number.
Design a Java program that takes an integer as input and checks whether it is a Dudney
Number or not. If the number entered is negative display “Invalid Input”.
Example: 512
5+1+2=8 => 83=512, 8 is a dudney number

Question 6 [ 15 ]
Write a program to prompt the user to create and load an of size M x N, where M and
N are provided by the user at runtime. Compute and display the sum of boundary and
non-boundary elements separately.

Question 7. [15 ]
Write a program to enter a string, convert it in to uppercase character and print that word
only which has same character in starting and ending.

Question 8. [ 15 ]
Write a Java program to create an array to store N numbers and determine whether the array
is sorted in ascending order or not. Your program should take user input for the number of
elements (N) and the array values. Then, it should check if the elements in the array are
arranged in ascending order. If they are, the program should output that the array is sorted in
ascending order; otherwise, it should display that the array is not sorted in ascending order.
