Question 1: Fill in the blanks (30)

a) What is a Register? (2)

A small memory area in the processor

b) Can the following conversions involving type castings are allowed? If yes, find the converted results. (4)

NOTE: ASCII value of ‘A’ is 65, ‘B’ is 66, ‘C’ is 67, ‘D’ is 68 and so on.

ASCII value of ‘a’ is 97, ‘b’ is 98, ‘c’ is 99, ‘d’ is 100 and so on.

ASCII value of ‘0’ is 48, ‘1’ is 49, ‘2’ is 50 and so on.

char c = 'G';
int i = (int)c;

float f = 945.34f;
int x = (int)f;

double d = 475.34;
int y = (int)d;

int i = 54;
char c = (char)i;
(1) i = 71

(2) x = 945

(3) y = 475

(4) c = ‘6’

c) How would you write the following arithmetic expression in Java? (2)

4/(3*(r+34)) – 9*(a + b*c) + (3 + d * (2 + a))/(a + b * d)

d) What is the default data type of the literal value 0.46? (1)

double

e) What is the default data type of the literal value 46? (1)

int

f) Identify and fix the errors in the following code: (6)

public class Test{

public void main (String []args){
i = 100;
double j
j = 45.78;
k = j + i;
System.out.prtin(“the value of k is ” k);

}
Solution:
public class Test{
public static void main (String []args){
int i = 100;
double j;
j = 45.78;
double k = j + i;
System.out.print(“the value of k is ” + k);
}
}

g) What is the output of the following code: (5)

System.out.println("1" + 1);
System.out.println('1' + 1);
System.out.println("1" + 1 + 1);
System.out.println("1" + (1 + 1));
System.out.println('1' + 1 + 1);
11
50
111
12
51
h) Declare a double variable named miles with initial value 100; (1)

double miles = 100;

i) Declare a double constant named MILES_PER_KILOMETER with value 1.609; (1)

final double MILES_PER_KILOMETER = 1.609;

j) Consider the following code:

public class test{

public static
int i = 10;
int m = 12 * i++;
int j = 34;
int n = 23 + --j;
What are the values of the following variables after the execution of the above code? (4)

i = 11

m = 120

j = 33

n = 56

k) Syntax errors are those errors that are detected by compiler. (1)

l) Division by Zero is run time error. (1)

m) Logical errors are done by the programmer and are hard to identify. (1)

Question 2: Programming (20)

a) Write a Java program TicTacToeBoardPrinter that prints a Tic Tac Toe board like (10)
+––––+––––+––––+
| | | |
+––––+––––+––––+
| | | |
+––––+––––+––––+
| | | |
+––––+––––+––––+
public class TicTacToeBoardPrinter{
public static void main (String []args){
System.out.println(“+ – – – – + – – – – + – – – – +”);
System.out.println(“| | | |”);
System.out.println(“+ – – – – + – – – – + – – – – +”);
System.out.println(“| | | |”);
System.out.println(“+ – – – – + – – – – + – – – – +”);
System.out.println(“| | | |”);
System.out.println(“+ – – – – + – – – – + – – – – +”);
}
}
b) Finding runway length: Given an airplane’s acceleration a and take-off speed v, you can compute the
minimum runway length needed for an airplane to take off using the following formula:

Write a Java program that prompts the user on console to enter v in meters/second (m/s) and the
acceleration a in meters/second squared and displays the minimum runway length. (10)
import java.util.Scanner;
public class RunwayLength{
public static void main (String []args){
double v, a, length;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print (“Enter the value of Speed of Airplane in meter per second : ”);
v = input.nextDouble();
System.out.print (“Enter the value of Acceleration of Airplane in meter per second square : ”);
a = input.nextDouble();
length = (v * v)/(2 * a);
System.out.print(“The minimum length of the runway is ” + length);
}
}
