ICSE 10th Computer Applications 2019 Solved Paper

SECTION A (40 Marks)

Answer all questions from this Section

Question 1:
(a) Name any two basics Principle of Object-Oriented Programming [2]
Ans. Encapsulation and Polymorphism

ICSE Class 10th Computer Applications ( Java ) 2019 Solved Question Paper

(b) Write a difference between Unary and Binary Operator [2]
Ans. Operators that acts on one operand are referred to as Unary Operators while Binary Operators acts upon two operand
Unary + or Unary – , increment/decrement are the example of Unary operator While binary operator +,-,*,/ and % are the example of binary operators , (+) adds values of its operands
(c) Name the keywords which: [2]
(i) indicates that a method has no return type
(ii) makes the variable as a class variable
Ans. (i)void
(ii) static (static variables are also known as Class variables.)

(d) Write the memory capacity (storage size) of short and float data type in bytes [2]
Ans. short data type is of 2 bytes and float is of 4 bytes
(e) Identify and name the following tokens: [2]
(i) public
(ii) ‘a’
(iii) ==
(iv) { }
Ans. (i) public- Access Specifier
(ii) ‘a’- character
(iii) == is a Relational operator
(iv) { } is a Curly braces, Java uses them for surrounding the bodies of loops, methods and classes.
Question 2
(a) Differentiate between if else if and switch case statements [2]
Ans. Expression inside if or else if statement decide whether to execute the statements inside if block or under else if block. On the other hand, expression inside switch statement decide which case to execute.
You can have multiple if statement for multiple choice of statements. In switch you only have one expression for the multiple choices.
(b) Give the output of the following code[2]
String P=”20″,Q=”19″;
int a=Integer.parseInt(P);
int b=Integer.valueOf(Q);
System.out.println(a+””+b);
Ans. 2019
(c) What are the various types of errors in Java [2]
Ans. (i) Syntax or Compile time error
(ii) Logical error
(iii) Exception or Runtime error
(d) State the data type and value of res after the following is executed [2]
char ch=’9′;
res = Character.isDigit(ch);
Ans. Data type is boolean and the value in res will be true

(e) What is the difference between linear search & binary search technique [2]
Ans. Input elements needs to be sorted in Binary Search and not in Linear Search
Linear search does the sequential access whereas Binary search access data randomly.
Question 3
(a) Write a Java expression for the following: [2]
|x²+2xy|
Ans. Math.abs(Math.pow(x, 2)+2*x*y));
(b) Write the return data type of the following functions: [2]
(i)startsWith()
(ii)random()

ICSE Class 10th Computer Applications ( Java ) 2019 Solved Question Paper

Ans.(i) boolean
(ii)double
(c)If the value of basic = 1500, what will be the value of tax after the following statement is executed [2]

tax = basic > 1200 ? 200 : 100

Ans. 200
(d) Give the output of the following code and mention how many times loop will execute ? [2]

int i;
for(i=5;i>=1;i--)
{
        if(i%2==1)
    continue;
    System.out.print(i+" ");
}

Ans. Answer will be 4 2
Explanation: So i is initialized as 5 which is greater than 1 which means body of for loop will execute 5 times, since the keyword continue is used in body of if & expression 5 % 2 == 1 is true , then if will get executed for the very first time & since because of continue (the continue keyword causes control to immediately jump to the update statement.) the next statement just after the body of if will not be executed.
(e) State the difference between call by value and call by reference: [2]
Ans. Call by Value:(i) While calling a function, we pass values of variables to it.
(ii) In this, the value of each variable in calling function is copied into corresponding dummy variables of the called function
Call By Reference: While calling a function, instead of passing the values of variables, we pass address of variables(location of variables) to the function known as “Call By References.
(f) Give the Output of the following: [2]
Math.sqrt(Math.max(9,16))
Ans. 4.0
(g) Write the output of the following: [2]
String s1=”phoenix”;String s2=”island”;
System.out.println(s1.substring(0).concat(s2.substring(2)));
System.out.println(s2.toUpperCase());
Ans. s1.substring(0) is phoenix & s2.substring(2) is land , concat() function will concatenate “phoenix” & “land”
From s2.toUpperCase(), “island” will be converted into upper case
Output: phoenixland
ISLAND
(h) Evaluate the following expression if the value of x=2,y=3 and z=1.
v = x + – -z + y++ + y [2]
Ans. v = x+ – -z + y++ + y
v=2 + 0 + 3 + 4
v=9
(i) String x[]={“Artificial intelligence”,”IOT”,”Machine learning”,”Big data”}: [2]
Give the output of the following statements:
(i) System.out.println(x[3]);
(ii)System.out.println(x.length);
Ans. (i) Big data
(ii) 4
(j) What is meant by a package.Give an example [2]
Ans. Package in Java is a mechanism to encapsulate a group of classes, sub packages and interfaces., examples : lang , io , util etc..

SECTION B (60 Marks)

Attempt 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 descriptions/Mneumonic codes so that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flow-charts and algorithms are not required.

Question 4

String name: to store the name of the customer.
long mobno: to store customer’s mobile number.
double cost: to store the cost of the item purchased.
double dis: to store the discount amount.
double amount: to store the amount to be paid after discount.
Methods:
ShowRoom(): default constructor to initialize the data members
void input(): to input customer name, mobile number, cost
void calculate(): to calculate discount on the cost of purchased items, based on the following criteria

void display()- To display customer, mobile number, amount to be paid after discount.
Write a main() method to create an object of the class and call the above methods.
Ans.

import java.util.Scanner;

	ShowRoom()		//default constructor
	{
		name="";
		mobno=0L;
		cost=0.0d;
		dis=0.0d;
		amount=0.0d;
	}
	void input()
	{
		Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
		System.out.print("Enter your name: ");
		name=kb.nextLine();
		System.out.print("Enter your Mobile Number: ");
		mobno=kb.nextLong();
		System.out.print("Enter cost of item purchased: ");
		cost=kb.nextDouble();
	}
	void calculate()
	{
		if(cost<=10000)
		{
			dis = cost * 5/100;
			amount = cost - dis;
		}
		else if(cost>10000&&cost<=20000)
		{
			dis = cost * 10/100;
			amount = cost - dis;
		}
		else if(cost>20000&&cost<=35000)
		{
			dis = cost * 15/100;
			amount = cost - dis;
		}
		else if(cost>35000)
		{
			dis = cost * 20/100;
			amount = cost - dis;
		}
	}
	void display()
	{
		System.out.println("Name of the customer: "+name);
		System.out.println("Mobile number : "+mobno);
		System.out.println("Amount to be paid after discount: "+amount);
	}
}
class UseShowRoom
{
	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
		ShowRoom s = new ShowRoom();
		s.input();
		s.calculate();
		s.display();
	}
}

		int fh,sh,sum_sqr;
		for(int i=1000;i<=9999;i++) //Taking 4 digit numbers only
		{
				fh=i/100;
				sh=i%100;
				sum_sqr=(int)Math.pow((fh+sh),2);
				if(sum_sqr==i)
					System.out.print(i+" ");
