Question 1:
(a) Define abstraction. [2]

Ans. Abstraction refers to specifying the behaviour of a class without going into the details of the implementation.

(b) Differentiate between searching and sorting. [2]

Ans. In searching, we are provided with an array which contains multiple elements and asked to find the index of a specific element.
In sorting, an array is provided and we are asked to order the elements in either ascending or descending order.

(c) Write a difference between the functions isUpperCase() and toUpperCase(). [2]

Ans. Both isUpperCase() and toUpperCase() are functions of the Character class.
isUpperCase() accepts a character and returns true if the provided character is uppercase. Else, it returns false.
Ex:

boolean b1 = Character.isUpperCase('a');
boolean b2 = Character.isUpperCase('A');
System.out.println(b1 + " " + b2);

will print

false true

(d) How are private members of a class different from public members? [2]

Ans. Private members of a class can be accessed only by the methods of the class in which they are declared. While public members can be accessed outside of the class also.

Question 1.

(a) Which of the following are valid comments? [2]
(i) /* comment */
(ii) /*comment
(iii) //comment
(iv) */ comment */

Ans. (i) and (iii) are valid comments. (i) is a multi line comment and (iii) is a single line comment.

(b) What is meant by a package? Name any two Java Application Programming Interface packages. [2]
Ans. Related classes are grouped together as a package. A package provides namespace management and access protection.
Some of the Java API packages – java.lang, java,util and java,io

(c) Name the primitive data type in Java that is:
(i) a 64-bit integer and is used when you need a range of values wider than those provided by int.
(ii) a single 16-bit Unicode character whose default value is ‘\u0000′ [2]
Ans. (i) long
(ii) char

(d) State one difference between floating point literals float and double. [2]
Ans. (i) Float requires 4 bytes of storage while double requires 8 bytes.
(ii) Float is of single precision while double is of double precision.

(e) Find the errors in the given program segment and re-write the statements correctly to assign values to an integer array. [2]

int a = new int( 5 );
for( int i=0; i<=5; i++ ) a[i]=i;

Ans. The corrected program segment is

int a = new int[5];
for( int i=0; i<=4; i++ ) a[i]=i;

Error 1: The size of an array is specified using square brackets [] and not parentheses ().
Error 2: Since the array is of length 5, the indices range from 0 to 4. The loop variable i is used as an index to the array and in the given program segment, it takes values from 0 to 5. a[4] would result in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException. Therefore, the loop condition should be changed to i<=4. The given program segment creates an array of size 5 and stores numbers from 0 to 4 in the array.

Question 2. (a) Operators with higher precedence are evaluated before operators with relatively lower precedence. Arrange the operators given below in order of higher precedence to lower precedence. [2]

This Paper is divided into two Sections.
Attempt all questions from Section A and any four questions from Section B. The intended marks for questions or parts of questions are given in brackets [ ].

SECTION A (40 Marks)

Attempt all questions.

Question 1

(a) Give one example each of a primitive data type and a composite data type. [2]
Ans. Primitive Data Types – byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean
Composite Data Type – Class, Array, Interface

(b) Give one point of difference between unary and binary operators. [2]
Ans. A unary operator requires a single operand whereas a binary operator requires two operands.
Examples of Unary Operators – Increment ( ++ ) and Decrement ( — ) Operators
Examples of Binary Operators – +, -, *, /, %

(c) Differentiate between call by value or pass by value and call by reference or pass by reference. [2]
Ans. In call by value, a copy of the data item is passed to the method which is called whereas in call by reference, a reference to the original data item is passed. No copy is made. Primitive types are passed by value whereas reference types are passed by reference.

Computer Applications
Class X

SECTION – A (40 Marks)

Answer all questions from this Section

Question 1.

(a) What is the difference between an object and a class? [2]
Ans. 1. A class is a blueprint or a prototype of a real world object. It contains instance variables and methods whereas an object is an instance of a class.
2. A class exists in the memory of a computer while an object does not.
3. There will be only one copy of a class whereas multiple objects can be instantiated from the same class.

(b) What does the token ‘keyword’ refer to in the context of Java? Give an example for keyword. [2]
Ans. Keywords are reserved words which convey special meanings to the compiler and cannot be used as identifiers. Example of keywords : class, public, void, int

(c) State the difference between entry controlled loop and exit controlled loop. [2]
Ans. In an entry controlled loop, the loop condition is checked before executing the body of the loop. While loop and for loop are the entry controlled loops in Java.
In exit controlled loops, the loop condition is checked after executing the body of the loop. do-while loop is the exit controlled loop in Java.

(d) What are the two ways of invoking functions? [2]
Ans. If the function is static, it can be invoked by using the class name. If the function is non-static, an object of that class should be created and the function should be invoked using that object.

(e) What is difference between / and % operator? [2]
Ans. / is the division operator whereas % is the modulo (remainder) operator. a / b gives the result as quotient obtained on diving a by b whereas a % b gives the remainder obtained on diving a by b.

Question 2.

(a) State the total size in bytes, of the arrays a [4] of char data type and p [4] of float data type. [2]

Question 1.

(a) Define the term Byte Code. [2]
Ans. The Java compiler compiles the source programs into an intermediate code called the Java Byte Code which is interpreted by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

(b) What do you understand by type conversion? [2]
Ans. Type conversion or casting is the conversion of the data type of a literal from one type to another. There are tow types of types of casting – implicit casting and explicit casting.

(c) Name two jump statements and their use. [2]
Ans. break and continue are the two jump statements in Java. break is used to force early termination of a loop. continue is used to move to the next iteration of the loop while skipping the remaining code in the current iteration.

(d) What is Exception ? Name two Exception Handling Blocks. [2]
Ans. An Exception is an error which occurs during the execution of a program. The exception handling blocks are try, catch and finally.
