COMPUTER APPLICATIONS (Theory) (Two Hours) Answers to this Paper must be written on the paper provided separately. You will not be allowed to write during the first 15 minutes. This time is to be spent in reading the question paper. The time given at the head of this Paper is the time allowed for writing.the answers. 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. (d) Write a Java expression for (under root of 2as+u2) [2] Ans. Math.sqrt ( 2 * a * s + Math.pow ( u, 2 ) ) ( or ) Math.sqrt ( 2 * a * s + u * u ) (e) Name the types of error (syntax, runtime or logical error) in each case given below: (i) Division by a variable that contains a value of zero. (ii) Multiplication operator used when the operation should be division. (iii) Missing semicolon. [2] Ans. (i) Runtime Error (ii) Logical Error (iii) Syntax Error

Question 2 (a)Create a class with one integer instance variable. Initialize the variable using: (i) default constructor (ii) parameterized constructor. [2] Ans.

(b)Complete the code below to create an object of Scanner class. Scanner sc = ___________ Scanner( ___________ ) [2] Ans. Scanner sc = new Scanner ( System.in ) (c) What is an array? Write a statement to declare an integer array of 10 elements. [2] Ans. An array is a reference data used to hold a set of data of the same data type. The following statement declares an integer array of 10 elements int arr[] = new int[10]; (d) Name the search or sort algorithm that: (i) Makes several passes through the array, selecting the next smallest item in the array each time and placing it where it belongs in the array. (ii) At each stage, compares the sought key value with the key value of the middle element of the array. [2] Ans. (i) Selection Sort (ii) Binary Search (e) Differentiate between public and private modifiers for members of a class. [2] Ans. Variables and Methods whwith the public access modie the class also. Question 3 (a) What are the values of x and y when the following statements are executed? [2]
1 int a = 63, b = 36; 2 boolean x = (a < b ) ? true : false; int y= (a > b ) ? a : b ;

Ans. x = false y = 63 (b) State the values of n and ch [2]

1 char c = 'A': 2 int n = c + 1;

Ans. The ASCII value for A is 65. Therefore, n will be 66. (c) What will be the result stored in x after evaluating the following expression? [2]
1 int x=4; 2 x += (x++) + (++x) + x;

Ans. x = x + (x++) + (++x) + x x=4+4+6+6 x = 20 (d) Give the output of the following program segment: [2]
1 double x = 2.9, y = 2.5; 2 System.out.println(Math.min(Math.floor(x), y)); 3 System.out.println(Math.max(Math.ceil(x), y));

Ans. 2.0 3.0 Explanation : Math.min(Math.floor(x), y) = Math.min ( 2.0, 2.5 ) = 2.0 Math.max(Math.ceil(x), y)) = Math.max ( 3.0, 2.5 ) = 3.0 (e) State the output of the following program segment. [2]
1 String s = "Examination"; 2 int n = s.length(); 3 System.out.println(s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n))); 4 System.out.println(s.charAt(2) == s.charAt(6));

Ans. false true Explanation : n = 11 s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n)) = s.startsWith ( nation ) = false ( s.charAt(2) == s.charAt(6) ) = ( a== a ) = true (f) State the method that: (i) Converts a string to a primitive float data type

(ii) Determines if the specified character is an uppercase character [2] Ans. (i) Float.parseFloat(String) (ii) Character.isUpperCase(char) (g) State the data type and values of a and b after the following segment is executed.[2]
1 String s1 = "Computer", s2 = "Applications"; 2 a = (s1.compareTo(s2)); 3 b = (s1.equals(s2));

Ans. Data type of a is int and b is boolean. ASCII value of C is 67 and A is 65. So compare gives 67-65 = 2. Therefore a = 2 b = false (h) What will the following code output? [2]

COMPUTER APPLCATIONS (Theory) Two Hours

Answers to this Paper must be written on the paper provided separately. You will not be allowed to write during the first 15 minutes. This time is to be spent in reading the Question Paper. The time given at the head of the Paper is the time allowed for writing the answers. 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 bracket [ ]
SECTION A (40 Marks) 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 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] Ans. char is two bytes. So a[4] will be 2*4=8 bytes. float is 4 bytes. So p[4] will be 4*4=16 bytes. (b) (i) Name the package that contains Scanner class. (ii) Which unit of the class gets called, when the object of the class is created? [2] Ans. (i) java.util (ii) Constructor (c) Give the output of the following: [2]
String n = Computer Knowledge; String m = Computer Applications ; System.out.println(n.substring (0,8). concat (m.substring(9))); System.out.println(n.endsWith(e));

Ans. n.substring(0,8) gives Computer. m.substring(9) gives Applications. These two on concatenation gives ComputerApplications. n ends with e. So, it gives true. The output is:
ComputerApplications true

(d) Write the output of the following: [2] (i) System.out.println (Character.isUpperCase(R)); (ii) System.out.println(Character.toUpperCase(j)); Ans. (i) true (ii) J

(e) What is the role of keyword void in declaring functions? [2] Ans. void indicates that the function doesnt return any value. Question 3 (a) Analyse the following program segment and determine how many times the loop will be executed and what will be the output of the program segment ? [2]
int p = 200; while(true) { if (p<100) break; p=p-20; } System.out.println(p);

Ans.p values changes as follows : 200, 180, 160, 140, 120, 100, 80. So, the loop executes six times and value of p is 80. (b) What will be the output of the following code? [2] (i)
int k = 5, j = 9; k += k++ ++j + k; System.out.println("k= " +k); System.out.println("j= " +j);

Ans.
k = 6 j = 10

Explanation: k += k++ ++j + k k = k + k++ ++j + k k = 5 + 5 10 + 6 k=6 j = 10 as it has been incremented in the ++j operation. (ii) [2]
double b = -15.6; double a = Math.rint (Math.abs (b)); System.out.println("a= " +a);

Ans.
a =16.0

Maths.abs(-15.6) will give 15.6 and Math.rint(15.6) gives 16.0. (c) Explain the concept of constructor overloading with an example . [2] Ans. A class can have more than one constructor provided that the signatures differ. This is known as constructor overloading. Example:
class Age { int age; public Age() { age = -1; } public Age(int age) { this.age = age; } }

(d) Give the prototype of a function search which receives a sentence sentnc and a word wrd and returns 1 or 0 ? [2] Ans.
public boolean function ( sentence sentnc, word wrd )

or
public int function ( sentence sentnc, word wrd )

(e) Write an expression in Java for z = (53 + 2y ) / ( x + y) [2] Ans.

z = ( 5 * Math.pow ( x, 3 ) + 2 * y ) / ( x + y )

(f) Write a statement each to perform the following task on a string: [2] (i) Find and display the position of the last space in a string s. (ii) Convert a number stored in a string variable x to double data type Ans. (i) System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf( ); (ii) Double.parseDouble(x)

(g) Name the keyword that: [2] (i) informs that an error has occurred in an input/output operation. (ii) distinguishes between instance variable and class variables. Ans. (i) throw (ii) static (h) What are library classes ? Give an example. [2] Ans. Library classes are the predefined classes which are a part of java API. Ex: String, Scanner (i) Write one difference between Linear Search and Binary Search . [2] Ans. Linear search can be used with both sorted and unsorted arrays. Binary search can be used only with sorted arrays. SECTION B (60 Marks)

COMPUTER APPLICATIONS (Theory) Two Hours

Answers to this Paper must be written on the paper provided separately. You will not be allowed to write during the first 15 minutes. This time is to be spent in reading the Question Paper. The time given at the head of the Paper is the time allowed for writing the answers. 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 bracket [ ]
SECTION A (40 Marks) 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. (e) Write two advantages of using functions in a program. [2] Ans. i) Function make code reusable. ii) Functions improve modularity and facilitate easy debugging.

Question 2.

(a) State the purpose and return data type of the following String functions: [2] (i) indexOf ( ) (ii) compareTo ( ) Ans. i) indexOf() returns the index of the character or String passed as the parameter in the string on which is invoked. Return type is int. ii) compareTo() lexicographically compares the String passed as an argument to the String on which it is invoked. Return type is int. (b) What is the result stored in x, after evaluating the following expression [2]
int x = 5; x = x++ * 2 + 3 * x;

Ans. x = 5 * 2 + 3 * -6 x = 10 18 x = -8 (c) Differentiate between static and non-static data members. [2] Ans. i) static variables belong to the class and all object share a single instance of the static variables. Non static varaiables belong to the objects. Each object has a copy of these members. ii) static functions can access only static data members. Non static function can access both static and non static data members. (d) Write the difference between length and length() functions. [2] Ans. length is a property of an array which gives the size of the array. length() is a function of the String class which returns the size of the String. (e) Differentiate between private and protected visibility modifiers. [2] Ans. private members are accessible only in the class in which they have been defined. protected members are accessible in the class in which they have been defined as well in the sub classes of that class. Question 3 (a) What do you understand by data abstraction? Explain with an example.[2] Ans. Abstraction refers to representing the essential features of a system without considering all the details. Example: When we drive a car, we concentrate on how to drive it without bothering ourselves on how the engine works and other things.

(b) What will be the output of the following code? (i) [2]
int m=2; int n=15; for(int i = 1; i<5; i++) m++; n; System.out.println("m=" +m); System.out.println("n="+n);

Ans.
m=1 n=14

Note that there is no semicolon at the end of the loop. So, it is an empty loop and doest affect the values of m and n. (ii) [2]
char x = 'A' ; int m; m=(x=='a') ? 'A' : a; System.out.println("m="+m);

Ans.
m=a

(c) Analyse the following program segment and determine how many times tne loop will be executed and what will be the output of the program segment. [2]
int k=1, i=2; while (++i<6) k*=i; System.out.println(k);

Ans. Following are the iterations of the loop

3 4 5 6 < < < < 6 6 6 6 ------------k = 1 * 3 = 3 k = 3 * 4 = 15 k = 12 * 5 = 60 false

The loop will run three times and output is 60

60

(d) Give the prototype of a function check which receives a character ch and an integer n and returns true or false. [2] Ans.
public boolean function(char ch, int n)

(e) State two features of a constructor. [2] Ans. i) A constructor has the same name as that of a class. ii) A constructor does not have any return type. iii) A constructor is automatically called during object creation. (f) Write a statement each to perform the following task on a string: (i) Extract the second last character of a word stored in the variable wd. [2] Ans.
char ch = wd.charAt(wd.length()-2);

(ii) Check if the second character of a string str is in uppercase. [2] Ans.
boolean result = Character.isUpperCase(str.charAt(1));

(g) What will the following functions return when executed? [2] (j) Math.max(-17, -19) (ii) Math.ceil(7.8) Ans. i) -17 ii) 8.0 (h) (i) Why is an object called an instance of a class? (ii) What is the use of the keyword import? [2] Ans. i) An object is called an instance of a class because the objects contains a copy of all the instance variables of the class. ii) The import keyword is used to import classes from external packages.

ICSE Computer Applications 2009 (Two Hours)

Attempt all questions from Section A and any four four questions from Section B. The intended marks for each question are given in brackets []

Section A Question 1: (a) Why is a class called a factory of objects? [2] Ans. A class is known as a factory of objects because objects are instantiated from classes. Each object gets a copy of the instance variables present in the class. It is like a factory producing objects. (b) State the difference between a boolean literal and a character literal. [2] Ans. i) A boolean literal can store one of two values true and false. A character literal can store a single Unicode character. ii) The memory required by a boolean literal depends on the implementation. The memory required by a character literal is 2 bytes. (c) What is the use and syntax of a ternary operator? [2] Ans. The ternary operator is a decision making operator which can be used to replace certain if else statement. Syntax: condition ? expression1 : expression2 (d) Write one word answer for the following: [2] i) A method that converts a string to a primitive integer data type ii) The default initial value of a boolean variable data type Ans. i) Integer.parseInt() ii) false (e) State one similarity and one difference between while and for loop. [2] Ans. A while loop contains only a condition while a for loop contains initialization, condition and iteration.

Question 2: (a) Write the function prototype for the function sum that takes an integer variable (x) as its argument and returns a value of float data type. [2] Ans.
public float sum(int x)

(b) What is the use of the keyword this? [2] Ans. this refers to the object on which the method has been invoked. If an instance variable and a local variable in a method have the same name, the local variable hides the instance variable. The keyword this can be used to access the instance variable as shown in the example below:
public class thisKeywordExample {

int a; // varaible 1 public void method() { int a; // variable 2 a = 4; // varaible 1 will be changed a = 3; // varaible 2 will be changed } }

(c) Why is a class known as a composite data type? [2] Ans. A class is composed of instance variables which are of different data types. hence, a class can be viewed as a composite data type which is composed of primitive and other composite data types. (d) Name the keyword that: [2] i) is used for allocating memory to an array ii) causes the control to transfer back to the method call Ans. i) new ii) return (e) Differentiate between pure and impure functions. [2] Ans. i) A pure function does not change the state of the object whereas an impure function changes the state of the object by modifying instance variables. ii) get functions are examples of pure functions and set functions are examples if impure functions. Question 3: (a) Write an expression for [2]

Ans. (Math.pow(a+b),n)/(Math.sqrt(3)+b) (b) The following is a segment of a program.

x = 1; y = 1;

if(n > 0) { x = x + 1; y = y - 1; }

What will be the value of x and y, if n assumes a value (i) 1 (ii) 0? [2] Ans. i) 1 > 0 is true, so if block will be executed. x=x+1=1+1=2 y=y1=11=0 ii) 0 > 0 is false, so if block will not be executed and therefore, the values of x and y wont change. x=1 y=1 (c) Analyze the following program segment and determine how many times the body of loop will be executed (show the working). [2]
x = 5; y = 50; while(x<=y) { y=y/x; System.out.println(y); }

Ans.
Iteration 1 : Iteration 2 : Iteration 3 : 5 <= 50 - true 5 <= 10 - true 5 <= 2 - false y = y / x = 50 / 5 = 10 y = y / x = 10 / 5 = 2 10 will be printed 2 will be printed

The loop will be executed two times. (d) When there are multiple definitions with the same function name, what makes them different from each other? [2] Ans. The function prototype make multiple definitions of a function different from each other. Either the number, type or order or arguments should be different for the functions having identical names. Q3. (e) Given that int x[][] = { {2,4,6}, {3,5,7} }; What will be the value of x[1][0] and x[0][2] ? [2] Ans. We can write the array as

As shown in the figure x[1][0] is 3 and x[0][2] is 6. (f) Give the output of the following code segment when (i) opn = b (ii) opn = x (iii) opn = a. [3]
switch(opn) { case 'a': System.out.println("Platform Independent"); break; case 'b': System.out.println("Object Oriented"); case 'c': System.out.println("Robust and Secure"); break; default: System.out.println("Wrong Input"); }

Ans. i) Output will be

Object Oriented Robust and Secure

As there is no break statement for case b, statements in case c will also be printed when opn = b. ii) Output will be
Wrong Input

As x doesnt match with either a, b or c, the default statement will be executed. iii) Output will be
Platform Independent

(g) Consider the following code and answer the questions that follow: [4]
class academic { int x, y; void access() { int a, b; academic student = new academic();

System.out.println("Object created"); } }

i) What is the object name of class academic? ii) Name the class variables used in the program? iii) Write the local variables used in the program. iv) Give the type of function used and its name. Ans. i) student ii) x and y iii) a and b iv) Type: Non Static Name: access Q3 (h) Convert the following segment into an equivalent do loop. [3]
int x,c; for(x=10,c=20;c>10;c=c-2) x++;

Ans.
int x, c; x = 10; c = 20; do { x++; c = c - 2; } while (c > 10);

ICSE Class 10 Computer Applications ( Java ) 2013 Solved Question Paper

9 Replies

If you have any doubts, ask them in the comments section at the bottom of this page. ICSE Paper 2013 Class X Subject Computer Applications (Two Hours) 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) What is meant by precedence of operators? [2] Ans. Precedence of operators refers to the order in which the operators are applied to the operands in an expression. For example, * has higher precedence than +. So, the expression 8 + 2 * 5 will evaluate to 8 + 10 = 18 b) What is a literal? [2] Ans. A literal is a constant data item. There are different literals like integer literals, floating point literals and character literals. c) State the Java concept that is implemented through: i) a super class and a subclass. ii) the act of representing essential features without including background details. [2] Ans. i) Inheritance ii) Abstraction d) Give a difference between constructor and method. [2] Ans. i)A constructor has no return type which a method has a return type. ii) The name of the constructor should be the same as that of the class while the name of a method can be any valid identifier. iii) A constructor is automatically called upon object creation while methods are invoked explicitly. e) What are the types of casting shown by the following examples? [2] i) double x =15.2; int y =(int) x; ii) int x =12; long y = x; Ans. i) Explicit casting ii) Implicit casting Question 2: a) Name any two wrapper classes . [2] Ans. Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, Double, Boolean, Character

b) What is the difference between break and continue statements when they occur in a loop. [2] Ans. The break statement terminates the loop while the continue statements current iteration of the loop to be skipped and continues with the next iteration. c) Write statements to show how finding the length of a character array and char[] differs from finding the length of a String object str. [2] Ans. The length of a character array is found by accessing the length attribute of the array as shown below: char[] array = new char[7]; int lengthOfCharArray = array.length; The length of a String object is found by invoking the length() method which returns the length as an int. String str = java; int lengthOfString = str.length(); d) Name the Java keyword that: [2] (i) indicates a method has no return type. (ii) stores the address of the currently calling object. Ans. i) void ii) this e) What is an exception? [2] Ans. An exception is an unforeseen situation that occurs during the execution of a program. In simpler words, they are the errors that occur during the execution of a program. The JRE throws an Exception object to indicate an exception which contains the information related to that exception. Question 3: a) Write Java statement to create an object mp4 of class digital. [2] Ans.
digital mp4 = new digital ();

b) State the values stored in variables str1 and str2 [2]

String String String String s1 = "good"; s2="world matters"; str1 = s2.substring(5).replace('t','n'); str2 = s1.concat(str1);

Ans. s2.substring(5) gives matters. When t is replaced with n, we get manners. good when concatenated with world matters gives goodworld matters. So, str1 = manners and str2 = goodworld matters. c) What does a class encapsulate? [2] Ans. A class encapsulated the data (instance variables) and methods. d) Rewrite the following program segment using the if..else statement. [2] comm =(sale>15000)?sale*5/100:0; Ans.
if ( sale > 15000 ) { comm = sale * 5 / 100;

} else { comm = 0; }

e) How many times will the following loop execute? What value will be returned? [2]
int x = 2, y = 50; do{ ++x; y-=x++; }while(x&lt;=10); return y;

Ans. In the first iteration, ++x will change x from 2 to 3. y-=x++ will increase x to 4. And y becomes 50-3=47. In the second iteration, ++x will change x from 4 to 5. y-=x++ will increase x to 6. And y becomes 47-5=42. In the third iteration, ++x will change x from 6 to 7. y-=x++ will increase x to 8. And y becomes 42-7=35. In the fourth iteration, ++x will change x from 8 to 9. y-=x++ will increase x to 10. And y becomes 35-9=24. In the fifth iteration, ++x will change x from 10 to 11. y-=x++ will increase x to 12. And y becomes 24-11=13. Now the condition x<=10 fails. So, the loop executes five times and the value of y that will be returned is 13. f) What is the data type that the following library functions return? [2] i) isWhitespace(char ch) ii) Math.random() Ans. i) boolean ii) double g) Write a Java expression for ut + ft2 [2] Ans. u * t + 0.5 * f * Math.pow ( t, 2) h) If int n[] ={1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 16} what are the values of x and y? [2]
x=Math.pow(n[4],n[2]); y=Math.sqrt(n[5]+[7]);

Ans. n[4] is 7 and n[2] is 3. So, Math.pow(7,3) is 343.0. n[5] is 9 and n[7] is 16. So Math.sqrt(9+16) will give 5.0. Note that pow() and sqrt() return double values and not int values. i) What is the final value of ctr after the iteration process given below, executes? [2]
int ctr=0; for(int i=1;i&lt;=5;i++) for(int j=1;j&lt;=5;j+=2) ++ctr;

Ans. Outer loop runs five times. For each iteration of the outer loop, the inner loop runs 3 times. So, the statement ++ctr executes 5*3=15 times and so the value of ctr will be 15. j) Name the methods of Scanner class that: [2] i) is used to input an integer data from standard input stream.

ii) is used to input a string data from standard input stream. Ans. i) scanner.nextInt() ii) scanner.next() SECTION B (60 Marks ) Attempt any four questions from this Section. The answers in this section should consist of the program in Blue J environment with Java as the base. Each program should be written using Variable descriptions / Mnemonics Codes such that the logic of the program is clearly depicted. Flow-charts and Algorithms are not required.

Example: For an ISBN 1401601499 Sum=11 + 24 + 30 + 41 + 56 + 60 + 71 + 84 + 99 + 109 = 253 which is divisible by 11. Write a program to: (i) input the ISBN code as a 10-digit integer. (ii) If the ISBN is not a 10-digit integer, output the message Illegal ISBN and terminate the program. (iii) If the number is 10-digit, extract the digits of the number and compute the sum as explained above. If the sum is divisible by 11, output the message, Legal ISBN. If the sum is not divisible by 11, output the message, Illegal ISBN. [15] Ans.
import java.util.Scanner; public class ISBN { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter ISBN code: "); int isbnInteger = scanner.nextInt(); String isbn = isbnInteger + "";

if (isbn.length() != 10) { System.out.println("Ilegal ISBN"); } else { int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { int digit = Integer.parseInt(isbn.charAt(i) + ""); sum = sum + (digit * (i + 1)); } if (sum % 11 == 0) { System.out.println("Legal ISBN"); } else { System.out.println("Illegal ISBN"); } } } }

ICSE Question Paper 2012 (Solved) Computer Applications Class X (Time: Two Hours) SECTION A (40 Marks) Answer all questions from this Section Question 1. (a)Give one example of a primitive data type and composite data type. [2] Ans. Primitive type: byte/short/int/long/float/double/char/boolean Composite type: classes/interface/arrays (b) Give one point of difference between unary and binary operators. [2] Ans. Unary operators work on a single operand eg. ++a while binary operators work on two operands eg. a+b Differentiate between call by value or pass by value and call by reference or pass by reference [2] Ans. Call by value method creates a new copy of formal parameters and the changes made to them in the called function are not reflected on the actual arguments in the calling function. They work for primitive data types while call by reference method does not create a new copy rather works on the reference of actual arguments and changes made to them in the called function are reflected in the calling function. They work for reference data types. (d) Write java expression for 2as+u2 [2] Ans. double d= Math.sqrt((2*a*s + u*u)); (e) Name the type of error (syntax, runtime or logical error) in each case given below: [2] Ans.

Write a program to accept the names of 10 cities in a single dimension string array and their STD codes in another single dimension integer array. Search for a name of a city input by the user in the list. If found, display search successful and print the name of the city along with its STD code, or else display the message search unsuccessful, no such city in the list.
