Question 1
Question 2
If a function does not return any value its return type is void.
Question 3
A function indicating the function name, return type along with function arguments is known
as function header/prototype.
Question 4
The variables used to receive the values in function header are known as formal parameters.
Question 5
Question 6
Question 7
Question 8
A function contains header and body.

Functions used with same name but different types of arguments are known as function
overloading.

2. Pass by reference.
Question 3
When a function returns the value, the entire function call can be assigned to a variable. Do you
agree with the statement?
Yes, when a function returns a value, we can assign the entire function call to a variable.
Below example illustrates the same:
Question 4
When a function is invoked how many values can be returned from the function?
Question 5

(b) float product(a,int y);
Answer
Answer
Answer
Question 6
Write down the main function which calls the following function:
int square(int a)
{
return(a*a);
}
Answer
Question 7
Pass by reference means that the arguments of the function are a reference to the original
objects and not a copy. So any changes that the called function makes to the objects are
visible to the calling function. Consider the below example:
class PassByReferenceExample {
public void demoRef(int a[]) {
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
a[i] = i;
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
PassByReferenceExample obj = new PassByReferenceExample();
int arr[] = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };
System.out.println("Before call to demoRef value of arr");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
obj.demoRef(arr);
System.out.println("After call to demoRef value of arr");
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
}
}
}
Question 8
For a function to return a value, it should have a return type other than void in its function
prototype and it should return a value of the corresponding type using the return
statement in the function body.
Question 9
Pure functions take objects and/or primitive data types as Impure functions change the state of
arguments but does not modify the objects. received objects.
Pure functions doesn't have side effects. Impure functions have side effects.
Question 10
Write a function which is used to swap the values of two memory locations.
Answer
Answer
Question 11
Actual parameters are copied to formal parameters. Formal parameters refer to actual parameters. The
Any changes to formal parameters are not reflected changes to formal parameters are reflected onto
onto the actual parameters. the actual parameters.
All primitive data types are passed using Call by All reference data types like arrays and objects of
value. classes are passed using Call by reference.
Question 12
Question 13
Function overloading is the process of defining functions/methods within a class, that have
the same name but differ in the number and/or the data types of their arguments.
Advantages of function overloading are:
1. Function overloading is one of the ways in which Java implements the object
oriented concept of Polymorphism.
2. With Function overloading, programmers don't have to create and remember
different names for functions doing the same thing for different data types.
Question 14
Return data type specifies the type of value that the method should return. It is mentioned
before the method name in the method prototype. It can be any valid primitive or
composite data type of Java. If no value is being returned, it should be void.
Access specifiers determine the type of access to the method. It can be either public, private
or protected.
A function that calls itself inside its body is called a Recursive function.
Method signature comprises of the method name and the data types of the parameters. For
example, consider the below method:
int sum(int a, int b) {
int c = a + b;
return c;
}
Question 15
A function returns a value through the return statement. Once a return statement is
executed, the program control moves back to the caller function skipping the remaining
statements of the current function if any. A function can have multiple return statements
but only one of them will be executed. For example, consider the below method:
It uses a return statement to return a value of int type back to its caller.
Question 16
They represent the values received by the called They represent the values passed to the called
function. function.
Question 17
The keyword 'void' signifies that the function doesn't return a value to the calling function.
Question 18
If a function contains several return statements, how many of them will be executed?
A function can have multiple return statements but only one of them will be executed
because once a return statement is executed, the program control moves back to the caller
function skipping the remaining statements of the current function.

Primitive types
By value
Reference types
By reference
Question 1
void test1(int n)
{
for(int x=1; x<=n; x++)
if(n%x == 0)
System. out.println(x);
}
if 12 is passed to n.
Output
1

3
4
6
12
Explanation
Question 2
Output
Infinite Loop
Explanation
Initial value of a is 4 and b is 17 as given in the question. As a and b are not equal, condition of
while loop is true, first iteration starts. a is less than b so if condition is false, a = b - a is
executed and a becomes 17 - 4 = 13. Condition of while loop is true so second iteration
starts. Again, if condition is false. This time a becomes 17 - 13 = 4. Like this, the value
of a keeps oscillating between 13 and 4 resulting in an infinite loop.
Question 3
void test3(char c)
{
System.out.println( (int) c);
}
if 'm' is passed to c.
Output
109
Explanation
This function prints the ASCII code of its argument. When 'm' is passed to this function, its
ASCII code which is 109 gets printed as the output.
Question 4
Output
AMIT
Explanation
The first differing characters of "AMIT" and "AMAN" are 'I' and 'A', respectively. So output of
"AMIT".compareTo("AMAN") will be ASCII Code of 'I' - ASCII Code of 'A' ⇒ 73 - 65 ⇒ 8.
The if condition is true so string x which is "AMIT" gets printed as the output.
Question 1

Question 2
Write a program to input a number. Use a function int Armstrong(int n) to accept the number.

else
System.out.println(num + " is not an Armstrong number");
}
}
Output
Question 3
Write a program to input a number and check and print whether it is a 'Pronic' number or not.
Use a function int Pronic(int n) to accept a number. The function returns 1, if the number is
'Pronic', otherwise returns zero (0).
(Hint: Pronic number is the number which is the product of two consecutive integers)
Examples:
12 = 3 * 4
20 = 4 * 5
42 = 6 * 7
import java.util.Scanner;
int isPronic = 0;
return isPronic;
}
if (r == 1)
System.out.println(num + " is a pronic number");
else
System.out.println(num + " is not a pronic number");
}
}
Output
Question 4
Write a program to enter a two digit number and find out its first factor excluding 1 (one). The
program then find the second factor (when the number is divide by the first factor) and finally
displays both the factors.
Hint: Use a non-return type function as void fact(int n) to accept the number.
Sample Input: 21
The first factor of 21 is 3
Sample Output: 3, 7
Sample Input: 30
The first factor of 30 is 2
Sample Output: 2, 15
import java.util.Scanner;

break;
default:
System.out.println("Wrong choice!");
}
}
}
Output
Question 7
Write a program using method name Glcm(int,int) to find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM)
of two numbers by GCD (Greatest Common Divisor) of the numbers. GCD of two integers is
calculated by continued division method. Divide the larger number by the smaller, the remainder
then divides the previous divisor. The process is repeated till the remainder is zero. The divisor
then results in the GCD.
LCM = product of two numbers / GCD
import java.util.Scanner;
int lcm = (a * b) / x;
Output
Question 8
Write a program in Java to accept a word. Pass it to a function magic(String str). The function
