Sorting is the process of arranging the elements of an array so that they can be
placed either in ascending or descending order. There are different types of
sorting techniques.
In selection sort technique, the smallest value among the unsorted elements of
the array is selected in every pass and swapped with the value in appropriate
position. In the Bubble Sort technique the values are compared with the
adjacent elements and swaps them if they are not in the correct order.
Name the sorting technique which has more than on swap per pass.

 SECTION B
(Answer 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 description / mnemonic codes
so that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flowcharts and algorithms are not required.
Question 3 [15]
Write a menu driven program using switch-case to print the following depending
on the user’s choice:
+A+B+C
A +D+E+
BC +F+G
DEF +H+
GHIJ +I
KLMNO +

Question 4 [15]
Create a Double dimension array 5x5 to input 25 integers and perform the
following operations:
a) Print the non-diagonal elements
b) Find the sum of each row
Question 5 [15]
Write a program to accept N alphabets in a single dimension array. Arrange
them in alphabets order using Selection sort. Print only the vowels present in
the sorted array.
Question 6 [15]
Design a class to overload the following method to perform the following
operations:
void Print(int num): With one integer argument checks and print if the number
is a Balanced Number or not.
A number is a Balanced number if the sum of digits is equal to the count of
digits. Eg: num = 11 Sum = 2 count = 2
Num = 20 sum = 2 and count =2
void Print(String S1, String S2): convert both the Strings to uppercase. To
check and print if both the Strings are Balanced. A String is said to be Balanced
if both the String has the same count of vowels and consonants,
eg. String 1 = ANT String S2 = CAN
It is Balanced as both have same count of vowels(1) and same count of
consonant(2).

lowercase. Print the string which begins with a vowel.
Question 8 [15]
The travel agency Robin Hook provides Domestic and International packages.
Based on the package amount and the days travelled discount is calculated.
Additional discount is calculated for early booking. Write a program to calculate
discount amount.
Class Name:- Robin Hook
Member variables:-
String name – Name of the traveler
double p_amt – store the package amount
char cat – stores the category E-Early bird booking L-Late booking
int days – To store the number of days of the package

Member methods:-
(i)void accept () – accept name of the traveler, package amount, days and the
category
(ii) double Com_Disount() – calculate discount amount based on conditions:
Package Amount Days Discount
Amount
<=50,000 <=5 10%
>50,000 and >5 and <=10 15%
<=1,00,000
>1,00,000 >10 25%
If the category = E then an additional discount of 20% is given on the
Package amount

(iii) void Display () – To calculate the final amount and displays all the details
in the following format:
Passengers Name ------
Package amount ----------- Discount Amount ------
Final Amount ------
void main() – to create an object and call the above member methods.
