1) List any five examples of portable devices. (5 Marks)

Answer
Portable devices:
a) Laptops
b) Smartphones
c) cell phones
d) Personal Digital Assistants
e) Tablets

2) List and define three standards stream in java. (6 Marks)

Answer
Java provides the following three standard streams:

i. Standard Input: This is used to feed the data to user’s program and
usually a keyboard is used as standard input stream and represented
as System.in.
ii. Standard Output: This is used to output the data produced by the
user's program and usually a computer screen is used to standard
output stream and represented as System.out.
iii. Standard Error: This is used to output the error data produced by
the user's program and usually a computer screen is used to standard
error stream and represented as System.err.

3) Define this() and super() in java. (5 Marks)

Answer

Page 2 of 12
 this() is used to access one constructor from another with in the same
class while super() is used to access superclass constructor. Either this()
or super() exists it must be the first statement in the constructor.

Unguided media. Explain each group. (5 Marks)

Page 3 of 12
 Answer
Wired or Guided Media: are the cables that are tangible or have physical
existence and are
limited by the physical geography. Example guided media are: Twisted
pair cable, co-axial
cable and fiber optical cable.
• Wireless or Unguided Media are the ways of transmitting data without
using any cables.
These media are not bounded by physical geography. Example of
unguided media are:
Radio wave, Infrared, Bluetooth.

System.out.println("Sorted string array : "+Arrays.toString(my_array2)); }}

14) Compare computerized vs non-computerized database with at least 5 for

each. (10 Marks)
Answer
Computerized:
➢ Can hold a vast amount of data
➢ Very fast to find a specific record
➢ Can be used to analyze data
➢ Data can be sorted into ascending or descending order on
multiple criteria
➢ Can easily update
➢ Records are stored safely; they are available when needed
➢ The database can be kept secure by use of passwords

Non computerized (paper based):

➢ Limited by physical storage space
➢ Difficult to search for a specific criteria
➢ Very difficult to analyze data
➢ Difficult to sort data on more than one criteria
➢ Records can be lost
➢ Difficult to make backup

cout <<"\nenter the length";
cin>>length;
p = &width;
area = (*p) * length;
cout<<"The area of Rectangle is "<<area;

SECTION C: ATTEMPT ANY ONE QUESTION. (15 marks)

19) Explain Elements of the Integrated Development Environment (IDE) in

Visual basic (15 Marks)
Answer
a. Menu Bar: It contains a standard command like: File, Edit, View,
Window, Help menus, and specific command such as: Project,
Format, or Debug menus.

b- Toolbar: it contains the most commonly used commands

(button), if clicked an action represented by that button is
carried out.
c- ToolBox: it contains a collection of tools that are needed for project
design

d- Form Designer: it is a window for each form to customize the

designed interface of the application. Using the form designer, the user can
add controls, graphics, and text to create the desired form appearance.

e- Properties Window: it is a List of properties settings for a selected form or

a control. These properties are characteristics (such as size, visible, or
color) of the selected object it provides an easy way to set properties.

f- Project Explorer Window: it is a list of the forms and modules for the
current projects. lt is a hierarchical tree- branch structure, where the
project at top of tree and other parts like forms ,modules) descend from
this tree.

g- Form Layout Window: The Form Layout window is a small screen.

Which is used to reposition the form of the application so that it
appears in proper place when project is run.

Page 10 of 12
 h- Code Editor Window: Code Editor Window is used to write a VB code for
an application. For each form there is a separate code editor window. It is
displayed when user clicks on form or object in form.
