Section B (60 Marks)

(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 7 [15]
Design a class overloading a method calculate( ) as follows:
1. void calculate(int m, char ch) with one integer argument and one character argument. It checks
whether the integer argument is divisible by 7 or not, if ch is 's', otherwise, it checks whether the
last digit of the integer argument is 7 or not.
2. void calculate(int a, int b, char ch) with two integer arguments and one character argument. It
displays the greater of integer arguments if ch is 'g' otherwise, it displays the smaller of integer
arguments.
3. void calculate(String str, int p) with one String argument and one integer argument. It displays
all the uppercase characters if 'p' is 1 (one) otherwise, it displays all the lowercase characters.
