SECTION B (60 Marks)

(Attempt 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.
Question 3 [15]
Define a class to overload the method print( ) as follows:

void print( int n) : To print whether the given number is a special number or not. A number is
said to be special number , if the sum of factorial of its digits is same as the
original number.
Example: 145 is a special number because 1!+4!+5! = 145

𝑥 𝑥2 𝑥3 𝑥4
double print( int x, int n): To print the sum of the series 1 + 1! + + + …𝑛
2! 3! 4!

Question 4 [15]
Write a program to input a string and convert into uppercase. Print the pair of vowels and the
number of pair of vowels occurring in the string.
Sample input: BEAST AND BEAUTIFUL
Sample output: Pair of vowels: EA,EA,AU
No:of pair of vowels:3

Question 5 [15]
Write a program to input the weights of ten people. Sort and display them in ascending order
using the selection sort technique.

Computer Applications Page 4|5

Question 6 [15]
Write a program with the following specifications:
Class name : StringProg
Instance variables/Data members:
String str
Member methods:
StringProg( ) : Constructor to initialise str.
void count(char c) : to find and print the frequency of a character in the string.
void compare(String) : to compare the string str with the string passed as argument and print
whether the given string passed as an argument is larger , smaller or
equal.
Write a main method to create an object for the class and invoke the above member methods.

Question 7 [15]
Define a class to overload the following methods:
(a) void display( )
EEEEE
DDDD
CCC
BB
A
(b) void display(int n) - To check whether the number is a lead number or not.A lead number
is the one whose sum of even digits is equal to the sum of odd digits.
Sample input: 3669
Sample output: sum of odd digits =3+9=12
Sum of even digits= 6+6=12
Hence,3669 is a lead number.

Question 8 [15]
Write a program to accept integer values into a 4 x 4 array . Display the array elements and find
the sum of left diagonal and right diagonal elements.
Sample input :

12 8 29 11
7 19 23 41
16 15 9 10
2 16 5 14
Sample output:
The array elements are:
12 8 29 11
7 19 23 41
16 15 9 10
2 16 5 14
Sum of left diagonal elements : 54
Sum of right diagonal elements: 51
