SECTION B (60 Marks)

(Answerany four questions in 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.
Buffered Reader/Data Input Stream should not be used in the programs.

Question3 [15]
Define a class named BookFair with the following description:
Instance variables/Data members:
String Bname — stores the name of the book
double price — stores the price of the book
double disc— stores the discount
double amt— stores the price of the book after discount
Member methods:
(i) BookFair() — Default constructor to initialize data members
(ii) void input() — To input and store the name and the price of the book.
(iii) void calculate() — To calculate the price after discount. Discount is calculated based on the following
criteria.
Price Discount
Less than or equal to Rs.1000 2% of price
More than Rs.1000 and less than or equal to Rs.3000 10% of price
More than Rs.3000 15% of price

SuperSpy if the sum of the digits is equal to the number of digits.
Example:
Input: 1021
Output: SuperSpy number [Sum of the digits=1+0+2+1=4, Number of digits=4]

Question 8 [15]
