Section B (60 Marks)

Attempt any four questions from this Section.
The answers in this section should consist of the Programs in BlueJ
environment or any program environment with Java as the base. Each
program should be-written using Variable descriptions/Mnemonic
Codes such that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flow-Charts and Algorithms are not required

Q. 3 Define a class named BookFair with the following description: [15]

Instance variables/Data members:
String Bname – stores the name of the book.
double price – stores the price of the book.
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

7
(iv) void display() To display the name and price of the book
after discount.
Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above
member methods.

Q. 4 Write a program to input a number and print whether the number is a [15]
special number or not. (A number is said to be a special number, if the
sum of the factorial of the digits of the number is same as the original
number).
For example: 145 is a special number, because
1!+4!+5!=1+24+120=145

(where ! stands for the factorial of the number and the factorial value of
a number is the product of all integers from 1 to that number, example
5!=1*2*3*4*5=120)

Q. 5 Design a class to overload a function series() as follows: [15]

(i) double series(double n) with one double argument and returns
the sum of the series
sum=

(ii) double series(double a, double n) with two double arguments

and returns the sum of the series
sum=

Q. 6 [15]
Write a program in java to store the numbers in a 4*4 matrix in DDA.
Arrange the numbers of each row in ascending order and display
the result.

8
Q. 7 Write a program to accept a word and convert it into lowercase [15]
if it is in uppercase, and display the new word by replacing only
the vowels with the character following it.
Example:
Sample Input: computer
Sample Output: cpmpvtfr
Q. 8 Write a Program to accept the year of graduation from school [15]
as an integer value from the user. Using Binary search
technique on the sorted array of integers given below, output
the message "Record exists" if the value input is located in the
array.
If not, output the message "Record does not exist".
