Section B
(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 3
Define a class Mobike (which calculates the charges for renting a bike), having the following
members :
Data members :
String bNo - Stores the bike’s number
int phNo – Stores the phone number of the customer
int days – Stores the number of days the bike is taken on rent
double charges – Stores the rental charges after calculation
Member methods :
public Mobike()-Parameterized constructor which accepts all the values, except charges, from
main() method.
void compute()-Computes the rental charges as follows,
No. of days Rate
First 5 days Rs. 400 per day
Next 5 days Rs. 600 per day
Rest of the days Rs. 900 per day
void display() - Displays the output in the following format.
Bike No. Phone No. No. of days Charge
--------- ------------ ------------- --------
main()-Accepts the details from the user and calls the above methods. [15]
Question 4
Write a menu-driven program as follows :
Choice 1: accepts an int value ‘a’ from the user and displays the sum of the following series :
1 + 2 + 3 +….+ 10
a a2 a 3 a10
Choice 2 : Displays the following pattern :
5 4 3 2 1
5 4 3 2
5 4 3
5 4
5
Display “Invalid Choice” for a wrong choice. [15]
Question 5
Design a class Overload, which overloads the function display() as follows:
[Link] display(String str, int p) - Takes one string and one integer argument. It displays all the
uppercase characters in str, if variable p is 1, else displays all the lowercase alphabets.
[Link] display(String str, char chr) – Takes one string argument and one character argument. It
displays all the vowels if chr is ‘v’ else displays all the consonants. [15]
Question 6
Write a program to perform function overloading as follows :
StringManip(String s) – Accepts a string from main() and displays the string after replacing
each vowel by Asterisk (*).
Ex. If s=“Street Play”, then the output should be “Str**t Pl*y”.
StringManip(String s, char c) – Accepts a string and a character from main() and counts the
number of times the character occurs in the string.
Ex. If s=“Street Play” and c=‘e’, then the output will be 2.
main() method calls the above methods and passes the parameters. [15]
Question 7
Write a program to input 10 integers into an array and perform Bubble Sort in Descending
order. Display the sorted array. [15]
Question 8
Write a program to input 6 double values into an array and display the largest and the smallest
element in the array. [15]
