The answer in this section should consist of 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 Define a class with the following specifications. [15]

Class name : Salary
Data Members/Instance Variables

Subject : to store subject specialization
MonthlySal : to store monthly salary
Income Tax : to store income tax
Functions/Member methods
Salary(String nam, String add, int pno,String sub, int mon_sal): parameterised
constructor to assign nam to Name, add toaddress, pno to
Phone, sub to Subject, mon_sal to MonthlySal

Question-4 Write a program to accept the year of graduation from the user as an integer value. [15]
Using the binary search technique on the sorted array Gy[] given below, output the
message “Record Exists ” with its position - if the value is located in the array. If not,
output the message “Record does not exist”.

Gy[0] Gy[1] Gy[2] Gy[3] Gy[4] Gy[5] Gy[6] Gy[7] Gy[8] Gy[9]
1990 1992 1994 1998 1999 2002 2004 2008 2010 2014

Sample Output : Record Exists at 4th position in the array

Sample Input : Enter the graduation year ( 2005)

Sample Output : Record does not exists…..

Question-5 Write a program in Java to input a number and check whether it is a Unique number [15]
or not. [A number is said to be unique , if the digits in it are not repeated. for example,
12345 is a unique number. 123445 is not a unique number.].

Sample Input. : Enter the number: 4356

Sample Output : 4356 is a unique number

Sample Input. : Enter the number: 45564

Sample Output : 45564 is not a unique number

Question-6 Design a class to overload a function check ( ) as follows : [15]

(i) int check (String str, char ch) – to find and return the frequency of a character in a
string.
Sample Input: Enter the string : str = “success”
Enter the character = ‘s’ .
Sample Output: number of s present is = 3

(ii) void check(String s1) – to display only vowels from string s1 after converting it to
to lower case.
Sample Input : Enter String : s1 = “computer”
Sample Output: The vowels in the string are : o u e

(iii) char check(String st, int idx) - to display the character at the specified index (idx)
in a string
Sample Input : Enter String : st = “Technology”
Enter the index : 3
Sample Output: The character at index 3 is : h

Question-7 Special words are those words which start and end with the same letter. [15]
Examples: EXISTENCE COMIC WINDOW .
Palindrome words are those words which read the same from left to right and vice
versa.
Examples: MALAYALAM MADAM LEVEL ROTATOR CIVIC

All palindromes are special words, but all special words are not palindromes. Write a
program to accept six words in an array arrWord[] . Check and print the palindrome
and special words and only special word from the array an array and also print their
frequency.

Sample Input :
COMIC ICICI MOM MALYALAM EXISTENCE DAD

Sample Output :
Palindrome and Special Words are : ICICI, MOM, MALYALAM,DAD
Frequency of Palindrome and Special words : 4
Special Words are : COMIC, EXISTENCE
Frequency of Special Words : 2

Question-8 Write a program to input 10 numbers into an integer type array and arrange the [15]
numbers in descending order using Bubble Sort technique.

Sample Input : Enter any 10 numbers in an array

67, 12, 45, 34, 32, 99, 87, 69, 88, 3

Sample Output : Array after sorting is :

99, 88, 87, 69, 67, 45, 34, 32, 12, 3
