SECTION B (60 Marks )
Attempt any four questions from this Section.
The answers in this section should consist of the program in Blue J environment with Java as the base. Each program should be written using Variable descriptions / Mnemonics Codes such that the logic of the program is clearly depicted.
Flow-charts and Algorithms are not required.


Q4. Define a class called ParkingLot with the following description:     [15]
          Instance variables/data members:
          int vno        - to store the vehicle number
          int hours        - to store the number of hours vehicle is parked.
          double bill             - to store the bill amount
         
          Member Methods:
          void input()                    - to input and store the vno and hours.                                
          void calculate()      - to compute the parking charge at the rate of Rs3 for the first hour of part thereof , and Rs 1.50 for each additional hour of part thereof.         
void display()        - to display the details:        
              
Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.

Q5. Write two separate programs to generate following pattern using iteration (loop) statements.                                                                                         [15] 
a)     *                                                       b) 5 4 3 2 1
* #                                                         5 4 3 2
* # *                                                      5 4 3
* # * #                                                   5 4
* # * # *                                                 5             

Q6. Write a program to input and store roll numbers, name and marks in three subjects of n number of students in five single dimentional array and display the remark based on average marks as given below:                                        [15]   (The maximum marks in the subject are 100)       

Average marks = total marks / 3         

Average marks                                   Remarks
85 – 100                                             Excellent
75 – 84                                              Distinction
60 – 74                                              First Class
40 – 59                                              PASS
Less than 40                                                POOR         

Q7. Design a class to overload a function Joystring() as follows:           [15]                      
(i) void Joystring(String s, char ch1, char ch2) with one string argument and two character arguments that replaces the character argument ch1 with the character argument ch2 in the given string s and prints the new string.

Example: Input value of s = “TECHNALAGY”
Ch1 = ‘A’ and ch2 = ‘O’
Output = “TECHNOLOGY”
         
(ii) void Joystring(String s) with one string argument that prints the position of the first space and the last space of the given string s.
Example: Input value of s = “Cloud computing means Internet based computing”
Output:
First index: 5  
Last index: 36

(iii) void Joystring(String s1, String s2) with two string arguments that combines the two strings with a space between them and prints the resultant string.
Example:
Input value of s1 = “Common Wealth”
Input value of s2 = “Games”
Output: Common Wealth Games
(Use library functions)

            
Q8. write a program to input twenty names in an array. Arrange these names indescending order of alphabets, using the bubble sort technique.            [15]                      
     
Q9. Using switch statement, write a menu driven program to:             [15]
i)                   To find and display all the factors of a number input by the user (including 1 and excluding number itself ).
Example: Sample input n = 15
                        Sample output: 1, 3, 5

ii)                To find and display factorial of a number input by the user ( the factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n!, is the product of all integers less than or equal to n.
Example: Sample input: n = 5
Sample output:  5! = 1x2x3x4x5 = 120
For an incorrect choice , an appropriate error message should be displayed.
