Question 2
(i) State whether True or False. [2]
ot

The formal parameters of a function are the arguments used in the function definition.
Ans. True
Br

(ii) What will happen after the below line of code is executed? [2]
float f = Float.parseFloat(“XXX”);
Ans. An exception will be thrown. The string XXX is not in the form of a floating point number, so it will throw
al

an exception while executing.

(iii) Give a single line example of how the Character wrapper class constructor is used. [2]
oy

Ans. Character c = new Character(‘d’);

(iv) Evaluate the following Java line: [2]
“ABC DEF”.trim()
G

Ans. It will be same as the calling string, i.e. “ABC DEF”. The trim() function makes no changes to the calling
string, as there are no leading or trailing whitespaces in the string.
(v) What is the signature of the pow function in Java? [2]
Ans. Its signature is:
static double pow (double a, double b)

Goyal’s ICSE Computer Applications Specimen Question Paper with MTP Class 10 95
 (vi) Give the output of the following expressions: [2]
(a) If x = -9.99, calculate Math.abs(x) (b) If x = 9.0, calculate Math.sqrt(x)
Ans. (a) 9.99 (b) 3.0
(vii) Write an expression in Java for: [2]
(a + b)n
3 +b

n
Ans. Math.pow(a + b, n)/(Math.sqrt(3) + b)
(viii) For what value of the second argument of indexOf(String, int) is the method always equivalent to

ha
indexOf(String)? [2]
Ans. For 0 as the second argument. So, indexOf(“abcdef”, 0) is the same as indexOf(“abcdef”), assumingthe calling
object is the same in both the calls.

as
(ix) What value is stored in the variable ln after the code is executed? [2]
String str = “This is a string”;
int ln = str.length();

ak
Ans. ln stores 16.
(x) What is the minimum length of the array y, in order to not get an exception during the execution of the below
code? [2]
for(int i =0;i < x.length;i++)

Pr
{
y[i*i] = x[i];
}
You may assume that x.length is 8.
rs
Ans. 50.
The highest value that i acquires is 7, or x.length – 1. So, highest index of y is 49 (i.e. 7 x 7). So, the size
of y must be 50 or more.

SECTION B
ot

(Answer any four questions from this Section)

The answers in the section should consist of the programs in either BlueJ environment or any
Br

program environment with java as the base.

Each program should be written using variable description/memonic codes so that logic of the
program is clearly depicted.
Flowcharts and algorithms are not required.
