Answer the following questions

Question 1

What is a package?

In Java, a package is used to group related classes. Packages are of 2 types:

1. Built-In packages — These are provided by Java API

2. User-Defined packages — These are created by the programmers to efficiently
structure their code.
java.util, java.lang are a couple of examples of built-in packages.

Question 2

What is the significance of '*' while importing a package?

The asterisk(*) sign indicates that all the classes in the imported package can be used in the
program.

Question 3

Define a wrapper class.

Wrapper classes wrap the value of a primitive type in an object. Wrapper classes are
present in java.lang package. The different wrapper classes provided by Java are Boolean,
Byte, Integer, Float, Character, Short, Long and Double.

Question 4
Differentiate between:

(a) isUpperCase() and toUpperCase()

isUpperCase() toUpperCase()
It is used to check if the character given as its It is used to convert the character given as its
argument is in upper case or not. argument to upper case
Its return type is boolean Its return type is char

(b) parseInt() and toString() functions

parseInt() toString()
It converts a string to an integer It converts an integer to a string
Its return type is int Its return type is String

(c) primitive type and composite type data

Primitive Data Types Composite Data Types

Primitive Data Types are Java's fundamental data Composite Data Types are created by
types using Primitive Data Types
Primitive Data Types are built-in data types defined by Composite Data Types are defined by the
Java language specification programmer
Examples of Primitive Data Types are byte, short, int, Examples of Composite Data Types are
long, float, double, char, boolean Class and Array

Question 5(i)

int res = 'A';

What is the value of res?

Value of res is 65.

Question 5(ii)

Name the package that contains wrapper classes.

java.lang

Question 5(iii)

Write the prototype of a function check which takes an integer as an argument and returns a
character.

char check(int n)
Write the purpose of the following functions
Question 1

Float.parseFloat()

It is used to convert string data into float data.

Question 2

Double.toString()

It is used to convert double data to a string.

Question 3

Integer.valueOf()

It is used to convert string data into the Integer wrapper object.

Question 4

Character.isDigit()

It is used to check if the character given as its argument is a digit.

Question 5

Character.isWhitespace()

It is used to check if the character given as its argument is a whitespace.

Find the output of the following program snippets

Question 1

char ch = '*';
boolean b = Character.isLetter(ch);
System.out.println(b);

Output

false

Explanation
As Asterisk (*) is not a letter so Character.isLetter() method returns false.

Question 2

char c = 'A';
int n = (int) c + 32;
System.out.println((char)n);

Output

Explanation

int n = (int) c + 32 ⇒ 65 + 32 ⇒ 97
So, variable n get the value of 97. 97 is the ASCII code of small a so casting n to char, prints a to
the console.

Question 3

String s= "7";
int t =Integer.parseInt(s);
t=t+1000;
System.out.println(t);

Output

1007

Explanation

Integer.parseInt() converts "7" into an int value i.e. the decimal number 7. t+1000 adds the
number 7 to 1000 giving 1007 as the output.

Question 4

char c = 'B';
int i = 4;
System.out.println(c+i);
System.out.println((int)c+i);

Output

70
70

Explanation

In the expression c + i, c is of type char and i is of type int. As int is the higher type so char
gets promoted to int. Thus, ASCII code of 'B' which is 66 is added to 4 giving the output as 70.
This is an example of implicit type conversion.
In the next expression (int)c + i, c which is of char type is explicitly casted to int. Again,
ASCII code of 'B' which is 66 is added to 4 giving the output as 70. This is an example of
explicit type conversion.

Question 5

char ch = 'y';
char chr = Character.toUpperCase(ch);
int p = (int) chr;
System.out.println(chr + "\t" + p);

Output

Y 89

Explanation

Character.toUpperCase()method converts small y to capital Y so chr gets the value of 'Y'.

Casting chr to int gives the ASCII code of 'Y' which is 89.

Question 6

int n = 97;
char ch = Character.toUpperCase((char)n);
System.out.println(ch + " Great Victory");

Output

A Great Victory

Explanation

97 is the ASCII code of small a so Character.toUpperCase((char)n) returns capital A which

is stored in ch.

Question 7

char ch = 'x'; int n = 5;

n = n + (int)ch;
char c = (char)n;
System.out.println((char)((int)c-26));

Output

Explanation
As ASCII code of 'x' is 120, so the expession n + (int)ch ⇒ 5 + 120 ⇒ 125. After that, the
expression (char)((int)c-26) ⇒ (char)(125 - 26) ⇒ (char)99 ⇒ 'c' as ASCII code of 'c' is 99.
So, c is the final output.

Question 8

char ch = 'A';
char chr = Character.toLowerCase(ch);
int n = (int)chr-32;
System.out.println((char)n + "\t" + chr);

Output

A a

Explanation

Character.toLowerCase() converts 'A' to 'a'. ASCII code of 'a' is 97. n becomes 65 —

(int)chr-32 ⇒ 97 - 32 ⇒ 65. 65 is the ASCII code of 'A'.
