(a) Re-write the following Java statement using the nested if-else construct:

boolean isSingle=true;
double income=3000;
String output;
output=(isSingle)?((income<=2500)?
"Qualified for BR1M":"Income is too high"):

(b) Re-write the following Java statement using the if-else statement:

switch(race){
case 'M': case 'm':
System.out.println("Malay");
break;
case 'C': case 'c':
System.out.println("Chinese");
break;
case 'I': case 'i':
System.out.println("Indian");
break;
default:

Question 4

Trace the output of the following program:

class TestPrint{
public static void main(String[]args){
for(int i=0;i<10;i++){
for(int j=0;j<5;j++){
System.out.print(i*2 - ++j + "^^");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

(Total: 20 marks)

Question 5

Write Java statements to accomplish the following tasks:

(a) Declare a public class named ‘Product’. Then create two attributes named
‘productName’ of type string and another named ‘unitPrice’ if type double with
default access modifier.
(6 marks)

(b) The ‘Product’ class contains two constructors. One of the constructor with no
arguments and another constructor accepts a string named ‘productName’ and an
integer named ‘unitPrice’.

For the constructor with no argument, initialize the data members ‘productName’ to
empty string and ‘unitPrice’ with values zero (0). For the constructor with two
arguments, initialize the data members ‘sName’ and ‘uPrice’ with the values passed
into the constructor.
(10 marks)

(c) Override the toString method to return the information of the product which consists
of the product name and the price of the product after incurring 6% of GST.
(4 marks)

Question 6

class TestToLowerCase{
public static void main (String[] args) {
ConvertToLowerCase s1 = new ConvertToLowerCase ("JOHNY");
ConvertToLowerCase s2 = new ConvertToLowerCase ("MACY");
s2.setText("BOBO");
System.out.print(s2.getText()+ ">>");
System.out.println(s2);
System.out.println();
System.out.print(s1.getText()+ ">>");
System.out.print(s1);
}
}

When the above code snippet is executed it produces the following output:

BOBO>>bobo

JOHNY>>johny

Construct a class named ConvertToLowerCase with constructor, data members, setter,

getter and override the toString method so that the above code can be compiled and executed
successfully.

[Hint:- user toLowerCase() method in String class to convert text to Lower Case]

Question 7

Consider the following numeric values stores in an array.

'C' '@' 'p' 'u' '*' 'S'

(a) Determine the size of the array.

(2 marks)

(b) Identify the values store in the first element of the array.
(2 marks)

(c) Identify the values store in the last element of the array.
(2 marks)

(d) Write a Java method accepting an array as a parameter. The method can determine
and display each of the elements in an array whether in alphabet or not.

[Hint:- upper case A to Z in java represented by integer values from between 65 to 90;
whether lower case a to z in java represented by integer values from 97 to 122.]
