 Section B (60 Marks)
(Attempt any four questions from this Section.)
The answers in this section should consist of the programs in either BlueJ environment or any program
environment with Java as base.
Each program should be written using Variable descriptions / Mnemonic Codes so that the logic of the
program is clearly depicted.
Flow-charts and algorithms are not required.

Question 3
Design a class ‘Epidelco’ with the following specifications: [15]

Class name: Epidelco

Member variables:
double sale : to store the amount of sale
double com : to calculate and store the commission

Member methods:
Epidelco (double s, double c) : parameterized constructor to initialise the member
variables
void inputData() : to accept the amount of sale
void computeData() : to calculate the commission as per the following table -

Sale Amount Commission on sale

Up to ₹1,000 5%
₹1,001 to ₹2,000 10%
₹2,001 to ₹5,000 15%
Above ₹5,000 25%

void printData() : to display the amount of sale and commission in separate

lines

Define a main() method to create an object of the above class and invoke the member
methods to get the desired result.

Question 4
Define a class to overload a method display() for the purposes as follows: [15]

void display (int n) : to calculate and display the factorial of n

void display (int n, double x) : to display the sum of the following series:
𝑥 𝑥 𝑥
𝑥 + + + + ….. up to n terms
2 3 4
void display () : to display the following pattern:
4
45
456
4567

Question 5
Define a class to accept 10 integers (including positive and negative integers) in a single
dimensional array (SDA). Display all the negative numbers followed by the positive numbers
without changing the order of the numbers. [15]
Sample Input: 8, -7, 4, -3, 7, 23, -4, 98, -90, 33
Sample Output: -7, -3, -4, -90, 8, 4, 7, 23, 98, 33

Question 6
Write a program to declare an array for accepting a list of 30 integers. Sort the first 15
numbers in ascending order and the last 15 numbers in descending order by using the
mechanism of ‘Bubble Sort’. Finally print the original as well as the resultant array. [15]

Question 7
A ‘Palindrome word’ is a word that is identical to its reverse word and a ‘Special word’ is a
word that starts and ends with the same letter.
Define a class ‘PalinSpecial’ to accept a word and check whether the word is “Only
Palindrome”, or “Only Special”, or “Palindrome as well as Special” or “Neither Palindrome nor
Special”. [15]

Question 8
Write a program to declare an array country[ ] to accept and store the name of 10 countries
in alphabetical order and another array capital[ ] to accept and store their respective capital
cities. Now ask the user to enter the name of a country and search it using the technique of
‘Binary search’ in the first array. If it is found, display the name of the country along with its
capital city, otherwise display the message “COUNTRY NOT FOUND”. [15]
