Answer: boolean display(int a, int b)
Description: As asked in question, a method prototype for the method namely display having two integer arguments were passed as parameters(). As integer variable names were not there, so we created our own variable namely a and b. At last, it is mentioned that the method should return the value in true/false and due to which boolean data type has been taken as we all know that boolean data type can store true or false values.
Similar Question

Question 13. Name the statement that brings the control back to the calling method.
Answer: return
Description:
The “return” keyword can help in transferring control from one method to the method that called it. Since the control jumps from one part of the program to another, the return is also a jump statement like break and continue.
“return” is a reserved keyword means we can’t use it as an identifier.
Similar Question
Name the statement that terminates the current loop or switch statement.
Answer: break
Description: The break statement is one of the jump statements that terminates the current loop or switch statement. The execution then continues from the statement immediately following the current loop or switch statement. The break statement consists of the keyword break followed by a semicolon.
Syntax of break statement:
break;
Name the statement that instructs the computer to skip the rest of the current iteration of the loop.
Answer: continue
Description: The continue statement is one of the jump statements that instructs the computer to skip the rest of the current iteration of the loop. Unlike the break statement which forces termination of the loop, the continue statement forces the next iteration of the loop to take place, skipping any instructions in between. The continue statement consists of the keyword continue followed by a semicolon.
Syntax of continue statement:
continue;
Question 14. Name the data type that can store true or false values.
Answer: boolean
Description:
boolean data type is used to store logical values. It can store only true or false.
Although the boolean data type needs only one bit of storage, the Java compiler reserves 8 bits (1 byte) for it.
Example of boolean Data type:
public class booleandemo
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
boolean x = true;
boolean y = false;
System.out.println(x);
System.out.println(y);
}
}
After executing the above code, following will be the output:
Question
15. Write a program to accept a string, then convert it into uppercase and
finally, display the first alphabet of each word.
Answer:
import java.util.*;
class Hello
{
public
static void main(String[]args)
{
Scanner
sr = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a string:");
String S
= sr.nextLine();
String
Su = S.toUpperCase();
System.out.println(Su.charAt(0));
for(int
i = 0;i<Su.length();i++)
{
if(Su.charAt(i)== ' ')
{
System.out.println(Su.charAt(i+1));
}
}
}
}
Let us Dry run the program:
1st, Enter a string will be displayed.
sr.nextLine(); will accept the input from user and
will store the string in the variable namely S of String data type.
S.toUpperCase(); will convert the string into
uppercase letters and the converted uppercase letters will be stored in the
variable namely Su of String data type.
System.out.println(Su.charAt(0)); will print the first
character of the string.
A loop have been created to ensure that it can read
the characters from index number 0 till last index number. (index of an array
is always -1 than the length of the array). It is accomplished using the code
below:
for(int i = 0;i<Su.length();i++)
The statement i.e., if(Su.charAt(i)== ' ') within the for loop
block will search for a space.
If it finds space, then the following statement will
get executed or else the loop will keep on executing till it reaches the last index position:
System.out.println(Su.charAt(i+1));
The above statement will print the character whose index is next to the index in which space is present.
In this way, the program will print the first
alphabet of each word on the screen.
Question 16. Consider the following program
public class hello
{
void swap(int i, int j)
{
i = j;
j = k;
int k = 0;
k = i;
System.out.println(i);
}
}
What will be the output of the above program? If any problem is encountered, rewrite the program for getting desired output.
Answer:
The above program when executed will show error as follows:
Undeclared variable: k
The corrected code should be like this:
public class hello
{
void swap(int i, int j)
{
int k = 0;
k = i;
i = j;
j = k;
System.out.println(i);
}
}
Description: Here, problem is with the arrangement of statement within the swap method. Simply, we need to change the ordering of the statements written inside the swap method.
Question 17. Write a Java program to print the length of the array.
Answer:
public class arraylength
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
int arr[]={2,6,8,12,37};
System.out.println("Length of the array is: "+arr.length);
}
}
After executing the above program, following will be the output:
Length of the array is: 5
Question 18. What will be the output after executing the below program?
public class hello
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
int x = 2,y = 3;
y*=x++ - ++y + ++x;
System.out.println("x= "+x);
System.out.println("y= "+y);
}
}
Answer:
Description:
y = y*2-4+4;
y = 3*2-4+4;
y = 6-4+4;
y = 2+4
y = 6
Present value of x is 4 and after evaluation, value of y became 6.
(Operator precedence is taken care of while evaluating the above expression)
Question 19. XYZ is a student of class X and while executing the code, error have been encountered. Identify the error and rewrite the code.
public class hello

public static void main(String[]args)
{
boolean inp = true;
switch(inp)
{
case 1:
System.out.println("Congratulations");
case 2:
System.out.println("Better luck next time");
}
}
}
Answer:
The above program when executed will produce the following error:
Incompatible types: int cannot be converted to boolean.
The corrected code shall be:
public class hello
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
int inp = 1;
switch(inp)
{
case 1:
System.out.println("Congratulations");
case 2:
System.out.println("Better luck next time");
}

Question 24. What will be the output after executing the below program?
class Hello
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
char ch = 'B';
char chr = Character.toLowerCase(ch);
int n = (int) chr-10;
System.out.println((char)n+"\t"+chr);
}
}
Answer: After executing the above program, the output
shall be:
X b
Description:
ch namely variable is holding B in it.
With the help of string accessor method i.e. Character.toLowerCase(ch), B have been converted to b and this lowercase letter b have been stored into chr.
The next line i.e. int n = (int) chr-10 states that the value contained within chr needs to be converted into integer and then, it should be subtracted by 10.
chr is a variable containing b in it. ASCII code of b is 98 and when it is subtracted by 10, it becomes 88. So, now 88 is stored into the new integer variable namely n.
In the print statement, it can be seen that the integer variable n is again getting converted to character. n is holding 88 and character X have the ASCII code 88. So, first X will get printed. Then "\t", the escape sequence character will insert a tab and finally, value stored in chr will get displayed which is b. Hence, output is coming as:
X b
Question 25. Write a java program to accept a number using
string data type. Then, convert the string to a numerical value so that square
root of the converted value can be obtained.
Answer:
import java.util.Scanner;
class Hello
{
public static void main(String[]args)
{
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter a number");
String s = sc.nextLine();
double x = Double.parseDouble(s);
double r = Math.sqrt(x);
System.out.println(r);
}
}
Description:
As it is asked, user input have been stored in a String variable namely s. Say for example, 25 have been given by user that is stored in s. Double.parseDouble() is used to parse String to double means that value stored as string can be converted using this method. Value of 25 which was stored as a string in variable namely s have been converted into double value and it is now stored in a variable called x. Now, x is containing 25. Then with the help of Math.sqrt() function, square root of x have been determined and it is stored in a new variable r. Finally, r is displayed.
