Accepted Answer

Question 2

Question 2Explain data input technique in a program using the Scanner class.

Accepted Answer

The data entered by the user through the keyboard is provided to our Java program with the help of standard input stream that is specified as System.in in the program. We connect our Scanner class to this stream while creating its object. The input received by Scanner class is broken into tokens using a delimiter pattern. The default delimiter is whitespace. Scanner class provides various next methods to read these tokens from the stream. The different next methods provided by Scanner class are next(), nextShort(), nextInt(), nextLong(), nextFloat(), nextDouble(), nextLine(), next().charAt(0).

Question 3

Question 3What are delimiters? Which is the default delimiter used in the Scanner class?

Accepted Answer

A delimiter is a sequence of one or more characters that separates two tokens. The default delimiter is a whitespace.

Question 4

Question 4What are errors in a program?

Accepted Answer

Errors are mistakes in a program that prevents it from its normal working. They are often referred to as bugs. Errors are classified into three categories — Syntax Errors, Runtime Errors and Logical Errors.

Question 5

Question 5Explain the following terms, giving an example of each.i. Syntax error

Accepted Answer

Syntax Errors are the errors that occur when we violate the rules of writing the statements of the programming language. These errors are reported by the compiler and they prevent the program from executing. For example, the following statement will give an error as we missed terminating it with a semicolon:int sumii. Runtime errorErrors that occur during the execution of the program primarily due to the state of the program which can only be resolved at runtime are called Run Time errors.Consider the below example:import java.util.Scanner;

class RunTimeError
{
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
        int n = in.nextInt();
        int result = 100 / n;
        System.out.println("Result = " + result);
    }
}This program will work fine for all non-zero values of n entered by the user. When the user enters zero, a run-time error will occur as the program is trying to perform an illegal mathematical operation of division by 0. When we are compiling the program, we cannot say if division by 0 error will occur or not. It entirely depends on the state of the program at run-time.iii. Logical errorWhen a program compiles and runs without errors but produces an incorrect result, this type of error is known as logical error. It is caused by a mistake in the program logic which is often due to human error. Logical errors are not caught by the compiler. Consider the below example for finding the perimeter of a rectangle with length 2 and breadth 4:class RectanglePerimeter
{
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        int l = 2, b = 4;
        double perimeter = 2 * (l * b);    //This line has a logical error
        System.out.println("Perimeter = " + perimeter);
    }
}OutputPerimeter = 16
The program gives an incorrect perimeter value of 16 as the output due to a logical error. The correct perimeter is 12. We have written the formula of calculating perimeter incorrectly in the line double perimeter = 2 * (l * b);. The correct line should be double perimeter = 2 * (l + b);.

Question 6

Question 7A program has compiled successfully without any errors. Does this mean the program is error free? Explain.

Accepted Answer

Successful compilation of the program only ensures that there are no syntax errors. Runtime and logical errors can still be there in the program so we cannot say that the program is error free. Only after comprehensive testing of the program, we can say that the program is error free.

Question 7

Question 10What is a java package? Give an example.

Accepted Answer

A package is a named collection of Java classes that are grouped on the basis of their functionality. For example, java.util.

Question 8

Question 11Explain the use of import statement with an example.

Accepted Answer

import statement is used to import built-in and user-defined packages and classes into our Java program. For example, we can import all the classes present in the java.util package into our program using the below statement:import java.util.*;

Question 9

Question 12Distinguish between the following:i. next() and nextLine()

Accepted Answer

next()nextLine()It reads the input only till the next complete token until the delimiter is encountered.It reads the input till the end of line so it can read a full sentence including spaces.It places the cursor in the same line after reading the input.It places the cursor in the next line after reading the input.ii. next() and next().charAt(0)next()next().charAt(0)It reads the input only till the next complete token until the delimiter is encountered.It reads the complete token and then the first character is returned using the charAt(0) method.It returns the read data as a String value.It returns the read data as a char value.iii. next() and hasNext()next()hasNext()It reads the input till the next complete token until the delimiter is encountered.It checks if the Scanner has another token in its input.It returns a String value.It returns a boolean value.iv. hasNext() and hasNextLine()hasNext()hasNextLine()Returns true if the Scanner object has another token in its input.Returns true if there is another line in the input of the Scanner object.

Question 10

Question 13Consider the following input:    one, two three, four, fiveWhat values will the following code assign to the variables input1 and input2?    String input1 = keyboard.next();    String input2 = keyboard.next();

Accepted Answer
