Question 25

Using the switch statement, write a menu driven program to:

  1. Generate and display the first 10 terms of the Fibonacci series 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5.... The first two Fibonacci numbers are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.
  2. Find the sum of the digits of an integer that is input.
    Sample Input: 15390
    Sample Output: Sum of the digits = 18
    For an incorrect choice, an appropriate error message should be displayed.
import java.util.Scanner;

public class KboatFibonacciNDigitSum
{
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("1. Fibonacci Series");
        System.out.println("2. Sum of digits");
        System.out.print("Enter your choice: ");
        int ch = in.nextInt();

        switch (ch) {
            case 1:
            int a = 0, b = 1;
            System.out.print(a + " " + b);
            /*
             * i is starting from 3 below
             * instead of 1 because we have 
             * already printed 2 terms of
             * the series. The for loop will 
             * print the series from third
             * term onwards.
             */
            for (int i = 3; i <= 10; i++) {
                int term = a + b;
                System.out.print(" " + term);
                a = b;
                b = term;
            }
            break;

            case 2:
            System.out.print("Enter number: ");
            int num = in.nextInt();
            int sum = 0;
            while (num != 0) {
                sum += num % 10;
                num /= 10;
            }
            System.out.println("Sum of Digits " + " = " + sum);
            break;

            default:
            System.out.println("Incorrect choice");
            break;
        }
    }
}
Output
BlueJ output of KboatFibonacciNDigitSum.java
BlueJ output of KboatFibonacciNDigitSum.java

Key Concepts Covered

This question tests your understanding of the following concepts from the chapter Iterative Constructs in Java: Question, Switch, Statement, Menu, Driven, Program. These are fundamental topics in Computer Applications that students are expected to master as part of the ICSE Class 10 curriculum.

A thorough understanding of these concepts will help you answer similar questions confidently in your ICSE examinations. These topics are frequently tested in both objective and subjective sections of Computer Applications papers. We recommend revising the relevant section of your textbook alongside practising these solved examples to build a strong foundation.

How to Approach This Question

Read the question carefully and identify what is being asked. Break down complex questions into smaller parts. Use the terminology and concepts discussed in this chapter. Structure your answer logically — begin with a definition or key statement, then provide supporting details. Review your answer to ensure it addresses all parts of the question completely.

Key Points to Remember

  • Write programs with proper indentation and comments.
  • Trace through your code with sample inputs to verify correctness.
  • Explain the logic behind each step of your solution.
  • Familiarise yourself with common library functions and methods.
