Introduction to Java & BlueJ

Solutions for Computer Studies, Class 8, ICSE

Answer the following

6 questions

Question 1

Define objects. Give a real life example to explain objects along with their attributes and behaviour.

Answer the following

Answer:

An object represents data (attributes) and its related methods (behaviour) as a single unit. Take the example of a car. When we describe a car as an object, there are a number of physical factors which contribute to define its state such as its brand name, colour, speed, size, number of seats, etc. In addition, the car has several functional definitions. It transports people to different locations by controlling its speed and direction, an accelerator to increase or decrease its speed and brakes to stop it. Thus we can say that car is an object that combines its attributes and behaviour as a single unit.

Question 2

What is class?

Answer the following

Answer:

A class is a blueprint to create objects. It defines data and functions common to all objects of a certain kind.

Question 3

What do you understand by the term Polymorphism?

Answer the following

Answer:

The word Polymorphism means "many forms". Polymorphism helps the programmer to use the same function name for more than one purpose.

Question 4

What are operators? Why do we need them?

Answer the following

Answer:

Operators are special symbols that are used to perform calculations. We need operators to form expressions by applying them to the variables and constants.

Question 5

What do you understand by the term Keyword?

Answer the following

Answer:

Keywords are reserved words that have a special meaning for the Java compiler. Java compiler reserves these words for its own use so Keywords cannot be used as identifiers. For example, void, public, class, int, etc.

Question 6

What are variables? How are they different from Constants?

Answer the following

Answer:

A variable is a named location in the memory which stores data temporarily. A variable has a unique name, a type and a size that is used to identify it in a program.

Difference between variables and constants is that the value of variables can change during the execution of the program whereas value of constants are fixed and does not change during program execution.
