Class 10 - ICSE Computer Applications Solved Question Papers

Section A

Question 1

(a) Define the term Bytecode.

Answer

Java compiler converts Java source code into an intermediate binary code called
Bytecode. Bytecode can't be executed directly on the processor. It needs to be converted
into Machine Code first.

(b) What do you understand by type conversion? How is implicit conversion

different from explicit conversion?

Answer

The process of converting one predefined type into another is called type conversion. In
an implicit conversion, the result of a mixed mode expression is obtained in the higher
most data type of the variables without any intervention by the user. For example:

int a = 10;
float b = 25.5f, c;
c = a + b;

In case of explicit type conversion, the data gets converted to a type as specified by the
programmer. For example:

int a = 10;
double b = 25.5;
float c = (float)(a + b);

(c) Name two jump statements and their use.

Answer

break statement, it is used to jump out of a switch statement or a loop. continue

statement, it is used to skip the current iteration of the loop and start the next iteration.

1/20
(d) What is Exception? Name two exception handling blocks.

Answer

An exception is an event, which occurs during the execution of a program, that disrupts
the normal flow of the program's instructions. Two exception handling blocks are try and
catch.

(e) Write two advantages of using functions in a program.

Answer

1. Methods help to manage the complexity of the program by dividing a bigger

complex task into smaller, easily understood tasks.
2. Methods help with code reusability.

Question 2

(a) State the purpose and return data type of the following String functions:

1. indexOf()
2. compareTo()

Answer

1. indexOf() returns the index within the string of the first occurrence of the specified
character or -1 if the character is not present. Its return type is int.
2. compareTo() compares two strings lexicographically. Its return type is int.

(b) What is the result stored in x, after evaluating the following expression?

int x = 5;
x = x++ * 2 + 3 * --x;

Answer

x = x++ * 2 + 3 * --x
⇒x=5*2+3*5
⇒ x = 10 + 15
⇒ x = 25

(c) Differentiate between static and non-static data members.

Answer

Static Data Members Non-Static Data Members

They are declared using keyword 'static'. They are declared without using keyword
'static'.

2/20
 Static Data Members Non-Static Data Members

All objects of a class share the same Each object of the class gets its own copy
copy of Static data members. of Non-Static data members.

They can be accessed using the class They can be accessed only through an
name or object. object of the class.

(d) Write the difference between length and length().

Answer

length length()

length is an attribute i.e. a data member of array. length() is a member method of

String class.

It gives the length of an array i.e. the number of It gives the number of characters
elements stored in an array. present in a string.

(e) Differentiate between private and protected visibility modifiers.

Answer

Private members are only accessible inside the class in which they are defined and they
cannot be inherited by derived classes. Protected members are also only accessible
inside the class in which they are defined but they can be inherited by derived classes.

Question 3

(a) What do you understand by the term data abstraction? Explain with an example.

Answer

Data Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features without including the
background details or explanations. A Switchboard is an example of Data Abstraction. It
hides all the details of the circuitry and current flow and provides a very simple way to
switch ON or OFF electrical appliances.

(b)(i) What will be the output of the following code?

int m = 2;
int n = 15;
for(int i = 1; i < 5; i++);
m++;
--n;
System.out.println("m = " + m);
System.out.println("n = " + n);

Answer

Output

3/20
m=6
n=14

Explanation
As there are no curly braces after the for loop so only the statement m++; is inside the
loop. Loop executes 4 times so m becomes 6. The next statement --n; is outside the loop
so it is executed only once and n becomes 14.

(b)(ii) What will be the output of the following code?

char x = 'A';
int m;
m = (x == 'a')? 'A' : 'a';
System.out.println("m = " + m);

Answer

Output

m = 97

Explanation
The condition x == 'a' is false as X has the value of 'A'. So, the ternary operator returns 'a'
that is assigned to m. But m is an int variable not a char variable. So, through implicit
conversion Java converts 'a' to its numeric ASCII value 97 and that gets assigned to m.

(c) Analyze the following program segment and determine how many times the
loop will be executed and what will be the output of the program segment.

int k = 1, i = 2;
while(++i < 6)
k *= i;
System.out.println(k);

Answer

Output

60

Explanation
This table shows the change in values of i and k as while loop iterates:

i k Remarks

2 1 Initial values

3 3 1st Iteration

4 12 2nd Iteration

5 60 3rd Iteration

4/20
 i k Remarks

6 60 Once i becomes 6, condition is false and loop stops iterating.

Notice that System.out.println(k); is not inside while loop. As there are no curly
braces so only the statement k *= i; is inside the loop. The statement
System.out.println(k); is outside the while loop, it is executed once and prints value
of k which is 60 to the console.

(d) Give the prototype of a function check which receives a character ch and an
integer n and returns true or false.

Answer

boolean check(char ch, int n)

(e) State two features of a constructor.

Answer

1. A constructor has the same name as that of the class.

2. A constructor has no return type, not even void.

(f) Write a statement each to perform the following task on a string:

1. Extract the second-last character of a word stored in the variable wd.

2. Check if the second character of a string str is in uppercase.

Answer

1. char ch = wd.charAt(wd.length() - 2);

2. boolean res = Character.isUpperCase(str.charAt(1));

(g) What will the following function return when executed?

1. Math.max(-17, -19)
2. Math.ceil(7.8)

Answer

1. -17
2. 8.0

(h)(i) Why is an object called an instance of a class?

Answer

A class can create objects of itself with different characteristics and common behaviour.
So, we can say that an Object represents a specific state of the class. For these reasons,
an Object is called an Instance of a Class.

5/20
(h)(ii) What is the use of the keyword import?

Answer

import keyword is used to import built-in and user-defined packages into our Java
program.

Section B

Class 10 - ICSE Computer Applications Solved Question Papers

Section A

Question 1

(a) What is the difference between an object and a class?

Answer

A class is a blue print that represents a set of objects that share common characteristics
and behaviour whereas an object is a specific instance of a class having a specific
identity, specific characteristics and specific behaviour.

(b) What does the token 'keyword' refer to in the context of Java? Give an example
for keyword.

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.
An example of keyword is class.

(c) State the difference between entry controlled loop and exit controlled loop.

Answer

Entry controlled loop Exit controlled loop

It checks the condition at the time of It checks the condition after executing its body. If
entry. Only if the condition is true, the condition is true, loop will perform the next
the program control enters the body iteration otherwise program control will move out
of the loop. of the loop.

Loop does not execute at all if the The loop executes at least once even if the
condition is false. condition is false.

Example: for and while loops Example: do-while loop

(d) What are the two ways of invoking functions?

1/18
Answer

Two ways of invoking functions are:

1. Pass by value.
2. Pass by reference.

(e) What is the difference between / and % operators?

Answer

/ %

Division operator Modulus operator

Returns the quotient of division operation Returns the remainder of division operation

Example: int a = 5 / 2; Here a will get the Example: int b = 5 % 2; Here b will get the
value of 2 which is the quotient of this value of 1 which is the remainder of this
division operation division operation

Question 2

(a) State the total size in bytes, of the arrays a[4] of char data type and p[4] of float
data type.

Answer

Size of char a[4] is 4 × 2 = 8 Bytes.

Size of float p[4] is 4 × 4 = 16 Bytes.

(b) (i) Name the package that contains Scanner class.

(ii) Which unit of the class gets called, when the object of the class is created?

Answer

(i) java.util
(ii) Constructor

(c) Give the output of the following:

String n = "Computer Knowledge";

String m = "Computer Applications";
System.out.println(n.substring(0, 8).concat(m.substring(9)));
System.out.println(n.endsWith("e"));

Answer

Output

ComputerApplications
true

2/18
Explanation
n.substring(0,8) returns the substring of n starting at index 0 till 7 (i.e. 8 - 1 = 7) which is
"Computer". m.substring(9) returns the substring of m starting at index 9 till the end of the
string which is "Applications". concat() method joins "Computer" and "Applications"
together to give the output as ComputerApplications.

(d) Write the output of the following:

1. System.out.println(Character.isUpperCase('R'));
2. System.out.println(Character.toUpperCase('j'));

Answer

1. true
2. J

(e) What is the role of keyword void in declaring functions?

Answer

The keyword 'void' signifies that the function doesn't return a value to the calling function.

Question 3

(a) Analyze the following program segment and determine how many times the
loop will be executed and what will be the output of the program segment?

int p = 200;
while(true){
if(p < 100)
break;
p = p - 20;
}
System.out.println(p);

Answer

Output

80

The loop executes 6 times

Explanation

p Remarks

200 Initial Value

180 1st Iteration

160 2nd Iteration

3/18
 p Remarks

140 3rd Iteration

120 4th Iteration

100 5th Iteration

80 6th Iteration. Now p < 100 becomes true so break statement is executed
terminating the loop.

(b) What will be the output of the following code?

(i)

int k = 5, j = 9;
k += k++ - ++j + k;
System.out.println("k = " + k);
System.out.println("j = " + j);

(ii)

double b = -15.6;
double a = Math.rint(Math.abs(b));
System.out.println("a = " + a);

Answer

(i)

Output

k = 6
j = 10

Explanation
k += k++ - ++j + k
⇒ k = 5 + (5 - 10 + 6)
⇒k=5+1
⇒k=6

++j increments j to 10

(ii)

Output

16.0

Explanation
Math.abs(-15.6) gives 15.6. Math.rint(15.6) gives 16.0.

(c) Explain the concept of constructor overloading with an example.

4/18
Answer

Constructor overloading is a technique in Java through which a class can have more than
one constructor with different parameter lists. The different constructors of the class are
differentiated by the compiler using the number of parameters in the list and their types.
For example, the Rectangle class below has two constructors:

class Rectangle {
int length;
int breadth;

//Constructor 1
public Rectangle() {
length = 0;
breadth = 0;
}

//Constructor 2
public Rectangle(int l, int b) {
length = l;
breadth = b;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {

//Constructor 1 called
Rectangle obj1 = new Rectangle();

//Constructor 2 called
Rectangle obj2 = new Rectangle(10, 15);
}
}

(d) Give the prototype of a function search which receives a sentence 'sent' and
word 'w' and returns 1 or 0.

Answer

int search(String sent, String w)

(e) Write an expression in Java for:

z=x+y5x3+2y​

Answer

z = (5 * x * x * x + 2 * y) / (x + y)

(f) Write a statement each to perform the following tasks on a string:

1. Find and display the position of the last space in a string s.

2. Convert a number stored in a string variable x to double data type.

Answer

5/18
 1. System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf(" "));
2. double num = Double.parseDouble(x);

(g) Name the keyword that:

1. informs that an error has occurred in an input/output operation.

2. distinguishes between instance variable and class variable.

Answer

1. throws IOException
2. static

(h) What are library classes? Give an example.

Answer

Java Library classes are a set of predefined classes in the form of packages that are
provided to the programmer as part of Java installation. Library classes simplify the job of
programmers by providing built-in methods for common and non-trivial tasks like taking
input from user, displaying output to user, etc. For example, System class in java.lang
package of Java Library classes provides the print() and println() methods for displaying
output to user.

(i) Write one difference between Linear Search and Binary Search.

Answer

Linear search works on unsorted as well as sorted arrays whereas Binary search works
on only sorted arrays.

Question 6

10/18
Write a program to input a number and print whether the number is a special number or
not.

(A number is said to be a special number, if the sum of the factorial of the digits of the
number is same as the original number).

Example:
145 is a special number, because 1! + 4! + 5! = 1 + 24 + 120 = 145.
(Where ! stands for factorial of the number and the factorial value of a number is the
product of all integers from 1 to that number, example 5! = 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 120)

Answer

import java.util.Scanner;

public class KboatSpecialNum

{
public static int fact(int y) {
int f = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= y; i++) {
f *= i;
}
return f;
}

public static void main(String args[]) {

Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter number: ");
int num = in.nextInt();

int t = num;
int sum = 0;
while (t != 0) {
int d = t % 10;
sum += fact(d);
t /= 10;
}

if (sum == num)
System.out.println(num + " is a special number");
else
System.out.println(num + " is not a special number");

Question 2

(a) Create a class with one integer instance variable. Initialize the variable using:

1. default constructor
2. parameterized constructor

Answer

class Number {
int a;

public Number() {
a = 0;
}

public Number(int x) {
a = x;
}
}

(b) Complete the code below to create an object of Scanner class:

Scanner sc = ____ Scanner(__________);

Answer

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

(c) What is an array? Write a statement to declare an integer array of 10 elements.

Answer

An array is a structure to store a number of values of the same data type in contiguous
memory locations. The following statement declares an integer array of 10 elements:

int arr[] = new int[10];

(d) Name the search or sort algorithm that:

2/17
 1. Makes several passes through the array, selecting the next smallest item in
the array each time and placing it where it belongs in the array.
2. At each stage, compares the sought key value with the key value of the
middle element of the array.

Answer

1. Selection Sort
2. Binary Search

(e) Differentiate between public and private modifiers for members of a class.

Answer

public modifier makes the class members accessible both within and outside their class
whereas private modifier makes the class members accessible only within the class in
which they are declared.

Question 3

(a) What are the values of x and y when the following statements are executed?

int a = 63, b = 36;

boolean x = (a > b)? true : false;
int y = (a < b)? a : b;

Answer

Output

x = true
y = 36

Explanation
The ternary operator (a > b)? true : false returns true as its condition a > b is true so
it returns its first expression that is true.

The ternary operator (a < b)? a : b returns b as its condition a < b is false so it returns
its second expression that is b. Value of b is 36 so y also becomes 36.

(b) State the values of n and ch.

char c = 'A';
int n = c + 1;
char ch = (char)n;

Answer

Value of n is 66 and ch is B.

int n = c + 1, here due to implicit conversion, 'A' will be converted to its ASCII value 65. 1
is added to it making the value of n 66.

3/17
char ch = (char)n, here through explicit conversion 66 is converted to its corresponding
character that is 'B' so value of ch becomes B.

(c) What will be the result stored in x after evaluating the following expression?

int x = 4;
x += (x++) + (++x) + x;

Answer

x += (x++) + (++x) + x
⇒ x = x + ((x++) + (++x) + x)
⇒ x = 4 + (4 + 6 + 6)
⇒ x = 4 + 16
⇒ x = 20

(d) Give output of the following program segment:

double x = 2.9, y = 2.5;

System.out.println(Math.min(Math.floor(x), y));
System.out.println(Math.max(Math.ceil(x), y));

Answer

Output

2.0
3.0

Explanation
Math.floor(2.9) gives 2.0. Math.min(2.0, 2.5) gives 2.0.

Math.ceil(2.9) gives 3.0. Math.max(3.0, 2.5) gives 3.0.

(e) State the output of the following program segment:

String s = "Examination";
int n = s.length();
System.out.println(s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n)));
System.out.println(s.charAt(2) == s.charAt(6));

Answer

Output

false
true

Explanation
Putting the value of n in s.substring(5, n), it becomes s.substring(5, 11). This gives
"nation". As s does not start with "nation" so s.startsWith(s.substring(5, n)) returns false.

s.charAt(2) is a and s.charAt(6) is also a so both are equal

4/17
(f) State the method that:

1. Converts a string to a primitive float data type.

2. Determines if the specified character is an uppercase character.

Answer

1. Float.parseFloat()
2. Character.isUpperCase()

(g) State the data type and values of a and b after the following segment is
executed:

String s1 = "Computer", s2 = "Applications"

a = (s1.compareTo(s2));
b = (s1.equals(s2));

Answer

Data type of a is int and value is 2. Data type of b is boolean and value is false.

(h) What will the following code output:

String s = "malayalam";
System.out.println(s.indexOf('m'));
System.out.println(s.lastIndexOf('m'));

Answer

Output

0
8

Explanation
The first m appears at index 0 and the last m appears at index 8.

(i) Rewrite the following program segment using while instead of for statement.

int f = 1, i;
for(i = 1; i <= 5; i++){
f *= i;
System.out.println(f);
}

Answer

int f = 1, i;
while (i <= 5) {
f *= i;
System.out.println(f);
i++;
}

5/17
(j) In the program given below, state the name and the value of the:

1. method argument or argument variable

2. class variable
3. local variable
4. instance variable

class MyClass{
static int x = 7;

Class 10 - ICSE Computer Applications Solved Question Papers

Section A

Question 1

(a) What is meant by precedence of operators?

Answer

Precedence of operators refers to the order in which the operators are applied to the
operands in an expression.

(b) What is a literal?

Answer

Literals are data items that are fixed data values. Java provides different types of literals
like:

1. Integer Literals
2. Floating-Point Literals
3. Boolean Literals
4. Character Literals
5. String Literals
6. null Literal

(c) State the Java concept that is implemented through:

1. a superclass and a subclass.

2. the act of representing essential features without including background
details.

Answer

1. Inheritance
2. Abstraction

(d) Give a difference between a constructor and a method.

1/18
Answer

Constructor has the same name as class name whereas function should have a different
name than class name.

(e) What are the types of casting shown by the following examples?

1. double x = 15.2;
int y = (int) x;

2. int x = 12;
long y = x;

Answer

1. Explicit Type Casting

2. Implicit Type Casting

Question 2

(a) Name any two wrapper classes.

Answer

Two wrapper classes are:

1. Integer
2. Character

(b) What is the difference between a break statement and a continue statement
when they occur in a loop?

Answer

When the break statement gets executed, it terminates its loop completely and control
reaches to the statement immediately following the loop. The continue statement
terminates only the current iteration of the loop by skipping rest of the statements in the
body of the loop.

(c) Write statements to show how finding the length of a character array char[]
differs from finding the length of a String object str.

Answer

Java code snippet to find length of character array:

char ch[] = {'x', 'y', 'z'};

int len = ch.length

Java code snippet to find length of String object str:

2/18
String str = "Test";
int len = str.length();

(d) Name the Java keyword that:

1. indicates that a method has no return type.

2. stores the address of the currently-calling object.

Answer

1. void
2. this

(e) What is an exception?

Answer

An exception is an abnormal condition that arises in a code sequence at run time.

Exceptions indicate to a calling method that an abnormal condition has occurred.

Question 3

(a) Write a Java statement to create an object mp4 of class Digital.

Answer

Digital MP4 = new Digital();

(b) State the values stored in the variables str1 and str2:

String s1 = "good";
String s2 = "world matters";
String str1 = s2.substring(5).replace('t', 'n');
String str2 = s1.concat(str1);

Answer

Value stored in str1 is " manners" and str2 is "good manners". (Note that str1 begins with
a space.)

Explanation
s2.substring(5) gives a substring from index 5 till the end of the string which is " matters".
The replace method replaces all 't' in " matters" with 'n' giving " manners". s1.concat(str1)
joins together "good" and " manners" so "good manners" is stored in str2.

(c) What does a class encapsulate?

Answer

A class encapsulates data and behavior.

(d) Rewrite the following program segment using the if..else statement:

3/18
comm = (sale > 15000)? sale * 5 / 100 : 0;

Answer

if(sale > 15000)

comm = sale * 5 / 100;
else
comm = 0;

(e) How many times will the following loop execute? What value will be returned?

int x = 2, y = 50;
do{
++x;
y -= x++;
}while(x <= 10);
return y;

Answer

The loop will run 5 times and the value returned is 15.

(f) What is the data type that the following library functions return?

1. isWhitespace(char ch)
2. Math.random()

Answer

1. boolean
2. double

(g) Write a Java expression for:

(h) If int n[] = {1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 16}, what are the values of x and y?

x = Math.pow(n[4], n[2]);
y = Math.sqrt(n[5] + n[7]);

Answer

x = Math.pow(n[4], n[2]);
⇒ x = Math.pow(7, 3);
⇒ x = 343.0;

4/18
 y = Math.sqrt(n[5] + n[7]);
⇒ y = Math.sqrt(9 + 16);
⇒ y = Math.sqrt(25);
⇒ y = 5.0;

(i) What is the final value of ctr when the iteration process given below, executes?

int ctr = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= 5; i++)
for(int j = 1; j <= 5; j += 2)
++ctr;

Answer

The final value of ctr is 15.

The outer loop executes 5 times. For each iteration of outer loop, the inner loop executes
3 times. So the statement ++ctr; is executed a total of 5 x 3 = 15 times.

The valid comments are:

Option 1 — /*comment*/
Option 3 — //comment

(b) What is meant by a package ? Name any two java Application Programming
Interface packages.

Answer

A package is a named collection of Java classes that are grouped on the basis of their
functionality. Two java Application Programming Interface packages are:

1. java.util
2. java.io

(c) Name the primitive data type in Java that is:

1. a 64-bit integer and is used when you need a range of values wider than those
provided by int.
2. a single 16-bit Unicode character whose default value is '\u0000'.

Answer

1. long

1/17
 2. char

(d) State one difference between the floating point literals float and double.

float literals double literals

float literals have a size of 32 bits so they double literals have a size of 64 bits so
can store a fractional number with around they can store a fractional number with
6-7 total digits of precision. 15-16 total digits of precision.

(e) Find the errors in the given program segment and re-write the statements
correctly to assign values to an integer array.

int a = new int (5);

for (int i=0; i<=5; i++) a[i]=i;

Answer

Corrected Code:

int a[] = new int[5];

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
a[i] = i;

Question 2

lower precedence. Arrange the operators given below in order of higher
precedence to lower precedence:

1. &&
2. %
3. >=
4. ++

Answer

++
%
>=
&&

(b) Identify the statements listed below as assignment, increment, method

invocation or object creation statements.

1. System.out.println("Java");
2. costPrice = 457.50;
3. Car hybrid = new Car();

2/17
 4. petrolPrice++;

Answer

1. Method Invocation
2. Assignment
3. Object Creation
4. Increment

(c) Give two differences between the switch statement and the if-else statement

Answer

switch if-else

switch can only test if the if-else can test for any boolean expression like
expression is equal to any of its less than, greater than, equal to, not equal to,
case constants etc.

It is a multiple branching flow of It is a bi-directional flow of control statement

control statement

(d) What is an infinite loop? Write an infinite loop statement.

Answer

A loop which continues iterating indefinitely and never stops is termed as infinite loop.
Below is an example of infinite loop:

for (;;)
System.out.println("Infinite Loop");

(e) What is constructor? When is it invoked?

Answer

A constructor is a member method that is written with the same name as the class name
and is used to initialize the data members or instance variables. A constructor does not
have a return type. It is invoked at the time of creating any object of the class.

Question 3

(a) List the variables from those given below that are composite data types:

1. static int x;
2. arr[i]=10;
3. obj.display();
4. boolean b;
5. private char chr;
6. String str;

3/17
Answer

The composite data types are:

arr[i]=10;
obj.display();
String str;

(b) State the output of the following program segment:

String str1 = "great"; String str2 = "minds";

System.out.println(str1.substring(0,2).concat(str2.substring(1)));
System.out.println(("WH" + (str1.substring(2).toUpperCase())));

Answer

The output of the above code is:

grinds
WHEAT

Explanation:

1. str1.substring(0,2) returns "gr". str2.substring(1) returns "inds". Due to concat both

are joined together to give the output as "grinds".
2. str1.substring(2) returns "eat". It is converted to uppercase and joined to "WH" to
give the output as "WHEAT".

(c) What are the final values stored in variable x and y below?

double a = -6.35;
double b = 14.74;
double x = Math.abs(Math.ceil(a));
double y = Math.rint(Math.max(a,b));

Answer

The final value stored in variable x is 6.0 and y is 15.0.

Explanation:

1. Math.ceil(a) gives -6.0 and Math.abs(-6.0) is 6.0.

2. Math.max(a,b) gives 14.74 and Math.rint(14.74) gives 15.0.

(d) Rewrite the following program segment using if-else statements instead of the
ternary operator:

String grade = (marks>=90)?"A": (marks>=80)? "B": "C";

Answer

4/17
String grade;
if (marks >= 90)
grade = "A";
else if (marks >= 80)
grade = "B";
else
grade = "C";

(e) Give the output of the following method:

public static void main (String [] args){

int a = 5;
a++;
System.out.println(a);
a -= (a--) - (--a);
System.out.println(a);}

Answer

Output

6
4

Explanation
1. a++ increments value of a by 1 so a becomes 6.
2. a -= (a--) - (--a)
⇒ a = a - ((a--) - (--a))
⇒ a = 6 - (6 - 4)
⇒a=6-2
⇒a=4

(f) What is the data type returned by the library functions :

1. compareTo()
2. equals()

Answer

1. int
2. boolean

(g) State the value of characteristic and mantissa when the following code is
executed:

String s = "4.3756";
int n = s.indexOf('.');
int characteristic=Integer.parseInt(s.substring(0,n));
int mantissa=Integer.valueOf(s.substring(n+1));

Answer

The value of characteristic is 4 and mantissa is 3756.

5/17
Index of . in String s is 1 so variable n is initialized to 1. s.substring(0,n) gives 4.
Integer.parseInt() converts string "4" into integer 4 and this 4 is assigned to the variable
characteristic.

s.substring(n+1) gives 3756 i.e. the string starting at index 2 till the end of s.
Integer.valueOf() converts string "3756" into integer 3756 and this value is assigned to the
variable mantissa.

(h) Study the method and answer the given questions.

public void sampleMethod()

{ for (int i=0; i < 3; i++)
{ for (int j = 0; j<2; j++)
{int number = (int)(Math.random() * 10);
System.out.println(number); }}}

1. How many times does the loop execute?

2. What is the range of possible values stored in the variable number?

Answer

1. The loops execute 6 times.

2. The range is from 0 to 9.

(i) Consider the following class:

public class myClass {

public static int x=3, y=4;
public int a=2, b=3;}

1. Name the variables for which each object of the class will have its own
distinct copy.
2. Name the variables that are common to all objects of the class.

Class 10 - ICSE Computer Applications Solved Question Papers

Section A

Question 1

(a) What are the default values of the primitive data type int and float?

Answer

Default value of int is 0 and float is 0.0f.

(b) Name any two OOP’s principles.

Answer

1. Encapsulation
2. Inheritance

(c) What are identifiers ?

Answer

Identifiers are symbolic names given to different parts of a program such as variables,
methods, classes, objects, etc.

(d) Identify the literals listed below:

(i) 0.5 (ii) 'A' (iii) false (iv) "a"

Answer

1. Real Literal
2. Character Literal
3. Boolean Literal
4. String Literal

(e) Name the wrapper classes of char type and boolean type.

Answer

1/17
Wrapper class of char type is Character and boolean type is Boolean.

Question 2

(a) Evaluate the value of n if value of p = 5, q = 19

int n = (q – p) > (p – q) ? (q – p) : (p – q);

Answer

int n = (q – p) > (p – q) ? (q – p) : (p – q)
⇒ int n = (19 - 5) > (5 - 19) ? (19 - 5) : (5 - 19)
⇒ int n = 14 > -14 ? 14 : -14
⇒ int n = 14 [∵ 14 > -14 is true so ? : returns 14]

Final value of n is 14

(b) Arrange the following primitive data types in an ascending order of their size:

(i) char (ii) byte (iii) double (iv) int

Answer

byte, char, int, double

(c) What is the value stored in variable res given below:

double res = Math.pow ("345".indexOf('5'), 3);

Answer

Value of res is 8.0

Index of '5' in "345" is 2. Math.pow(2, 3) means 23 which is equal to 8

(d) Name the two types of constructors

Answer

Parameterized constructors and Non-Parameterized constructors.

(e) What are the values of a and b after the following function is executed, if the
values passed are 30 and 50:

void paws(int a, int b)

{
a=a+b;
b=a–b;
a=a–b;
System.out.println(a+ "," +b);
}

Answer

2/17
Value of a is 50 and b is 30.
Output of the code is:

50,30

Question 3

(a) State the data type and value of y after the following is executed:

char x='7';
y=Character.isLetter(x);

Answer

Data type of y is boolean and value is false. Character.isLetter() method checks if its
argument is a letter or not and as 7 is a number not a letter hence it returns false.

(b) What is the function of catch block in exception handling ? Where does it
appear in a program ?

Answer

Catch block contains statements that we want to execute in case an exception is thrown
in the try block. Catch block appears immediately after the try block in a program.

(c) State the output when the following program segment is executed:

String a ="Smartphone", b="Graphic Art";

String h=a.substring(2, 5);
String k=b.substring(8).toUpperCase();
System.out.println(h);
System.out.println(k.equalsIgnoreCase(h));

Answer

The output of the above code is:

art
true

Explanation
a.substring(2, 5) extracts the characters of string a starting from index 2 till index 4. So h
contains the string "art". b.substring(8) extracts characters of b from index 8 till the end so
it returns "Art". toUpperCase() converts it into uppercase. Thus string "ART" gets
assigned to k. Values of h and k are "art" and "ART", respectively. As both h and k differ in
case only hence equalsIgnoreCase returns true.

(d) The access specifier that gives the most accessibility is ________ and the least
accessibility is ________.

Answer

3/17
The access specifier that gives the most accessibility is public and the least accessibility
is private.

(e) (i) Name the mathematical function which is used to find sine of an angle given
in radians.
(ii) Name a string function which removes the blank spaces provided in the prefix
and suffix of a string.

Answer

(i) Math.sin() (ii) trim()

(f) (i) What will this code print ?

int arr[]=new int[5];

System.out.println(arr);

1. 0
2. value stored in arr[0]
3. 0000
4. garbage value

Answer

This code will print garbage value

(ii) Name the keyword which is used- to resolve the conflict between method
parameter and instance variables/fields.

Answer

this keyword

(g) State the package that contains the class:

1. BufferedReader
2. Scanner

Answer

1. java.io
2. java.util

(h) Write the output of the following program code:

4/17
char ch ;
int x=97;
do
{
ch=(char)x;
System.out.print(ch + " " );
if(x%10 == 0)
break;
++x;
} while(x<=100);

Answer
The output of the above code is:

Encapsulation is a mechanism that binds together code and the data it manipulates. It
keeps them both safe from the outside world, preventing any unauthorised access or
misuse. Only member methods, which are wrapped inside the class, can access the data
and other methods.

(b) What are keywords ? Give an example.

Answer

Keywords are reserved words that have a special meaning to the Java compiler.
Example: class, public, int, etc.

(c) Name any two library packages.

Answer

Two library packages are:

1. java.io
2. java.util

(d) Name the type of error ( syntax, runtime or logical error) in each case given

1. p = x.length
2. q = x[2] + x[5] * x[1]

Answer

1. 6
2. q = x[2] + x[5] * x[1]
q = 7 + 10 * 3
q = 7 + 30
q = 37

Question 2

(a) State the difference between == operator and equals() method.

Answer

equals() ==

It is a method It is a relational operator

It is used to check if the contents of two It is used to check if two variables refer to
strings are same or not the same object in memory

Example: Example:
String s1 = new String("hello"); String s1 = new String("hello");
String s2 = new String("hello"); String s2 = new String("hello");
boolean res = s1.equals(s2); boolean res = s1 == s2;
System.out.println(res); System.out.println(res);

The output of this code snippet is true as The output of this code snippet is false as
contents of s1 and s2 are the same. s1 and s2 point to different String objects.

1/19
(e) String x[] = {"SAMSUNG", "NOKIA", "SONY", "MICROMAX", "BLACKBERRY"};

Give the output of the following statements:

1. System.out.println(x[1]);
2. System.out.println(x[3].length());

Answer

1. The output of System.out.println(x[1]); is NOKIA. x[1] gives the second

element of the array x which is "NOKIA"

2. The output of System.out.println(x[3].length()); is 8. x[3].length() gives

the number of characters in the fourth element of the array x which is MICROMAX.

Question 2

(a) Name the following:

1. A keyword used to call a package in the program.

2. Any one reference data type.

Answer

1. import
2. Array

(b) What are the two ways of invoking functions?

Answer

Call by value and call by reference.

(c) State the data type and value of res after the following is executed:

char ch='t';
res= Character.toUpperCase(ch);

Answer

Data type of res is char and its value is T.

(d) Give the output of the following program segment and also mention the number
of times the loop is executed:

int a,b;
for (a = 6, b = 4; a <= 24; a = a + 6)
{
if (a%b == 0)
break;
}
System.out.println(a);

2/19
Answer

Output of the above code is 12 and loop executes 2 times.

Explanation
This dry run explains the working of the loop.

a b Remarks

6 4 1st Iteration

12 4 2nd Iteration

In 2nd iteration, as a%b becomes 0 so break statement is executed and the loop exits.
Program control comes to the println statement which prints the output as current value of
a which is 12.

(e) Write the output:

char ch = 'F';
int m = ch;
m=m+5;
System.out.println(m + " " + ch);

Answer

Output of the above code is:

75 F

Explanation

The statement int m = ch; assigns the ASCII value of F (which is 70) to variable m.
Adding 5 to m makes it 75. In the println statement, the current value of m which is 75 is
printed followed by space and then value of ch which is F.

Question 3

(a) Write a Java expression for the following:

ax5 + bx3 + c

Answer

a * Math.pow(x, 5) + b * Math.pow(x, 3) + c

(b) What is the value of x1 if x=5?

x1= ++x – x++ + --x

Answer

3/19
 x1 = ++x – x++ + --x
⇒ x1 = 6 - 6 + 6
⇒ x1 = 0 + 6
⇒ x1 = 6

(c) Why is an object called an instance of a class?

Answer

A class can create objects of itself with different characteristics and common behaviour.
So, we can say that an Object represents a specific state of the class. For these reasons,
an Object is called an Instance of a Class.

(d) Convert following do-while loop into for loop.

int i = 1;
int d = 5;
do {
d=d*2;
System.out.println(d);
i++ ; } while ( i<=5);

Answer

int i = 1;
int d = 5;
for (i = 1; i <= 5; i++) {
d=d*2;
System.out.println(d);
}

(e) Differentiate between constructor and function.

Answer

Constructor Function

Constructor is a block of code Function is a group of statements that can be called at

that initializes a newly created any point in the program using its name to perform a
object. specific task.

Constructor has the same Function should have a different name than class
name as class name. name.

Constructor has no return Function requires a valid return type.

type not even void.

(f) Write the output for the following:

String s="Today is Test";

System.out.println(s.indexOf('T'));
System.out.println(s.substring(0,7) + " " +"Holiday");

4/19
Answer

Output of the above code is:

0
Today i Holiday

Explanation
As the first T is present at index 0 in string s so s.indexOf('T') returns 0.
s.substring(0,7) extracts the characters from index 0 to index 6 of string s. So its result is
Today i. After that println statement prints Today i followed by a space and Holiday.

(g) What are the values stored in variables r1 and r2:

1. double r1 = Math.abs(Math.min(-2.83, -5.83));

2. double r2 = Math.sqrt(Math.floor(16.3));

Answer

1. r1 has 5.83
2. r2 has 4.0

Explanation
1. Math.min(-2.83, -5.83) returns -5.83 as -5.83 is less than -2.83. (Note that these are
negative numbers). Math.abs(-5.83) returns 5.83.
2. Math.floor(16.3) returns 16.0. Math.sqrt(16.0) gives square root of 16.0 which is 4.0.

(h) Give the output of the following code:

String A ="26", B="100";

String D=A+B+"200";
int x= Integer.parseInt(A);
int y = Integer.parseInt(B);
int d = x+y;
System.out.println("Result 1 = " + D);
System.out.println("Result 2 = " + d);

Answer

Output of the above code is:

Result 1 = 26100200
Result 2 = 126

Explanation
1. As A and B are strings so String D=A+B+"200"; joins A, B and "200" storing the
string "26100200" in D.
2. Integer.parseInt() converts strings A and B into their respective numeric values.
Thus, x becomes 26 and y becomes 100.
3. As Java is case-sensitive so D and d are treated as two different variables.

5/19
 4. Sum of x and y is assigned to d. Thus, d gets a value of 126.

(i) Analyze the given program segment and answer the following questions:

for(int i=3;i<=4;i++ ) {
for(int j=2;j<i;j++ ) {
System.out.print("" ); }
System.out.println("WIN" ); }

1. How many times does the inner loop execute?

2. Write the output of the program segment.

Answer

1. Inner loop executes 3 times.

(For 1st iteration of outer loop, inner loop executes once. For 2nd iteration of outer
loop, inner loop executes two times.)

2. Output:
WIN
WIN

(j) What is the difference between the Scanner class functions next() and
nextLine()?

Answer

next() nextLine()

It reads the input only till space so it It reads the input till the end of line so it can
can read only a single word. read a full sentence including spaces.

It places the cursor in the same line It places the cursor in the next line after reading
after reading the input. the input.

Class 10 - ICSE Computer Applications Solved Question Papers

Section A

Question 1

(a) Define abstraction.

Answer

Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features without including the
background details or explanation.

(b) Differentiate between searching and sorting.

Answer

Searching Sorting

Searching means to search for a Sorting means to arrange the elements of the
term or value in an array. array in ascending or descending order.

Linear search and Binary search are Bubble sort and Selection sort are examples of
examples of search techniques. sorting techniques.

(c) Write a difference between the functions isUpperCase( ) and toUpperCase( ).

Answer

isUpperCase( ) toUpperCase( )

isUpperCase( ) function checks if a given toUpperCase( ) function converts a

character is in uppercase or not. given character to uppercase.

Its return type is boolean. Its return type is char.

(d) How are private members of a class different from public members?

Answer

1/17
private members of a class can only be accessed by other member methods of the same
class whereas public members of a class can be accessed by methods of other classes
as well.

(e) Classify the following as primitive or non-primitive datatypes:

1. char
2. arrays
3. int
4. classes

Answer

1. Primitive
2. Non-Primitive
3. Primitive
4. Non-Primitive

Question 2

(a) (i) int res = 'A';

What is the value of res?

Answer

Value of res is 65 which is the ASCII code of A. As res is an int variable and we are trying
to assign it the character A so through implicit type conversion the ASCII code of A is
assigned to res.

(ii) Name the package that contains wrapper classes.

Answer

java.lang

(b) State the difference between while and do while loop.

Answer

while do-while

It is an entry-controlled loop. It is an exit-controlled loop.

It is helpful in situations where numbers of It is suitable when we need to display

iterations are not known. a menu to the user.

(c) System.out.print("BEST ");

System.out.println("OF LUCK");

Choose the correct option for the output of the above statements

2/17
 1. BEST OF LUCK
2. BEST
OF LUCK

Answer

Option 1 — BEST OF LUCK is the correct option.

System.out.print does not print a newline at the end of its output so the println statement
begins printing on the same line. So the output is BEST OF LUCK printed on a single line.

(d) Write the prototype of a function check which takes an integer as an argument
and returns a character.

Answer

char check(int a)

(e) Write the return data type of the following function.

1. endsWith()
2. log()

a+b3x+x2 ​

Answer

Math.sqrt(3 * x + x * x) / (a + b)

(b) What is the value of y after evaluating the expression given below?

y+= ++y + y-- + --y; when int y=8

Answer

y+= ++y + y-- + --y

⇒ y = y + (++y + y-- + --y)
⇒ y = 8 + (9 + 9 + 7)
⇒ y = 8 + 25
⇒ y = 33

(c) Give the output of the following:

3/17
 1. Math.floor (-4.7)
2. Math.ceil(3.4) + Math.pow(2, 3)

Answer

1. -5.0
2. 12.0

(d) Write two characteristics of a constructor.

Answer

Two characteristics of a constructor are:

1. A constructor has the same name as its class.

2. A constructor does not have a return type.

(e) Write the output for the following:

System.out.println("Incredible"+"\n"+"world");

Answer

Output of the above code is:

Incredible
world

\n is the escape sequence for newline so Incredible and world are printed on two different
lines.

(f) Convert the following if else if construct into switch case

if( var==1)
System.out.println("good");
else if(var==2)
System.out.println("better");
else if(var==3)
System.out.println("best");

System.out.println("invalid");

Answer

4/17
switch (var) {
case 1:
System.out.println("good");
break;

case 2:
System.out.println("better");
break;

case 3:
System.out.println("best");
break;

default:
System.out.println("invalid");
}

(g) Give the output of the following string functions:

1. "ACHIEVEMENT".replace('E', 'A')
2. "DEDICATE".compareTo("DEVOTE")

Answer

1. ACHIAVAMANT
2. -18

Explanation
1. "ACHIEVEMENT".replace('E', 'A') will replace all the E's in ACHIEVEMENT with A's.
2. The first letters that are different in DEDICATE and DEVOTE are D and V
respectively. So the output will be:
ASCII code of D - ASCII code of V
⇒ 68 - 86
⇒ -18

(h) Consider the following String array and give the output

String arr[]= {"DELHI", "CHENNAI", "MUMBAI", "LUCKNOW", "JAIPUR"};

System.out.println(arr[0].length() > arr[3].length());
System.out.print(arr[4].substring(0,3));

Answer

Output of the above code is:

false
JAI

Explanation
1. arr[0] is DELHI and arr[3] is LUCKNOW. Length of DELHI is 5 and LUCKNOW is 7.
As 5 > 7 is false so the output is false.

5/17
 2. arr[4] is JAIPUR. arr[4].substring(0,3) extracts the characters from index 0 till index
2 of JAIPUR so JAI is the output.

(i) Rewrite the following using ternary operator:

if (bill > 10000 )

discount = bill * 10.0/100;
else
discount = bill * 5.0/100;

Answer

discount = bill > 10000 ? bill * 10.0/100 : bill * 5.0/100;

(j) Give the output of the following program segment and also mention how many
times the loop is executed:

int i;
for ( i = 5 ; i > 10; i ++ )
System.out.println( i );
System.out.println( i * 4 );

Answer

Output of the above code is:

20

Loop executes 0 times.

Explanation
In the loop, i is initialized to 5 but the condition of the loop is i > 10. As 5 is less than 10 so
the condition of the loop is false and it is not executed. There are no curly braces after the
loop which means that the statement System.out.println( i ); is inside the loop and
the statement System.out.println( i * 4 ); is outside the loop. Loop is not executed
so System.out.println( i ); is not executed but System.out.println( i * 4 );
being outside the loop is executed and prints the output as 20 (i * 4 ⇒ 5 * 4 ⇒ 20).

Class 10 - ICSE Computer Applications Solved Question Papers

Section A

Question 1

(a) Name any two basic principles of Object-oriented Programming.

Answer

1. Encapsulation
2. Inheritance

(b) Write a difference between unary and binary operator.

Answer

unary operators operate on a single operand whereas binary operators operate on two
operands.

(c) Name the keyword which:

1. indicates that a method has no return type.

2. makes the variable as a class variable

Answer

1. void
2. static

(d) Write the memory capacity (storage size) of short and float data type in bytes.

Answer

1. short — 2 bytes
2. float — 4 bytes

(e) Identify and name the following tokens:

1. public

1/17
 2. 'a'
3. ==
4. { }

Answer

1. Keyword
2. Literal
3. Operator
4. Separator

Question 2

(a) Differentiate between if else if and switch-case statements

Answer

if else if switch-case

if else if can test for any Boolean expression switch-case can only test if the
like less than, greater than, equal to, not equal expression is equal to any of its case
to, etc. constants.

if else if can use different expression involving switch-case statement tests the same
unrelated variables in its different condition expression against a set of constant
expressions. values.

(b) Give the output of the following code:

String P = "20", Q ="19";

int a = Integer.parseInt(P);
int b = Integer.valueOf(Q);
System.out.println(a+""+b);

Answer

Output of the above code is:

2019

Explanation
Both Integer.parseInt() and Integer.valueOf() methods convert a string into integer.
Integer.parseInt() returns an int value that gets assigned to a. Integer.valueOf() returns an
Integer object (i.e. the wrapper class of int). Due to auto-boxing, Integer object is
converted to int and gets assigned to b. So a becomes 20 and b becomes 19. 2019 is
printed as the output.

(c) What are the various types of errors in Java?

Answer

2/17
There are 3 types of errors in Java:

1. Syntax Error
2. Runtime Error
3. Logical Error

(d) State the data type and value of res after the following is executed:

char ch = '9';
res= Character.isDigit(ch);

Answer

Data type of res is boolean as return type of method Character.isDigit() is boolean. Its
value is true as '9' is a digit.

(e) What is the difference between the linear search and the binary search
technique?

Answer

Linear search Binary search

Linear search works on sorted and Binary search works on only sorted arrays.
unsorted arrays.

In Linear search, each element of the In Binary search, array is successively

array is checked against the target value divided into 2 halves and the target
until the element is found or end of the element is searched either in the first half
array is reached. or in the second half.

Linear Search is slower. Binary Search is faster.

(c) If the value of basic=1500, what will be the value of tax after the following
statement is executed?

tax = basic > 1200 ? 200 :100;

Answer

Value of tax will be 200. As basic is 1500, the condition of ternary operator — basic >
1200 is true. 200 is returned as the result of ternary operator and it gets assigned to tax.

(d) Give the output of following code and mention how many times the loop will
execute?

int i;
for( i=5; i>=1; i--)
{
if(i%2 == 1)
continue;
System.out.print(i+" ");
}

Answer

Output of the above code is:

4 2

Loop executes 5 times. The below table shows the dry run of the loop:

i Output Remark

5 1st Iteration — As i % 2 gives 1 so condition is true and continue

statement is executed. Nothing is printed in this iteration.

4 4 2nd Iteration — i % 2 is 0 so condition is false. Print statement prints 4

(current value of i) in this iteration.

3 4 3rd Iteration — i % 2 is 1 so continue statement is executed and nothing

is printed in this iteration.

2 42 4th Iteration — i % 2 is 0. Print statement prints 2 (current value of i) in

this iteration.

1 42 5th Iteration — i % 2 is 1 so continue statement is executed and nothing is

printed in this iteration.

0 42 As condition of loop (i >= 1) becomes false so loops exits and 6th iteration
does not happen.

(e) State a difference between call by value and call by reference.

Answer

4/17
In call by value, actual parameters are copied to formal parameters. Any changes to
formal parameters are not reflected onto the actual parameters. In call by reference,
formal parameters refer to actual parameters. The changes to formal parameters are
reflected onto the actual parameters.

(f) Give the output of the following:

Math.sqrt(Math.max(9,16))

Answer

The output is 4.0.

First Math.max(9,16) is evaluated. It returns 16, the greater of its arguments.
Math.sqrt(Math.max(9,16)) becomes Math.sqrt(16). It returns the square root of 16 which
is 4.0.

(g) Write the output for the following:

String s1 = "phoenix"; String s2 ="island";

System.out.println(s1.substring(0).concat(s2.substring(2)));
System.out.println(s2.toUpperCase());

Answer

The output of above code is:

phoenixland
ISLAND

Explanation
s1.substring(0) results in phoenix. s2.substring(2) results in land. concat method joins
both of them resulting in phoenixland. s2.toUpperCase() converts island to uppercase.

(h) Evaluate the following expression if the value of x=2, y=3 and z=1.

v=x + --z + y++ + y

Answer

v = x + --z + y++ + y
⇒v=2+0+3+4
⇒v=9

(i) String x[] = {"Artificial intelligence", "IOT", "Machine learning", "Big data"};

Give the output of the following statements:

1. System.out.println(x[3]);
2. System.out.println(x.length);

Answer

5/17
 1. Big data
2. 4

(j) What is meant by a package? Give an example.

Answer

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