Question 7 In Java the variables of a class type are introduced by field declarations. Thus an instance of a class (an object) will hold storage for each non static field that is declared within the class. If the field declaration is static it will be class wide and only one instance of the field will be held. Which of the following are valid field declarations? Assume that any necessary imports of classes have been made. private final int LUCKY = 7 + 0; private static int state = 42; private ArrayList<String> names = new ArrayList<>();. All the above are valid field declarations Question 8 In Java what is the largest whole number that can be held in an instance of a short: 127 32767 2147483647 None of the above.

Question 11 Which of the following statements about the Java language is true? Using Java it is impossible to write an incorrect program. You can always rewrite a for statement as a while statement. An if statement must always have an else part. A switch statement must always have a default label. Question 12 Which of the following statements about the Java language is false? A method is invoked when you send a message to an object. An object is an instance of a class. Several objects may be instances of the same class. A class may not contain two or more methods with the same name. CI101/2015/2016 Semester 1 Page 11 of 21 Printing date:05/12/2016
Question 13 Which of the following statements about the Java language is true? An array may be extended by inserting a new element at the end. An array index goes from 1 to the number of items in the array. There is no way at run time of finding the number of elements in an array. You can not use as an index to an array that is an instance of the class String. Question 14 Which of the following statements about the Java language is true? An instance of the class String is immutable (can not be changed). System.out.println( "hello".touppercase() ); Will print Hello static int a = 2; In subsequent code the value of a may not be changed. char c = "Brighton".charAt("Brighton".length() ); Will put 'n' into the variable c. Question 15 Which of the following statements about the Java language is true? A constructor with no parameters must be explicitly defined in a class. A constructor must have a void return type. A class may have at most 1 (one) constructor. A constructor in a class must have the same name as the class in which it is part of. CI101/2015/2016 Semester 1 Page 12 of 21 Printing date:05/12/2016
Question 16 Which of the following statements about the Java language is true? You do not need to use the class construct in a Java program that only consists of a single line of Java code. The class construct in Java helps simplify the process of reusing code contained in an existing program by another program. In a Java program a primitive type may be used anywhere a reference type may be used. The == operator should be used when comparing instances of the class String. Question 17 Which of the following statements about the Java language is true? A private method is visible to a programmer, who wishes to call the method from code that resides outside of the class. All classes in Java must have a method with the signature: An import statement can occur anywhere within a Java program. A class may have an inner class. Question 18 The debugger provided with the BlueJ IDE (Integrated Development Environment) will: Helps find syntax errors in your program. Helps find compile time semantic errors in your program. Helps find run-time logical errors in your program. All of the above. CI101/2015/2016 Semester 1 Page 13 of 21 Printing date:05/12/2016
Question 19 Which of the following statements about the Java language is true? A shallow copy is performed when you assign an instance of a reference type. A byte is an example of a primitive type. An array is an example of a reference type. All of the above. Question 20 In relationship to the standard conventions used for writing a Java program which of the following is true? The convention is that a mutable (can be changed at run-time) variable name starts with a lower case letter. The convention is that a method name starts with a lower case letter. The convention is that a class starts with an upper case letter. All of the above. CI101/2015/2016 Semester 1 Page 14 of 21 Printing date:05/12/2016
2.1 15 Marks Section B Section B carries 50 marks Brief A Java application has been written to input an integer number which represents the width of an inverted pyramid. This pyramid made of stars is then printed against a background of dots. The width of the pyramid must be odd and greater than or equal to 7. If this is not true, then the error message Size must be odd or >= 7 is to be printed. Unfortunately the application contains in total 5 (Five) syntax, semantic or logical errors. Correct these errors in the application. Remember to only correct the errors and do not rewrite the program. A BlueJ project for this application named 2.1 is in the folder starting with ci101.exam at the top level on the h: drive. Using BlueJ correct these errors, so that the application produces the expected results. Example input data Commentary Example Input 7 Width of pyramid picture. Expected output *******.*****...***.....*... Special instructions Remember any line printed that contains a # will not be considered as part of your answer. This is so that you can write out a meaningful prompt for any data (containing a # character) and this line of text will be ignored in the comparison of your answer.

2.2 15 Marks Brief A Java application has been written to process data for units used by mobile phone users. Customers are charged a flat rate of 4p for each unit used. The data consists of: The mobile phone number The value of the last months units used The value of the current months units used The data is terminated with a mobile phone number of 0. The data is to be checked for potential problems and to highlight and report the number of problems found in the data. HIGH OK CHECK INACTIVE The data indicates that a high number of units have been used. High is defined as more than 1000 units used ( 40) The data looks normal. The data indicates that a negative amount of units have been used. The data indicates that the mobile phone has not been used. The results for each phone are reported on a single line, for example with the data: 0712345672 1000 999 0 Then the result printed would be: Number Previous Current Used Comment 0712345672 1000 999 CHECK Summary of phone data High = 0 OK = 0 Check = 1 Inactive = 0 Unfortunately the application contains (in total 5 errors) syntax, semantic and logic errors. A BlueJ project for this application named 2.2 is in the folder starting with ci101.exam at the top level on the h: drive. Using BlueJ correct these errors, so that the application produces the expected results. P.T.O. CI101/2015/2016 Semester 1 Page 17 of 21 Printing date:05/12/2016

2.3 20 Marks Brief Write a Java application that reads in a value representing the width and height of a square picture that displays on a background of dots a cross made up of @ symbols. The picture includes a frame of stars. This style of picture is often referred to as ASCII art. For example if the number input was 5 then the following picture would be displayed: ASCII art picture size 5 ***** *@.@* *.@.* *@.@* ***** If the input value is not an odd number, then the following error message (if for example 8 were input) would be displayed: Error size (8) must be an odd number If the input value is less than 0 then the following error message (if for example -81 were input) would be displayed: Error size (-81) must be greater than 0 The data is terminated by the number 0 (Zero). A BlueJ project for this application named 2.3 is in the folder starting with ci101.exam at the top level on the h: drive. Using BlueJ construct the application to produce the ASCII art picture. Example input data Example 1 Input 9 0 Expected output ASCII art picture size 1 * ASCII art picture size 9 ********* *@...@* *.@...@.* *..@.@..* *...@...* *..@.@..* *.@...@.* *@...@* ********* Commentary Size of square Size of square Terminator CI101/2015/2016 Semester 1 Page 20 of 21 Printing date:05/12/2016
