1Assignment Questions

What are the library classes in Java? What is their use?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Library classes are the pre-written classes which are a part of the Java system. For example, the String and Scanner class.

Java environment has a huge library of library classes that contain pre-defined methods to simplify the job of a programmer. These methods support input/output operations, String handling and help in development of network and graphical user interface.

2(i)Assignment Questions

Define Primitive data type

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Primitive data types are pre-defined by the language and form the basic building blocks of representing data. They store a single value of a specific declared type at a time. The eight built-in primitive data types in Java are byte, short, int, long, float, double, char, boolean.

2(ii)Assignment Questions

Define Composite data type

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

A composite data type is a data type which can be constructed in a program using the programming language's primitive data types. It is a collection of primitive data types. Examples of composite data types are String and Array.

2(iii)Assignment Questions

Define User-defined data type

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The data type defined by the user to perform some specific task is known as a user-defined data type. For example, the classes created by the user are user defined data types.

3Assignment Questions

Why is a class called a composite data type? Explain.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

In a class, one can assemble items of different data types to create a composite data type. The class can also be considered as a new data type created by the user, that has its own functionality. The classes allow these user-defined types to be used in programs. Hence, a class is called a composite data type.

4Assignment Questions

What is a wrapper class? Name three wrapper classes in Java.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

A wrapper class allows us to convert a primitive data type into an object type. Each of Java's eight primitive data types has a wrapper class dedicated to it. These are known as wrapper classes because they wrap the primitive data type into an object of that class.

The three wrapper classes are Integer, Float and Double.

5Assignment Questions

Explain the terms, Autoboxing and Auto-unboxing in Java.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The automatic conversion of primitive data type into an object of its equivalent wrapper class is known as Autoboxing. For example, the below statement shows the conversion of an int to an Integer.

Integer a = 20;

Here, the int value 20 is autoboxed into the wrapper class Integer variable myinteger.

Auto-unboxing is the reverse process of Autoboxing. It is the automatic conversion of a wrapper class object into its corresponding primitive type. For example,

Integer myinteger = 20;   
int myint = myinteger;

Here, the object myInteger is automatically unboxed into primitive type int variable myint when the assignment takes place.

6Assignment Questions

How do you convert a numeric string into a double value?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The wrapper class Double has a method parseDouble() which is used to parse a numeric string into a double value.

Syntax:

Double.parseDouble(String s);

Example:

String str = "437246.643";
double d = Double.parseDouble(str);

7Assignment Questions

Describe wrapper class methods available in Java to parse string values to their numeric equivalents.

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

The wrapper class methods available in Java to parse string values to their numeric equivalents are described below:

parseInt(string) — It is a part of wrapper class Integer. It parses the string argument as a signed integer. The characters in the string must be digits or digits separated with a decimal. The first character may be a minus sign (-) to indicate a negative value or a plus sign (+) to indicate a positive value.
Syntax:
int parseInt(String s)
parseLong(string) — It is a part of wrapper class Long. It parses the string argument as a signed long. The characters in the string must be digits or digits separated with a decimal. The first character may be a minus sign (-) to indicate a negative value or a plus sign (+) to indicate a positive value.
Syntax:
long parseLong(String s)
parseFloat(string) — It is a part of wrapper class Float. It returns a float value represented by the specified string.
Syntax:
float parseFloat(String s)
parseDouble(string) — It is a part of wrapper class Double. It returns a double value represented by the specified string.
Syntax:
double parseDouble(String s)

8Assignment Questions

How can you check if a given character is a digit, a letter or a space?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

We can check if a given character is a digit, a letter or a space by using the following methods of Character class:

isDigit(char) — It returns true if the specified character is a digit; returns false otherwise.
Syntax:
boolean isDigit(char ch)
isLetter(char) — It returns true if the specified character is a letter; returns false otherwise.
Syntax:
boolean isLetter(char ch)
isLetterOrDigit(char) — It returns true if the specified character is a letter or a digit; returns false otherwise.
Syntax:
boolean isLetterOrDigit(char ch)
isWhitespace(char) — It returns true if the specified character is whitespace; returns false otherwise.
Syntax:
boolean isWhitespace(char ch)
