Question 7

Design a class to overload a function Joystring() as follows :

(i)void Joystring(String s, char ch1, char ch2) with one string and two character arguments that replaces the character argument ch1 with the character argument ch2 in the given string s and points the new string                                                                   Example : Input value of s = "TECHNALAGY"                                                                   ch1 = 'A' , ch2 = 'O'      Output : "TECHNOLOGY"

(ii)void Joystring(String s) with one string argument that prints the position of the first space and the last space of the given String s.                                                                   Example :First Index : 5        Last Index : 36

(iii)void Joystring(String s1, String s2) with two string arguments that combines the two strings with a space between them and prints the resultant string                                     Example : Input value of s1 = "COMMON WEALTH"  , s2 = "GAMES"                             Output : "COMMON WEALTH GAMES"

Ans : 

class Question_7{void Joystring(String s,char ch1,char ch2){System.out.println("New String : "+(s.replace(ch1,ch2)));

}

void Joystring(String s){System.out.println("First Index : "+(s.indexOf(' ')));System.out.println("Last Index : "+(s.lastIndexOf(' ')));}void Joystring(String s1,String s2){System.out.println("New String : "+(s1.concat(s2)));

Question 8

Write a program to input twenty names in an array. Arrange these names in descending order of alphabets , using the bubble sort technique

Ans : 

import java.util.*;class buble_strng{static void main(){Scanner cy=new Scanner(System.in);String m[]=new String[20],t;System.out.println("Enter names in the array : ");for(int i=0;i<m.length;i++){System.out.print("m["+i+"] :");m[i]=cy.nextLine();}for(int i=0;i<m.length-1;i++){for(int j=i+1;j<m.length;j++)if(m[i].compareTo(m[j])<0){t=m[i];m[i]=m[j];m[j]=t;}}System.out.println("Sorted array : ");for(int i=0;i<m.length;i++)System.out.println(m[i]);}}

Question 9

Use switch statement,write a menu driven program to:(i) To find and display all the factors of a number input by the user (including 1 and excluding number itself.)

Example :Sample Input : n=15.Sample Output : 1,3,5

(ii) To find and display the factorial of a number input by the user(the factorial of a non-negative integer n ,denoted by n!,is the product of all integers less than or equal to n. Example : Sample Input : n=5 Sample Output : 120.

For an incorrect choice ,an appropriate error message should be displayed.

Ans : 

import java.util.*;class Ques9{static void test(int n){Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);System.out.println("Enter 1 to find the factors of "+n);System.out.println("Enter 2 to find the factorial of "+n);int choice = in.nextInt();switch(choice){case 1 :System.out.println("Users choice is to find the factors of "+n);System.out.println("Factors are ");for(int i=1;i<n;i++){if(n%i==0)System.out.print(i+" ");}break;case 2:System.out.println("Users choice is to find the factorial of "+n);int facto=1;for(int i = 1;i<=n;i++)

facto=facto*i;System.out.println("Factorial of "+n+" is "+facto);break;default : System.out.println("Wrong Choice ");}}}-----------------------  o ---------------------------------
