Answer the following

Question 1

Define a function. What is meant by function prototype?

A function or a method is a sequence of statements grouped together and given a name. This group of statements can be called at any point in the program using its name to perform a specific task.
First line of function definition that tells about the type of value returned by the function and the number and type of arguments is called function prototype.

Question 2

What are the two ways of invoking functions?

Two ways of invoking functions are:

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

Question 3

When a function returns the value, the entire function call can be assigned to a variable. Do you agree with the statement?

Yes, when a function returns a value, we can assign the entire function call to a variable. Below example illustrates the same:

public class Example {

    public int sum(int a, int b) {
        int c = a + b;
        return c;
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        Example obj = new Example();
        int x = 2, y = 3;
        int z = obj.sum(x, y);
        System.out.println(z);
    }
}

Question 4

When a function is invoked how many values can be returned from the function?

A function can only return a single value.

Question 5

Debug the errors and rewrite the following function prototypes:

(a) int sum(x,y);

Answer

int sum(int x, int y);

(b) float product(a,int y);

Answer

float product(float a, int y);

(c) float operate(int x, float=3.4);

Answer

float operate(int x, float y);

(d) float sum(int x,y);

Answer

float sum(int x, float y);

Question 6

Write down the main function which calls the following function:

int square(int a)
{
    return(a*a);
}
Answer
public static void main(String args[]) {
    int sq = square(4);
}

Question 7

What happens when a function is passed by reference? Explain.

Pass by reference means that the arguments of the function are a reference to the original objects and not a copy. So any changes that the called function makes to the objects are visible to the calling function. Consider the below example:

class PassByReferenceExample {
    public void demoRef(int a[]) {
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            a[i] = i;
        }
    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        PassByReferenceExample obj = new PassByReferenceExample();
        int arr[] = { 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 };
        System.out.println("Before call to demoRef value of arr");
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
        }
        System.out.println();
        obj.demoRef(arr);
        System.out.println("After call to demoRef value of arr");
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
            System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
        }
    }
}

The output of this program is:

Before call to demoRef value of arr
10 20 30 40 50
After call to demoRef value of arr
0 1 2 3 4

Here demoRef changes the values of array a and these changes are reflected in the array in the main method as well.

Question 8

In what situation does a function return a value?

For a function to return a value, it should have a return type other than void in its function prototype and it should return a value of the corresponding type using the return statement in the function body.

Question 9

Differentiate between pure and impure functions.

Pure functionsImpure functions
Pure functions take objects and/or primitive data types as arguments but does not modify the objects.Impure functions change the state of received objects.
Pure functions doesn't have side effects.Impure functions have side effects.

Question 10

Write a function which is used to swap the values of two memory locations.

(a) by using a third variable.

Answer
void swap(int a, int b) {
    int c = a;
    a = b;
    b = c;
    System.out.println("a = " + a + "\t" + "b = " + b);
}

(b) without using a third variable.

Answer
void swap(int a, int b) {
    a = a + b;
    b = a - b;
    a = a - b;
    System.out.println("a = " + a + "\t" + "b = " + b);
}

Question 11

Differentiate between call by value and call by reference.

Call by valueCall by reference
Actual parameters are copied to formal parameters. Any changes to formal parameters are not reflected onto the actual parameters.Formal parameters refer to actual parameters. The changes to formal parameters are reflected onto the actual parameters.
All primitive data types are passed using Call by value.All reference data types like arrays and objects of classes are passed using Call by reference.

Question 12

What are the advantages of defining a method in a program?

Advantages of defining methods in a program are:

  1. Methods help to manage the complexity of the program by dividing a bigger complex task into smaller, easily understood tasks.
  2. Methods are useful in hiding the implementation details.
  3. Methods help with code reusability.

Question 13

What is meant by function overloading? In what way it is advantageous?

Function overloading is the process of defining functions/methods within a class, that have the same name but differ in the number and/or the data types of their arguments. Advantages of function overloading are:

  1. Function overloading is one of the ways in which Java implements the object oriented concept of Polymorphism.
  2. With Function overloading, programmers don't have to create and remember different names for functions doing the same thing for different data types.

Question 14

Define the following:

(a) Return data type

Return data type specifies the type of value that the method should return. It is mentioned before the method name in the method prototype. It can be any valid primitive or composite data type of Java. If no value is being returned, it should be void.

(b) Access specifier

Access specifiers determine the type of access to the method. It can be either public, private or protected.

(c) Parameter list

Parameter list is a comma-separated list of variables of a method along with their respective data types. The list is enclosed within a pair of parentheses. Parameter list can be empty if the method doesn't accept any parameters when it is called.

(d) Recursive function

A function that calls itself inside its body is called a Recursive function.

(e) Method signature

Method signature comprises of the method name and the data types of the parameters. For example, consider the below method:

int sum(int a, int b) {
    int c = a + b;
    return c;
}

Its method signature is:
sum(int, int)

Question 15

Explain the function of a return statement in Java programming.

A function returns a value through the return statement. Once a return statement is executed, the program control moves back to the caller function skipping the remaining statements of the current function if any. A function can have multiple return statements but only one of them will be executed. For example, consider the below method:

int sum(int a, int b) {
    int c = a + b;
    return c;
}

It uses a return statement to return a value of int type back to its caller.

Question 16

Differentiate between formal parameter and actual parameter.

Formal parameterActual parameter
Formal parameters appear in function definition.Actual parameters appear in function call statement.
They represent the values received by the called function.They represent the values passed to the called function.

Question 17

What is the role of the keyword void in declaring functions?

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

Question 18

If a function contains several return statements, how many of them will be executed?

A function can have multiple return statements but only one of them will be executed because once a return statement is executed, the program control moves back to the caller function skipping the remaining statements of the current function.

Question 19

Which OOP principle implements function overloading?

Polymorphism implements function overloading.

Question 20

How are the following data passed to a function?

  • Primitive types
    By value
  • Reference types
    By reference

Give output of the following function definitions and also write what mathematical operations they carry out

Question 1

void test1(int n)
{
for(int x=1; x<=n; x++)
if(n%x == 0)
    System. out.println(x);
}

if 12 is passed to n.

Output
1
2
3
4
6
12
Explanation

This function finds the factors of n.

Question 2

void test2(int a, int b)
{
    while( a != b)
    {
      if ( a > b)
        a = a — b;
      else
        a = b — a;  
    }
    System.out.println(a);
}

if 4 and 17 are passed to the function.

Output
Infinite Loop
Explanation

Initial value of a is 4 and b is 17 as given in the question. As a and b are not equal, condition of while loop is true, first iteration starts. a is less than b so if condition is false, a = b - a is executed and a becomes 17 - 4 = 13. Condition of while loop is true so second iteration starts. Again, if condition is false. This time abecomes 17 - 13 = 4. Like this, the value of a keeps oscillating between 13 and 4 resulting in an infinite loop.

Question 3

void test3(char c)
{
    System.out.println( (int) c);
}

if 'm' is passed to c.

Output
109
Explanation

This function prints the ASCII code of its argument. When 'm' is passed to this function, its ASCII code which is 109 gets printed as the output.

Question 4

void test4(String x, String y)
{
    if(x.compareTo(y) > 0)
        System.out.println(x);
    else
        System.out.println(y);
}

if "AMIT" and "AMAN" are passed to the function.

Output
AMIT
Explanation

The first differing characters of "AMIT" and "AMAN" are 'I' and 'A', respectively. So output of "AMIT".compareTo("AMAN") will be ASCII Code of 'I' - ASCII Code of 'A' ⇒ 73 - 65 ⇒ 8. The if condition is true so string x which is "AMIT" gets printed as the output.
