writing the statements of the programming language. programming logic.

give the desired output.

Logic errors need to be found and corrected

Syntax Errors are caught by the compiler.
by the people working on the program.

Answer the following

Question 1

What do you mean by scanner class?

Scanner class is used to get user input. It is present in java.util package.

Question 2

What are the different ways to give inputs in a Java Program?

Java provides the following ways to give input in a program:

1. Using Function Argument.

2. Using InputStreamReader class.
3. Using Scanner class.
4. Using Command Line Arguments.

Question 3

What is the use of the keyword import?

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

Question 4

What is a package? Give an example.

In Java, a package is used to group related classes. Packages are of 2 types:

1. Built-In packages — These are provided by Java API

 2. User-Defined packages — These are created by the programmers to efficiently structure their
code.
java.util, java.lang are a couple of examples of built-in packages.

Question 5

What is the use of the keyword 'import' in Java programming?

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

Question 6

What is a compound statement? Give an example.

Two or more statements can be grouped together by enclosing them between opening and
closing curly braces. Such a group of statements is called a compound statement.
if (a < b) {

/*
* All statements within this set of braces
* form the compound statement
*/

System.out.println("a is less than b");

a = 10;
b = 20;
System.out.println("The value of a is " + a);
System.out.println("The value of b is " + b);

Question 7

Write down the syntax to input a character through scanner class with an example.

Syntax:
char <variable name> = <Scanner Object>.next().charAt(0);
Example:
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
char ch = in.next().charAt(0);

Question 8

What do you understand by 'Run Time' error? Explain with an example

Errors that occur during the execution of the program primarily due to the state of the
program which can only be resolved at runtime are called Run Time errors.
Consider the below example:
import java.util.Scanner;
class RunTimeError
{
public static void main(String args[]) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a number: ");
int n = in.nextInt();
int result = 100 / n;
System.out.println("Result = " + result);
}
}
This program will work fine for all non-zero values of n entered by the user. When the user
enters zero, a run-time error will occur as the program is trying to perform an illegal
mathematical operation of division by 0. When we are compiling the program, we cannot
say if division by 0 error will occur or not. It entirely depends on the state of the program
at run-time.

Question 9

What are the different types of errors that take place during the execution of a program?
Logical errors and Run-Time errors occur during the execution of the program.

Question 10

Distinguish between:
(a) Testing and Debugging

Testing Debugging

In the process of Testing, we check if the program is In the process of Debugging, we correct
working as expected and find out the errors if it is not giving the errors that were found during
the expected output. testing.

(b) Syntax error and Logical error

Syntax Error Logical Error

Syntax Errors occur when we violate the rules of Logical Errors occur due to our mistakes in
writing the statements of the programming language. programming logic.

Program fails to compile and execute. Program compiles and executes but doesn't
 Syntax Error Logical Error

give the desired output.

Logical errors need to be found and

Syntax Errors are caught by the compiler. corrected by people working on the
program.

double amt1 = price - d1;
System.out.println("30% discount = " + d1);
System.out.println("Amount after 30% discount = " + amt1);

double d2 = price * 20 / 100.0;
