Java's extensive ecosystem, community support, and its Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA)
capability through the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) make it a powerful choice for a wide range of
programming tasks. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer, Java offers a
solid foundation to build upon.
Java Programs
1.Binary Addtion
Question:
The provided Java program performs binary addition on two binary numbers. You need to write the algorithm for the given program, create a variable description
table for the code, and provide a sample input along with its corresponding output.
Algorithm:
1st Initialize a Scanner object to read input from the user.
2nd
3rd Display the message "Enter first binary number:" to prompt the user for input.
4th
5th Read the first binary number entered by the user using the nextLine() method of the Scanner and store it in the variable binary1.
6th
7th Display the message "Enter second binary number:" to prompt the user for input.
8th
9th Read the second binary number entered by the user using the nextLine() method of the Scanner and store it in the variable binary2.
10th
11th Close the Scanner object to release system resources.

15th Store the returned value from the addBinary function in the variable result.
16th
17th Display the message "Sum of two binary numbers: " followed by the value of the result variable.
Note:
The addBinary function is not detailed in the algorithm, as it's already provided in the code and performs the binary addition logic.
The algorithm outlines the steps the program takes to read two binary numbers, perform binary addition, and then display the result to the user.
1st
Java Code:
import java.util.Scanner;
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for finding the longest word in a given sentence. The algorithm uses a recursive approach to divide the array of words and compare their
lengths to determine the longest word.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for finding and printing lucky numbers within a given range. A lucky number is a number that remains after a specific elimination process.
Here's how the algorithm works:
1st The program takes input from the user for the upper limit of the range n.
2nd The code iterates through each number from 1 to n and checks whether it is a lucky number using the isLucky function.
3rd If a number is identified as a lucky number, it is printed.
4th The isLucky function determines whether a given number is lucky:
It initializes an ArrayList numbers and populates it with numbers from 1 to n.
It sets the initial index to 1.
While the current index is less than the size of numbers:
The algorithm retrieves the "step" value at the current index (which is the value at numbers.get(index)).
If the step value is greater than the remaining numbers to process, the loop breaks.
It initializes a count to 0.
It loops through the remaining numbers, starting from the current index, and removes every step - count-th number while incrementing the count.
The index is incremented.
1st Finally, the function checks if the given number n is present in the numbers list, and if it is, the number is considered lucky.
Java Code:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;
4.SaddlePoint
Question:
Explain the algorithm used in the provided Java code. Provide a variable description table and a sample input/output example.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for finding saddle points in a given matrix. A saddle point is an element in the matrix that is both the smallest element in its row and the
largest element in its column. The algorithm works as follows:
1st The program takes input from the user for the number of rows and columns of the matrix.
2nd The program creates a 2D array (matrix) to store the elements of the matrix.
3rd The user is prompted to input the elements of the matrix row by row.
4th After inputting the matrix, the findSaddlePoint function is called to identify saddle points.
5th The findSaddlePoint function iterates through each row of the matrix.
For each row, it initializes minRow to the value of the first element in that row and colIdx to 0.
It then iterates through the remaining elements of the row, updating minRow and colIdx if a smaller element is found.
After identifying the smallest element in the row, it checks if this element is also the largest element in its column:
It iterates through the rows at the same column index (colIdx) and checks if the current element is greater than minRow.
If any such element is found, the current element cannot be a saddle point, and the loop breaks.
If no such element is found, the current element is a saddle point, and it is printed.
1st The algorithm continues this process for each row in the matrix.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
findSaddlePoint(matrix);
}
Output:
Saddle point found: 7
In this example, the input matrix has only one saddle point: the element 7 at row 2, column 2. The program identifies this saddle point and prints it as the output.
Enter the range (n) to find lucky numbers till n:
100
Lucky numbers: 1 3 7 9 13 15 21 25 31 33 37 43 49 51 63 67 69 73 75 79 87 93 99
5.Date Validation
Question:
Explain the algorithm used in the provided Java code. Provide a variable description table and a sample input/output example.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for validating whether a given date is valid or not. It takes user input for a day, month, and year and then checks whether the provided
combination of day, month, and year is a valid date according to the rules of the Gregorian calendar. The algorithm works as follows:
1st The program takes input from the user for the day, month, and year.
2nd The program then calls the isValidDate function to determine if the provided date is valid or not.
3rd The isValidDate function first checks if the provided month is within the range 1 to 12, and the day is within the range 1 to 31. If not, it immediately
returns false.
4th If the month is February (month 2), the function uses the isLeapYear function to determine if the year is a leap year:
If it's a leap year, February can have up to 29 days.
If it's not a leap year, February can have up to 28 days.
1st If the month is April, June, September, or November (months 4, 6, 9, 11), the function ensures that the day is within the range 1 to 30.
2nd For all other months, the function returns true since they have up to 31 days.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
if (month == 2) {
return isLeapYear(year) ? day <= 29 : day <= 28;
}
if (month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11) {
return day <= 30;
}
return true;
}
}
Output:
The date is valid.
In this example, the user provides input for a date (February 29, 2020). Since 2020 is a leap year, the date is valid, and the program prints "The date is valid."
as the output.
Question:
Explain the algorithm used in the provided Java code. Provide a variable description table and a sample input/output example.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for recursively sorting words in a sentence using the merge sort algorithm. The program takes a sentence as input, splits it into words,
sorts the words, and then prints the sorted sentence. The algorithm works as follows:
1st The program takes input from the user for a sentence.
2nd The sentence is split into an array of words using spaces as delimiters.
3rd The sortWords function is called to start the sorting process, passing the array of words, left index (initially 0), and right index (initially words.length -
1).
4th In the sortWords function, if the left index is less than the right index, it calculates the middle index (mid) and divides the array into two halves: the left
half and the right half.
5th The function then recursively calls itself for both halves.
6th The merge function is called to merge the two sorted halves back together.
The merge function first calculates the sizes of the left and right halves (n1 and n2).
It creates temporary arrays L and R to hold the elements of the left and right halves, respectively.
It copies the elements of the left half into array L and the elements of the right half into array R.
The function then compares the elements from L and R and merges them back into the original words array in sorted order.
1st The sorted sentence is printed using a loop that iterates through the sorted words array.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
public static void merge(String[] words, int left, int mid, int right) {
int n1 = mid - left + 1;
int n2 = right - mid;
String[] L = new String[n1];
String[] R = new String[n2];
for (int i = 0; i < n1; i++) {
L[i] = words[left + i];
}
for (int j = 0; j < n2; j++) {
R[j] = words[mid + 1 + j];
}
int i = 0, j = 0;
int k = left;
while (i < n1 && j < n2) {
if (L[i].compareTo(R[j]) <= 0) {
words[k] = L[i];
i++;
} else {
words[k] = R[j];
j++;
}
k++;
}
while (i < n1) {
words[k] = L[i];
i++;
k++;
}
while (j < n2) {
words[k] = R[j];
j++;
k++;
}
}
}

Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for calculating the Highest Common Factor (HCF) and Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of two given numbers. The program takes user
input for two numbers, calculates their HCF using a recursive algorithm, and then calculates the LCM using the HCF value. The algorithm works as follows:
1st The program takes input from the user for two numbers (num1 and num2).
2nd The program calls the findHCF function to calculate the HCF of the two numbers.
The findHCF function is a recursive function that calculates the HCF using the Euclidean algorithm. The algorithm works by repeatedly taking the
remainder of the larger number divided by the smaller number until the remainder becomes 0. At that point, the smaller number becomes the HCF.
1st The LCM is calculated using the formula: LCM = (num1 * num2) / HCF.
2nd The calculated HCF and LCM are then printed as output.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
Output:
HCF: 6
LCM: 36
In this example, the user provides input for two numbers (12 and 18). The HCF of these numbers is 6, and the LCM is 36. The program calculates and prints
the HCF and LCM as the output.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
switch (dayOfWeek) {
case 0:
return "Saturday";
case 1:
return "Sunday";
case 2:
return "Monday";
case 3:
return "Tuesday";
case 4:
return "Wednesday";
case 5:
return "Thursday";
case 6:
return "Friday";
default:
return "Invalid";
}
}
}
Output:
The day of the week is: Wednesday
In this example, the user provides input for a date (August 15, 2023). The program calculates that the day falls on a Wednesday and prints "The day of the
week is: Wednesday" as the output.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for calculating the date after adding a certain number of days to a given date. The program takes user input for a day, month, year,
and the number of days to add. It then calculates and prints the resulting date after adding the specified number of days. The algorithm works as follows:
1st The program takes input from the user for a day, month, year, and the number of days to add (daysToAdd).
2nd The program calls the findDateAfterDays function to determine the resulting date after adding the days.
3rd In the findDateAfterDays function, it creates an array daysInMonth to store the number of days in each month of a non-leap year.
If the year is a leap year, it updates the number of days in February to 29.
1st The findDateAfterDays function adds the daysToAdd value to the input day.
It then enters a loop that checks if the resulting day exceeds the number of days in the current month:
If it does, the exceeding days are subtracted from the current month, and the month is incremented by 1.
If the month becomes greater than 12, the year is incremented by 1, and the month is reset to 1 (January).
If the year is a leap year, the days in February are updated accordingly.
This loop continues until the resulting day is within the valid range of the month.
1st The calculated day, month, and year are returned as an array of integers.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
public static int[] findDateAfterDays(int day, int month, int year, int daysToAdd) {
int[] daysInMonth = {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};
if (isLeapYear(year)) {
daysInMonth[2] = 29;
}
day += daysToAdd;
while (day > daysInMonth[month]) {
day -= daysInMonth[month];
month++;
if (month > 12) {
month = 1;
year++;
if (isLeapYear(year)) {
daysInMonth[2] = 29;
} else {
daysInMonth[2] = 28;
}
}
}
return new int[]{day, month, year};
}
Output:
The date after adding the days is: 7/3/2023
In this example, the user provides input for a date (February 15, 2023) and wants to add 20 days to it. The program calculates and prints that the resulting
date is March 7, 2023.
Enter day:
15
Enter month (1 for January, 12 for December):
8
Enter year:
2023
The day of the week is: Sunday
10.Armstrong Number
Question:
Explain the algorithm used in the provided Java code. Provide a variable description table and a sample input/output example.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for determining whether a given number is an Armstrong number or not. An Armstrong number (also known as a narcissistic number or a
pluperfect digital invariant) is a number that is equal to the sum of its own digits raised to the power of the number of digits. The program takes user input for a
number, checks whether it is an Armstrong number, and then prints the result. The algorithm works as follows:
1st The program takes input from the user for a number (num).
2nd The program calls the isArmstrong function to determine whether the given number is an Armstrong number.
3rd In the isArmstrong function:
The original number (originalNum) is stored in a separate variable.
The length of the number (i.e., the number of digits) is calculated and stored in n.
The algorithm uses a loop to extract each digit of the number one by one:
The last digit (digit) is obtained by taking the remainder of the number when divided by 10.
The digit is raised to the power of n and added to the sum.
The last digit is removed from the number by dividing it by 10.
After the loop, if the sum is equal to the originalNum, the number is an Armstrong number.
1st The function returns true if the number is an Armstrong number and false otherwise.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
if (isArmstrong(num)) {
System.out.println(num + " is an Armstrong number.");
} else {
System.out.println(num + " is not an Armstrong number.");
}
}
Output:
153 is an Armstrong number.
In this example, the user provides input for the number 153. The program calculates that 153 is an Armstrong number because 1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 153, and it
prints "153 is an Armstrong number" as the output.
11.Boundary Sort
Question:
Explain the algorithm used in the provided Java code. Provide a variable description table and a sample input/output example.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code is for sorting the boundary elements of a given matrix in a clockwise manner. The boundary elements are those elements that are on the
outermost edges of the matrix. The program takes user input for the number of rows and columns of the matrix, as well as the matrix elements. It then sorts the
boundary elements and places them back in the matrix, and finally, it prints the matrix with the sorted boundary elements. The algorithm works as follows:
1st The program takes input from the user for the number of rows (rows) and number of columns (cols) of the matrix.
2nd The program then initializes a 2D array matrix to store the matrix elements.
3rd The program takes input from the user for the elements of the matrix using nested loops.
4th The program calls the sortBoundary function to sort the boundary elements of the matrix.
5th In the sortBoundary function:
The number of rows and columns are stored in rows and cols respectively.
The total number of boundary elements (n) is calculated as twice the sum of rows and columns minus 4 (to account for the corners).
An array boundary is created to store the boundary elements, and an index idx is initialized to keep track of the boundary element being added.
The boundary elements are extracted in a clockwise manner:
The top row is traversed from left to right.
The right column (excluding the top element) is traversed from top to bottom.
The bottom row (excluding the right and bottom corners) is traversed from right to left.
The left column (excluding the bottom and left corners) is traversed from bottom to top.
The boundary array is then sorted in ascending order.
The sorted boundary elements are placed back into the matrix in the same clockwise order:
The top row is filled with elements from the boundary array.
The right column is filled with elements from the boundary array.
The bottom row is filled with elements from the boundary array.
The left column is filled with elements from the boundary array.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
sortBoundary(matrix);
System.out.println("Matrix after boundary sorting:");
for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < cols; j++) {
System.out.print(matrix[i][j] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
Output:
Matrix after boundary sorting:
123
804
765
In this example, the user provides input for a 3x3 matrix. The program extracts the boundary elements in a clockwise order, sorts them, and places them back in
the matrix. The resulting matrix is printed as output.

Question:
Explain the provided Java code for implementing a stack. Provide a variable description table and a sample input/output example.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code demonstrates the implementation of a stack using a class named StackImplementation. The stack is implemented using an array and various
methods to manipulate the stack operations such as push, pop, and peek. Additionally, the isFull and isEmpty methods are used to check whether the stack is full
or empty, respectively.
1st The Stack class:
The Stack class is nested within the StackImplementation class.
It has member variables MAX (maximum capacity of the stack), arr (an integer array to store the elements of the stack), and top (a pointer to the
top element of the stack).
The constructor Stack(int size) initializes the stack with the given size. The top is initialized to -1 to indicate an empty stack.
The isFull() method checks if the stack is full, and the isEmpty() method checks if the stack is empty.
The push(int x) method adds an element to the top of the stack. It checks for stack overflow before pushing.
The pop() method removes and returns the top element from the stack. It checks for stack underflow before popping.
The peek() method returns the value of the top element without removing it. It also checks for stack underflow.
1st The main method:
Inside the main method, a Stack object named stack is created with a maximum capacity of 5.
Three elements (1, 2, and 3) are pushed onto the stack using the push method.
The peek method is used to display the top element.
The pop method is used to remove and display the popped element.
Finally, the peek method is used again to display the new top element.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
public class StackImplementation {
Stack(int size) {
MAX = size;
arr = new int[MAX];
top = -1;
}
boolean isFull() {
return top == MAX - 1;
}
boolean isEmpty() {
return top == -1;
}
void push(int x) {
if (isFull()) {
System.out.println("Stack Overflow");
return;
}
arr[++top] = x;
System.out.println(x + " pushed to stack");
}
int pop() {
if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Stack Underflow");
return -1;
}
return arr[top--];
}
int peek() {
if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Stack Underflow");
return -1;
}
return arr[top];
}
}
Sample Output:
arduinoCopy code
1 pushed to stack
2 pushed to stack
3 pushed to stack
Top element: 3
3 popped from stack
Top element: 2
In this example, the program demonstrates the operations of a stack. Elements 1, 2, and 3 are pushed onto the stack. The top element is then displayed (which is
3), followed by popping an element (3) from the stack. Finally, the new top element (2) is displayed.
13.Queue Implementation
Question:
Explain the provided Java code for implementing a queue. Provide a variable description table and a sample input/output example.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code demonstrates the implementation of a queue using a class named QueueImplementation. The queue is implemented using an array and various
methods to manipulate the queue operations such as enqueue, dequeue, and peek. Additionally, the isFull and isEmpty methods are used to check whether the queue is
full or empty, respectively.
1st The Queue class:
The Queue class is nested within the QueueImplementation class.
It has member variables MAX (maximum capacity of the queue), arr (an integer array to store the elements of the queue), front (an index pointing to
the front element of the queue), rear (an index pointing to the rear element of the queue), and size (the current size of the queue).
The constructor Queue(int size) initializes the queue with the given size. The front is initialized to 0, the rear to -1, and the size to 0.
The isFull() method checks if the queue is full, and the isEmpty() method checks if the queue is empty.
The enqueue(int x) method adds an element to the rear of the queue. It checks for queue overflow before enqueueing.
The dequeue() method removes and returns the front element from the queue. It checks for queue underflow before dequeueing.
The peek() method returns the value of the front element without removing it. It also checks for queue underflow.
1st The main method:
Inside the main method, a Queue object named queue is created with a maximum capacity of 5.
Three elements (10, 20, and 30) are enqueued into the queue using the enqueue method.
The peek method is used to display the front element.
The dequeue method is used to remove and display the dequeued element.
Finally, the peek method is used again to display the new front element.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
public class QueueImplementation {
Queue(int size) {
MAX = size;
arr = new int[MAX];
front = 0;
rear = -1;
size = 0;
}
boolean isFull() {
return size == MAX;
}
boolean isEmpty() {
return size == 0;
}
void enqueue(int x) {
if (isFull()) {
System.out.println("Queue Overflow");
return;
}
rear = (rear + 1) % MAX;
arr[rear] = x;
size++;
System.out.println(x + " enqueued to queue");
}
int dequeue() {
if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Queue Underflow");
return -1;
}
int item = arr[front];
front = (front + 1) % MAX;
size--;
return item;
}
int peek() {
if (isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("Queue Underflow");
return -1;
}
return arr[front];
}
}
Sample Output:
arduinoCopy code
10 enqueued to queue
20 enqueued to queue
30 enqueued to queue
Front element: 10
10 dequeued from queue
Front element: 20
In this example, the program demonstrates the operations of a queue. Elements 10, 20, and 30 are enqueued into the queue. The front element is then displayed
(which is 10), followed by dequeuing an element (10) from the queue. Finally, the new front element (20) is displayed.

Question:
Provide an explanation of the given Java code that represents a simple bank system with account types including SavingsAccount and CurrentAccount. Include a
variable description table and a sample output.
Algorithm:
The provided Java code simulates a basic bank system that includes two types of accounts: SavingsAccount and CurrentAccount. These classes inherit from a base
Account class. Each account type has specific features and methods that cater to the characteristics of savings and current accounts.
1st The Account class:
This class serves as the base class for both SavingsAccount and CurrentAccount.
It contains a protected instance variable balance, along with methods for depositing, withdrawing, and retrieving the balance.
1st The SavingsAccount class:
This class extends the Account class and adds properties such as interestRate and minimumBalance.
It overrides the withdraw method to check if the withdrawal amount breaches the minimum balance.
The addInterest method calculates and adds interest to the balance.
1st The CurrentAccount class:
Similar to the SavingsAccount class, this class extends the Account class and includes an overdraftLimit property.
The withdraw method checks if the withdrawal amount breaches the overdraft limit.
1st The BankSystem class:
This class contains the main method, which demonstrates the usage of the defined account classes.
A SavingsAccount and a CurrentAccount object are created with initial balances and relevant properties.
Various account operations are performed, such as withdrawals, interest addition, etc.
The results are displayed as output.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
class Account {
protected double balance;
@Override
public void withdraw(double amount) {
if (balance - amount >= minimumBalance) {
super.withdraw(amount);
} else {
System.out.println("Cannot withdraw as it will breach the minimum balance.");
}
}
@Override
public void withdraw(double amount) {
if (balance - amount >= -overdraftLimit) {
super.withdraw(amount);
} else {
System.out.println("Cannot withdraw as it will breach the overdraft limit.");
}
}
}
savings.withdraw(600);
savings.addInterest();
System.out.println("Savings account balance: " + savings.getBalance());
current.withdraw(1200);
System.out.println("Current account balance: " + current.getBalance());
}
}
Variable Description
balance The current balance of an account.
Variable Description
interestRate The interest rate for the savings account.
minimumBalance The minimum balance required for the savings account.
overdraftLimit The overdraft limit for the current account.
savings An instance of the SavingsAccount class.
current An instance of the CurrentAccount class.
amount The amount to deposit or withdraw from an account.
Sample Output:
yamlCopy code
Cannot withdraw as it will breach the minimum balance.
Savings account balance: 950.0
Cannot withdraw as it will breach the overdraft limit.
Current account balance: 1000.0
In this example, the program simulates a bank system using the SavingsAccount and CurrentAccount classes. Withdrawals that would breach the minimum balance or
overdraft limit are prevented. Interest is added to the savings account balance, and the results are displayed as output.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
a = a + b;
b = a - b;
a = a - b;
System.out.println("After swapping:");
System.out.println("First number: " + a);
System.out.println("Second number: " + b);

being 5. This demonstrates the swapping of two numbers without using a third variable.
Variable Description
num Stores the input number for which the square root needs to be calculated.
precision Represents the desired precision for the square root approximation.
start Represents the lower bound of the range for which the square root is being
Variable Description
approximated. Initially set to 0.
end Represents the upper bound of the range for which the square root is being
approximated. If num is less than 1, end is set to 1, otherwise, it is set to num.
mid Represents the midpoint of the range for which the square root is being
approximated. Initially calculated as the average of start and end.
Sample Input/Output:
mathematicaCopy code
Enter a number:
25
Square root of 25.0 is approximately: 5.0
In this example, the user inputs the number 25. The algorithm iteratively approximates the square root of 25 using the binary search approach, and the result is
approximately 5.0. The algorithm aims to achieve the desired precision (0.00001) in the approximation.
18.String Permutations
Question:
Could you please explain the algorithm used in the provided Java code for generating permutations of a string? Also, provide a sample input and output.
Algorithm Explanation:
The provided Java code demonstrates an algorithm to generate all permutations of a given string. The algorithm utilizes a recursive approach to achieve this.
Here's how the algorithm works:
1st Input a string, str, from the user.
2nd Call the generatePermutations function with the input string and an empty prefix.
3rd The generatePermutations function is a recursive function with two parameters:
str: The portion of the string yet to be processed.
prefix: The portion of the string that has been processed so far and forms part of a potential permutation.
1st If the length of the str is 0, it means all characters have been processed, and a permutation has been formed. Print the prefix as the output.
2nd Otherwise, iterate through each character of the str:
Create a string rem that removes the current character from the str.
Recursively call generatePermutations with the new rem and the prefix concatenated with the current character.
1st The recursion continues until all possible permutations have been generated.
Java Code:
javaCopy code
import java.util.Scanner;
generatePermutations(str, "");
}
Variable Description
str Stores the input string for which permutations need to be generated.
prefix Stores the current permutation being formed. Initially set to an empty string.
scanner An instance of the Scanner class used for reading input from the user.
Sample Input/Output:
cCopy code
Enter a string:
abc
abc
acb
bac
bca
cab
cba
In this example, the user inputs the string "abc". The algorithm generates all possible permutations of the characters "a", "b", and "c". The output includes all six
permutations: "abc", "acb", "bac", "bca", "cab", and "cba". Each permutation is printed on a separate line.
19.Magic Square
