PART I – Scenario to program and code :
1. Write a method that accept a String named "strInput" as a parameter and returns
every other character of that String parameter starting with the first character.
M e t ho d I: - Us in g L o op
public static String everyOther(String strInput) {
String output = "";
for (int index = 0; index < strInput.length(); index += 2) {
output += strInput.charAt(index);
}
return output;
}
Tips:
 Each and every characters of the given String parameter needs to be scanned and
processed. Therefore, we need to know the number of characters in the String.
strInput.length();
st
1
character is needed that is why int index = 0; we don't need the 2
nd
character that
is why we incremented index by 2 as follow: index += 2
 strInput.charAt(index); reading the actual character and concatenated to the output
variable.
 Finally
System.out.println( everyOther("SshHeErRzZaAdD") ); // will print Sherzad
M e t ho d I I :- Us in g R e g u la r E xp r es s ion
public static String everyOther(String strInput) {
return strInput.replaceAll("(.)(.)", "$1");
}
Tips:
 In Regular Expression
. matches any character
 In Regular Expression
() use for grouping
 strInput.replaceAll("(.)(.)",
"$1"); // in the expression (.)(.), there are
two groups and each group matches any character; then, in the replacement string,
we can refer to the text of group 1 with the expression $1. Therefore, every other
character will be returned as follow:
System.out.println( everyOther("SshHeErRzZaAdD") ); // will print Sherzad

2. Write a method named reverseString that accepts a String parameter and returns the
reverse of the given String parameter.
M e t ho d I: - Us in g Lo op
public static String reverseString(String strInput) {
String output = "";
for (int index = (strInput.length() - 1); index >= 0; index--) {
output += strInput.charAt(index);
}
return output;
}
Tips:
 Each and every characters of the given String parameter needs to be scanned and
processed. Therefore, we need to know the number of characters in the String.
strInput.length();
 Since index ranges from 0 to strInput.length() - 1; that is why we read each and every
character from the end int index = (strInput.length() - 1);
 Finally System.out.println( reverseString("02SUXO") ); // will print OXUS20
M e t ho d I I :- Us in g r e ve rs e ( ) m e t ho d o f S t ri n g B u i ld e r / S t r in g Bu f f e r c la s s
public static String reverseString(String strInput) {
if ((strInput == null) || (strInput.length() <= 1)) {
return strInput;
}
return new StringBuffer(strInput).reverse().toString();
}
Tips:
 Both StringBuilder and StringBuffer class have a reverse method. They work pretty much
the same, except that methods in StringBuilder are not synchronized.
M e t ho d I I I:- Us in g s ubs t r in g ( ) a n d Re c u rs i o n
public static String reverseString(String strInput) {
if ( strInput.equals("") )
return "";
return reverseString(strInput.substring(1)) + strInput.substring(0, 1);
}
public String substring(int beginIndex)
public String substring(int beginIndex, int endIndex)

3. Write a method to generate a random number in a specific range. For instance, if
the given range is 15 - 25, meaning that 15 is the smallest possible value the
random number can take, and 25 is the biggest. Any other number in between these
numbers is possible to be a value, too.
M e t ho d I: - Us in g R a nd om c la s s o f ja va .u t il p a c ka g e
public static int rangeInt(int min, int max) {
java.util.Random rand = new java.util.Random();
int randomOutput = rand.nextInt((max - min) + 1) + min;
return randomOutput;
}
Tips:
 The nextInt(int n) method is used to get an int value between 0 (inclusive) and the
specified value (exclusive).
 Consider min = 15, max = 25, then
o rand.nextInt(max - min) // return a random int between 0 (inclusive) and 10
(exclusive). Interval demonstration [0, 10)
o rand.nextInt((max - min) + 1) // return a random int 0 and 10 both inclusive
o rand.nextInt((max
- min) + 1) + min // return a random int 0 and 10
both inclusive + 15;

if the return random int is 0 then 0 + 15 will be 15;

if the return random int is 10 then 10 + 15 will be 25;

if the return random int is 5 then 5 + 15 will be 20;

Hence the return random int will be between min and max value both
inclusive.
M e t ho d I I :- Us in g M a t h .r a nd om ( ) m e th o d
public static int rangeInt(int min, int max) {
return (int) ( Math.random() * ( (max – min) + 1 ) ) + min;
}
Note:
 In practice, the Random class is often preferable
to Math.random().

PART II – Single Choice and Multiple Choices:
1. Which of the following declarations is correct?
 [A ] boolean b = TRUE;
 [B] byte b = 255;
[A] boolean b = TRUE; // JAVA is Case Sensitive!
 [C] String s = "null";
[B] byte b = 255; // Out of range MIN_VALUE = -128 and
MAX_VALUE = 127
 [D] int i = new Integer("56");
[C] String s = "null"; // Everything between double quotes ""
considered as String
[D] int i = new Integer("56"); // The string "56" is converted
to an int value.
2. Consider the following program:
import oxus20Library.*;
public class OXUS20 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// The code goes here ...
}
}
What is the name of the java file containing this program?
 A. oxus20Library.java
 B. OXUS20.java
 Each JAVA source file can contain only one
public class.
 C. OXUS20
 The source file's name has to be the name of
that public class. By convention, the
 D. OXUS20.class
source file uses a .java filename extension
 E. Any file name w ith the java suffix is accepted
3. Consider the following code snippet
public class OXUS20 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String river = new String("OXUS means Amu Darya");
System.out.println(river.length());
}
}
What is printed?
 A. 17
 B. OXUS means Amu Darya
Abdul Rahman Sherzad
 C. 20
 E. river

C o n s t ru c t o r m a y b e d e c l a r e d p r i va t e // private constructor is off
course to restrict instantiation of the class. Actually a good
use of private constructor is in Singleton Pattern.
