Last minute suggestions on guess computer application – theory and practical questions for ISC 2013 students

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 03:37 PM PST

ISC computer practical examination carries 100 marks and in this site students can get the programs and solutions of previous year papers. From those practical papers, one can guess what type of question may come in ISC 2013 computer application examination.

Practical computer application for ISC 2013

If we look back to previous years papers, the findings can be summed up as follows:

In 2010 ISC computer application practical examination, the first program was on number. The amount was entered by user and the amount was displayed in words and the denomination available in descending order was also displayed. Second program on the same year was on kaprekar numbers in a specific range and the third program was completely on string.

In ISC 2011 computer application practical paper, the first program was on displaying number in word like if the entered value is 29, the output will be: TWENTY NINE
Second program was again on string, encryption of message and the third was on displaying total number of days of a specific date from the start of year which was an int type array program.

In 2012 ISC computer application practical paper, the first program was on prime-palindrome integers within a range.The second one was on string, manipulation with words
And the third was on 2-d array finding largest and smallest numbers with position.

From the above it is clear that programs on string and array ( both 1-d and 2-d) are common in all the previous years. This year students of ISC 2013 can expect programs from the following list in their practical examination.

Program on queue, queue implementation of queue for printing job or like that.

BlueJ program on String array - arranging the words in ascending order

Write a program to accept a date in the string format (dd/mm/yyyy) and accept the name of the day on 1st January of the corresponding year. Find the day for the given date.

BlueJ program on decoding encoded string with removing extra blank spaces and modification on alphabet cases

Program on 2-d array may be set in 2013 Computer application practical of ISC 2013. The program may be of finding maximum value row wise and columkn wise, sorting the elements etc .

Reversing words of a string

Finding unique digit numbers

BlueJ Program on displaying date in specific format

BlueJ program on valid Email id checking

Program to reverse a string. Example: Input:I like computer applications Output:I ekil retupmoc snoitacilppa.

BlueJ program on circular decoding

BlueJ program on re-arranging numbers in an array with positive numbers first

BlueJ program to find the total number of days between two dates

For theoretical paper in ISC 2013 computer application examination

Follow the suggestion and guess of ICSE 2013 and the followings topics:

Inheritance in BlueJ

What is meant by a user defined data type?

What is the use of static in the main function?

The basic condition for binary search and compare binary search with linear search technique.

Program on merging two ascending lists

Basic String class Functions in BlueJ

BlueJ programs using String Functions

Last minute suggestions on computer application guess questions for ICSE 2013 students

Posted: 28 Nov 2012 07:20 AM PST

Like every year, this year also this site wishes best of luck to all ICSE 2013 students. Students who are following my site are expected to score better marks in ICSE 2013 Computer examination. In this post, I am trying to point out some guess questions in the forthcoming examination and few suggestions.

Theory part in ICSE 2013 Computer Application

Please go through the following topics and I think this would help you in 2013 ICSE Computer Application paper.

What is Object Oriented Programming

What is object in Object Oriented Programming

What is Class in Object Oriented Programming

What is Constructor

What is Encapsulation in BlueJ

Name any two library packages of java .

What is meant by a user defined data type?

Give an example of syntax error

What is the scope of the keyword protected in accessing functions?

What is a parameterized constructor?

What is the use of static in the main function?

Arithmetic Assignment Operator in BlueJ

Increment and Decrement Operators in Java

Pre conditions of binary search

Show the use of logical operator && with an example.
Explain the term – "pass by reference".

Differentiate between indexOf() and valueOf() functions.

Several functions of String class.

Difference between equals () function and == operator.

Break and Continue in BlueJ

Comparison Among Different Loops

while and do-while

while and for

Syntax of Different Decision Making Statements

Differentiate between isUpperCase() and toUpperCase() function.

Advantages of Exception handling.

What is a "fall through" situation in switch case statement.

Write any two rules for naming varible declaration.

Write down the difference between prefix and postfix operators.

Conditional operator.

What is meant by polymorphism? Give an example.

State difference between call-by-value and call-by-reference.

Write any two differences in Implicit Type Casting and Explicit Type Casting.

What is a function?

Can there be objects without having any functions?

Why are functions so important for the description of objects?

What is an abstraction?

Can there be multiple abstractions of a real world entity

How are classes and abstraction linked?

What is an object factory?

Use of static keyword in bluej programs

Use of static in variable

What is static method or function

Function calling techniques-Call be reference and call by value in BlueJ

Use of break statement in BlueJ Programs

Use of Scanner class in BlueJ programs

What is private and public specifier in Java?

Difference between '==' and equals ()'.

Compare switch with else-if ladder.

Define 'substring ()' and 'charAt()' function.

Comparision between break and continue

Use of 'this' keyword.

What do you mean by data encapsulation and polymorphism in Java?

Name the package you need to import for using Scanner class object.

State the difference between while and do-while loop

State the difference between constructor and function

Explain any two type of access specifiers

What are the preconditions of binary search?

What is the role of void keyword in declaration of a function

What is package, give example.

Explain function overloading with example

What is exit control loop? Give example

What is recursive function, give example

So far as programs are concerned, one program on else if ladder ( either tax calculation, discount calculation or bill calculation) is confirmed. Programs on different numbers like perfect number, prime number etc can be expected. In every year ICSE Computer Application paper, one or two programs are found where the questions are very lengthy but the programs are normally very simple. My advice is to read the question carefully and the solution will be very easy.
