High Order Thinking Questions (HOTS)

Q.1. Write a Java code snippet to swap the values of two variables without using a temporary variable.

int a = 5;

int b = 10;

a = a + b;

b = a - b;

a = a - b;

Q.2. Explain the difference between the prefix and postfix increment operators in Java with an example.

The prefix increment operator (++x) increments the value of x and then returns the new value, while the postfix increment operator (x++) returns the current value of x and then increments it.

Q.3. Write a Java code snippet to calculate the factorial of a given number using a recursive function.

public class Factorial {

    public static int calculateFactorial(int n) {

        if (n == 0)

            return 1;

        else

            return n * calculateFactorial(n - 1);

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int number = 5;

        int factorial = calculateFactorial(number);

        System.out.println("Factorial of " + number + " is: " + factorial);

    }

}

Q.4. Explain the concept of type conversion in Java and provide an example.

Type conversion in Java is the process of converting one data type to another.
For example:

int x = 5;

double y = x; // Implicit type conversion (widening conversion)

Q.5. Write a Java code snippet to determine whether a given year is a leap year or not.

public class LeapYear {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int year = 2023;

        boolean isLeapYear = false;

        if (year % 4 == 0) {

            if (year % 100 == 0) {

                if (year % 400 == 0)

                    isLeapYear = true;

            } else {

                isLeapYear = true;

            }

        }

        if (isLeapYear)

            System.out.println(year + " is a leap year.");

        else

            System.out.println(year + " is not a leap year.");

    }

}

Hands-On Questions

Q.1. Write a Java code snippet to calculate the area of a circle with a given radius. (Use the value of π as 3.14)

import java.util.Scanner;

public class CircleArea {
