(e) What is the difference between the linear search and the binary search technique? [2]
Answer:

Linear Search Binary Search
(i) Linear search works both for sorted and unsorted data. (i) Binary search works on sorted data (either in ascending order or in descending order).

4 2
Loop will execute 5 times.

(e) State a difference between call by value and call by reference. [2]
Answer:

Call by Value Call by Reference ;
(i) In call by value the meth­od creates its new set of variables (formal param­eters) to copy the value of actual parameters and works with them. (i) In call by reference, reference of the actual parameters is passed on to the method. No new set of variables is creat­ed.
(ii) Any change made in the formal parameter is not reflected in the actual pa­rameter. (ii) Any change made in the formal parameter is always reflected in the actual parameters.
(iii) Primitive data types are passed by call by value. (iii) Reference types like (objects, array etc.) are passed by call by refer­ence.

= (55)2
= 3025 is a tech number.

Answer:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class TechNumber {
public static void main(String args[]) {
int i, a, b, sum;
String n;
System.out.println("Four Digits Tech Numbers are::");
for(i = 1000; i < 1000; i++) {
n = i + "";
a = lnteger.parselnt(n.substring(0,2));
b = Integer.parselnt(n. substring(2));
sum = (int)Math.pow((a + b), 2);
if (sum == i)
