(d) If x and y are int type variables, what will be the result of the
       expression x% y when x=- 12 and y = -11                                   [2]

(e) What is the difference between String and StringBuffer class? [2]

      handling?                                                                                           [3]

(g) What will be the output of the following codes:                        [4]
      char chars[ ] = { 'a','b','c'};
      String s1= new String(chars);
      String s2= "abc";
      System.out.println(s2.compareTo(s1));

                Monthly Salary (msalary)
                Income Tax (IT)
     Member Method :
              1 Default constructor
              2 Accept() To Accept the details of a teacher.
              3 Display() To display the teacher’s detials
              4 Increment() To increment the monthly salary by 5000        
              5  Compute() To compute the annual income tax as 5% of         
                   the annual salary above Rs 150000

         0,1,1,2,3,5,8……n terms

    (b)  Write a program to accept a number form user and check it is
        prime or not.
       [   Prime number is divisible by 1 and itself
              e.g    3 it is divisible by  1 and 3
                        17 it is divisible by 1 and 17 ]

8. Write a program to accept 15 integer from the keyboard,
     assuming that no integer entered is a zero. Enter a number from
     keyboard and search in an array using Binary Search Technique.
