d) Linux,MySql [1 Marks for correct Answer]
e) Freeware (from "free" and "software") is computer software that is available for use at no cost (or
for an optional fee).Though the definition of "freeware" covers both proprietary and closed
source software that is available for use at no cost as well as free and open source software, in common
usage it tends to refer more often to proprietary and closed source software that is available for use at
no cost. Software that is commercial but not available free of charge is occasionally referred to as
"payware" or commercial software.
Free Soft Ware:
Free software, software libre or libre software is software that can be used, studied, and modified
without restriction, and which can be copied and redistributed in modified or unmodified form either
without restriction, or with minimal restrictions only to ensure that further recipients can also do these
things and that manufacturers of consumer-facing hardware allow user modifications to their hardware.
Free software is generally available without charge, but can have a fee, such as in the form of charging
for CDs or other distribution medium among other ways.

g)
i) BUS Topology:
1. Difficult to administer/troubleshoot.
2. Limited cable length and number of stations.
3. If there is a problem with the cable, the entire network goes down.
4. Maintenance costs may be higher in the long run.
5. Performance degrades as additional computers are added or on heavy traffic.
6. Proper termination is required.(loop must be in closed path).
7. If many computers are attached, the amount of data flowing causes the network to slow down.
8. Significant Capacitive Load (each bus transaction must be able to stretch to most distant link).
ii) Star Topology:
More cabling is required in a star than in other topologies (except mesh).
Entire network collapse if central controller fails. [1 Marks for each correct Answer]

column comes in the resultant table once.
g) Rollback is used undo all the changes applied on the database and send the database to previous
commit or save point status.

Q4.
(a) method overloading is the primary way polymorphism is implemented in Java
Overloading methods
overloaded methods:
 appear in the same class or a subclass
 have the same name but,
 have different parameter lists, and,
 can have different return types
an example of an overloaded method is print() in the java.io.PrintStream class
public void print(boolean b)
public void print(char c)
public void print(char[] s)
public void print(float f)
public void print(double d)
public void print(int i)
public void print(long l)
public void print(Object obj)
public void print(String s)
 the actual method called depends on the object being passed to the method
 Java uses late-binding to support polymorphism; which means the decision as to which of the many
methods should be used is deferred until runtime
Overriding methods
 late-binding also supports overriding
 overriding allows a subclass to re-define a method it inherits from it's superclass
 overriding methods:
 appear in subclasses
 have the same name as a superclass method
 have the same parameter list as a superclass method
  have the same return type as as a superclass method
 the access modifier for the overriding method may not be more restrictive than the access
modifier of the superclass method
class LB_1 {
public String retValue(String s) {
return "In LB_1 with " + s;
}}
class LB_2 extends LB_1 {
public String retValue(String s) {
return "In LB_2 with " + s;
}}
if you create an LB_2 object and assign it to an LB_1 object reference, it will compile ok
at runtime, if you invoke the retValue(String s) method on the LB_1 reference, the LB_2 retValue(String s)
method is used, not the LB_1 method
LB_2 lb2 = new LB_2();
LB_1 lb3 = lb2; // compiles ok
System.out.println(lb3.retValue("Today"));
Output:
In LB_2 with Today [1 Marks for each correct definition]

(c) An Abstract Class can contain default Implementation where as an Interface should not
contain any implementation at all. An Interface should contain only definitions but no
implementation. where as an abstract class can contain abstract and non-abstract methods.
When a class inherits from an abstract the derived class must implement all the abstract
methods declared in the base class. an abstract class can inherit from another non-abstract
class.
(d) the most important difference between String and StringBuffer/StringBuilder in java is
that String object is immutable whereas StringBuffer/StringBuilder objects are mutable.
By immutable, we mean that the value stored in the String object cannot be changed. Then the next
question that comes to our mind is “If String is immutable then how am I able to change the contents of
the object whenever I wish to?” . Well, to be precise it’s not the same String object that reflects the
changes you do. Internally a new String object is created to do the changes.
So suppose you declare a String object:
String myString = “Hello”;
Next, you want to append “Guest” to the same String. What do you do?
myString = myString + ” Guest”;
When you print the contents of myString the output will be “Hello Guest”. Although we made use of
the same object(myString), internally a new object was created in the process. So, if you were to do
some string operation involving an append or trim or some other method call to modify your string
object, you would really be creating those many new objects of class String.
