b) cannot catch any exceptions
c) can catch any exceptions
d) None of the above

4. If an exception is thrown in a catch handler, any code in the handler that follows the thrown
exception will:
a) generate a syntax error
b) generate a logic error
c) never be executed
d) run after the finally block is done

5. What does the following code display?

string example = “C#_Programming”;
Console.Write(example.Substring(3, 5);
a) _Pr
b) _Prog
c) Pro
d) Progr

constructor does not assign a value to an instance variable?
a) a syntax error occurs
b) a compile-time error occurs

c) a run-time error occurs
d) the program compiles and runs correctly because the instance variables are initialized to their default
values

Question # 2 (12 marks) (ILO A9)

1. Write a C# method that accepts as input :

a paragraph string (Ps) (possibly of multiple sentences)
a query string of one sentence (Qs) from user ,
then determines:
(a) the number of words in the Ps string that are terminated by :' ed ' or ' ing'.
(b) whether Qs is present within Ps or not.
Hint: Phrases in Ps needs to be separated, then compared to Qs. Phrases are separated by (.) or (,)
Take care that you don't count decimal number as phrases (Example: 3.96 although contains a (.) should
not be counted a phrase)

2. Implement a user defined exception class that is thrown in case that the input age is below 18. An
exception message of "Transaction not accepted. Below the legal age"

3. Implement operator overloading for the multiplication operator ' * ' redefined for two strings , which
operates on two strings as operands: s1*s2. The overloaded operator should add exclamation marks (!) to
the shorter string of the two until it reaches the longer string length. Then, the operator returns the
extended string.
Question # 3: (8 marks) (ILO A6)
Determine the output of each of the following C# code snippets; show your working steps and/or
the explanation (when needed) for your described Output. Note symbol indicates a new line.

8. }
9. }
10. class sample1 : sample
11. {
12. public int s = 30;
13. }
14. class Program
15. {
16. static void Main(string[] args)
17. {
18. sample1 obj = new sample1();
19. Console.WriteLine("{0}, {1}, {2}", obj.i, obj.j, obj.s);
20. obj.display();
21. Console.ReadLine();
22. }
23. }

 class Derived : Baseclass
{
public Derived(int ii) : base(ii)
{
Console.Write("Derived ");

Question # 4 (8 marks) (ILO B3 and ABET Outcome 2)

Implement class Student with the shown UML class diagram.

 You can use auto-implemented properties in case no validation or formatting is necessary. For
properties:
o YearOfBirth, you need to validate that the student is at least 15 years old. (Hint: you can
use the following code to retrieve the current year : DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
now.Year;)
o TermCreditHours, the maximum allowed number of courses is 6 with a total of 18 hours.
o TermCoursesGrades, there are only five valid course grades A, B, C, D, F.

 CalculateTermGPA method computes the term GPA as the sum of the term courses grade points
divided by credit hours. The following shows the correspondence between the letter grades and the
grade points.
A = 4.00 grade points
B = 3.00 grade points
C = 2.00 grade points
D = 1.00 grade points
F = 0.00 grade points
For drop out students, who don't take courses in a term or fresh students during their first term a
DivideByZeroException would be thrown. Handle this exception and output the statement:
"GPA calculation not possible for current term"
 PrintStatement method displays the Student Name, Year of Birth and Credit hour achievement.
 Implement a TestClass to verify the behavior of the Student class.

Question # 5 (6 marks) (ILO A3 and ABET Outcome 2)

Page 4 of 5 MPCNQ 2/3

In a company, the finance department would like to control the assets owned by the company. The assets
are Buildings and Machinery.
Write an interface IAssets with a GetMaintenanceCost method. Each of your assets classes should
implement that interface, so that its GetMaintenanceCost method calculates an appropriate maintenance
for each class.
The spent cost on Buildings is calculated based on the number of meters per building and
maintenance price per meter, while the Machinery maintenance amount is calculated using the
original price of the machine and the applied depreciation percentage.
Write a test class that creates an object of each of the two classes, places references to those objects in an
array of IAssets type , then iterates through the array, polymorphically invoking each object’s
GetMaintenanceCost method.
