1. Write a Java Program to reverse a string without using String inbuilt function

Answer:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class InputExample {


public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Write something here : ");
String words = input.nextLine();
char[] original = words.toCharArray();
int start = 0;
int end = original.length - 1;
char tempWord;
while(end > start){
tempWord = original[start];
original[start] = original[end];
original[end] = tempWord;
end--;
start++;
}
words = new String(original);
System.out.println("This is reversed words: " + words);
input.close();
}
}
2. Write a regular expression to validate Malaysia NRIC format
NRIC format
● 12 digits number
● 1st 6 digits are the date of birth in YYMMDD format
Sample NRIC: 880512123456

Answer: ^[0-9]{6}[0-9A-Za-z]{6}$

3. Write a java program to extract date of birth from Malaysia NRIC

Answer:

public class nricDobExtractor {


public static void main(String[] args) {
String nric = "970411106211";
String dob = nric.substring(0, 6);
System.out.println("Date of Birth (YYMMDD): " + dob);
}
}
4. Explain what is SQL Injection & how to avoid them in Java coding practice

-SQL Injection is a security vulnerability that can be prevented in Java by using


parameterized queries, which separate user-supplied data from the SQL code to
prevent malicious code from being executed.

5. Explain what are the use case of below unix commands


● ls - list the contents of a directory
● pwd – print the current working directory
● grep – search for a pattern in a file that contains the pattern
● cat – concatenates and displays the contents of the files
● head – displays the first ten lines of a file
● chown – change owner
● chmod – change permission
● cp – file copy
● vi – text editor to create or edit files
● rm – delete file
● ps – show current process
● df – show information about disk usage
● nohup – runs a command in the background
● telnet - connects to a remote machine using the Telnet protocol
● sudo – run commands with superuser privilege

6. Write a query to extract a list of students who have the n-th score rank.
Condition:
a. Output: student’s full name, advisor’s full name & score
b. Business Logic:
■ Same score consider having same rank (e.q.: In below sample 2
students have the same score of 85, they both consider as 1st rank)
■ If nobody have n-th rank the query return null

table_name: student
student_id first_name last_name advisor_id
1 Tanisha Blake 2
2 Jess Goldsmith NULL
3 Tracy Wu 3
4 Alvin Grand 1
5 Felix Zimmermann 2

table_name: grade table_name: advisor


student_id score advisor_id first_name last_name
1 40 1 James Francis
2 60 2 Amy Cheng
3 85 3 Lamar Alexander
35
4 4 Anita Woods
5 85

Answer:

SELECT s.full_name AS "Student Name", a.full_name AS "Advisor Name", s.score


FROM student s
JOIN advisor a ON s.advisor_id = a.id
WHERE (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT score) FROM student WHERE score >=
s.score) = n
ORDER BY score DESC;

}
}

class Main{
public static void DoPrint( Primary o ) {
o.Print();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Primary x = new Primary();
Primary y = new Secondary();

DoPrint(x);
DoPrint(y);
DoPrint(z);
}
}

Answer:
PrimarySecondarySecondary
