System.out.println(S1 + "equals" + S3 + "?" + S1 .equals(S3));
System.out.println(S1 + "equals" + S4 + "?" + S1 .equals(S4));
System.out.println(S1 + "EqualIgnoreCase" +S4 + "?" + S1.EqualIgnoreCase(S4)); [4]
(g) Evaluate the following expressions, if the values of the variables are a = 2, b=3 and c=9
(i) a - (b++) * (- -c)
(ii) a * (++b) % c [2]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 × 2 +
1 + 2 + 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 × 2 × 3 +.......+
1 + 2 + 3 + 4....n
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 × 2 × 3 × 4....n
[15]
Question 6
Write a program to initialize the given data in an array and find the minimum and maximum values along with the sum of the given elements.
Numbers : 2 5 4 l 3
Output : Minimum value : l
Maximum value : 5
Sum of the elements : 15 [15]
Question 7
Write a program to enter a sentence from the keyboard and count the number of times a particular word occurs in it. Display the frequency of the search word.
Example:
INPUT:
Enter a sentence : the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Enter a word to be searched : the
OUTPUT:
Searched word occurs : 2 times. [15]
Question 8

C = 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9 × (F - 32) and F = 1.8 × C + 32)
[15]
Question 9
