Answer any two questions.

Each program should be written in such a way that it clearly depicts the logic of the problem stepwise.

This can be achieved by using comments in the program and mnemonic names or pseudo codes for algorithms. The programs must be written in Java and the algorithms must be written in general/standard form, wherever required/

specified.

(Flowcharts are not required.)
