Instance variables / Data members:
String name — To store the name of the customer
long mobno — To store the mobile number of the customer
double cost — To store the cost of the items purchased
double dis — To store the discount amount
double amount — To store the amount to be paid after discount
Member methods:
ShowRoom() — default constructor to initialize data members
void input() — To input customer name, mobile number, cost
void calculate() — To calculate discount on the cost of purchased items, based on following
criteria
Cost Discount (in percentage)
Less than or equal to ₹10000 5%
More than ₹10000 and less than or equal to
10%
₹20000
More than ₹20000 and less than or equal to
15%
₹35000
More than ₹35000 20%

discount.
Write a main method to create an object of the class and call the above member methods.
Question 5 [15]
Define a class to overload the method transform as follows:
int transform(int n)- to return the sum of the digits of the given number
Example n=458 output:17
void transform(String s)- to convert the given String to uppercase and print
Example: if S=”Blue” output:BLUE
void transform(char ch)- to print the character ch in 3 rows and 3 columns using
nested loops.
Example: if ch =’@’ output : @@@
@@@

@@@
Question 6 [15]
Define a class to accept a number and check if the sum of the first digit and the last digit is an
even number or an odd number

First digit 2 9
Last digit 6 6
Sum 8 15
Output Sum is even Sum is odd
Question 7 [15]
