Checking if a given year is leap year or not
Explanation:
To check whether a year is leap or not
Step 1:
- We first divide the year by 4.
- If it is not divisible by 4 then it is not a leap year.
- If it is divisible by 4 leaving remainder 0
Step 2:
- We divide the year by 100
- If it is not divisible by 100 then it is a leap year.
- If it is divisible by 100 leaving remainder 0
Step 3:
- We divide the year by 400
- If it is not divisible by 400 then it is a leap year.
- If it is divisible by 400 leaving remainder 0
Then it is a leap year
#include<stdio.h>
int leapprog(int year)
{
//checking divisibility by 4
if(year%4 == 0)
{
//checking divisibility by 100
if( year%100 == 0)
{
//checking divisibility by 400
if ( year%400 == 0)
printf("%d, the year entered happens to be a leap year", year);
else
printf("%d is surely not a leap year", year);
}
else
printf("%d, the year entered happens to be a leap year", year );
}
else
printf("%d is surely not a leap year", year);
return 0;
}
int main()
{
int input_year, val;
printf("Enter the year that you want to check"); //enter the year to check
scanf("%d",&input_year);
val = leapprog(input_year);
return 0;
}
//C++ Program
//Leap year or not
#include<stdio.h>
using namespace std;
//main program
int main()

//checking for leap year
if( ((year % 4 == 0)&&(year % 100 != 0)) || (year % 400==0) )
{
//input is a leap year
cout<<year<<" is a leap year";
}
else
{
//input is not a leap year
cout<<year<< " is not a leap year";
}
return 0;
}
Output:
Enter year to check: 2019
2019 is not a leap year

Prime Numbers with a Twist
Ques. Write a code to check whether no is prime or not. Condition use function check() to find whether entered no is positive or negative ,if negative then enter the no, And if yes pas no as a parameter to prime() and check whether no is prime or not?
- Whether the number is positive or not, if it is negative then print the message “please enter the positive number”
- It is positive then call the function prime and check whether the take positive number is prime or not.
#include<stdio.h>
void prime(int n)
{
int c=0;
for(int i=2;i<n;i++)
{
if(n%i==0)
c = c+1;
}
if(c>=1)
printf("%d is not a prime number",n);
else
printf("%d is a prime number",n);
}
void main()
{
int n;
printf("Enter no : "); //enter the number
scanf("%d",&n);
if(n<0)
{
printf("Please enter a positive integer");
}
else
prime(n);
}
//C++ Program
//Prime Number
#include
using namespace std;
//function declaration
void enter();
void check(int);
void prime(int);
//main program
int main()

return 0;
}
//function to enter value
void enter()
{

cout<<"Enter number:";
cin>>num;
check(num);
}
//function to check whether the input is positive or negative

{
div++;
}
}
//prime number only have two divisors
if(div==2)
{
cout<<num<<" is a prime number";
}
//not a prime number
else

Number Series with a Twist 2
Consider the following series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 8, 27, 16, 81, 32, 243, 64, 729, 128, 2187 …
This series is a mixture of 2 series – all the odd terms in this series form a geometric series and all the even terms form yet another geometric series. Write a program to find the Nth term in the series.
The value N in a positive integer that should be read from STDIN. The Nth term that is calculated by the program should be written to STDOUT. Other than value of n th term,no other character / string or message should be written to STDOUT. For example , if N=16, the 16th term in the series is 2187, so only value 2187 should be printed to STDOUT.
You can assume that N will not exceed 30.
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i, n, a=1, b=1;
printf("enter number : ");
scanf("%d",&n);
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)

Number Series with a Twist 3
Consider the below series :
0, 0, 2, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3, 8, 4, 10, 5, 12, 6, 14, 7, 16, 8
This series is a mixture of 2 series all the odd terms in this series form even numbers in ascending order and every even terms is derived from the previous term using the formula (x/2)
Write a program to find the nth term in this series.
The value n in a positive integer that should be read from STDIN the nth term that is calculated by the program should be written to STDOUT. Other than the value of the nth term no other characters /strings or message should be written to STDOUT.
For example if n=10,the 10 th term in the series is to be derived from the 9th term in the series. The 9th term is 8 so the 10th term is (8/2)=4. Only the value 4 should be printed to STDOUT.
You can assume that the n will not exceed 20,000.

String with a Twist
1. The program will recieve 3 English words inputs from STDIN
- These three words will be read one at a time, in three separate line
- The first word should be changed like all vowels should be replaced by %
- The second word should be changed like all consonants should be replaced by #
- The third word should be changed like all char should be converted to upper case
- Then concatenate the three words and print them
Other than these concatenated word, no other characters/string should or message should be written to STDOUT
For example if you print how are you then output should be h%wa#eYOU.
You can assume that input of each word will not exceed more than 5 chars

Addition of two numbers a Twist
1. Using a method, pass two variables and find the sum of two numbers.
Test case:
Number 1 – 20
Number 2 – 20.38

Consider the below series :
0, 0, 2, 1, 4, 2, 6, 3, 8, 4, 10, 5, 12, 6, 14, 7, 16, 8
This series is a mixture of 2 series all the odd terms in this series form even numbers in ascending order and every even terms is derived from the previous term using the formula (x/2)
Write a program to find the nth term in this series.
The value n in a positive integer that should be read from STDIN the nth term that is calculated by the program should be written to STDOUT. Other than the value of the nth term no other characters /strings or message should be written to STDOUT.
For example if n=10,the 10 th term in the series is to be derived from the 9th term in the series. The 9th term is 8 so the 10th term is (8/2)=4. Only the value 4 should be printed to STDOUT.
You can assume that the n will not exceed 20,000.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
//code
int n;
scanf(“%d”, &n);
if(n % 2 == 1)
{
int a = 1;
int r = 2;
int term_in_series = (n+1)/2;
int res = 2 * (term_in_series – 1);
printf(“%d “, res);
}
else
{
int a = 1;
int r = 3;
int term_in_series = n/2;
int res = term_in_series – 1;
printf(“%d “, res);
}
return 0;
}

A Sober Walk
Problem Statement
Our hoary culture had several great persons since time immemorial and king vikramaditya’s nava ratnas (nine gems) belongs to this ilk.They are named in the following shloka:


Among these, Varahamihira was an astrologer of eminence and his book Brihat Jataak is recokened as the ultimate authority in astrology.
He was once talking with Amarasimha,another gem among the nava ratnas and the author of Sanskrit thesaurus, Amarakosha.
Amarasimha wanted to know the final position of a person, who starts from the origin 0 0 and travels per following scheme.
Scheme
- He first turns and travels 10 units of distance
- His second turn is upward for 20 units
- Third turn is to the left for 30 units
- Fourth turn is the downward for 40 units
- Fifth turn is to the right(again) for 50 units
… And thus he travels, every time increasing the travel distance by 10 units.

Oddly Even
Problem Statement
Given a maximum of 100 digit numbers as input, find the difference between the sum of odd and even position digits.
Case 1
- Input: 4567
- Expected Output: 2
Explanation : Odd positions are 4 and 6 as they are pos: 1 and pos: 3, both have sum 10. Similarly, 5 and 7 are at even positions pos: 2 and pos: 4 with sum 12. Thus, difference is 12 – 10 = 2
Case 2
- Input: 5476
- Expected Output: 2
Case 3
- Input: 9834698765123
- Expected Output: 1
Solution
(When using Strings as input)
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> int main() { int a = 0,b = 0,i = 0, n; char num[100]; printf("Enter the number:"); scanf("%s",num); //get the input up to 100 digit n = strlen(num); while(n>0) { if(i==0) //add even digits when no of digit is even and vise versa { a+=num[n-1]-48; n--; i=1; } else //add odd digits when no of digit is even and vice versa { b+=num[n-1]-48; n--; i=0; } } printf("%d",abs(a-b)); //print the difference of odd and even return 0; }
#include <iostream> #include <string.h> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; int main() { int a = 0,b = 0,i = 0, n; char num[100]; cout<< "Enter the number:"; cin>> num; //get the input up to 100 digit n = strlen(num); while(n>0) { if(i==0) //add even digits when no of digit is even and vise versa { a+=num[n-1]-48; n--; i=1; } else //add odd digits when no of digit is even and vice versa { b+=num[n-1]-48; n--; i=0; } } cout<< abs(a-b); //print the difference of odd and even return 0; }

TCS Digital Coding Questions with Answers
Let us consider this, if you wanted to write a basic C program then you would’ve written a main function that would’ve looked like in compiler for TCS Coding Round Questions –
int Main(){
// some code
}}
However in command line arguments we write like this –
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
- argc – It is known as Argument Count and as clear from the name it stores the Count of number of Arguments.
- argv[] – Pointer, contains location of all the values(arguments).
- *argv[] – Array of values of all the arguments.
- They are parameters/arguments supplied to the program when it is invoked.
Thus, now we have two things
- Total Count of number of Arguments.
- All the values/pointer location of arguments stored in an array.
Now, you will need one more thing i.e. atoi();
- atoi(); – Converts string into int and atoi(argv[i]); will give the value of argument at ith location in int type format.
Now you can use an int val = atoi(argv[i]); to store the value and then print it with printf(); function.
Check out this video Below to learn how to Solve Command Line Programming.


Quick Facts
argv[0] contains the name, not the value so –
- All for loops must start from i=1.
- You must use the following condition
if(argc == 1){
// do nothing since, there are no arguments, maybe ask for arguments?
}else{
// code to apply logic and print values in TCS Coding Round Questions.
}
- provided+1 +1 for file.exe
- argv[argc] is a NULL pointer.
- argv[0] holds the name of the program.
- argv[1] points to the first command line argument and argv[n] points last argument.
