Previously asked TCS DCA coding questions with solutions :

1 . Given a string str which consists of only 3 letters representing the color,(H) Hue, (S) Saturation, (L) Lightness, called HSL colors. The task is to count the occurrence of ordered triplet “H, S, L” in a given string and give this count as the output.

This question was asked in April 21 Digital Capababilty Assessment

Examples: 

A) Input

HHSL

Output

2

Explanation: There are two triplets of RGB in the given string: 

• H at index 0, S at index 2 and L at index 3 forms one triplet of HSL.
• H at index 1, S at index 2 and L at index 3 forms the second triplet of HSL.

B) Input: S = “SHL” 
Output: 0 
Explanation: No triplets exists. 

Solution Approach

1. Count the number of L(Light) in the given string and store the value in a Light_Count variable.
2. Initialize Hue_Count = 0.
3. Iterate over all character of string from left to right.
4. If the current character is (H)Hue, increase the Hue_Count.
5. If current character is (L)Light, decrease Light_Count.
6. When the current character is S(Saturation) add Hue_Count * Light_Count in the result.

Solution in Java

// Java code for the above program
class GFG{
		
// function to count the
// ordered triplets (H, S, L)  
static int countTriplets(String color)
{
	int result = 0, Light_Count = 0;
	int Hue_Count = 0;
	int len = color.length();
	int i;
	
	// count the L(Lightness) 
	for (i = 0; i < len ; i++)
	{
		if (color.charAt(i) == 'L')
			Light_Count++;
	}

	for (i = 0; i < len ; i++)
	{
		if (color.charAt(i) == 'L')
			Light_Count--;
		if (color.charAt(i) == 'H')
			Hue_Count++;
		if (color.charAt(i) == 'S')
			result += Hue_Count * Light_Count;
	}
	return result;
}

// Driver Code
public static void main (String[] args)
{
	String color = "HHSSLLHSSLL";
	System.out.println(countTriplets(color));
}

}

2. Check length of a string is equal to the number appended at its last

This question was asked in April 21 Digital Capababilty Assessment

Given a string that (may) be appended with a number at last. You need to find whether the length of string excluding that number is equal to that number. For example for “TechnoName10”, the answer is True as TechnoName consist of 10 letters. The length of String is less than 10, 000.

Examples : 

Input:  str = "Techn5"
Output:  Yes
Explanation : As Techn is of 5 length and at 
              last number is also 5.

Input:  str = "TechnoName15"
Output:  No
Explanation: As Technoname is of 10 length and
             at last number is 15 i.e. not equal

Solution Approach

1. Traverse string from end and keep storing the number till it is smaller than the length of the overall string.
2. If the number is equal to length of string except that number’s digits then return true. 
3. Else return false.

Solution Code in Java

// Java program to check if size of
// string is appended at the end or not.
import java.io.*;

class GFG {

	// Function to find if given number is
	// equal to length or not
	static boolean isequal(String str)
	{
		int n = str.length();

		// Traverse string from end and find the number
		// stored at the end.
		// x is used to store power of 10.
		int num = 0, x = 1, i = n - 1;
		for (i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--)
		{
			if ('0' <= str.charAt(i) &&
				str.charAt(i) <= '9')
			{
				num = (str.charAt(i) - '0') * x + num;
				x = x * 10;
				if(num>=n)
					return false;
			}
			else
				break;
		}

		// Check if number is equal to string
		// length except that number's digits
		return num == i + 1;
	}

	// Drivers code
	static public void main(String[] args)
	{
		String str = "Technoname12";
		if (isequal(str))
			System.out.println("Yes");
		else
			System.out.println("No");
	}
}

3 . Write a program to remove 7 and 56 from given string.

This question was asked in Jan 21 Digital Capababilty Assessment

Examples :

1) Given String : Tec7hno56Name

Output : TechnoName

2) String =Tec7h5no6Name

Output : Tech5no6Name

Solution

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
   
		char c[100] ="Tec7hno56Name";
		int n=strlen(c);
		int i;
		for(i=0;i<n;i++)
		{
		    if(c[i]=='7')
		    {
		        c[i] = '\0' ;
		    }
			if(c[i]=='5' && c[i+1]=='6')
			{
				c[i] = '\0' ;
				c[i+1]='\0';
			}
		}

		for(i=0;i<n;i++)
		{
		printf("%c",c[i]);
		}
    return 0;
}

4 . Write a program to find multiplication of a given number

This question was asked in Jan 21 Digital Capababilty Assessment

Input : 1234

Output Logic : 1*2*3*4= 24

Solution

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
   int n=1234;
   int r,sum=1;
   while(n>0)
   {
       r=n%10;
       sum=sum*r;
       n=n/10;
   }
   printf("Sum is %d ",sum);
}

5 . You are given an array prices where prices[i] is the price of a given stock on the ith day.

You want to maximize your profit by choosing a single day to buy one stock and choosing a different day in the future to sell that stock.

Return the maximum profit you can achieve from this transaction. If you cannot achieve any profit, return 0

Example 1:

Input: prices = [7,1,5,3,6,4]
Output: 5
Explanation: Buy on day 2 (price = 1) and sell on day 5 (price = 6), profit = 6-1 = 5.
Note that buying on day 2 and selling on day 1 is not allowed because you must buy before you sell.

Example 2:

Input: prices = [7,6,4,3,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: In this case, no transactions are done and the max profit = 0.

Solution

public class Solution {
    public int maxProfit(int prices[]) {
        int minprice = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        int maxprofit = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < prices.length; i++) {
            if (prices[i] < minprice)
                minprice = prices[i];
            else if (prices[i] - minprice > maxprofit)
                maxprofit = prices[i] - minprice;
        }
        return maxprofit;
    }
}

5 . Given a string, consisting of alphabets and digits, find the frequency of each digit in the given string.

Input Format

The first line contains a string, which is the given number.

Constraints

All the elements are made of English alphabets and digits.

Output Format

Print ten space-separated integers in a single line denoting the frequency of each digit .

Sample Input 0

a11472o5t6

Sample Output 0

0 2 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0

Solution

#include<stdio.h> 
#include<string.h>

 
int main ()
{
  char a[1000], freq[256] = {0};
  int i, n, j, count = 0;
  scanf("%[^\n]s", a);    //input from user
  n = strlen(a);         // finding string length
  char ch = '0';
  for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
    {
          for (j = 0; j < n; j++)
    	  {
    	    if (a[j] == ch)
    	    {
    	      count++;
    	    }
    	  }
      printf("%d ", count);
      count = 0;
      ch++;
    }

  return 0;
}

6 . You will be given an array of integers and a target value. Determine the number of pairs of array elements that have a difference equal to a target value.

For example, given an array of [1, 2, 3, 4] and a target value of 1, we have three values meeting the condition: 2-1 = 1, 3-2 = 1, and 4-3 = 1.

Function Description

Write a function pairs. It must return an integer representing the number of element pairs having the required difference.

pairs has the following parameter(s):

• k: an integer, the target difference
• arr: an array of integers

Input Format

• The first line contains two space-separated integers n and k, the size of arr and the target value.
• The second line contains n space-separated integers of the array arr.

Sample Input

     5 2

     1 5 3 4 2 

Sample Output

     3

Solution

import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        int n = sc.nextInt();
        int k = sc.nextInt();
        int arr[] = new int [n];
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
            arr[i] = sc.nextInt();
        }
        int counter = 0; 
        Set<Integer> value = new HashSet<Integer>();
        for(int i : arr){
            value.add(i);
        }
        for(int i : value){
            if(value.contains(i + k)){
                ++counter;
            }
        }
        System.out.println(counter);
    }
    }

7 .Write a program to find the count of numbers that consists of unique digits.

15

#include<bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
 
void printUnique(int l, int r) 
{ 
    int count=0;
    for (int i=l ; i<=r ; i++) 
    { 
        int num = i; 
        bool visited[10] = {false}; 
  
        while (num) 
        { 

            if (visited[num % 10]) 
                break; 
  
            visited[num%10] = true; 
  
            num = num/10; 
        } 

        if (num == 0) 
            count++; 
    }
    if(count>0)
     cout<<count;
    else
        cout<<"No Unique Number";
} 
  
int main() 
{ 
    int l,r; 
    cin>>l>>r;
    printUnique(l, r); 
    return 0; 
}
