1. 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

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.

Number Series with a Twist – 1

Find the 15th term of the series?
0,0,7,6,14,12,21,18, 28
Explanation : In this series the odd term is increment of 7 {0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 – – – – – – }
                        And even term is a increment of 6 {0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 – – – – – – }

Number Series with a Twist 2

Link to this Question
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.

Number Series with a Twist 3

Link to this Question – 
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

Link to this Questions
1. The program will recieve 3 English words inputs from STDIN

1. These three words will be read one at a time, in three separate line
2. The first word should be changed like all vowels should be replaced by %
3. The second word should be changed like all consonants should be replaced by #
4. The third word should be changed like all char should be converted to upper
case
5. 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
Sum = 40.38
There were a total of 4 test cases. Once you compile 3 of them will be shown to you and 1 will be a
hidden one. You have to display error message if numbers are not numeric.

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);

int a = 1;
int r = 3;
int term_in_series = n/2;
