The below table holds the result of an assessment of 3 students.
Table: Assessment
StudentId Marks
1001 99
1002 33
1003 88

A requirement is given to 3 developers Tom, Dick and Harry to generate a

report as follows:
StudentId Marks
1001 99
1002 FAIL
1003 88

If a student has scored less than 50, his status must be shown as ‘FAIL’.
Otherwise, his mark must be displayed.

The 3 developers wrote the following queries:

Tom:

SELECT STUDENTID,CASE WHEN MARKS < 50 THEN 'FAIL' ELSE

TO_CHAR(Marks) END AS STATUS FROM ASSESSMENT

Dick:
SELECT STUDENTID,CASE WHEN MARKS < 50 THEN 'FAIL' ELSE Marks
END AS STATUS FROM ASSESSMENT

Harry:

SELECT STUDENTID,CASE WHEN MARKS > 50 THEN 'FAIL' ELSE Marks

END FROM ASSESSMENT

Which one of them will get the desired output?

Question 1:
Given a string, find the substring based on following conditions,
1. The substring must be the longest one of all the possible substring in the given string.
2. There must not be any repeating characters in the substring.
3. If there is more than one substring satisfying the above two conditions, then print the
substring which occurs first.
4. Length of the substring must be minimum 3.
If there is no substring satisfying all the aforementioned conditions then print -1.
Question 2:
Given an array of integers, find the combination of integers forming a sequence which satisfies
the below conditions:
1.
1. The ith integer must satisfy the given equation in the sequence

(1)

2. The length of the sequence must be maximum possible

3. If there is more than one sequence satisfying above two conditions then print that
sequence which contains least integers.
In case there is no combination of integers possible then print -1.
See the example below:
2. Example 1:
If the given integers are 4, 2, 7, 5, 3, 8, 10, 11, 19 then the possible combinations of
integers satisfying above conditions are 2, 3, 5, 8 and 3, 8, 11, 19 and hence the output
must be 2, 3, 5, 8. Here you cannot form any other combination of integers whose length
is greater than 4 and satisfies the given equation.
Example 2:
If the given integers are 1,5,6,10 then print -1.
Question 3 Given a string in which random numbers are present and we have to find the product
and the number(one is lesser and one is greater) who already present in the string. Confusing,
Let’s see the example:
E.g. Given a string contains 1203456. The multiplication of 3 and 4(one is lesser and one is
greater) product become 12 and it’s present in the string. Like 4 and 5(one is lesser and one is
greater) the product is 20 and it’s present in the string and so on. In such a way, We have to find
all the numbers and in the output just we have to store the only product in the list like[ ’12’,
’20’].
If we haven’t found the product then print -1.

Question 4 :Given a list of string and numbers, rotate the string by one position to the right if the
sum of squares of digits of the corresponding number is even and rotate it twice to the left if the
sum of the squares of the digits of the corresponding number is odd.

Question 5: Given an array, find the sub array which can be a square matrix with maximum
sum. If there are multiple results print the matrices in the order of their orders( i.e, 3×3 matrix
will be printed first, then 2X2…so on)

Question 6: Given an alphanumeric string, extract all numbers, remove the duplicate digits, and
from that set of digits construct the largest even number possible.

Question 7 :Given a mxn matrix select an element if the same element appears at 4 consecutive
position again. Return the minimum element from all the gathered elements. What is
consecutive? It’s horizontal, vertical and all possible diagonals.

Question 8: State whether a giving string contains matching braces or not. In case mismatch is
present then output the index of mismatch position.

Question 9:Longest Alphabetic Sequence.

Question 10: From a alphanumeric string extract all digits, From the smallest odd number with
no repeats.

Question 11:A simple String rotation type question where INPUT will be given in the form of
Dictionary and based on the value of the Dictionary the STRING should be rotated either
clockwise or anti-clockwise.

Question 12 It is based on matrix which i felt a bit difficult. We have to find the number which
occur consecutively 4 times either in a ROW, COLUMN, DIAGONAL and more importantly
REVERSE DIAGONAL. If there are multiple such elements find the minimum among them.If
there is no such element print “-1”.

Question 13: Ques 2: Given a string of brackets (, ), {, }, [, ], find the position in the string
where the orders of brackets breaks.

Question 14 Coding Task

Write a C program to print the first half of an array at last and last half of the array at first.

Input format:

First-line contains the size of the array.

The second line contains elements of array separated by space.

Output Format:

Modified Array

Sample Input

If n = odd

12345

Expected Output:

Sample Input

If n = even

146235

Expected Output:

Question 15 Coding Task

Write a program to remove the given word from the input string. If the substring is not present in
the input string, then print the input string as is.
Input Format:

First-line consists of the sentence.

Second line consists of the words which we want to remove from the given sentence.

Output Format:

Sentence after the given word is removed.

Sample Input:

Conduira is an online learning platform.

Expected Output:

Conduira is an online platform.

Question 16: Given array-(2,6,3,5,8,9)

Possible XSeries-(2,3,5), (2,3,5,8)

Output-Longest XSeries (2,3,5,8)

#XSeries -where sum of two numbers results in next number.

Question 17: Find longest substring of unique characters which is case insensitive.

Question 18: Generation of OTP.

Question 19: Reversing a string leaving the special characters in the same place.

Question 20: For a given list of numbers, find its factors and add the factors. Then if the sum of
factors is present in the original list, sort it and print it.

Example:

Input: 0,1,6

Factors of 0 = 0. Thus sum = 0

Factors of 1 = 1. Thus sum = 1

Factors of 6 = 1,2,3. Thus sum = 6

Output = 1,6

If the sum numbers are not present in original list, then return -1.

Question 21: Maximum number of swaps will be given and an list of digits will be given. We
have to swap numbers to get the lowest number possible by using all digits from the list.

Question 22: Input a matrix. Check if do we get the same number consecutively at least 4 times
in any fashion (Vertical, Horizontal, Diagonal). Record those sets.

• If we get such multiple sets then print the number which is the least one
• If we get such a single set then print the same number
• If we get such no set then print -1
Example1

Input m x n. Let’s take

133339

169239

122549

224579

245672

Sets we get here [3 3 3 3] horizontally in the first line, [9 9 9 9] vertically in the last column,[2 2
2 2] diagonally. Hence, we’ll print min(3,9,2) = 2 here.

Example2

Input m x n. Let’s take

1237

4558

6666

9134

Sets we get here [6 6 6 6] only horizontally in 3rd row. Hence, we’ll print 6 here.

Example3
Input m x n. Let’s take

1234

5678

9123

3214

So we get NO set here. Hence, we’ll print -1 here.

Question 23: Input type String. Output type number. Print out the maximum even number which
can be generated by making combinations of numbers present in the given string. Each number
can be used only once ie. No Redundancy.

Example1

Input String = Infytq@218412

Intermediate step (List of numbers *//redundancy removed*) = [2,1,8,4]

Output Number = 8412

Example2

Input String = someString&337

Intermediate step (List of numbers *//redundancy removed*) = [3,7]

Output Number = -1

Question 24: Given m*n matrix where m defines number of rows and n defines number of

Question 38: You are provided two or more strings, where each string is associated with the
number (seperated by :). If sum of square of digits is even then rotate the string right by one
position, and if sum of square of digits is odd then rotate the string left by two position.

Input :

Accept multiple values in the form of String:Integer seperated by ‘,’

Output :

Rotated Strings.

Sample Testcases :

I/P 1 :

abcde:234,pqrs:246

O/P 1 :

cdeab

spqr

Explanation :

For first teststring, ‘abcde’ associated integer is 234, squaring 4+9+16=29, which is odd,
so we rotate string left by two positions. For second teststring, ‘spqr’ associated integer
is 246, squaring 4+16+36=56, which is even, so we rotate string right by one position.

Solution :
s=input().split(“,”)

sa=[]

num=[]

for i in s:

s1,n=i.split(“:”)

sa.append(s1)

num.append(n)

def rotate(s2,n):

for i in n:

s+=int(i)**2

if s%2==0:

return s2[-1:]+s2[:-1] #right rotate

else:
