THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TEST OF C#

1. You have an array (called myArray) with 10 elements (integers in the range 1 to 9).
Write a program that prints the number that has the most consecutive
occurrences in an array and also prints the number of times it appears in the
sequence.

The code that populates the array is already written, but you can edit it to try other
values. With the refresh button you can recover the original value that will be used
to evaluate the question as correct or incorrect during execution.

Your program written in C# must parse the array from left to right so that in case
two numbers meet the condition, the one that appears first from left to right will
be the one that will be printed. The data output for the array in the example
(1,2,2,5,4,6,7,8,8,8) would be as follows:

Longest: 3
Number: 8

In the example, the longest sequence is the number 8 with a sequence of three
eights in a row. Please note that the code you write must print the results exactly
as shown in order for the question to be considered valid.

The code to declare and populate myArray is already there, you can edit it to test
with other values and you can click the update button next to it to return to the
original value that will be used to validate your code during testing.

2. Write a program in C# that loops through an array and generates a histogram

based on the numbers in it. The array is called myArray and contains 10 elements
that correspond to integers from 1 to 5. A histogram represents how many times
an element appears in a data set. By
example, for the array: myArray:=(1,2,1,3,3,1,2,1,5,1) the histogram would look like this:
1: *****
2: **
3: **
4:
5: *
The code to declare and populate myArray is already there, you can edit it to test with
other values and you can click the update button next to it to return to the original value
that will be used to validate your code during testing. Make sure the results are printed
exactly as they appear here, as even one missing or extra space can mark the question as
incorrect (Note space between the ":" and the first asterisk).

3. We have a 3 x 3 matrix containing numbers from 1 to 9, but this matrix is

simulated using a one-dimensional matrix. So, for example, this matrix:

129
253
515

It would be represented as (1,2,9,2,5,3,5,1,5). The objective is to identify the path

that gives the smallest sum when traversing the two-dimensional array from left to
right. You start in the left column and always move one column to the right of the
same row or one row up or down. In the example, if you start from 1, you can go
to 2 or 5. From there, if you went to 5 you can go to 9 to 3 or 5. On the other hand,
if you go from 1 to 2, from 2 in the middle column you would not be able to go to 5
in the last row in the right column.

You need to find the path that produces the lowest number by adding the values
of each number you visit. So, for the example, the path with the smallest sum
would be 1,2,3

The code to declare and populate myArray is already there, you can edit it to test
with other values and you can click the update button next to it to return to the
original value that will be used to validate your code during testing.

The result of your program should be the 3 numbers you go through to get the
smallest sum separated by a space. For the example, the output would be exactly
like this:
123
