1. Puzzle Question
If in a cricket one day match, there were no wide balls, no wides, no extras and no overthrows.
What is the maximum number of runs that a batsman can score in an ideal case scenario?
Problem approach
1653
Explanation:
For an ideal case, the batsman will hit a six on each ball. But if he hits six on the last ball of the over, the strike will change in the next over. Thus, the best he can do in the last ball is run 3 runs so that he retains the strike even in the next over. Thus the total runs that he can score in each over:
6 * 5 + 3 = 33
But this will have to go like it only till the 49th over. In the last over, he can hit a six in the last ball as well as that will be the last ball of the match.
Thus runs for the last over will be 6 * 6 = 36.
Hence the maximum runs = 33 * 49 + 36 = 1653

1. Binary String Operations
The Binary number system only uses two digits, 0 and 1 and number system can be called binary string. You are required to implement the following function:
int OperationsBinaryString(char* str);
The function accepts a string str as its argument. The string str consists of binary digits eparated with an alphabet as follows:
– A denotes AND operation
– B denotes OR operation
– C denotes XOR Operation
You are required to calculate the result of the string str, scanning the string to right taking one opearation at a time, and return the same.
Note:
No order of priorities of operations is required
Length of str is odd
If str is NULL or None (in case of Python), return -1
Input:
str: 1C0C1C1A0B1
Output:
1
Problem approach
#include
using namespace std;
int OperationsBinaryString(char* str)
{
if(str==NULL)
return -1;
int i=1;
int a=*str-'0';
str++;
while(*str!='\0')
{
char p=*str;str++;
if(p=='A')
a&=(*str -'0');
else if (p=='B')
a|=(*str -'0');
else a^=(*str -'0');
str++;
}
return a;
}
int main()
{
string s;
getline(cin,s);
int len=s.size();
char *str=&s[0];
