Coding problem2
It was an mcq and coding round
It contained four sections:
1. Aptitude
2. Reasoning
3. English
4. Coding (It contains 2 questions, one is medium and other is little hard)
1. Concatenate the largest digit
Easy
15m average time
85% success
0/40
Asked in companies
You are given three non-zero numbers ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’. The task is to find the number formed by concatenating the largest digit from each of these numbers in the order of ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’.
For Example :
A = 5678, B = 45 and C = 769
The largest digit in ‘A’ is ‘8’, ‘B’ is ‘5’, and ‘C’ is ‘9’. The new number formed by concatenating the largest digit from each of these numbers is ‘859’. So, the answer is ‘859’.
Problem approach
1. I solved this problem using python
2. I have taken input into list using map function i:e;list1=list(map(int,input().split(" "))
3. started looping from 0 to length of list1
4. In each iteration i stored max digit in each number to list
5. And finally i converted list to string(using join method in python)and then to integer(using int())
2. Remove Vowels
Easy
10m average time
90% success
0/40
Asked in companies
You are given a string STR of length N. Your task is to remove all the vowels present in that string and print the modified string.
English alphabets ‘a’, ‘e’, ‘i’, ‘o’, ‘u’ are termed as vowels. All other alphabets are called consonants.
Note: You have to only remove vowels from the string. There will be no change in the relative position of all other alphabets.
For example:
(i) If the input string is 'CodeGeek', the output should be CdGk after removing ‘o’ and ‘e’.
(ii) If the input string is 'Odinson', the output should be 'dnsn' after removing ‘o’ and ‘i’.
Problem approach
1. Get the input as a string
2. convert to list
3. Define or initialize a list containing the vowels i.e., a, e,i, o, u.
4. Traverse through the input string, if the vowel is encountered, it should be removed from the string (using remove())
5. convert to string
6. Display the final result string.
