Tip
Tip

Tip 1 : Be consistent like never ever leave even a single day practice even if you have other commitments 
Tip 2 : Follow one resource properly as there are tons of resources available but try to pick one only and start other only if you are finished with the first resource
Tip 3 : There is no set defined number for the number of question you have to do , just focus on the quality of questions . Eg : 1 good hard level problem >>>> 25 easy problems like sum of array etc.

Application process
Where: Campus
Eligibility: Above 7 cgpa and should know atleast 2 coding langauges properly
Resume Tip
Resume tip

Tip 1 : Try not to stuff your resume with fancy things like multiple small small projects
Tip 2 : Try to provide links for the project you are giving as it provides credibility of your work which you have shown.

Ninja wants to hire some ugly ninjas in his team for doing ugly work. So he has made an array that contains primes integer ‘PRIME_ARR’.

Ninjas who are coming to audition have to take some random number and put it on their body and now Ninja will hire the ‘K-TH’ ugly ninja whose number has all prime factors in the array ‘PRIME_ARR’.

Your task is to help ninja in writing a code so he can find the ‘K-TH’ ugly ninja whose all prime factors are in the array ‘PRIME_ARR’.

You will be provided with the array ‘PRIME_ARR’ containing prime integers and an integer ‘K’.

Example :

Suppose given array ‘PRIME_ARR = { 2, 7, 13, 19 }’ and given number ‘K’ =12’ 
So the sequence of first ‘12’ ugly numbers is { 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 13, 14, 16, 19, 26, 28, 32 }.
We start by filling ‘1’ and then ‘2’. We then fill ‘4’ as its prime factor 2 is present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.
Then we fill ‘7’  and then ‘8’ as its prime factor ‘2’ is present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.
Then insert '13'.
Then ‘14’ as its prime factors ‘2’ and ‘7’ are present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.
Then ‘16’ as its prime factor ‘2’ is present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.
Then ‘19’.
Then ‘26’ as its prime factors ‘2’ and ‘13’ are present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.
Then ‘28’ as its prime factors ‘2’ and ‘7’ are present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.
Then ‘32’ as its prime factor ‘2’ is present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.
We don’t include ‘3’, ‘5’, ‘9’, ‘11’, and so on as their prime factors are not present in ‘PRIME_ARR’.

You are given an array ‘ARR’, and a positive integer ‘K’. Your task is to count the total number of pairs whose sum is divisible by ‘K’.

For example:
You are given, ‘ARR’ =[4, 3, 5, 1, 4, 5], and ‘K’ = 5.  In the given array the pair sums divisible by ‘K’ are [4,1], [5, 5], [4, 1]. Since there are a total of 3 pairs, the answer is 3.
