AssortedProblems

C# console and libraries for problems asked in a live coding interview or a technical assessment.

AssortedProblemsConsole

Run the solution and a console will appear. Enter a command according to menu to run the corresponding problem.

AssortedProblemsTests

An xUnit Test Project for testing libraries in AssortedProblem Solution. A good test suite can help us refactor quicker and in a less stressful manner. TDD (Test Driven Development) can help and force us to design well factored software iteratively, backed by tests to help future work as it arrives.

CoderbyteConsoleApp

Console app for coderbyte technical assessment or similar.

FizzBuzz

Problem

https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/fizzbuzz/problem
Print each number from 1 to 100 on a new line.
For each multiple of 3, print "Fizz" instead of the number.
For each multiple of 5, print "Buzz" instead of the number.
For numbers which are multiples of both 3 and 5, print "FizzBuzz" instead of the number.

Solution

Implemented in FizzBuzz library and is called by the console app.

Testing

Tested by FizzBuzzUnitTest in the xUnit Test Project.

Palindrome

A word, verse, or sentence (such as "Able was I ere I saw Elba") or a number (such as 1881) that reads the same backward or forward (Merriam-Webster). It ignores spaces and punctuation marks. Empty string is a palindrome.

Problem

Determine whether the input is a palindrome or not. Implement both case sensitive and case insensitive. Assume there is no punctuation mark from the input.

Solution

Implemented in Palindrome library and is called by the console app.

Testing

Tested by PalindromeUnitTest in the xUnit Test Project.

Palindrome Level

Problem

Calculate the palindrome level of the input (case insensitive).

  1. Example "dam madam mad":
  • dammadammad: a palindrome, count 1
  • dammad: a palindrome, count 2
  • dam: not a palindrome
  • Thus, "dam madam mad" is palindrome level 2.
  1. Second Example "tattattattat":
  • tattattattat: a palindrome, count 1
  • tattat: a palindrome, count 2
  • tat: a palindrome, count 3
  • ta: not a palindrome
  • Thus, "tattattattat" is palindrome level 3.
  1. Third Example "ab":
  • ab: not a palindrome
  • Thus, "ab" is palindrome level 0.
  1. Notes:
  • No need to check the next ones if the current one is not a palindrome
  • If the number of characters is odd but not one, the next one checked is the first half + 1
  • If the number of characters is even, the next one checked is the first half
  • If the number of character is one, the next one checked is empty string

Solution

Implemented in Palindrome library and is called by the console app.

Testing

Tested by PalindromeUnitTest in the xUnit Test Project.

Anagram

An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase. (Wikipedia)

Problem

Determine whether the two inputs are anagrams (case sensitive).

Solution

Implemented in Anagram library and is called by the console app.

Testing

Tested by AnagramUnitTest in the xUnit Test Project.

Tree Dictionary: Existance

Tree dictionary stores collection of words in a form of tree.

  1. First Example
    This tree dictionary stores words "add", "all", and "aztec" in a form of tree.
a - d - d
    |
    l - l
    |
    z - t - e - c
  1. Second Example
    This tree dictionary stores words "add", "ally", "alter", "code", "debug", and "decode" in a form of tree.
a - d - d
|   |
|   l - l - y
|       |
|       t - e - r
|
c - o - d - e
|
d - e - b - u - g
        |
        c - o - d - e

Notice that by adding "ally" to dictionary tree, the word "all" is automatically included. This is also true for substrings of those 6 words starting with index 0.
Also notice that the word "ac" is not included in the tree dictionary.

Problem

Create a function to find whether a string exists in a tree dictionary. Assume there would be at least one character in tree dictionary. Assume only lowercase characters are used.

Solution

Implemented in TreeDictionary library.

Testing

Tested by TreeDictionaryUnitTest in the xUnit Test Project.

Tree Dictionary: Print

Problem

Make a function to return the string of a tree dictionary like shown in Tree Dictionary: Existance problem. It is recommended to use string builder.

Solution

Implemented in TreeDictionary library.

Testing

Tested by TreeDictionaryUnitTest in the xUnit Test Project.

Codeland

https://coderbyte.com/editor/Codeland%20Username%20Validation:Csharp

Problem

Create username validation according to the following rules:

  1. The username is between 4 and 25 characters.
  2. It must start with a letter.
  3. It can only contain letters, numbers, and the underscore character.
  4. It cannot end with an underscore character.

Solution

Implemented in Codeland library.

Testing

Tested by CodelandUnitTest in the xUnit Test Project.

Tower Breakers

https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/one-week-preparation-kit-tower-breakers-1/problem

Assuming P1 and P2 both play optimally,

  • If height of tower is 1, P2 always win because P1 unable to move.
  • If number of tower is even, P2 always win because P2 can mimic P1 moves until P1 inevitably run out of moves.
  • If number of tower is odd, P1 always win because P1 first move will be reducing a tower to height of 1, effectively making it an even tower game. P1 mimics P2 moves until P2 inevitably run out of moves.
