The function returns the number of primes between start and end inclusive.
Recall that a prime is a positive integer greater than 1 whose only integer
factors are 1 and itself.
Examples
If start and retur reason
is end is n
10 30 6 The primes between 10 and 30 inclusive are 11, 13,
17, 19, 23 and 29
11 29 6 The primes between 11 and 29 inclusive are 11, 13,
17, 19, 23 and 29
20 22 0 20, 21, and 22 are all non-prime
1 1 0 By definition, 1 is not a prime number
5 5 1 5 is a prime number
6 2 0 start must be less than or equal to end
-10 6 3 primes are greater than 1 and 2, 3, 5 are prime
Examples
if a is retur reason
n
{2, 1, 1} 1 2+1+1
{2, 1, 1, 4, -1, -1} 1 2 = 1 + 1, 2 = 4 + -1 + -1
{6, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 1, 5, 0, 0} 1 6 = 2 + 4, 6 = 2 + 2 + 2, 6 = 1 + 5 + 0 +
0
{18, 9, 10, 6, 6, 6} 0 18 != 9 + 10
{-6, -3, -3, 8, -5, -4} 0 -6 != 8 + -5 + -4
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1 0 = 0 + 0, 0 = 0 + 0 + 0, 0 = 0 + 0 + 0 +
1, -2, -1} 0,
0 = 1 + 1 + 1 + -2 + -1
{3, 1, 2, 3, 0} 0 The length of the array is 5, but 5 does not
equal n*(n+1)/2 for any value of n.
3. An array is defined to be inertial if the following conditions hold:
a. it contains at least one odd value
b. the maximum value in the array is even
c. every odd value is greater than every even value that is not the maximum
value.
However, {12, 11, 4, 9, 2, 3, 10} is not inertial because it fails condition (c),
i.e., 10 (which is even) is greater 9 (which is odd) but 10 is not the maximum
value in the array.
Write a function called isIntertial that accepts an integer array and returns 1 if
the array is inertial; otherwise it returns 0.
There are three questions on this exam. You have two hours to complete it. Please do your own work.
1.Define a square pair to be the tuple <x, y> where x and y are positive, non-zero integers, x<y and x + y is
a perfect square. A perfect square is an integer whose square root is also an integer, e.g. 4, 9, 16 are perfect
squares but 3, 10 and 17 are not. Write a function named countSquarePairs that takes an array and returns
the number of square pairs that can be constructed from the elements in the array. For example, if the array
is {11, 5, 4, 20} the function would return 3 because the only square pairs that can be constructed from
those numbers are <5, 11>,
<5, 20> and <4, 5>. You may assume that there exists a function named isPerfectSquare that returns 1
if its argument is a perfect square and 0 otherwise. E.G., isPerfectSquare(4) returns 1 and
isPerfectSquare(8) returns 0.
You may assume that there are no duplicate values in the array, i.e, you don't have to deal with an
array like {2, 7, 2, 2}.
Examples:
if a is return reason
{9, 0, 2, -5, 7} 2 The square pairs are <2, 7> and <7, 9>. Note that <-5, 9> and <0, 9>
are not square pairs, even though they sum to perfect squares,
because both members of a square pair have to be greater than 0.
Also <7,2> and <9,7> are not square pairs because the first number
has to be less than the second number.
{9} 0 The array must have at least 2 elements
2. A prime number is an integer that is divisible only by 1 and itself. A porcupine number is a prime
number whose last digit is 9 and the next prime number that follows it also ends with the digit 9. For
example 139 is a porcupine number because:
a. it is prime
b. it ends in a 9
c. The next prime number after it is 149 which also ends in 9. Note that 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145,
146, 147 and 148 are not prime so 149 is the next prime number after 139.
Write a method named findPorcupineNumber which takes an integer argument n and returns the first
porcupine number that is greater than n. So findPorcupineNumber(0) would return 139 (because 139
happens to be the first porcupine number) and so would findPorcupineNumber(138). But
findPorcupineNumber(139) would return 409 which is the second porcupine number.
The Guthrie sequence of a positive number n is defined to be the numbers generated by the above
algorithm.
It is easy to see that this sequence was generated from the number 7 by the above algorithm. Since 7 is odd
multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 22 which is the second number of the sequence. Since 22 is even, divide by 2
to get 11 which is the third number of the sequence. 11 is odd so multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 34 which is
the fourth number of the sequence and so on.
Note: the first number of a Guthrie sequence is always the number that generated the sequence and the last
number is always 1.
Write a function named isGuthrieSequence which returns 1 if the elements of the array form a Guthrie
sequence. Otherwise, it returns 0.
Examples
if a is return reason
{8, 4, 2, 1} 1 This is the Guthrie sequence for 8
{8, 17, 4, 1} 0 This is not the Guthrie sequence for 8
{8, 4, 1} 0 Missing the 2
{8, 4, 2} 0 A Guthrie sequence must end with 1
There are three questions on this exam. You have two hours to complete it. Please do your own
work.
1. The Stanton measure of an array is computed as follows. Count the number of 1s in the array.
Let this count be n. The Stanton measure is the number of times that n appears in the array. For
example, the Stanton measure of {1, 4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2} is 3 because 1 occurs 2 times in the array
and 2 occurs 3 times.
Write a function named stantonMeasure that returns the Stanton measure of its array argument.
Examples
if a is return reason
{1} 1 1 occurs 1 time, 1 occurs 1 time
{0} 1 1 occurs 0 times, 0 occurs 1 time
{3, 1, 1, 4} 0 1 occurs 2 times, 2 occurs 0 times
{1, 3, 1, 1, 3, 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4} 6 1 occurs 3 times, 3 occurs 6 times
{} 0 1 occurs 0 times, 0 occurs 0 times
2. The sum factor of an array is defined to be the number of times that the sum of the array
appears as an element of the array. So the sum factor of {1, -1, 1, -1, 1, -1, 1} is 4 because the
sum of the elements of the array is 1 and 1 appears four times in the array. And the sum factor of
{1, 2, 3, 4} is 0 because the sum of the elements of the array is 10 and 10 does not occur as an
element of the array. The sum factor of the empty array { } is defined to be 0.
Write a function named sumFactor that returns the sum factor of its array argument.
Examples:
if a is return reason
{3, 0, 2, -5, 0} 2 The sum of array is 0 and 0 occurs 2 times
{9, -3, -3, -1, -1} 0 The sum of the array is 1 and 1 does not occur in array.
{1} 1 The sum of the array is 1 and 1 occurs once in the array
{0, 0, 0} 3 The sum of the array is 0 and 0 occurs 3 times in the array
3. Consider the following algorithm
Start with a positive number n
if n is even then divide by 2
if n is odd then multiply by 3 and add 1
continue this until n becomes 1
The Guthrie index of a positive number n is defined to be how many iterations of the above
algorithm it takes before n becomes 1.
For example, the Guthrie index of the number 7 is 16 because the following sequence is 16
numbers long.
22, 11, 34, 17, 52, 26, 13, 40, 20, 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
It is easy to see that this sequence was generated by the above algorithm. Since 7 is odd multiply
by 3 and add 1 to get 22 which is the first number of the sequence. Since 22 is even, divide by 2
to get 11 which is the second number of the sequence. 11 is odd so multiply by 3 and add 1 to get
34 which is the third number of the sequence and so on.
Write a function named guthrieIndex which computes the Guthrie index of its argument. Its
signature is
int guthrieIndex(int n)
Examples
if n is return sequence
1 0 number is already 1
2 1 1
3 7 10, 5, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
4 2 2, 1
42 8 21, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1
You may assume that the length of the sequence can be represented by a 32 bit signed integer.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have two hours to do it. Please do
your own work.
1. It is a fact that there exist two numbers x and y such that x! + y! = 10!.
Write a method named solve10 that returns the values x and y in an array.
Please be sure that the method solve10 returns an array, a, with two
elements
where a[0] == x, a[1] == y and x! + y! = 10!.
2. An array can hold the digits of a number. For example the digits of the
number 32053 are stored in the array {3, 2, 0, 5, 3}. Write a method call
repsEqual that takes an array and an integer and returns 1 if the array
contains only the digits of the number in the same order that they appear
in the number. Otherwise it returns 0.
Examples (note: your program must work for all values of a and n, not just
those given here!)
if a is and n is return reason
{3, 2, 0, 5, 3} 32053 1 the array contains only the digits
of the number, in the same order
as they are in the number.
{3, 2, 0, 5} 32053 0 the last digit of the number is
missing from the array.
{3, 2, 0, 5, 3, 4} 32053 0 an extra number (4) is in the
array.
{2, 3, 0, 5, 3} 32053 0 the array elements are not in the
same order as the digits of the
number
{9, 3, 1, 1, 2} 32053 0 elements in array are not equal
to digits of number.
{0, 3, 2, 0, 5, 3} 32053 1 you can ignore leading zeroes.
3. An array is called centered-15 if some consecutive sequence of elements
of the array sum to 15 and this sequence is preceded and followed by the
same number of elements. For example
{3, 2, 10, 4, 1, 6, 9} is centered-15 because the sequence 10, 4, 1 sums to
15 and the sequence is preceded by two elements (3, 2) and followed by two
elements(6,9).
Examples
if a is retur reason
n
{3, 2, 10, 4, 1, 6, 9} 1 the sequence 10, 4, 1 sums to 15 and is
preceded by 2 elements and followed by 2
elements. Note that there is another
sequence that sums to 15 (6,9}. It is okay
for the array to have more than one
sequence that sums to 15 as long as at
least one of them is centered.
{2, 10, 4, 1, 6, 9} 0 (10, 4, 1) is preceded by one element but
followed by two. (9,6) is preceded by five
elements but followed by none. Hence
neither qualify as centered.
{3, 2, 10, 4, 1, 6} (10, 4, 1) is preceded by two elements but
followed by one. Note that the values 3, 2,
4, 6 sum to 15 but they are not consecutive.
{1,1,8, 3, 1, 1} The entire array sums to 15, hence the
sequence is preceded by zero elements and
followed by zero elements.
{9, 15, 6} 1 the sequence (15) is preceded by one
element and followed by one element.
{1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1} 0 no sequence sums to 15.
{1, 1, 15 -1,-1} 1 there are three different sequences that
sum to 15, the entire array, (1, 15, -1) and
(15). In this case they all are centered but
the requirement is that just one of them has
to be.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to finish it. Please do your own work.
1. A perfect number is one that is the sum of its factors, excluding itself. The 1st perfect number
is 6 because 6 = 1 + 2 + 3. The 2nd perfect number is 28 which equals 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14. The
third is 496 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 31 + 62 + 124 + 248. In each case, the number is the sum of all
its factors excluding itself.
Write a method named henry that takes two integer arguments, i and j and returns the sum of the
ith and jth perfect numbers. So for example, henry (1, 3) should return 502 because 6 is the 1st
perfect number and 496 is the 3rd perfect number and 6 + 496 = 502.
You do not have to worry about integer overflow, i.e., you may assume that each sum that you
have to compute can be represented as a 31 bit integer. Hint: use modulo arithmetic to determine
if one number is a factor of another.
2. Write a method named isDivisible that takes an integer array and a divisor and returns 1 if all
its elements are divided by the divisor with no remainder. Otherwise it returns 0.
Examples
Write a function named isNUnique that returns 1 if its integer array argument is n-unique,
otherwise it returns 0. So isNUnique(new int[ ]{2, 7, 3, 4}, 5) should return 1 and
isNUnique(new int[] {2, 3, 3, 7}, 5) should return 0.
Examples
If a is and n is return because
{7, 3, 3, 2, 4} 6 0 because a[1]+a[2] == 6 and a[3]+a[4] also == 6.
{7, 3, 3, 2, 4} 10 0 because a[0]+a[1] == 10 and a[0] + a[2] also == 10
{7, 3, 3, 2, 4} 11 1 because only a[0] + a[4] sums to 11
{7, 3, 3, 2, 4} 8 0 because no pair of elements sum to 8. (Note that
a[1]+a[2]+a[3] do sum to 8 but the requirement is
that two elements sum to 8.)
{7, 3, 3, 2, 4} 4 0 no pair of elements sum to 4. (Note that the a[4]==4,
but the requirement is that two elements have to sum
to 4.)
{1} anything 0 array must have at least 2 elements
There are three questions on this exam. You have two hours to complete it.
1. Write a function named isSquare that returns 1 if its integer argument is a square of some integer,
otherwise it returns 0. Your function must not use any function or method (e.g. sqrt) that comes with a
runtime library or class library!
Examples:
retu
if n is reason
rn
4 1 because 4 = 2*2
25 1 because 25 = 5*5
because there is no integer that when squared equals -4. (note, -2 squared is 4 not
-4 0
-4)
8 0 because the square root of 8 is not an integer.
0 1 because 0 = 0*0
2. A number with a base other than 10 can be written using its base as a subscript. For example, 10112
represents the binary number 1011 which can be converted to a base 10 number as follows:
Write a method named isLegalNumber that takes two arguments. The first argument is an array whose
elements are the digits of the number to test. The second argument is the base of the number represented by
the first argument. The method returns 1 if the number represented by the array is a legal number in the
given base, otherwise it returns 0.
For example the number 3214 can be passed to the method as follows:
isLegalNumber(new int[] {3, 2, 1}, 4)
This call will return 1 because 3214 is a legal base 4 number.
However, since all digits of a base n number must be less than n, the following call will return 0 because
3716 is not a legal base 6 number (the digit 7 is not allowed)
isLegalNumber(new int[] {3, 7, 1}, 6)
Some examples:
Your convertToBase10 method must call the isLegalNumber method that you wrote for question 2.
Write a function named matches which takes arrays A and P as arguments and returns 1 if A matches P.
Otherwise it returns 0. You may assume that P is a legal pattern, i.e., the absolute value of its elements
sum to the length of A and it contains no zeros. So do not write code to check if P is legal!
If you are programming in Java or C# the signature of the function is
int matches(int[ ] a, int[ ] p)
If you are programming in C++ or C, the signature of the function is
int matches(int a[ ], int len, int p[ ]) where len is the number of elements of a. Furthermore, the
value of p[0] should be the length of p. So, for example, if p={5, 2, -1, -2, 4}, p[0]=5 means that the array
has 5 elements and that the last 4 define the pattern.
Hint: Your function should have one loop nested in another. The outer loop iterates through the elements of
P. The inner loop iterates through the next sequence of A. The upper bound of the inner loop is the absolute
value of the current element of P. The lower bound of the inner loop is 0. The loop variable of the inner
loop is not used to index A!
2. Define a stacked number to be a number that is the sum of the first n positive integers for some n. The
first 5 stacked numbers are
1=1
3=1+2
6=1+2+3
10 = 1 + 2 + 3+ 4
15 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5
Note that from the above we can deduce that 7, 8, and 9 are not stacked numbers because they cannot be
the sum of any sequence of positive integers that start at 1.
Write a function named isStacked that returns 1 if its argument is stacked. Otherwise it returns 0. Its
signature is:
int isStacked(int n);
So for example, isStacked(10) should return 1 and isStacked(7) should return 0.
3. Define an array to be sum-safe if none of its elements is equal to the sum of its
elements. The array
a = {5, -5, 0} is not sum-safe because the sum of its elements is 0 and a[2] == 0.
However, the array a = {5, -2, 1} is sum-safe because the sum of its elements is 4
and none of its elements equal 4.
Write a function named isSumSafe that returns 1 if its argument is sum-safe, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isSumSafe(int[ ]a)
If you are writing in C++ or C, the function signature is
int isSumSafe(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in a.
For example, isSumSafe(new int[ ] {5, -5, 0}) should return 0 and isSumSafe(new int[ ]{5, -2, 1}) should
return 1.
Return 0 if the array is empty.
There are three questions on this exam. You have two hours to finish. Please do your own work.
1. Define a positive number to be isolated if none of the digits in its square are in its cube. For example 163 is
n isolated number because 69*69 = 26569 and 69*69*69 = 4330747 and the square does not contain any of
the digits 0, 3, 4 and 7 which are the digits used in the cube. On the other hand 162 is not an isolated number
because 162*162=26244 and 162*162*162 = 4251528 and the digits 2 and 4 which appear in the square are
also in the cube.
Write a function named isIsolated that returns 1 if its argument is an isolated number, it returns 0 if its not an
isolated number and it returns -1 if it cannot determine whether it is isolated or not (see the note below). The
function signature is:
int isIsolated(long n)
Note that the type of the input parameter is long. The maximum positive number that can be represented as a
long is 63 bits long. This allows us to test numbers up to 2,097,151 because the cube of 2,097,151 can be
represented as a long. However, the cube of 2,097,152 requires more than 63 bits to represent it and hence
cannot be computed without extra effort. Therefore, your function should test if n is larger than 2,097,151 and
return -1 if it is. If n is less than 1 your function should also return -1.
Hint: n % 10 is the rightmost digit of n, n = n/10 shifts the digits of n one place to the right.
The first 10 isolated numbers are
N n*n n*n*n
2 4 8
3 9 27
8 64 512
9 81 729
14 196 2744
24 576 13824
28 784 21952
34 1156 39304
58 3364 195112
63 3969 250047
Example
if a is Return reason
{1} 1 all elements use only digit 1.
{11, 22, 13, 34, 125} 0 Elements used 5 different digits
{9, 999, 99999, -9999} 1 Only digit 9 is used by all elements.
Note that negative numbers are
okay.
{} 1 There is no counterexample to the
hypothesis that all elements use the
same digit.
3. Define an array to be trivalent if all its elements are one of three different values. For example, {22, 19,
10, 10, 19, 22, 22, 10} is trivalent because all elements are either 10, 22, or 19. However, the array {1, 2, 2, 2,
2, 2, 2} is not trivalent because it contains only two different values (1, 2). The array {2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2, 41,
65} is not trivalent because it contains four different values (2, 3, 41, 65).
Write a function named isTrivalent that returns 1 if its array argument is trivalent, otherwise it returns 0.
Hint: Remember that the elements of the array can be any value, so be careful how you initialize your
local variables! For example using -1 to initialize a variable won’t work because -1 might be one of the
values in the array.
Examples
if a is return Reason
{-1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0} 1 All elements have one of three values (0, -1, 1)
{} 0 There are no elements
{ 2147483647, -1, -1 1 Again only three different values. Note that the value of a[0]
-2147483648} is the maximum integer and the value of a[3] is the minimum
integer so you can’t use those to initialize local variables.
There are 3 questions on this exam. You have 2 hours to complete it. Please do your own work and use indentation.
1. Write a function named countRepresentations that returns the number of ways that an amount of money
in rupees can be represented as rupee notes. For this problem we only use rupee notes in denominations of
1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 rupee notes.
For example, countRepresentations(12) should return 15 because 12 rupees can be represented in the
following 15 ways.
1. 12 one rupee notes
2. 1 two rupee note plus 10 one rupee notes
3. 2 two rupee notes plus 8 one rupee notes
4. 3 two rupee notes plus 6 one rupee notes
5. 4 two rupee notes plus 4 one rupee notes
6. 5 two rupee notes plus 2 one rupee notes
7. 6 two rupee notes
8. 1 five rupee note plus 7 one rupee notes
9. 1 five rupee note, 1 two rupee note and 5 one rupee notes
10. 1 five rupee note, 2 two rupee notes and 3 one rupee notes
11. 1 five rupee note, 3 two notes and 1 one rupee note
12. 2 five rupee notes and 2 one rupee notes
13. 2 five rupee notes and 1 two rupee note
14. 1 ten rupee note and 2 one rupee notes
15. 1 ten rupee note and 1 two rupee note
Hint: Use a nested loop that looks like this. Please fill in the blanks intelligently, i.e. minimize the number
of times that the if statement is executed.

Write a function named isSequentiallyBounded that returns 1 if its array argument is sequentially-bounded,
otherwise it returns 0.
• If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is int isSequentiallyBounded(int[ ] a)
• If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is int isSequentiallyBounded(int a[ ], int
len) where len is the length of the array.
Examples
if a is return Reason
{0, 1} 0 the value 0 has to occur less than 0 times, but it doesn’t
{-1, 2} 0 if array contains a negative number, return 0.
{} 1 since there are no values, there are none that can fail the test.
{5, 5, 5, 5} 1 5 occurs less than 5 times
{5, 5, 5, 2, 5} 0 array is not in ascending order.
Write a function named isMinMaxDisjoint that returns 1 if its array argument is minmax-disjoint, otherwise
it returns 0.
if a is return Reason
{18, -1, 3, 4, 0} 0 The max and min values are
adjacent to one another.
{9, 0, 5, 9} 0 The max value occurs twice in the
array.
{0, 5, 18, 0, 9| 0 The min value occurs twice in the
array.
{7, 7, 7, 7} 0 The min and the max value must
be different.
{} 0 There is no min or max.
{1, 2} 0 The min and max elements are
next to one another.
{1} 0 The min and the max are the
same.
There are 3 questions on this exam. You have 2 hours to complete it. Please do your own work.
1. The number 124 has the property that it is the smallest number whose first three multiples contain the digit 2.
Observe that
124*1 = 124, 124*2 = 248, 124*3 = 372 and that 124, 248 and 372 each contain the digit 2. It is possible to generalize
this property to be the smallest number whose first n multiples each contain the digit 2. Write a function named
smallest(n) that returns the smallest number whose first n multiples contain the digit 2. Hint: use modulo base 10
arithmetic to examine digits.
Its signature is
int smallest(int n)
You may assume that such a number is computable on a 32 bit machine, i.e, you do not have to detect integer overflow
in your answer.
Examples
If n is return because
because the first four multiples of 624 are 624, 1248, 1872, 2496 and they all contain the
4 624
digit 2. Furthermore 624 is the smallest number whose first four multiples contain the digit 2.
because the first five multiples of 624 are 624, 1248, 1872, 2496, 3120. Note that 624 is also
5 624
the smallest number whose first 4 multiples contain the digit 2.
6 642 because the first five multiples of 642 are 642, 1284, 1926, 2568, 3210, 3852
because the first five multiples of 4062 are 4062, 8124, 12186, 16248, 20310, 24372, 28434.
7 4062
Note that it is okay for one of the multiples to contain the digit 2 more than once (e.g., 24372).
2. Define a cluster in an integer array to be a maximum sequence of elements that are all the same value. For example,
in the array {3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4} there are 5 clusters, {3, 3, 3}, {4, 4}, {3}, {2, 2, 2, 2} and {4}. A cluster-
compression of an array replaces each cluster with the number that is repeated in the cluster. So, the cluster
compression of the previous array would be {3, 4, 3, 2, 4}. The first cluster {3, 3, 3} is replaced by a single 3, and so
on.
The function returns the cluster compression of the array a. The length of the returned array must be equal to the
number of clusters in the original array! This means that someplace in your answer you must dynamically allocate the
returned array.
Examples
a is then function returns
{0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0} {0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0}
{18} {18}
{} {}
{-5, -5, -5, -5, -5} {-5}
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} {1, 2, 1}
{8, 8, 6, 6, -2, -2, -2} {8, 6, -2}
3. Define an array to be a railroad-tie array if the following three conditions hold
Write a function named isRailroadTie which returns 1 if its array argument is a railroad-tie array; otherwise it returns
0.
More examples:
if a is return
{1, 2} 1
{1, 2, 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2} 1
{3, 3, 0, 3, 3, 0, 3, 3, 0, 3, 3} 1
{0, 0, 0, 0} 0 (must have non-zero element)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} 0 (a[1] has two non-zero neighbors)
{1, 3, 0, 3, 5, 0} 0 (a[5] has no right neighbor)
This exam has three questions. You have two hours to complete it. Please format your answers so that
blocks are indented. This makes it easier for the grader to read your answers. And do your own work!
1. Define the fullness quotient of an integer n > 0 to be the number of representations of n in bases 2
through 9 that have no zeroes anywhere after the most significant digit. For example, to see why the
fullness quotient of 94 is 6 examine the following table which shows the representations of 94 in bases 2
through 9.
if n is return Because
Because all of its representations do not have a 0 anywhere after the most significant digit:
1 8
2: 2, 3: 3, 4: 4, 5: 5, 6: 6, 7: 7, 8: 8, 9: 9
{7, 7, 7,
7, 7, 7, 7, 1 because 7 occurs seven times and 1 occurs once.
1}
{7, 7, 7,
7, 1, 7, 7, 0 because the 7s are not in consecutive locations.
7}
{7, 7, 7,
1 because 7 occurs seven times
7, 7, 7, 7}
{-3, -3,
0 because not all values are positive
-3}
Hint: Make sure that your solution handles all the above examples
correctly!
3. An array is defined to be odd-heavy if it contains at least one odd
element and every element whose value is odd is greater than every even-
valued element. So {11, 4, 9, 2, 8} is odd-heavy because the two odd
elements (11 and 9) are greater than all the even elements. And {11, 4,
9, 2, 3, 10} is not odd-heavy because the even element 10 is greater
than the odd element 9.
Write a function called isOddHeavy that accepts an integer array and
returns 1 if the array is odd-heavy; otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is int
isOddHeavy(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is int
isOddHeavy(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array
Some other examples:
if the input
isOddHeavy should return
array is
{1, 1, 1, 1,
1
1, 1}
This exam is two hours long and contains three questions. Please indent your code so it is easy for the
grader to read it.
1. Write a method named getExponent(n, p) that returns the largest exponent x such that px evenly divides
n. If p is <= 1 the method should return -1.
For example, getExponent(162, 3) returns 4 because 162 = 21 * 34, therefore the value of x here is 4.
Examples:
and p retu
if n is Because
is rn
27 3 3 33 divides 27 evenly but 34 does not.
28 3 0 30 divides 28 evenly but 31 does not.
71 divides 280 evenly but 72 does
280 7 1
not.
53 divides -250 evenly but 54 does
-250 5 3
not.
18 1 -1 if p <=1 the function returns -1.
43 divides 128 evenly but 44 does
128 4 3
not.
2. Define an array to be a 121 array if all its elements are either 1 or 2 and it begins with one or more 1s
followed by a one or more 2s and then ends with the same number of 1s that it begins with. Write a method
named is121Array that returns 1 if its array argument is a 121 array, otherwise, it returns 0.
Examples
then function
a is reason
returns
because the same number of 1s are at the beginning and
{1, 2, 1} 1 end of the array and there is at least one 2 in between
them.
because the same number of 1s are at the beginning and
{1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1} 1 end of the array and there is at least one 2 in between
them.
Because the number of 1s at the end does not equal the
{1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1} 0
number of 1s at the beginning.
{1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 1} 0 Because the middle does not contain only 2s.
{1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 3} 0 Because the array contains a number other than 1 and 2.
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} 0 Because the array does not contain any 2s
{2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1} 0 Because the first element of the array is not a 1.
{1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2, 2} 0 Because the last element of the array is not a 1.
{2, 2, 2} 0 Because there are no 1s in the array.
3. A binary representation of a number can be used to select elements from an array. For example,
n: 88 = 23 + 24 + 26 (1011000)
array: 8, 4, 9, 0, 3, 1, 2
indexes 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
selected * * *
result 0, 3, 2
In the above, the elements that are selected are those whose indices are used as exponents in the binary
representation of 88. In other words, a[3], a[4], and a[6] are selected for the result because 3, 4 and 6 are
the powers of 2 that sum to 88.
Write a method named filterArray that takes an array and a non-negative integer and returns the result of
filtering the array using the binary representation of the integer. The returned array must big enough to
contain the filtered elements and no bigger. So in the above example, the returned array has length of 3, not
7 (which is the size of the original array.) Futhermore, if the input array is not big enough to contain all
the selected elements, then the method returns null. For example, if n=3 is used to filter the array a =
{18}, the method should return null because 3=20+21 and hence requires that the array have at least 2
elements a[0] and a[1], but there is no a[1].
a. Compute the size of the returned array by counting the number of 1s in the binary representation of n
(You can use modulo 2 arithmetic to determine the 1s in the binary represention of n)
c. Fill the allocated array with elements selected from the input array
Examples
and
if a is return because
n is
because there are no 1s in the binary
{9, -9} 0 {}
representation of 0
{9, -9} 1 {9} because 1 = 20 and a[0] is 9
{9, -9} 2 {-9} because 2 = 21 and a[1] is -9
{9, -9} 3 {9, -9} because 3 = 20 + 21 and a[0]=9, a[1]=-9
{9, -9} 4 null because 4 = 22 and there is no a[2]
{9, -9, 5} 3 {9, -9} because 3 = 20 + 21 and a[0]=9, a[1]=-9
because 11 = 20 + 21 + 23 and a[0]=0,
{0, 9, 12, 18, -6} 11 {0, 9, 18}
a[1]=9, a[3]=18
There are three questions on this exam. You have 2 hours to complete it. Please indent your program so that
it is easy for the grader to read.
1. Write a function named largestAdjacentSum that iterates through an array computing the sum of
adjacent elements and returning the largest such sum. You may assume that the array has at least 2
elements.
Examples:
if a is return
{1, 2, 3, 4} 7 because 3+4 is larger than either 1+2 or 2+3
{18, -12, 9, -10} 6 because 18-12 is larger than -12+9 or 9-10
{1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1} 2 because all adjacent pairs sum to 2
{1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1} 3 because 1+2 or 2+1 is the max sum of adjacent pairs
2. The number 198 has the property that 198 = 11 + 99 + 88, i.e., if each of its digits is concatenated twice
and then summed, the result will be the original number. It turns out that 198 is the only number with this
property. However, the property can be generalized so that each digit is concatenated n times and then
summed. For example, 2997 = 222+999+999+777 and here each digit is concatenated three times. Write a
function named checkContenatedSum that tests if a number has this generalized property.
The signature of the function is
int checkConcatenatedSum(int n, int catlen) where n is the number and catlen is the number of times to
concatenate each digit before summing.
The function returns 1 if n is equal to the sum of each of its digits contenated catlen times. Otherwise, it
returns 0. You may assume that n and catlen are greater than zero
Hint: Use integer and modulo 10 arithmetic to sequence through the digits of the argument.
Examples:
if n is and catlen is return reason
198 2 1 because 198 == 11 + 99 + 88
198 3 0 because 198 != 111 + 999 + 888
2997 3 1 because 2997 == 222 + 999 + 999 + 777
2997 2 0 because 2997 != 22 + 99 + 99 + 77
13332 4 1 because 13332 = 1111 + 3333 + 3333 + 3333 + 2222
9 1 1 because 9 == 9
3. Define an m-n sequenced array to be an array that contains one or more occurrences of all the integers
between m and n inclusive. Furthermore, the array must be in ascending order and contain only those
integers. For example, {2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5} is a 2-5 sequenced array. The array {2, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5} is not a 2-5
sequenced array because it is missing a 4. The array {0, 2, 2, 3, 3} is not a 2-3 sequenced array because the
0 is out of range. And {1,1, 3, 2, 2, 4} is not a 1-4 sequenced array because it is not in ascending order.
Write a method named isSequencedArray that returns 1 if its argument is a m-n sequenced array,
otherwise it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C# the function signature is
int isSequencedArray(int[ ] a, int m, int n)
Examples
and and
if a is return reason
m is n is
because the array contains all the numbers
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 1 5 1 between 1 and 5 inclusive in ascending order and
no other numbers.
{1, 3, 4, 2, 5} 1 5 0 because the array is not in ascending order.
because the array contains all the numbers
between -5 and -2 inclusive in ascending order
{-5, -5, -4, -4, -4, -3, -3, -2, -2, -2} -5 -2 1
and no other numbers. Note that duplicates are
allowed.
{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 1 5 0 because 0 is not in between 1 and 5 inclusive
{1, 2, 3, 4} 1 5 0 because there is no 5
{1, 2, 5} 1 5 0 because there is no 3 or 4
because the array does not start with a 1.
{5, 4, 3, 2, 1} 1 5 0
Furthermore, it is not in ascending order.
There are three questions on this exam. You have 2 hours to complete it. Please indent your programs so
that it is easy for the grader to read.
1. Write a function named largestPrimeFactor that will return the largest prime factor of a number. If the
number is <=1 it should return 0. Recall that a prime number is a number > 1 that is divisible only by 1 and
itself, e.g., 13 is prime but 14 is not.
Examples:
if n is return because
10 5 because the prime factors of 10 are 2 and 5 and 5 is the largest one.
6936 17 because the distinct prime factors of 6936 are 2, 3 and 17 and 17 is the largest
1 0 because n must be greater than 1
2. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic states that every natural number greater than 1 can be written as a
unique product of prime numbers. So, for instance, 6936=2*2*2*3*17*17. Write a method named
encodeNumber what will encode a number n as an array that contains the prime numbers that, when
multipled together, will equal n. So encodeNumber(6936) would return the array {2, 2, 2, 3, 17, 17}. If the
number is <= 1 the function should return null;
Note that if you are programming in Java or C#, the returned array should be big enough to contain the
prime factors and no bigger. If you are programming in C or C++ you will need one additional element to
contain the terminating zero.
Examples
if n is return reason
2 {2} because 2 is prime
6 {2, 3} because 6 = 2*3 and 2 and 3 are prime.
14 {2, 7} because 14=2*7 and 2 and 7 are prime numbers.
24 {2, 2, 2, 3} because 24 = 2*2*2*3 and 2 and 3 are prime
1200 {2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5} because 1200=2*2*2*2*3*5*5 and those are all prime
1 null because n must be greater than 1
-18 null because n must be greater than 1
3. Consider a simple pattern matching language that matches arrays of integers. A pattern is an array of
integers. An array matches a pattern if it contains sequences of the pattern elements in the same order as
they appear in the pattern. So for example, the array {1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 3} matches the pattern {1, 2, 1, 3}
as follows:
The pattern must be completely matched, i.e. the last element of the array must be matched by the last
element of the pattern.
Here is an incomplete function that does this pattern matching. It returns 1 if the pattern matches the array,
otherwise it returns 0.
Please finish this function by writing the code for the last else statement. Your answer just has to include
this code, you do not have to write the entire function.
Examples
if a is and pattern is return reason
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1} {1} 1 because all elements of the array match the pattern element 1
{1} {1} 1 because all elements of the array match the pattern element 1
because the first two 1s of the array are matched by the first pattern
{1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2} {1, 2} 1
element, last four 2s of array are matched by the last pattern element
{1, 2, 3} {1, 2} 0 because the 3 in the array is not in the pattern.
{1, 2} {1, 2, 3} 0 because the 3 in the pattern is not in the array
{1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3} {1, 3} 0 because at least one 3 must appear after the sequence of 1s.
{1, 1, 1, 1} {1, 2} 0 because the array ends without matching the pattern element 2.
{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3} {1, 2} 0 because the element 3 of the array is not matched
because the 10 element is not matched by the 4 pattern element. Be
{1, 1, 10, 4, 4, 3} {1, 4, 3} 0
sure your code handles this situation correctly!
There are three questions on this exam. You have 2 hours to complete it. Please indent your program so that
it is easy for the grader to read.
1. Define the n-based integer rounding of an integer k to be the nearest multiple of n to k. If two multiples
of n are equidistant use the greater one. For example
Write a function named doIntegerBasedRounding that takes an integer array and rounds all its positive
elements using n-based integer rounding.
A negative element of the array is not modified and if n <=0, no elements of the array are modified.
Finally you may assume that the array has at least two elements.
Hint: In integer arithmetic, (6/4) * 4 = 4
Examples
if a is and n is then a becomes reason
because the 2-based rounding of 1 is 2, the 2-based
rounding of 2 is 2, the 2-based rounding of 3 is 4, the
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 2 {2, 2, 4, 4, 6}
2-based rounding of 4 is 4, and the 2-based rounding
of 5 is 6.
because the 3-based rounding of 1 is 0, the 3-based
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 3 {0, 3, 3, 3, 6} roundings of 2, 3, 4 are all 3, and the 3-based
rounding of 5 is 6.
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} -3 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} because the array is not changed if n <= 0.
{-1, -2, -3, -4, -5} 3 {-1, -2, -3, -4, -5} because negative numbers are not rounded
because -18 is negative and hence is not modified,
{-18, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 4 {-18, 0, 4, 4, 4, 4} the 4-based rounding of 1 is 0, and the 4-based
roundings of 2, 3, 4, 5 are all 4.
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 5 {0, 0, 5, 5, 5}
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} 100 {0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
2. A number n>0 is called cube-powerful if it is equal to the sum of the cubes of its digits.
Write a function named isCubePowerful that returns 1 if its argument is cube-powerful; otherwise it
returns 0.
Examples:
retu
if n is because
rn
153 1 because 153 = 13 + 53 + 33
370 1 because 370 = 33 + 73 + 03
371 1 because 371 = 33 + 73 + 13
407 1 because 407 = 43 + 03 + 73
87 0 because 87 != 83 + 73
because n must be greater than
0 0
0.
because n must be greater than
-81 0
0.
3. A number can be encoded as an integer array as follows. The first element of the array is any number and
if it is negative then the encoded number is negative. Each digit of the number is the absolute value of the
difference of two adjacent elements of the array. The most significant digit of the number is the absolute
value of the difference of the first two elements of the array. For example, the array {2, -3, -2, 6, 9, 18}
encodes the number 51839 because
5 is abs(2 - (-3))
1 is abs(-3 - (-2))
8 is abs(-2 - 6)
3 is abs(6-9)
9 is abs(9-18)
The number is positive because the first element of the array is >= 0.
You may assume that the encoded array is correct, i.e., the absolute value of the difference of any two
adjacent elements is between 0 and 9 inclusive and the array has at least two elements.
Examples
then
a is function reason
returns
{0, -3, 0, -4, 0} 3344 because abs(0-(-3)=3, abs(-3-0)=3, abs(0-(-4))=4, abs(-4-0)=4
because abs(-1-5)=6, abs(5-8)=3, abs(8-17)=9, abs(17-15)=2;
{-1, 5, 8, 17, 15} -6392 the number is negative because the first element of the array
is negative
because abs(1-5)=4, remaining digits are the same as previous
{1, 5, 8, 17, 15} 4392 example; the number is positive because the first element of
the array is >=0.
because abs(111-115)=4, abs(115-118)=3, abs(118-127)=9,
{111, 115, 118, 127, 125} 4392 abs(127-125)=2; the number is positive because the first
element of the array is >=0.
{1, 1} 0 because abs(1-1) = 0
There are three questions on this exam. You have 2 hours to complete it.
1. An array is zero-plentiful if it contains at least one 0 and every sequence of 0s is of length at least 4.
Write a method named isZeroPlentiful which returns the number of zero sequences if its array argument is
zero-plentiful, otherwise it returns 0.
Examples
then function
a is reason
returns
because there is one sequence of 0s and
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0}1 1
its length >= 4.
because there are two sequences of 0s
{1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, -18, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 12}1 2
and both have lengths >= 4.
because three are three sequences of
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}1 3
zeros and all have length >=4
{1, 2, 3, 4}1 0 because there must be at least one 0.
because there is a sequence of zeros
{1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0} 0
whose length is less < 4.
because there is a sequence of zeroes
{0} 0
whose length is < 4.
{} 0 because there must be at least one 0.
2. A number is called digit-increasing if it is equal to n + nn + nnn + ... for some digit n between 1 and 9.
For example 24 is digit-increasing because it equals 2 + 22 (here n = 2)
Write a function called isDigitIncreasing that returns 1 if its argument is digit-increasing otherwise, it
returns 0.
Examples
then function
if n is reason
returns
7 1 because 7 = 7 (here n is 7)
36 1 because 36 = 3 + 33
984 1 because 984 = 8 + 88 + 888
because 7404 = 6 + 66 + 666 +
7404 1
6666
3. An integer number can be encoded as an array as follows. Each digit n of the number is represented by n
zeros followed by a 1. So the digit 5 is represented by 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1. The encodings of each digit of a
number are combined to form the encoding of the number. So the number 1234 is encoded as the array {0,
1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}. The first 0, 1 is contributed by the digit 1, the next 0, 0, 1 is contributed
by the digit 2, and so on.
There is one other encoding rule: if the number is negative, the first element of the encoded array must be
-1, so -201 is encoded as {-1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1}. Note that the 0 digit is represented by no zeros, i.e. there are
two consecutive ones!
Write a method named decodeArray that takes an encoded array and decodes it to return the number.
You may assume that the input array is a legal encoded array, i.e., that -1 will only appear as the first
element, all elements are either 0, 1 or -1 and that the last element is 1.
Examples
then
a is function reason
returns
because the digit 0 is represented
{1} 0
by no zeros followed by a one.
because the digit 1 is represented
{0, 1} 1
by one zero followed by a one.
because the encoding of a negative
number begins with a -1 followed
{-1, 0, 1} -1
by the encoding of the absolute
value of the number.
because the encoding of the first 1
is 0, 1, the encoding of each of the
{0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1} 100001
four 0s is just a 1 and the encoding
of the last 1 is 0, 1.
because each 9 digit is encoded as
{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1} 999
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1.
This exam consists of three questions. You have two hours in which to complete it.
1. An onion array is an array that satisfies the following condition for all values of j and k:
if j>=0 and k>=0 and j+k=length of array and j!=k then a[j]+a[k] <= 10
Write a function named isOnionArray that returns 1 if its array argument is an onion array and returns 0 if
it is not.
Your solution must not use a nested loop (i.e., a loop executed from inside another loop). Furthermore, once
you determine that the array is not an onion array your function must return 0; no wasted loops cycles
please!
Examples
then function
a is reason
returns
{1, 2, 19, 4, 5} 1 because 1+5 <= 10, 2+4 <=10
{1, 2, 3, 4, 15} 0 because 1+15 > 10
{1, 3, 9, 8} 0 because 3+9 > 10
because there is no j, k where a[j]+a[k] > 10 and j+k=length of
{2} 1
array and j!=k
because there is no j, k where a[j]+a[k] > 10 and j+k=length of
{} 1
array and j!=k
{-2, 5, 0, 5, 12} 1 because -2+12 <= 10 and 5+5 <= 10
2. A number n is called prime happy if there is at least one prime less than n and the sum of all primes less
than n is evenly divisible by n.
Recall that a prime number is an integer > 1 which has only two integer factors, 1 and itself
Examples:
if n is return because
5 1 because 2 and 3 are the primes less than 5, their sum is 5 and 5 evenly divides 5.
because 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 are the primes less than 25, their sum is 100 and 25
25 1
evenly divides 100
because 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 are the primes less than 32, their sum is 160 and
32 1
32 evenly divides 160
8 0 because 2, 3, 5, 7 are the primes less than 8, their sum is 17 and 8 does not evenly divide 17.
2 0 because there are no primes less than 2.
3. An integer number can be encoded as an array as follows. Each digit n of the number is represented by n
zeros followed by a 1. So the digit 5 is represented by 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1. The encodings of each digit of a
number are combined to form the encoding of the number. So the number 1234 is encoded as the array {0,
1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1}. The first 0, 1 is contributed by the digit 1, the next 0, 0, 1 is contributed
by the digit 2, and so on. There is one other encoding rule: if the number is negative, the first element of the
encoded array must be -1, so -201 is encoded as {-1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1}. Note that the 0 digit is represented by
no zeros, i.e. there are two consecutive ones!
Write a method named encodeArray that takes an integer as an argument and returns the encoded array.
Hints
Examples
n is then function returns reason
because the digit 0 is represented by no
0 {1} zeros and the representation of each digi
ends in one.
because the digit 1 is represented by one
1 {0, 1} zero and the representation of each digit
ends in one.
because the encoding of a negative
number begins with a -1 followed by the
-1 {-1, 0, 1}
encoding of the absolute value of the
number.
because the encoding of the first 1 is 0, 1
100001 {0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1} the encoding of each of the four 0s is jus
a 1 and the encoding of the last 1 is 0, 1.
because each 9 digit is encoded as
999 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1
0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1.
1. An array is called systematically increasing if it consists of increasing sequences of the numbers from 1
to n.
The first six (there are over 65,000 of them) systematically increasing arrays are:
{1}
{1, 1, 2}
{1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3}
{1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4}
{1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
{1, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Write a function named isSystematicallyIncreasing which returns 1 if its array argument is systematically
increasing. Otherwise it returns 0.
Examples
then
a is function reason
returns
because 1 is a sequence from 1 to 1 and is the only
{1} 1
sequence.
{1, 2, 1, 2, 3} 0 because it is missing the sequence from 1 to 1.
because {1, 3} is not a sequence from 1 to n for
{1, 1, 3} 0
any n.
because it contains more than one sequence from 1
{1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2} 0
to 2.
because it is "backwards", i.e., the sequences from
{1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1} 0
1 to n are not ordered by increasing value of n
because the sequence {1, 2} is missing (it should
{1, 1, 2, 3} 0
precede {1, 2, 3})
2. A positive, non-zero number n is a factorial prime if it is equal to factorial(n) + 1 for some n and it is
prime. Recall that factorial(n) is equal to 1 * 2 * ... * n-1 * n. If you understand recursion, the recursive
definition is
factorial(1) = 1;
factorial(n) = n*factorial(n-1).
For example, factorial(5) = 1*2*3*4*5 = 120.
Recall that a prime number is a natural number which has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1
and itself.
Write a method named isFactorialPrime which returns 1 if its argument is a factorial prime number,
otherwise it returns 0.
Examples
then function
if n is reason
returns
2 1 because 2 is prime and is equal to factorial(1) + 1
3 1 because 3 is prime and is equal to factorial(2) + 1
7 1 because 7 prime and is equal to factorial(3) + 1
8 0 because 8 is not prime
because 11 does not equal factorial(n) + 1 for any
11 0
n (factorial(3)=6, factorial(4)=24)
because 721 is not prime (its factors are 7 and
721 0
103)
3. Write a function named largestDifferenceOfEvens which returns the largest difference between even
valued elements of its array argument. For example largestDifferenceOfEvens(new int[ ]{-2, 3, 4, 9})
returns 6 = (4 - (-2)). If there are fewer than 2 even numbers in the array, largestDifferenceOfEvens should
return -1.
Examples
then function
a is reason
returns
{1, 3, 5, 9} -1 because there are no even numbers
because there is only one even number
{1, 18, 5, 7, 33} -1
(18)
{[2, 2, 2, 2]} 0 because 2-2 == 0
{1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 4, 1, 6, 4} 4 because 6 - 2 == 4
1. A hodder number is one that is prime and is equal to 2j-1 for some j. For example, 31
is a hodder number because 31 is prime and is equal to 25-1 (in this case j = 5). The first 4
hodder numbers are 3, 7, 31, 127
Write a function with signature int isHodder(int n) that returns 1 if n is a hodder number,
otherwise it returns 0.
Recall that a prime number is a whole number greater than 1 that has only two whole
number factors, itself and 1.
Hint: Please note that "pool" is not an anagram of "poll" even though they use the same
letters. Please be sure that your function returns 0 if given these two words! You can use
another array to keep track of each letter that is found so that you don't count the same
letter twice (e.g., the attempt to find the second "o" of "pool" in "poll" should fail.)
Hint: do not modify either a1 or a2, i.e., your function should have no side effects! If
your algorithm requires modification of either of these arrays, you must work with a copy
of the array and modify the copy!
Examples
3. The Fibonacci sequence of numbers is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The first and
second numbers are 1 and after that ni = ni-2 + ni-1, e.g., 34 = 13 + 21. A number in the
sequence is called a Fibonacci number. Write a method with signature int
closestFibonacci(int n) which returns the largest Fibonacci number that is less than or
equal to its argument. For example, closestFibonacci(13) returns 8 because 8 is the largest
Fibonacci number less than 13 and closestFibonacci(33) returns 21 because 21 is the
largest Fibonacci number that is <= 33. closestFibonacci(34) should return 34. If the
argument is less than 1 return 0. Your solution must not use recursion because unless you
cache the Fibonacci numbers as you find them, the recursive solution recomputes the
same Fibonacci number many times.
1. A number n is vesuvian if it is the sum of two different pairs of squares. For example, 50 is
vesuvian because 50 == 25 + 25 and 1 + 49. The numbers 65 (1+64, 16+49) and 85 (4+81,
36+49) are also vesuvian. 789 of the first 10,000 integers are vesuvian.
Write a function named isVesuvian that returns 1 if its parameter is a vesuvian number, otherwise
it returns 0. Hint: be sure to verify that your function detects that 50 is a vesuvian number!
2. Define an array to be one-balanced if begins with zero or more 1s followed by zero or more
non-1s and concludes with zero or more 1s. Write a function named isOneBalanced that returns
1 if its array argument is one-balanced, otherwise it returns 0.
Examples
then
functio
if a is reason
n
returns
because it begins with three 1s, followed by four non-1s and
{1, 1, 1, 2, 3, -18, 45, 1} 1
ends with one 1 and 3+1 == 4
because the 0 starts another sequence of non-1s. There can be
{1, 1, 1, 2, 3, -18, 45, 1, 0} 0
only one sequence of non-1s.
because there are two sequences of non-1s
{1, 1, 2, 3, 1, -18, 26, 1} 0
({2, 3} and {-18, 26}
because 0 (# of beginning 1s) + 0 (# of ending 1s) =
{} 1
0 (# of non-1s)
because 0 (# of beginning 1s) + 2 (# of ending 1s) =
{3, 4, 1, 1} 1
2 (# of non-1s)
because 2 (# of beginning 1s) + 0 (# of ending 1s) =
{1, 1, 3, 4} 1
2 (# of non-1s)
because 0 (# of beginning 1s) + 0 (# of ending 1s) !=
{3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3} 0
6 (# of non-1s)
because 6 (# of beginning 1s) + 0 (# of ending 1s) !=
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} 0
0 (# of non-1s)
3. The Fibonacci sequence of numbers is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ... The first and second
numbers are 1 and after that ni = ni-2 + ni-1, e.g., 34 = 13 + 21. Write a method with signature
int isFibonacci(int n) which returns 1 if its argument is a number in the Fibonacci sequence,
otherwise it returns 0. For example, isFibonacci(13) returns a 1 and isFibonacci(27) returns a 0.
Your solution must not use recursion because unless you cache the Fibonacci numbers as you
find them, the recursive solution recomputes the same Fibonacci number many times.
2. Define an array to be a Mercurial array if a 3 does not occur between any two 1s.
Write a function named isMercurial that returns 1 if its array argument is a Mercurial
array, otherwise it returns 0.
Hint: if you encounter a 3 that is preceded by a 1, then there can be no more 1s in the
array after the 3.
Examples
then function
a is reason
returns
because 3 occurs after a 1 (a[0]) and
{1, 2, 10, 3, 15, 1, 2, 2} 0
before another 1 (a[5])
{5, 2, 10, 3, 15, 1, 2, 2} 1 because the 3 is not between two 1s.
{1, 2, 10, 3, 15, 16, 2, 2} 1 because the 3 is not between two 1s.
because a[5] is a 3 and is between a[3]
{3, 2, 18, 1, 0, 3, -11, 1, 3} 0
and a[7] which are both 1s.
because there are no instances of a 3
{2, 3, 1, 1, 18} 1
that is between two 1s
because there are no instances of a 3
{8, 2, 1, 1, 18, 3, 5} 1
that is between two 1s
because there are no instances of a 3
{3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3} 1
that is between two 1s
because there are no instances of a 3
{1} 1
that is between two 1s
because there are no instances of a 3
{} 1
that is between two 1s
3. An array is defined to be a 235 array if the number of elements divisible by 2 plus the
number of elements divisible by 3 plus the number of elements divisible by 5 plus the
number of elements not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 is equal to the number of elements of the
array. Write a method named is123Array that returns 1 if its array argument is a 235
array, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int is235Array(int[ ] a)
Hint: remember that a number can be divisible by more than one number
Examples
In the following: <a, b, c, d> means that the array has a elements that are divisible by 2,
b elements that are divisible by 3, c elements that are divisible by 5 and d elements that
are not divisible by 2, 3, or 5.
if a is return reason
because one element is divisible by 2 (a[0]), one is
divisible by 3 (a[1]), one is divisible by 5 (a[2]) and two
{2, 3, 5, 7, 11} 1 are not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 (a[3] and a[4]). So we have
<1, 1, 1, 2> and 1+1+1+2 == the number of elements in
the array.
because two elements are divisible by 2 (a[0] and a[2]),
two are divisible by 3 (a[1] and a[2]), none are divisible
{2, 3, 6, 7, 11} 0 by 5 and two are not divisible by 2, 3, or 5 (a[3] and
a[4]). So we have <2, 2, 0, 2> and 2 + 2 + 0 + 2 == 6 !=
the number of elements in the array.
because <5, 3, 2, 1> and 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 == 11 != the
{2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10} 0
number of elements in the array.
because <5, 0, 0, 0> and 5 + 0 + 0 + 0 == 5 == the
{2, 4, 8, 16, 32} 1
number of elements in the array.
because <0, 3, 0, 6> and 0 + 3 + 0 + 6 == 9 == the
{3, 9, 27, 7, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} 1
number of elements in the array.
because <0, 0, 0, 4> and 0 + 0 + 0 + 4 == 4 == the
{7, 11, 77, 49} 1
number of elements in the array.
because <1, 0, 0, 0> and 1 + 0 + 0 + 0 == 1 == the
{2} 1
number of elements in the array.
because <0, 0, 0, 0> and 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 == 0 == the
{} 1
number of elements in the array.
because <4, 1, 0, 6> and 4 + 1 + 0 + 6 == 11 == the
{7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 7, 2, 3, 7, 7} 1
number of elements in the array.
1. Write a method named computeHMS that computes the number of hours, minutes and seconds in a
given number of seconds.
The returned array has 3 elements; arr[0] is the hours, arr[1] is the minutes and arr[2] is the seconds
contained within the seconds argument.
Recall that there are 3600 seconds in an hour and 60 seconds in a minute. You may assume that the
numbers of seconds is non-negative.
Examples
If seconds then function
reason
is returns
because 3735 = 1*3600 + 2*60 +15. In other words, 3,735 is the number of
3735 {1, 2, 15}
seconds in 1 hour 2 minutes and 15 seconds
380 {0, 6, 20} because 380 = 0*3600 + 6*60 + 20
3650 {1, 0, 50} because 3650 = 1*3600 + 0*60 + 50
55 {0, 0, 55} because 55 = 0*3600 + 0*60 + 55
0 {0, 0, 0} because 0 = 0*3600 + 0*60 + 0
2. Define an array to be a Martian array if the number of 1s is greater than the number of 2s and no two
adjacent elements are equal. Write a function named isMartian that returns 1 if its argument is a Martian
array; otherwise it returns 0.
1. You should return 0 as soon as it is known that the array is not a Martian array; continuing to analyze the
array would be a waste of CPU cycles.
Hint: Make sure that your solution does not exceed the boundaries of the array!
3. An array is defined to be paired-N if it contains two distinct elements that sum to N for some specified
value of N and the indexes of those elements also sum to N. Write a function named isPairedN that returns
1 if its array parameter is a paired-N array, otherwise it returns 0. The value of N is passed as the second
parameter.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isPairedN(int[ ] a, int n)
1. Once you know the array is paired-N, you should return 1. No wasted loop iterations please.
2. Do not enter the loop unless you have to. You should test the length of the array and the value of n to
determine whether the array could possibly be a paired-N array. If the tests indicate no, return 0 before
entering the loop.
Examples
if a is and n is return reason
because a[2] + a[3] == 5 and 2+3==5. In other
words, the sum of the values is equal to the sum of
{1, 4, 1, 4, 5, 6} 5 1
the corresponding indexes and both are equal to n
(5 in this case).
{1, 4, 1, 4, 5, 6} 6 1 because a[2] + a[4] == 6 and 2+4==6
{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} 6 1 because a[1]+a[5]==6 and 1+5==6
because although a[0] + a[1] == 5, 0+1 != 5; and
{1, 4, 1} 5 0
although a[1]+a[2]==5, 1+2 != 5
because there are several ways to get the values to
{8, 8, 8, 8, 7, 7, 7} 15 0 sum to 15 but there is no way to get the
corresponding indexes to sum to 15.
{8, -8, 8, 8, 7, 7, -7} -15 0 because although a[1]+a[6]==-15, 1+6!=-15
{3} 3 0 because the array has only one element
{} 0 0 because the array has no elements
This exam tests very basic programming skills and hence will be graded strictly. However, simple syntax
errors will be forgiven. The following examples gives you an idea of how the exam will be graded.
Sample problem: Write a method int allEven(int a[ ], int len) that returns 1 if all elements of the array a are
even, otherwise it returns 0. Assume that the array has at least one element.
Solution 1:
int allEven (int a[ ], int len)
{
int result = 1;
for (int i=0; i<len && result==1; i++)
{
if (a[i] % 2 == 1)
result = 0; // exit loop, found a non-even element
}
return result;
}
Grading result: Correct; full marks. Will also accept breaking or returning from loop.
Solution 2:
static int allEven (int a[ ], int len)
{
int result = 1;
for (int i=0; i<len; i++)
{
if (a[i] % 2 == 1)
result = 0; // found non-even element
}
return result;
}
Grading result: Correct, but inefficient; marks will be deducted because program continues to loop even
though it is known that the result is 0.
Solution 3
static int allEven (int a[ ], int len)
{
int result = 1;
for (int i=0; i<len; i++)
{
if (a[i] % 2 == 1)
result = 0;
else
result = 1;
}
return result;
}
Grading result: Incorrect; no marks. Program returns status of the last element of the array.
1. Define an array to be n-primeable if for a given n, all elements of the array when incremented by n are
prime. Recall that a prime number is a number that has no factors except 1 and itself. Write a method
named isNPrimeable that has an array parameter and an integer parameter that defines n; the method
returns 1 if its array parameter is n-primeable; otherwise it returns 0.
Examples
then function
If a is and n is reason
returns
{5, 15, 27} 2 1 5+2=7 is prime, and 15+2=17 is prime, and 27+2=29 is prime
{5, 15, 27} 3 0 5+3=8 is not prime
{5, 15, 26} 2 0 26+2=28 is not prime
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} 4 1 1+4=5 is prime. This obviously holds for all elements in the array
Since there are no elements in the array, there cannot exist one that is
{} 2 1
non-prime when 2 is added to it.
2. Define an array to be a 121 array if all elements are either 1 or 2 and the array begins with one or more
1s followed by a one or more 2s and then ends with the same number of 1s that it begins with. Write a
method named is121Array that returns 1 if its array argument is a 121 array, otherwise, it returns 0.
Examples
then function
a is reason
returns
because the same number of 1s are at the beginning and end of the
{1, 2, 1} 1
array and there is at least one 2 in between them.
because the same number of 1s are at the beginning and end of the
{1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1} 1
array and there is at least one 2 in between them.
Because the number of 1s at the end does not equal the number of 1s
{1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1} 0
at the beginning.
Because the number of 1s at the end does not equal the number of 1s
{1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1} 0
at the beginning.
{1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 3} 0 Because the array contains a number other than 1 and 2.
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1} 0 Because the array does not contain any 2s
{2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1} 0 Because the first element of the array is not a 1.
{1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2} 0 Because the last element of the array is not a 1.
{2, 2, 2} 0 Because there are no 1s in the array.
Hint: Walk through your solution with all the above test cases!
3. Write a method named pairwiseSum that has an array with an even number of elements as a parameter
and returns an array that contains the pairwise sums of the elements of its parameter array.
Otherwise, the method returns an array with arrayLength/2 elements. Each element of the returned array is
the sum of successive pairs of elements of the original array. See examples for more details.
Examples
if a is return reason
because 2+1=3, 18+-5=13. Note that there are exactly 2
{2, 1, 18, -5} {3, 13} elements in the returned array. You will lose full marks
for this question if you return {3, 13, 0, 0}!
because 2+1=3, 18+-5=13, -5+-15=-20, 0+0=0, 1+-1=0.
Note that there are exactly 5 elements in the returned
{2, 1, 18, -5, -5, -15, 0, 0, 1, -1} {3, 13, -20, 0, 0}
array. You will lose full marks for this question if you
return {3, 13, -20, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}!
{2, 1, 18} null because there are an odd number of elements in the array.
{} null because there are no elements in the array
1. Write a function named isSquare that returns 1 if its integer argument is a square of some integer,
otherwise it returns 0. Your function must not use any function or method (e.g. sqrt) that comes with a
runtime library or class library! You will need to write a loop to solve this problem. Furthermore, your
method should return as soon as the status of its parameter is known. So once it is known that the input
parameter is a square of some integer, your method should return 1 and once it is known that the input is
not a square, the method should return 0. There should be no wasted loop cycles, your method should be
efficent!
The signature of the function is
int isSquare(int n)
Examples:
retu
if n is reason
rn
4 1 because 4 = 2*2
25 1 because 25 = 5*5
because there is no integer that when squared equals -4. (note, -2 squared is 4 not
-4 0
-4)
8 0 because the square root of 8 is not an integer.
0 1 because 0 = 0*0
2. An array is called complete if it contains an even element, a perfect square and two different elements
that sum to 8. For example, {3, 2, 9, 5} is complete because 2 is even, 9 is a perfect square and a[0] + a[3]
= 8.
Write a function named isComplete that accepts an integer array and returns 1 if it is a complete array,
otherwise it returns 0. Your method must be efficient. It must return as soon as it is known that the
array is complete. Hint: reuse the method you wrote for question 1.
int isComplete(int[ ] a)
int isComplete(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array
Other examples
3. Write a function that takes two arguments, an array of integers and a positive, non-zero number n. It
sums n elements of the array starting at the beginning of the array. If n is greater than the number of
elements in the array, the function loops back to the beginning of the array and continues summing until it
has summed n elements. You may assume that the array contains at least one element and that n is greater
than 0.
int loopSum(int a[ ], int len, int n) where len is the number of elements in the array
Examples
and n
If a is then function returns
is
{1, 2, 3} 2 3 (which is a[0] + a[1])
-1 (which is a[0] + a[1] + a[2] + a[0] + a[1] + a[2] +
{-1, 2, -1} 7
a[0])
{1, 4, 5, 6} 4 16 (which is a[0] + a[1] + a[2] + a[3])
30
{3} 10
(a[0]+a[0]+a[0]+a[0]+a[0]+a[0]+a[0]+a[0]+a[0]+a[0])
1 Write a function named allValuesTheSame that returns 1 if all elements of its argument
array have the same value. Otherwise, it returns 0.
Examples:
if a is return
{1, 1, 1, 1} 1
{83, 83, 83} 1
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0} 1
{1, -2343456, 1, -2343456} 0 (because there are two different values, 1 and -2343456)
{0, 0, 0, 0, -1} 0 (because there are two different values, 0 and -1)
{432123456} 1
{-432123456} 1
{} 0
Note that an array argument is passed by reference so that any change you make to the
array in your function will be visible when the function returns. Therefore, you must not
modify the array in your function! In other words, your function should have no side
effects.
Examples
if a is if n is return
{1, 2, 2, 1} 2 1 (because there are 2 different element values, 1 and 2)
{1, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3} 3 1 (because there are 3 different element values, 1, 3, 8)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9,
10 1 (because there are 10 different element values)
10}
0 (because there are 2 different element values, not 3 as
{1, 2, 2, 1} 3
required)
0 (because there are 3 different element values, not 2 as
{1, 1, 1, 8, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3} 2
required)
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 ,9, 0 (because there are 10 different element values, not 20 as
20
10} required)
Hint: There are many ways to solve this problem. One way is to allocate an array of n
integers and add each unique element found in the array parameter to it. If you add n
elements to the array, return 1, otherwise return 0.
3 Write a function named sameNumberOfFactors that takes two integer arguments and
returns 1 if they have the same number of factors. If either argument is negative, return
-1. Otherwise return 0.
Examples:
if n1 is and n2 is return
-6 21 -1 (because one of the arguments is negative)
6 21 1 (because 6 has four factors (1, 2, 3, 6) and so does 21 (1, 3, 7, 21)
0 (because 8 has four factors(1, 2, 4, 8) and 12 has six factors (1, 2, 3, 4,
8 12
6, 12)
23 97 1 (because 23 has two factors (1, 23) and so does 97 (1, 97))
0 1 0 (because 0 has no factors, but 1 has one (1))
0 0 1 (always true if n1 == n2)
1. Write a function named eval that returns the value of the polynomial anxn + an-1xn-1
+ ... + a1x1 + a0.

5. An array is called layered if its elements are in ascending order and each element
appears two or more times. For example, {1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3} is layered but {1, 2, 2, 2, 3,
3} and {3, 3, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2} are not. Write a method named isLayered that accepts an
integer array and returns 1 if the array is layered, otherwise it returns 0.
Examples:

6. A mileage counter is used to measure mileage in an automobile. A mileage counter
looks something like this
0 599 8
The above mileage counter says that the car has travelled 5,998 miles. Each mile
travelled by the automobile increments the mileage counter. Here is how the above
mileage counter changes over a 3 mile drive.
0 599 9
0 600 0
0 600 1
0 599 8
You do not have to do any error checking. You may assume that the array contains non-
negative digits and that the mileage is non-negative
Examples:
if the input array is and the mileage is the array becomes
{8, 9, 9, 5, 0} 1 {9, 9, 9, 5, 0}
{8, 9, 9, 5, 0} 2 {0, 0, 0, 6, 0}
{9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9} 1 {0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
{9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9} 13 {2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}
Note that the mileage counter wraps around if it reaches all 9s and there is still some
mileage to add.
Hint: Write a helper function that adds 1 to the mileage counter and call the helper
function once for each mile

7. An array is said to be hollow if it contains 3 or more zeros in the middle that are
preceded and followed by the same number of non-zero elements. Furthermore, all the
zeroes in the array must be in the middle of the array. Write a function named isHollow
that accepts an integer array and returns 1 if it is a hollow array, otherwise it returns 0.
Examples:
is
if the input array is reason
hollow?
2 non-zeros precede and follow 3 zeros in the
{1,2,0,0,0,3,4} yes
middle
4 non-zeros precede and follow the 5 zeros in the
{1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,2,1,2,18} yes
middle
There are only 2 zeroes in the middle; at least 3 are
{1, 2, 0, 0, 3, 4} no
required
The number of preceding non-zeros(2) is not equal
{1,2,0,0,0,3,4,5} no
to the number of following non-zeros(3)
The number of preceding non-zeros(3) is not equal
{3,8,3,0,0,0,3,3} no
to the number of following non-zeros(2)
{1,2,0,0,0,3,4,0} no Not all zeros are in the middle
{0,1,2,0,0,0,3,4} no Not all zeros are in the middle
The number of preceding non-zeros is 0 which
{0,0,0} yes equals the number of following non-zeros. And
there are three zeros "in the middle".
Hint: Write three loops. The first counts the number of preceding non-zeros. The second
counts the number of zeros in the middle. The third counts the number of following non-
zeros. Then analyze the results.

9. A twin prime is a prime number that differs from another prime number by 2. Write a
function named isTwinPrime with an integer parameter that returns 1 if the parameter is
a twin prime, otherwise it returns 0. Recall that a prime number is a number with no
factors other than 1 and itself.
Examples:
Examples:
if a is return
{1, 2, 3, 4} 7 because 3+4 is larger than either 1+2 or 2+3
{18, -12, 9, -10} 6 because 18-12 is larger than -12+9 or 9-10
{1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1} 2 because all adjacent pairs sum to 2
{1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1} 3 because 1+2 or 2+1 is the max sum of adjacent pairs
11. An array is called zero-balanced if its elements sum to 0 and for each positive element
n, there exists another element that is the negative of n. Write a function named
isZeroBalanced that returns 1 if its argument is a zero-balanced array. Otherwise it
returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isZeroBalanced(int[ ] a)
Examples:
if a is return
1 because elements sum to 0 and each positive element has a
{1, 2, -2, -1}
corresponding negative element.
{-3, 1, 2, -2, -1, 1 because elements sum to 0 and each positive element has a
3} corresponding negative element.
{3, 4, -2, -3, 0 because even though this sums to 0, there is no element whose value is
-2} -4
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
1 this is true vacuously; 0 is not a positive number
0}
0 because it doesn't sum to 0. (Be sure your function handles this array
{3, -3, -3}
correctly)
{3} 0 because this doesn't sum to 0
{} 0 because it doesn't sum to 0
Examples:
if a is return
{1, 2, 3, 4} 7 because 3+4 is larger than either 1+2 or 2+3
{18, -12, 9, -10} 6 because 18-12 is larger than -12+9 or 9-10
{1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1} 2 because all adjacent pairs sum to 2
{1,1,1,1,1,2,1,1,1} 3 because 1+2 or 2+1 is the max sum of adjacent pairs
13. An array is called zero-balanced if its elements sum to 0 and for each positive
element n, there exists another element that is the negative of n. Write a function named
isZeroBalanced that returns 1 if its argument is a zero-balanced array. Otherwise it
returns 0.
Examples:
if a is return
1 because elements sum to 0 and each positive element has a
{1, 2, -2, -1}
corresponding negative element.
{-3, 1, 2, -2, -1, 1 because elements sum to 0 and each positive element has a
3} corresponding negative element.
{3, 4, -2, -3, 0 because even though this sums to 0, there is no element whose value is
-2} -4
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
1 this is true vacuously; 0 is not a positive number
0}
0 because it doesn't sum to 0. (Be sure your function handles this array
{3, -3, -3}
correctly)
{3} 0 because this doesn't sum to 0
{} 0 because it doesn't sum to 0
This test has three questions on it. You have two hours to complete it. Please do your own work.
1. A BEQ number is one whose cube contains exactly four 6’s. For example, 806 is a BEQ number
because 806*806*806 = 523,606,616 which has four 6’s. But 36 is not a BEQ number because its cube is
46,656 which has only three 6’s. And neither is 1,118 because its cube is 1,676,676,672 which contains five
6’s. Write a function named findSmallestBEQ that returns the smallest BEQ number. The function
signature is
int findSmallestBEQnumber( )
Hint use modulo base 10 arithmetic and integer division to get the digits of an integer.
2. An array, a, is called zero-limited if the following two conditions hold:
i. a[3*n+1] is 0 for n>=0 where 3*n+1 is less than the number of elements in the array.
ii. if i != 3*n+1 for some n, then a[i] does not equal 0
Write a function named isZeroLimited that returns 1 if its array argument is zero-limited, else it returns 0.
Examples
if a is return reason
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0} 0 Only a[1] and a[4] can be 0
{1, 0} 1 a[1] is 0, all other elements are non-zero
{0, 1} 0 a[1] must be 0 (and a[0] cannot be 0)
{5} 1 Note, because the length of the array is 1, there can be
no zero values, since the first one would occur at a[1]
{1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0} 1 Elements a[1], a[4], a[7] and a[10] are 0 and all others
are non zero
{} 1 Since there are no elements, none can fail the condition.
The best answers will make only one pass through the array, i.e, will have only one loop.
Write a function named isCubePerfect that returns 1 if its argument is cube-perfect, otherwise it returns 0.
Examples
if a is return because
{1, 1, 1, 1} 1 all elements are cubes of 1
{64} 1 64 = 4*4*4
{63} 0 63 is not the cube of any integer
{-1, 0, 1} 1 -1 = -1 * -1 * -1, 0 = 0 * 0 * 0, 1=1 * 1 * 1
{} 1 no elements fail the cube test
{3, 7, 21, 36} 0 3 is not the cube of any integer
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work.
1. Write a function named countOnes that returns the number of ones in the
binary representation of its argument. For example, countOnes(9) returns 2
because the binary representation of 9 is 1001.
Some other examples:
countOnes(5) returns 2 because binary 101 equals 5
countOnes(15) returns 4 because binary 1111 equals 15.
You may assume that the argument is greater than 0.
The function prototype is
int countOnes(int n);
Hint use modulo and integer arithmetic to count the number of ones.
2. A Daphne array is an array that contains either all odd numbers or all even
numbers. For example, {2, 4, 2} (only even numbers) and {1, 3, 17, 5} (only odd
numbers) are Daphne arrays but {3, 2, 5} is not because it contains both odd and
even numbers. Write a function named isDaphne that returns 1 if its array
argument is a Daphne array. Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function prototype is
int isDaphne (int[ ] a);
If you are programming in C or C++, the function prototype is
int isDaphne (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. An array is defined to be oddvalent if it meets the following two conditions:
a. It contains a value that occurs more than once
b. It contains an odd number
For example {9, 3, 4, 9, 1} is oddvalent because 9 appears more than once and
3 is odd. Other oddvalent arrays are {3, 3, 3, 3} and {8, 8, 8, 4, 4, 7, 2}
The following arrays are not oddvalent:
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5} no value appears more than once.
{2, 2, 2, 4, 4} there are duplicate values but there is no odd value.
Write a function name isOddValent that returns 1 if its array argument is odd
valent, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function prototype is
int isOddValent (int[ ] a);
If you are programming in C or C++, the function prototype is
int isOddValent (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have 2 hours to finish it. Please do your
own work.
1. A normal number is defined to be one that has no odd factors, except for 1
and possibly itself. Write a method named isNormal that returns 1 if its integer
argument is normal, otherwise it returns 0.
int isNormal(int n)
Examples {1, 2, 0, 3} is an array of all possibilities, {3, 2, 1, 0} is an array of all
possibilities, {1, 2, 4, 3} is not an array of all possibilities, (because 0 not included
and 4 is too big), {0, 2, 3} is not an array of all possibilities, (because 1 is not
included), {0} is an array of all possibilities, {} is not an array of all possibilities
(because array is empty).
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isAllPossibilities(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isAllPossibilities(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array.
3. An array is defined to be a Filter array if it meets the following conditions
a. If it contains 9 then it also contains 11.
b. If it contains 7 then it does not contain 13.
So {1, 2, 3, 9, 6, 11} and {3, 4, 6, 7, 14, 16}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 13} and {3, 6, 5, 5,
13, 6, 13} are Filter arrays. The following arrays are not Filter arrays: {9, 6, 18}
(contains 9 but no 11), {4, 7, 13} (contains both 7 and 13)
Write a function named isFilter that returns 1 if its array argument is a Filter array,
otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isFilter(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isFilter(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work.
1. Write a function named isDigitSum that returns 1 if sum of all digits of the first
argument is less than the second argument and 0 otherwise. For example
isDigitSum(32121,10 ) would return 1 because 3+2+1+2+1 = 9 < 10.
More examples:
isDigitSum(32121,9) returns 0, isDigitSum(13, 6) returns 1, isDigitSum(3, 3)
returns 0
The function should return 1 if either argument is negative, so isDigitSum(543,
3) returns 1.
The function signature is
int isDigitSum(int n, int m)
2. A twin prime is a prime number that differs from another prime number by 2. A
Fine array is defined to be an array in which every prime in the array has its twin
in the array. So {4, 7, 9, 6, 5} is a Fine array because 7 and 5 occurs. Note that
{4, 9, 6, 33} is a Fine array since there are no primes. On the other hand, {3, 8,
15} is not a Fine array since 3 appear in the array but its twin 5 is not in the array.
Write a function named isFineArray that returns 1 if its array argument is a Fine
array, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isFineArray (int [ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isFineArray (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array.
You may assume that there exists a function isPrime that returns 1 if it argument
is a prime, otherwise it returns 0. You do not have to write this function.
3. A balanced array is defined to be an array where for every value n in the array,
n also is in the array. For example {2, 3, 2, 3} is a balanced array. So is {2, 2,
2, 2}. But {5, 2, 2} is not because 5 is not in the array.
Write a function named isBalanced that returns 1 if its array argument is a
balanced array. Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBalanced (int [ ] a);
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBalanced(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work. You are not allowed to use any methods or functions provided
by the system unless explicitly stated in the question. In particular, you are not
allowed to convert int to a String or viceversa.
1. An Evens number is an integer whose digits are all even. For example 2426 is
an Evens number but 3224 is not.
Write a function named isEvens that returns 1 if its integer argument is an Evens
number otherwise it returns 0.
The function signature is
int isEvens (int n)
2. An array is defined to be a Magic array if the sum of the primes in the array is
equal to the first element of the array. If there are no primes in the array, the first
element must be 0. So {21, 3, 7, 9, 11 4, 6} is a Magic array because 3, 7, 11 are
the primes in the array and they sum to 21 which is the first element of the array.
{13, 4, 4, 4, 4} is also a Magic array because the sum of the primes is 13 which is
also the first element. Other Magic arrays are {10, 5, 5}, {0, 6, 8, 20} and {3}. {8,
5, 5, 5, 3} is not a Magic array because the sum of the primes is 5+5+3 = 13.
Note that 5 is not a prime because prime numbers are positive.
Write a function named isMagicArray that returns 1 if its integer array argument is
a Magic array. Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isMagicArray (int[ ] a)
If you are writing in C or C++, the function signature is
int isMagicArray (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array.
You may assume that a function named isPrime exists that returns 1 if its int
argument is a prime, otherwise it returns 0. You do not have to write this
function! You are allowed to use it.
3. An array is defined to be complete if the conditions (a), (d) and (e) below hold.
a. The array contains even numbers
b. Let min be the smallest even number in the array.
c. Let max be the largest even number in the array.
d. min does not equal max
e. All numbers between min and max are in the array
For example {5, 6, 2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 11, 8, 7} is complete because
a. The array contains even numbers
b. 2 is the smallest even number
c. 8 is the largest even number
d. 2 does not equal 8
e. the numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 are in the array.
Examples of arrays that are not complete are:
{5, 7, 9, 13} condition (a) does not hold, there are no even numbers.
{2, 2} condition (d) does not hold
{2, 6, 3, 4} condition (e) does not hold (5 is missing)
Write a function named isComplete that returns 1 if its array argument is a
complete array. Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isComplete (int[ ] a)
If you are writing in C or C++, the function signature is
int isComplete (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work. You are not allowed to use any methods or functions provided
by the system unless explicitly stated in the question. In particular, you are not
allowed to convert int to a String or viceversa.
1. A primeproduct is a positive integer that is the product of exactly two primes
greater than 1. For example, 22 is primeproduct since 22 = 2 times 11 and both 2
and 11 are primes greater than 1. Write a function named isPrimeProduct with
an integer parameter that returns 1 if the parameter is a primeproduct, otherwise
it returns 0. Recall that a prime number is a positive integer with no factors other
than 1 and itself.
You may assume that there exists a function named isPrime(int m) that returns 1
if its m is a prime number. You do not need to write isPrime. You are allowed to
use this function.
The function signature
int isPrimeProduct(int n)
2. An array is called balanced if its even numbered elements (a[0], a[2], etc.) are
even and its odd numbered elements (a[1], a[3], etc.) are odd.
Write a function named isBalanced that accepts an array of integers and returns
1 if the array is balanced, otherwise it returns 0.
Examples: {2, 3, 6, 7} is balanced since a[0] and a[2] are even, a[1] and a[3] are
odd. {6, 7, 2, 3, 12} is balanced since a[0], a[2] and a[4] are even, a[1] and a[3]
are odd.
{7, 15, 2, 3} is not balanced since a[0] is odd.
{16, 6, 2, 3} is not balanced since a[1] is even.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBalanced(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBalanced(int a[ ], int len)
where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. An array with an odd number of elements is said to be centered if all elements
(except the middle one) are strictly greater than the value of the middle element.
Note that only arrays with an odd number of elements have a middle element.
Write a function named isCentered that accepts an integer array and returns 1 if
it is a centered array, otherwise it returns 0.
Examples: {5, 3, 3, 4, 5} is not a centered array (the middle element 3 is not
strictly less than all other elements), {3, 2, 1, 4, 5} is centered (the middle
element 1 is strictly less than all other elements), {3, 2, 1, 4, 1} is not centered
(the middle element 1 is not strictly less than all other elements), {3, 2, 1, 1, 4, 6}
is not centered (no middle element since array has even number of elements), {}
is not centered (no middle element), {1} is centered (satisfies the condition
vacuously).
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isCentered(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isCentered(int a[ ], int len)
where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work. You are not allowed to use any methods or functions provided
by the system unless explicitly stated in the question. In particular, you are not
allowed to convert int to a String or viceversa.
1. Given a positive integer k, another positive integer n is said to have ksmall
factors if n can be written as a product u*v where u and v are both less than k.
For instance, 20 has 10small factors since both 4 and 5 are less than 10 and 4*5
= 20. (For the same reason, it is also true to say that 20 has 6small factors, 7
small factors, 8small factors, etc). However, 22 does not have 10small factors
since the only way to factor 22 is as 22 = 2 * 11, and 11 is not less than 10.
Write a function hasKSmallFactors with signatuare
boolean hasKSmallFactors(int k, int n)
which returns true if n has ksmall factors. The function should return false if
either k or n is not positive.
Examples:
hasKSmallFactors(7, 30) is true (since 5*6 = 30 and 5 < 7, 6 < 7).
hasKSmallFactors(6, 14) is false (since the only way to factor 14 is 2*7 = 14 and
7 not less than 6)
hasKSmallFactors(6, 30) is false (since 5*6 = 30, 6 not less than 6; 3 * 10 = 30,
10 not less than 6; 2 * 15 = 30, 15 not less than 6)
2. Write a function fill with signature
int[ ] fill(int[ ] arr, int k, int n)
which does the following: It returns an integer array arr2 of length n whose first k
elements are the same as the first k elements of arr, and whose remaining
elements consist of repeating blocks of the first k elements. You can assume
array arr has at least k elements. The function should return null if either k or n is
not positive.
Examples:
fill({1,2,3,5, 9, 12,2,1}, 3, 10) returns {1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3,1}.
fill({4, 2, 3, 12}, 1, 5) returns {4, 4, 4, 4, 4}.
fill({2, 6, 9, 0, 3}, 0, 4) returns null.
3. An array is said to be hollow if it contains 3 or more zeroes in the middle that
are preceded and followed by the same number of nonzero elements. Write a
function named isHollow that accepts an integer array and returns 1 if it is a
hollow array, otherwise it returns 0
Examples: isHollow({1,2,4,0,0,0,3,4,5}) returns 1. isHollow ({1,2,0,0,0,3,4,5})
returns 0. isHollow ({1,2,4,9, 0,0,0,3,4, 5}) returns 0. isHollow ({1,2, 0,0, 3,4})
returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isHollow(int[ ] a).
If you are C or C++ programmer
int isHollow(int[ ] a, int len)
where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have 2 hours to finish it. Please do
your own work. All you need to write is three functions. Please do not use
any string functions. No sorting allowed. No additional arrays allowed. Try
to write a simple, elegant and correct code.
1. Write a function named minDistance that returns the smallest distance
between two factors of a number. For example, consider 13013 = 1*7*11*13. Its
factors are 1, 7, 11, 13 and 13013. minDistance(13013) would return 2 because
the smallest distance between any two factors is 2 (13 11 = 2). As another
example, minDistance (8) would return 1 because the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, 8
and the smallest distance between any two factors is 1 (2 – 1 = 1).
The function signature is
int minDistance(int n)
2. A wave array is defined to an array which does not contain two even numbers
or two odd numbers in adjacent locations. So {7, 2, 9, 10, 5}, {4, 11, 12, 1, 6}, {1,
0, 5} and {2} are all wave arrays. But {2, 6, 3, 4} is not a wave array because the
even numbers 2 and 6 are adjacent to each other.
Write a function named isWave that returns 1 if its array argument is a Wave
array, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isWave (int [ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isWave (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. An array is defined to be a Bean array if it meets the following conditions
a. If it contains a 9 then it also contains a 13.
b. If it contains a 7 then it does not contain a 16.
So {1, 2, 3, 9, 6, 13} and {3, 4, 6, 7, 13, 15}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12} and {3, 6, 9,
5, 7, 13, 6, 17} are Bean arrays. The following arrays are not Bean arrays:
a. { 9, 6, 18} (contains a 9 but no 13)
b. {4, 7, 16} (contains both a 7 and a 16)
Write a function named isBean that returns 1 if its array argument is a Bean
array, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBean (int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBean (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work. You are not allowed to use any methods or functions provided
by the system unless explicitly stated in the question. In particular, you are not
allowed to convert int to a String or viceversa.
1. Write a function named countDigit that returns the number of times that a
given digit appears in a positive number. For example countDigit(32121, 1) would
return 2 because there are two 1s in 32121. Other examples:
countDigit(33331, 3) returns 4
countDigit(33331, 6) returns 0
countDigit(3, 3) returns 1
The function should return 1 if either argument is negative, so
countDigit(543, 3) returns 1.
The function signature is
int countDigit(int n, int digit)
Hint: Use modulo base 10 and integer arithmetic to isolate the digits of the
number.
2. A Bunker array is defined to be an array in which at least one odd number is
immediately followed by a prime number. So {4, 9, 6, 7, 3} is a Bunker array
because the odd number 7 is immediately followed by the prime number 3. But
{4, 9, 6, 15, 21} is not a Bunker array because none of the odd numbers are
immediately followed by a prime number.
Write a function named isBunkerArray that returns 1 if its array argument is a
Bunker array, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBunkerArray(int [ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBunkerArray(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array.
You may assume that there exists a function isPrime that returns 1 if it argument
is a prime, otherwise it returns 0. You do not have to write this function.
3. A Meera array is defined to be an array such that for all values n in the array,
the value 2*n is not in the array. So {3, 5, 2} is a Meera array because 3*2, 5*2
and 2*2 are not in the array. But {8, 3, 4} is not a Meera array because for n=4,
2*n=8 is in the array.
Write a function named isMeera that returns 1 if its array argument is a Meera
array. Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isMeera(int [ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isMeera(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work. You are not allowed to use any methods or functions provided
by the system unless explicitly stated in the question. In particular, you are not
allowed to convert int to a String or viceversa.
1. A Meera number is a number such that the number of nontrivial factors is a
factor of the number. For example, 6 is a Meera number because 6 has two
nontrivial factors : 2 and 3. (A nontrivial factor is a factor other than 1 and the
number). Thus 6 has two nontrivial factors. Now, 2 is a factor of 6. Thus the
number of nontrivial factors is a factor of 6. Hence 6 is a Meera number. Another
Meera number is 30 because 30 has 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 as nontrivial factors. Thus
30 has 6 nontrivial factors. Note that 6 is a factor of 30. So 30 is a Meera
Number. However 21 is not a Meera number. The nontrivial factors of 21 are 3
and 7. Thus the number of nontrivial factors is 2. Note that 2 is not a factor of 21.
Therefore, 21 is not a Meera number.
Write a function named isMeera that returns 1 if its integer argument is a Meera
number, otherwise it returns 0.
The signature of the function is
int isMeera(int n)
2. A Bunker array is an array that contains the value 1 if and only if it contains a
prime number. The array {7, 6, 10, 1} is a Bunker array because it contains a
prime number (7) and also contains a 1. The array {7, 6, 10} is not a Bunker
array because it contains a prime number (7) but does not contain a 1. The array
{6, 10, 1} is not a Bunker array because it contains a 1 but does not contain a
prime number.
It is okay if a Bunker array contains more than one value 1 and more than one
prime, so the array {3, 7, 1, 8, 1} is a Bunker array (3 and 7 are the primes).
Write a function named isBunker that returns 1 if its array argument is a Bunker
array and returns 0 otherwise.
You may assume the existence of a function named isPrime that returns 1 if its
argument is a prime and returns 0 otherwise. You do not have to write isPrime,
you can just call it.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBunker(int [ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBunker(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. A Nice array is defined to be an array where for every value n in the array,
there is also an element n1 or n+1 in the array.
For example, {2, 10, 9, 3} is a Nice array because
2 = 31
10 = 9+1
3 = 2 + 1
9 = 10 1
Other Nice arrays include {2, 2, 3, 3, 3}, {1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1} and {0, 1, 1}.
The array {3, 4, 5, 7} is not a Nice array because of the value 7 which requires
that the array contains either the value 6 (71) or 8 (7+1) but neither of these
values are in the array.
Write a function named isNice that returns 1 if its array argument is a Nice array.
Otherwise it returns a 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isNice(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isNice(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have two hours to finish it. Please
do your own work. All you need to write is two functions. Please do not use
any string methods. No sorting allowed. No additional data structures
including arrays allowed. Try to write a simple, elegant and correct code.
1. An integer is defined to be “continuous factored” if it can be expressed as the
product of two or more continuous integers greater than 1.
Examples of “continuous factored” integers are:
6 = 2 * 3.
60 = 3 * 4 * 5
120 = 4 * 5 * 6
90 = 9*10
Examples of integers that are NOT “continuous factored” are: 99 = 9*11,
121=11*11, 2=2, 13=13
Write a function named isContinuousFactored(int n) that returns 1 if n is
continuous factored and 0 otherwise.
2. Consider the prime number 11. Note that 13 is also a prime and 13 – 11 = 2.
So, 11 and 13 are known as twin primes. Similarly, 29 and 31 are twin primes. So
is 71 and 73. However, there are many primes for which there is no twin.
Examples are 23, 67. A twin array is defined to an array which every prime that
has a twin appear with a twin. Some examples are
{3, 5, 8, 10, 27}, // 3 and 5 are twins and both are present
{11, 9, 12, 13, 23}, // 11 and 13 are twins and both are present, 23 has no
twin
{5, 3, 14, 7, 18, 67}. // 3 and 5 are twins, 5 and 7 are twins, 67 has no twin
The following are NOT twin arrays:
{13, 14, 15, 3, 5} // 13 has a twin prime and it is missing in the array
{1, 17, 8, 25, 67} // 17 has a twin prime and it is missing in the array
Write a function named isTwin(int[ ] arr) that returns 1 if its array argument is a
Twin array, otherwise it returns 0.
3. Let us define two arrays as “set equal” if every element in one is also in the
other and viceversa. For example, any two of the following are equal to one
another: {1, 9, 12}, {12, 1, 9}, {9, 1, 12, 1}, {1, 9, 12, 9, 12, 1, 9}. Note that {1, 7,
8} is not set equal to {1, 7, 1} or {1, 7, 6}.
Write a function named isSetEqual(int[ ] a, int[ ] b) that returns 1 if its array
arguments are set equal, otherwise it returns 0.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have two hours to finish it. Please
do your own work. All you need to write is two functions. Please do not use
any string methods. No sorting allowed. No additional data structures
including arrays allowed. Try to write a simple, elegant and correct code.
1. An integer is defined to be a Smart number if it is an element in the infinite
sequence 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16 … Note that 21=1, 42=2, 74=3, 117=4, 1611=5 so
for k>1, the kth element of the sequence is equal to the k1th element + k1. For
example, for k=6, 16 is the kth element and is equal to 11 (the k1th element) + 5
( k1).
Write function named isSmart that returns 1 if its argument is a Smart number,
otherwise it returns 0. So isSmart(11) returns 1, isSmart(22) returns 1 and
isSmart(8) returns 0 .
The function signature is
int isSmart(int n)
2. An array is defined to be a Nice array if the sum of the primes in the array is
equal to the first element of the array. If there are no primes in the array, the first
element must be 0. So {21, 3, 7, 9, 11 4, 6} is a Nice array because 3, 7, 11 are
the primes in the array and they sum to 21 which is the first element of the array.
{13, 4, 4,4, 4} is also a Nice array because the sum of the primes is 13 which is
also the first element. Other Nice arrays are {10, 5, 5}, {0, 6, 8, 20} and {3}. {8, 5,
5, 5, 3} is not a Nice array because the sum of the primes is 5+5+3 = 13 but the
first element of the array is 8. Note that 5 is not a prime because prime numbers
are positive.
Write a function named isNiceArray that returns 1 if its integer array argument is
a Nice array. Otherwise it returns 0.
The function signature is
int isNiceArray (int[ ] a)
You may assume that a function named isPrime exists that returns 1 if its int
argument is a prime, otherwise it returns 0. You do **not** have to write this
function! You just have to call it.
3. An array is defined to be complete if all its elements are greater than 0 and all
even numbers that are less than the maximum even number are in the array.
For example {2, 3, 2, 4, 11, 6, 10, 9, 8} is complete because
a. all its elements are greater than 0
b. the maximum even integer is 10
c. all even numbers that are less than 10 (2, 4, 6, 8) are in the array.
But {2, 3, 3, 6} is not complete because the even number 4 is missing. {2, 3, 4,
3, 6} is not complete because it contains a negative number.
Write a function named isComplete that returns 1 if its array argument is a
complete array. Otherwise it returns 0.
The function signature is
int isComplete (int[ ] a)
There are 3 questions on this test. You have two hours to finish it. Please do your own
work. All you need to write is three functions. Please do not use any string methods. No
sorting allowed. No additional data structures including arrays allowed. Try to write a
simple, elegant and correct code.
Two integers are defined to be factor equal, if they have the same number of factors. For
example, integers 10 and 33 are factor equal because, 10 has four factors: 1, 2, 5, 10 and 33 also
has four factors: 1, 3, 11, 33. On the other hand, 9 and 10 are not factor equal since 9 has only
three factors: 1, 3, 9 and 10 has four factors: 1, 2, 5, 10.
Write a function named factorEqual(int n, int m) that returns 1 if n and m are factor equal and 0
otherwise.
The signature of the function is
int factorEqual(int n, int m)
2. Define a Meera array to be an array a if it satisfies two conditions:
(a) a[i] is less than i for i = 0 to a.length1.
(b) sum of all elements of a is 0.
For example, {4, 0, 1, 0, 2, 1} is a Meera array because
4 = a[0] < 0
0 = a[1] < 1
1 = a[2] < 2
0 = a[3] < 3
2 = a[4] < 4
1 = a[5] < 5
and 4 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 0
{8, 0, 0, 8, 0} is not a Meera array because a[3] is 8 which is not less than 3. Thus condition (a)
fails. {8, 0, 0, 2, 0} is not a Meera array because 8 + 2 = 6 not equal to zero. Thus condition (b)
fails.
Write a function named isMeera that returns 1 if its array argument is a Meera array. Otherwise it
returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isMeera (int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isMeera (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. Define a Triple array to be an array where every value occurs exactly three times.
For example, {3, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 2} is a Triple array.
The following arrays are not Triple arrays
{2, 5, 2, 5, 5, 2, 5} (5 occurs four times instead of three times)
{3, 1, 1, 1} (3 occurs once instead of three times)
Write a function named isTriple that returns 1 if its array argument is a Triple array. Otherwise it
returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isTriple (int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isTriple (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have two hours to finish it. Please do your own
work. All you need to write is three functions. Please do not use any string methods. No
sorting allowed. No additional data structures including arrays allowed. Try to write a
simple, elegant and correct code.
1. A Fibonacci number is a number in the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21,…. Note that first two
Fibonacci numbers are 1 and any Fibonacci number other than the first two is the sum of the
previous two Fibonacci numbers. For example, 2 = 1 + 1, 3 = 2 + 1, 5 = 3 + 2 and so on.
Write a function named isFibonacci that returns 1 if its integer argument is a Fibonacci number,
otherwise it returns 0.
The signature of the function is
int isFibonacci (int n)
2. A Meera array is an array that contains the value 0 if and only if it contains a prime number.
The array {7, 6, 0, 10, 1} is a Meera array because it contains a prime number (7) and also
contains a 0. The array {6, 10, 1} is a Meera array because it contains no prime number and also
contains no 0.
The array {7, 6, 10} is not a Meera array because it contains a prime number (7) but does not
contain a 0. The array {6, 10, 0} is not a Meera array because it contains a 0 but does not contain
a prime number.
It is okay if a Meera array contains more than one value 0 and more than one prime, so the array
{3, 7, 0, 8, 0, 5} is a Meera array (3, 5 and 7 are the primes and there are two zeros.).
Write a function named isMeera that returns 1 if its array argument is a Meera array and returns 0
otherwise.
You may assume the existence of a function named isPrime that returns 1 if its argument is a
prime and returns 0 otherwise. You do not have to write isPrime, you can just call it.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isMeera(int [ ] a)
If you are are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isMeera(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. A Bean array is defined to be an array where for every value n in the array, there is also an
element n1 or n+1 in the array.
For example, {2, 10, 9, 3} is a Bean array because
2 = 31
10 = 9+1
3 = 2 + 1
9 = 10 1
Other Bean arrays include {2, 2, 3, 3, 3}, {1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1} and {0, 1, 1}.
The array {3, 4, 5, 7} is not a Bean array because of the value 7 which requires that the array
contains either the value 6 (71) or 8 (7+1) but neither of these values are in the array.
Write a function named isBean that returns 1 if its array argument is a Bean array. Otherwise it
returns a 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBean(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBean(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have two hours to finish it. Please do your own
work. All you need to write is three functions. Please do not write main method. If you
write, you are just wasting your time! Please do not use any string methods. No sorting
allowed. No additional data structures including arrays allowed. Try to write a simple,
elegant and correct code.
1. A fancy number is a number in the sequence 1, 1, 5, 17, 61, … .Note that first two fancy
numbers are 1 and any fancy number other than the first two is sum of the three times previous
one and two times the one before that. See below:
1,
1,
3*1 +2*1 = 5
3*5 +2*1 = 17
3*17 + 2*5 = 61
Write a function named isFancy that returns 1 if its integer argument is a Fancy number,
otherwise it returns 0.
The signature of the function is
int isFancy(int n)
2. A Meera array is an array that contains the value 1 if and only if it contains 9. The array {7, 9,
0, 10, 1} is a Meera array because it contains 1 and 9. The array {6, 10, 8} is a Meera array
because it contains no 1 and also contains no 9.
The array {7, 6, 1} is not a Meera array because it contains 1 but does not contain a 9. The array
{9, 10, 0} is not a Meera array because it contains a 9 but does not contain 1.
It is okay if a Meera array contains more than one value 1 and more than one 9, so the array {1,
1, 0, 8, 0, 9, 9, 1} is a Meera array.
Write a function named isMeera that returns 1 if its array argument is a Meera array and returns 0
otherwise.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isMeera(int [ ] a)
If you are are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isMeera(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. A Bean array is defined to be an integer array where for every value n in the array, there is
also an element 2n, 2n+1 or n/2 in the array.
For example, {4, 9, 8} is a Bean array because
For 4, 8 is present; for 9, 4 is present; for 8, 4 is present.
Other Bean arrays include {2, 2, 5, 11, 23}, {7, 7, 3, 6} and {0}.
The array {3, 8, 4} is not a Bean array because of the value 3 which requires that the array
contains either the value 6, 7 or 1 and none of these values are in the array.
Write a function named isBean that returns 1 if its array argument is a Bean array. Otherwise it
returns a 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBean(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBean(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
There are 3 questions on this test. You have two hours to finish it. Please
do your own work. All you need to write is three functions. Please do not
write main method. If you write, you are just wasting your time! Please do
not use any string methods. No sorting allowed. No additional data
structures including arrays allowed. Try to write a simple, elegant and
correct code.
1. An integer is defined to be a Bunker number if it is an element in the infinite
sequence 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, … Note that 21=1, 42=2, 74=3, 117=4, 16
11=5 so for k>1, the kth element of the sequence is equal to the k1th element +
k1. E.G., for k=6, 16 is the kth element and is equal to 11 (the k1th element) + 5
(k1).
Write function named isBunker that returns 1 if its argument is a Bunker number,
otherwise it returns 0. So isBunker(11) returns 1, isBunker(22) returns 1 and
isBunker(8) returns 0 .
The function signature is
int isBunker (int n)
2. Define a Dual array to be an array where every value occurs exactly twice.
For example, {1, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2} is a dual array.
The following arrays are not Dual arrays
{2, 5, 2, 5, 5} (5 occurs three times instead of two times)
{3, 1, 1, 2, 2} (3 occurs once instead of two times)
Write a function named isDual that returns 1 if its array argument is a Dual array.
Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isDual (int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isDual (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. An array is defined to be a Filter array if it meets the following conditions
a. If it contains 9 then it also contains 11.
b. If it contains 7 then it does not contain 13.
So {1, 2, 3, 9, 6, 11} and {3, 4, 6, 7, 14, 16}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 13} and {3, 6, 5, 5,
13, 6, 13} are Filter arrays. The following arrays are not Filter arrays: {9, 6, 18}
(contains 9 but no 11), {4, 7, 13} (contains both 7 and 13)
Write a function named isFilter that returns 1 if its array argument is a Filter
array, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isFilter(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isFilter(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.

1. Write a function named factorTwoCount that returns the number of times that
2 divides the argument.
For example, factorTwoCount(48) returns 4 because
48/2 = 24
24/2 = 12
12/2 = 6
6/2 = 3
2 does not divide 3 evenly.
Another example: factorTwoCount(27) returns 0 because 2 does not divide 27.
The function signature is
int factorTwoCount(int n);
2. A Daphne array is defined to be an array that contains at least one odd
number and begins and ends with the same number of even numbers.
So {4, 8, 6, 3, 2, 9, 8,11, 8, 13, 12, 12, 6} is a Daphne array because it begins
with three even numbers and ends with three even numbers and it contains at
least one odd number
The array {2, 4, 6, 8, 6} is not a Daphne array because it does not contain an odd
number.
The array {2, 8, 7, 10, 4, 6} is not a Daphne array because it begins with two
even numbers but ends with three even numbers.
Write a function named isDaphne that returns 1 if its array argument is a Daphne
array. Otherwise, it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isDaphne (int[ ] a)

int isDaphne (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. Write a function called goodSpread that returns 1 if no value in its array
argument occurs more than 3 times in the array.
For example, goodSpread(new int[] {2, 1, 2, 5, 2, 1, 5, 9} returns 1 because no
value occurs more than three times.
But goodSpread(new int[ ] {3, 1, 3 ,1, 3, 5, 5, 3} ) returns 0 because the value 3
occurs four times.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int goodSpread (int[ ] a)
If you are writing in C or C++, the function signature is
int goodSpread (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the
array.

numbers and ends with three even numbers and it contains at least one odd number
The array {2, 4, 6, 8, 6} is not a Daphne array because it does not contain an odd number.
The array {2, 8, 7, 10, 4, 6} is not a Daphne array because it begins with two even numbers but

more than 3 times in the array.
For example, goodSpread(new int[] {2, 1, 2, 5, 2, 1, 5, 9} returns 1 because no value occurs more
than three times.
But goodSpread(new int[ ] {3, 1, 3 ,1, 3, 5, 5, 3} ) returns 0 because the value 3 occurs four times.

int goodSpread (int[ ] a)
If you are writing in C or C++, the function signature is

There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please
do your own work.
1. Write a function named sumDigits that sums the digits of its integer argument.
For example sumDigits(3114) returns 9, sumDigits(6543) returns 18 and
sumDigits(0) returns 0.
The signature of the function is
int sumDigits (int n)
2. Define a Meera array to be an array where a[n] is less than n for n = 0 to
a.length1.
For example, {4, 0, 1, 0, 2} is a Meera array because
a[0] < 0
a[1] < 1
a[2] < 2
a[3] < 3
a[4] < 4
{1, 0, 0, 8, 0} is not a Meera array because a[3] is 8 which is not less than 3.
Write a function named isMeera that returns 1 if its array argument is a Meera
array. Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isMeera (int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isMeera (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.

int isDual (int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isDual (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
Hint: you need a nested loop.
There are three questions on this test. You have two hours to complete it. Please do your own
work.
1. An integer is defined to be a Guthrie number if it is an element in the infinite sequence 1, 2, 4,
7, 11, 16 … Note that 21=1, 42=2, 74=3, 117=4, 1611=5 so for k>1, the kth element of the
sequence is equal to the k1th element + k1. E.G., for k=6, 16 is the kth element and is equal to
11 (the k1th element) + k1.
Write function named isGuthrie that returns 1 if its argument is a Guthrie number, otherwise it
returns 0. So isGuthrie(11) returns 1, is Guthrie(22) returns 1 and isGuthrie(8) returns 0 .
The function signature is
int isGuthrie (int n)
2. An array is defined to be a Bean array if the sum of the primes in the array is equal to the first
element of the array. If there are no primes in the array, the first element must be 0. So {21, 3, 7,
9, 11 4, 6} is a Bean array because 3, 7, 11 are the primes in the array and they sum to 21 which
is the first element of the array. {13, 4, 4,4, 4} is also a Bean array because the sum of the primes
is 13 which is also the first element. Other Bean arrays are {10, 5, 5}, {0, 6, 8, 20} and {3}. {8, 5,
5, 5, 3} is not a Bean array because the sum of the primes is 5+5+3 = 13 but the first element of
the array is 8. Note that 5 is not a prime because prime numbers are positive.
Write a function named isBeanArray that returns 1 if its integer array argument is a Bean array.
Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isBeanArray (int[ ] a)
If you are writing in C or C++, the function signature is
int isBeanArray (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
You may assume that a function named isPrime exists that returns 1 if its int argument is a prime,
otherwise it returns 0. You do **not** have to write this function! You just have to call it.
3. An array is defined to be complete if all its elements are greater than 0 and all even numbers
that are less than the maximum even number are in the array.
For example {2, 3, 2, 4, 11, 6, 10, 9, 8} is complete because
a. all its elements are greater than 0
b. the maximum even integer is 10
c. all even numbers that are less than 10 (2, 4, 6, 8) are in the array.
But {2, 3, 3, 6} is not complete because the even number 4 is missing. {2, 3, 4, 3, 6} is not
complete because it contains a negative number.
Write a function named isComplete that returns 1 if its array argument is a complete array.
Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are writing in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isComplete (int[ ] a)
If you are writing in C or C++, the function signature is
int isComplete (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.

sequence 1, 2, 4, 7, 11, 16, 22, … Note that 21=1, 42=2, 74=3, 117=4, 16
11=5 so for k>1, the kth element of the sequence is equal to the k1th element +
k1. E.G., for k=6, 16 is the kth element and is equal to 11 (the k1th element) + 5
(k1).
Write function named isBunker that returns 1 if its argument is a Bunker number,
otherwise it returns 0. So isBunker(11) returns 1, isBunker(22) returns 1 and
isBunker(8) returns 0 .
The function signature is
int isBunker (int n)
2. Define a Dual array to be an array where every value occurs exactly twice.
For example, {1, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2} is a dual array.

{2, 5, 2, 5, 5} (5 occurs three times instead of two times)
{3, 1, 1, 2, 2} (3 occurs once instead of two times)
Write a function named isDual that returns 1 if its array argument is a Dual array.
Otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is

int isDual (int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
3. An array is defined to be a Filter array if it meets the following conditions
a. If it contains 9 then it also contains 11.
b. If it contains 7 then it does not contain 13.
So {1, 2, 3, 9, 6, 11} and {3, 4, 6, 7, 14, 16}, {1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 13} and {3, 6, 5, 5,
13, 6, 13} are Filter arrays. The following arrays are not Filter arrays: {9, 6, 18}
(contains 9 but no 11), {4, 7, 13} (contains both 7 and 13)
Write a function named isFilter that returns 1 if its array argument is a Filter
array, otherwise it returns 0.
If you are programming in Java or C#, the function signature is
int isFilter(int[ ] a)
If you are programming in C or C++, the function signature is
int isFilter(int a[ ], int len) where len is the number of elements in the array.
