99 Bottles to fall....how many loops to call? This simple challenge was posed as a programming question..... If there are 99 bottles on a wall and one by one they have to be removed how many loops are required? Sample code .... int number = 99 While (number > 1) { number -=1; Console.Writeline(number.ToString() + ‘ bottles are left’); } '  &nbsp The answer : No. Change to (number >=0) This will iterate through all items.

Blindfold chess is supposed to be an art. Consider this problem... What letter is generated by the code below : A / X / J / S ? for (int i=1; i { for (int ii=1; ii { if (((i==ii) || ((i+ii)=6)) { Console.Writeline("*"); } else { Console.Writeline(" "); } } } Can you solve this mentally? To do so consider a 5x5 table like the one below : *       *   *   *       *       *   *   *       * Put an asterisk in the appropriate cells and you will get the pattern above. Nice ain't it?

Found this problem on one of the sites. The idea is to identify a series of numbers as prime based on their ordinal and flag them accordingly based on the following conditions : a) If prime, concatenate its ordinal in the array to the output string. b) If not prime, concatenate zero. Here is the algorithm in C#. string statstring = String.Empty; bool ipr = false; double[] primetest = { 2, 65537, 2999999, 4999999, 98320414332827, 2 ^ 35 - 1, 34567875111, 12345678987654321 }; for (int i = 0; i { ipr = IsPrimeNumber(primetest[i]); if (ipr == true) { statstring += (i + 1).ToString(); } else { statstring += "0"; } } MessageBox.Show(statstring); static bool IsPrimeNumber(double num) { bool bPrime = t...

The idea is to eat at least one of each type of food item without overspending where N is the limit.Also it is required to get the maximum satisfaction at the same time, as indicated by the respective items desirability score and find that score. Appetizer    Desirability score A ($7)    10 B ($9)    11 C ($10)    13 D ($6)    9 E ($4)    3 Main Course: R ($20)    13 S ($25)    23 T ($21)    14 U ($15)    8 V ($18)    12 Desert: I ($3)    5 J ($4)    6 K ($5)    8 L ($7)    9 M ($8)    11 Here is a generic function that does the work in C#. public void GetMaxDesirability(int N) { ArrayList ar = new ArrayList(); double sm = 0; Hashtable ht1 = new Hashtable(); Hashtable ht2 = ...

The problem statement is to choose the maximum of one or more among three candies A, B and C priced respectively at 0.59, 0.79 and 0.95, such that you can procure the value closest to $4.00. The solution is pretty simple if you consider that there are 7 possibilities (mutually exclusive) depending on whether you choose one / two / three types of candies. The solution in C# is listed below. Note : FindMax2 is a simple function (implementation not listed) that can be used to find the maximum value from the ArrayList. //there are 7 combinations ArrayList ar = new ArrayList(); double sm = 0; //Loop 1 for (int i = 7; i >= 1; i--) { sm = i * 0.59; if (sm > 4) { continue; } else { ar.Add(sm); } } //Loop 2 for (int i = 7; i >= 1; i-...
