Checking if a given year is leap year or not

Explanation:

To check whether a year is leap or not

Step 1: We first divide the year by 4. 

              If it is not divisible by 4 then it is not a leap year.

              If it is divisible by 4 leaving remainder 0 

Step 2: We divide the year by 100

              If it is not divisible by 100 then it is a leap year.

              If it is divisible by 100 leaving remainder 0

Step 3: We divide the year by 400

              If it is not divisible by 400 then it is a leap year.

              If it is divisible by 400 leaving remainder 0 

Then it is a leap year

#include
int leap(int year)
{
    if(year%4 == 0)
    {
        if( year%100 == 0)
        {
            if ( year%400 == 0)
                printf("%d is a leap year.", year);
            else
                printf("%d is not a leap year.", year);
        }
        else
            printf("%d is a leap year.", year );
    }
    else
        printf("%d is not a leap year.", year);
      return 0;
}

int main()
 {
    int yr, a;
    printf("Enter year : "); //enter the year to check
    scanf("%d",&yr);
    a = leap(yr);    
return 0;
}

Prime Numbers with a Twist

Ques. Write a code to check whether no is prime or not. Condition use function check() to find whether entered no is positive
or negative ,if negative then enter the no, And if yes pas no as a parameter to prime() and check whether no is prime or not?

Whether the number is positive or not, if it is negative then print the message “please enter the positive
number”

It is positive then call the function prime and check whether the take positive number is prime or not.

#include
void prime(int n)
{
int c=0;
    for(int i=2;i<n;i++)
    {
        if(n%i==0)
        c = c+1;
    }
    if(c>=1)
        printf("%d is not a prime number",n);
    else
        printf("%d is a prime number",n);
}
void main()
{
int n;
printf("Enter no : "); //enter the number
scanf("%d",&n);
if(n<0)
    {
    printf("Please enter a positive integer");
    }

Number Series with a Twist

Find the 15th term of the series?

0,0,7,6,14,12,21,18, 28

Explanation : In this series the odd term is increment of 7 {0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 – – – – – – }

                        And even term is a increment of 6 {0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 – – – – – – }

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
   int i, n, a=0, b=0;
   printf("enter number : ");
   scanf("%d",&n);
   for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
      if(i%2!=0)
{
           a = a + 7;
}
       else
      {    
           b = b + 6;
}
}
    if(n%2!=0)
{
           printf("%d term of series is %d\t",n,a-7);

Number Series with a Twist

Link to this Question

Consider the following series: 1,1,2,3,4,9,8,27,16,81,32,243,64,729,128,2187…

This series is a mixture of 2 series – all the odd terms in this series form a geometric series and all the even terms form yet
another geometric series. Write a program to find the Nth term in the series.

The value N in a positive integer that should be read from STDIN. The Nth term that is calculated by the program should be
written to STDOUT. Other than value of n th term,no other character / string or message should be written to STDOUT. For
example , if N=16, the 16th term in the series is 2187, so only value 2187 should be printed to STDOUT.

You can assume that N will not exceed 30.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
   int i, n, a=1, b=1;
   printf("enter number : ");
   scanf("%d",&n);
   for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
   {
       if(i%2!=0)
       {
           a = a * 2;
       }
       else
       {    
            b = b * 3;
       }
   }
    if(n%2!=0)
       {
           printf("\n%d term of series is %d\t",n,a/2);
       }
       else
       {    
           printf("\n%d term of series is %d\t",n,b/3);

Number Series with a Twist

Link to this Question – 

Consider the below series :

0,0,2,1,4,2,6,3,8,4,10,5,12,6,14,7,16,8

This series is a mixture of 2 series all the odd terms in this series form even numbers in ascending order and every even
terms is derived from the previous  term using the formula (x/2)

Write a program to find the nth term in this series.

The value n in a positive integer that should be read from STDIN the nth term that is calculated by the program should be
written to STDOUT. Other than the value of the nth term no other characters /strings or message should be written to
STDOUT.

For example if n=10,the 10 th term in the series is to be derived from the 9th term in the series. The 9th term is 8 so the 10th
term is (8/2)=4. Only the value 4 should be printed to STDOUT.

You can assume that the n will not exceed 20,000.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
   int i, n, a=0, b=0;
   printf("enter number : ");
   scanf("%d",&n);
   for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
   {
       if(i%2!=0)
       {
           a = a + 2;
       }
       else
       {
            b = b + 1;
       }
   }
    if(n%2!=0)
       {
           printf("%d",a-2);

String with a Twist

Link to this Questions

1. The program will recieve 3 English words inputs from STDIN

1. These three words will be read one at a time, in three separate line
2. The first word should be changed like all vowels should be replaced by %
3. The second word should be changed like all consonants should be replaced by #
4. The third word should be changed like all char should be converted to upper case
5. Then concatenate the three words and print them

Other than these concatenated word, no other characters/string should or message should be written to STDOUT

For example if you print how are you then output should be h%wa#eYOU.

You can assume that input of each word will not exceed more than 5 chars

#include
#include
int main()
{
  char a[10], b[10], c[10];
  int i,j;
  int x, y, z;

Addition of two numbers a Twist

1. Using a method, pass two variables and find the sum of two numbers.

Test case:

Number 1 – 20

Number 2 – 20.38

Sum = 40.38

There were a total of 4 test cases. Once you compile 3 of them will be shown to you and 1 will be a hidden one. You have to
display error message if numbers are not numeric.

#include<stdio.h>
addition(int x, float y)
{
    float ans;
    ans = (float)x + y;
    printf("Answer : %.2f",ans);
}
int main()
{
   int a;
   float b;
   printf("enter first number : ");
   scanf("%d",&a);
   printf("enter second number : ");
   scanf("%f",&b);
   addition(a, b);
}

TCS Coding Questions with Answers

Let us consider this, if you wanted to write a basic C program then you would’ve written a main function that would’ve looked
f CS C Q
like in compiler for TCS Coding Round Questions – 

int Main(){

// some code

}}

tcs placement coding questions

However in command line arguments we write like this – 

int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

argc – It is known as Argument Count and as clear from the name it stores the Count of number of Arguments.
argv[] – Pointer, contains location of all the values(arguments).
*argv[] – Array of values of all the arguments.
They are parameters/arguments supplied to the program when it is invoked.

Thus, now we have two things

1. Total Count of number of Arguments.

2. All the values/pointer location of arguments stored in an array.

Now, you will need one more thing i.e. atoi();

atoi(); – Converts string into int and atoi(argv[i]); will give the value of argument at ith location in int type format.

Now you can use an int val = atoi(argv[i]); to store the value and then print it with printf(); function.

Quick Facts

argv[0] contains the name, not the value so –

All for loops must start from i=1.

You must use the following condition
 You must use the following condition

if(argc == 1){

// do nothing since, there are no arguments, maybe ask for arguments?

}else{

// code to apply logic and print values in TCS Coding Round Questions.

provided+1 +1 for file.exe

argv[argc] is a NULL pointer.
argv[0] holds the name of the program.
argv[1] points to the first command line argument and argv[n] points last argument.

TCS Programming Test Based FAQ’s

Ques. What is the level of difficulty of the question asked in TCS programming round?

Ans. They are easy but you need to have good grip over basic C/C++ input/output or pattern based programs.

Logics like Recursion, For loops, If loops etc

Ques. What languages can we use in TCS Coding Round Questions?

Ans. In TCS Coding Round Questions currently you can only use C/C++ and Java for coding in TCS based Compiler that is
mostly GCC type of compiler.

Ques. Is PrepInsta enough to prepare for TCS Coding Round and Questions asked in the exams?

Ans. Yes, it is the best resource out there in the internet to prepare for TCS Coding section paper.

Rules for TCS Coding Round Questions Section:

There is only one question for 20 minutes.
• It has 10 attempts(We can compile only 10 times).
• We must start our code from the scratch.
• The coding platform is divided into two, one for writing the code and other for output. We should write the whole
program.
• We can’t use any input functions like scanf(), getch(), getchar().
• The input to be provided should be read as command line arguments.

We must only print exact output.

• Output must not be re-framed by extra words.
• If there is any error, the error will be shown in the output dialog box.
• The errors are clearly mentioned.
• If there are no errors, a message like “compiled successfully” will be printed.
• Along with that they will mention four test cases are ‘passed’ or ‘failed’. They are indicated like private and public test
cases. They have not mentioned what is the test case, which is difficult to understand.

Don’t Compile again and again since compiler takes 25 seconds and each time you compile 25 seconds will become lesser
in the time you have to code in TCS Placement Papers Programming.

Ques. How to clear the TCS coding round?

Ans. First you must learn command line programming from our coding dashboard and then try sample questions given on
the dashboard to know how to clear the tcs coding round  and TCS C Programming Questions and Answers

Ques. What are some other websites where we can find more questions?

Ans. You can find more questions on MyGeekMonkey website here – http://mygeekmonkey.com/tcs-coding-questions.html

SORRY SIR..But This is very illogical that we have to pay first ,then we can have the coding questions and
answers.We are following your site because its too helpful and easy to understand.Here we came to learn. I don’t
want the answers but atleast questions should be available for students,So we can try out by ourselves.It isn’t
possible for every students paying first and get the papers.If it is paid Then there is no need of following your site.if my
words been rude , i am extremely sorry.
