arr[j], arr[j+1] = arr[j+1], arr[j]
print("Sorted array:", arr)
Find factorial using recursion:
def factorial(n):
if n == 0 or n == 1:

return n * factorial(n - 1)
num = int(input("Enter number: "))
print("Factorial:", factorial(num))
Implement Binary Search:
def binary_search(arr, key):
low, high = 0, len(arr)-1
while low <= high:
mid = (low + high) // 2
if arr[mid] == key:
return mid
elif arr[mid] < key:
low = mid + 1
else:
high = mid - 1
return -1
arr = sorted(list(map(int, input("Enter sorted array: ").split())))
key = int(input("Enter element to search: "))
index = binary_search(arr, key)
print("Found at index" if index != -1 else "Not found")
Sum of all even numbers in a list:
lst = list(map(int, input("Enter numbers: ").split()))
even_sum = sum(x for x in lst if x % 2 == 0)
print("Sum of even numbers:", even_sum)
Calculate average of n numbers:
n = int(input("Enter count: "))
total = sum(int(input("Enter number: ")) for _ in range(n))
print("Average:", total / n)
Advanced / Logic-Based Coding Practice
Find first non-repeating character in a string:
s = input("Enter a string: ")
freq = {}
for ch in s:
freq[ch] = freq.get(ch, 0) + 1
for ch in s:
if freq[ch] == 1:
print("First non-repeating:", ch)
break
else:
print("No non-repeating character")
