Four Digit OTP

The document describes generating a 4-digit one-time password (OTP) from a string of numbers. It extracts the digits at odd indices from the string, squares them, and concatenates them to form the OTP. If fewer than 4 digits are generated, the output is -1. Sample inputs and outputs are provided to illustrate extracting 1636 from "3456" and 1925 from "01245", or outputting -1 for the string "1234". Pseudocode explains the algorithm by taking the input, looping through indices, squaring odd digits, concatenating them, and printing the first 4 digits or -1.

Four Digit OTP

1
Problem Statement
You are given a number in the form of string , extract
out digits at odd index then square and merge them .
The first 4 digits will be the required OTP which
shows as output.
If 4 digit OTP is not generated then give Output -1.

2
SAMPLE INPUT 1

3
3 4 5 6 7
String 1 OTP:????

Check for Odd index

Index [4], even = discard = don’t Pick


Index [3] odd , pick and square = 6^2 = 36 = Last Two digit of OTP
Index [2], even = discard = don’t Pick
Index [1] odd , pick and square = 4^2 = 16 = First Two digit of OTP
Index [0], even = discard = don’t Pick
4
Input 3 4 5 6 7
String 1

Output 1636 1636


OTP

☺ That’s the work to do ☺

5
SAMPLE INPUT 2

6
0 1 2 3
String 2 OTP:????

Check for Odd index

Index [3] odd , pick and square = 3^2 = 9 = Next Two digit of OTP
Index [2], even = discard = don’t Pick
Index [1] odd , pick and square = 1^2 = 1 = First digit of OTP

Index [0], even = discard = don’t Pick


7
Input 3 4 5 6 7
String 2

Output -1 ( As no four ----


digits are formed) OTP
Not Generated

8
SAMPLE INPUT 3

9
0 1 2 3 4 5
OTP:????
String 3
Check for Odd index
Index [5] odd , pick and square = 5^2 = 25 = Last two digit of OTP

Index [4], even = discard = don’t Pick


Index [3] odd , pick and square = 3^2 = 9 = Next digit of OTP

Index [2], even = discard = don’t Pick


Index [1] odd , pick and square = 1^2 = 1 = First digit of OTP

Index [0], even = discard = don’t Pick


10
Input 0 1 2 3 4 5
String 3

Output 1925 1925

OTP

11
Algorithm
Step 1: Initialization:
◦ Taking input from user ( string)
Step 2: Processing
◦ Loop run from 0 to length of string -1
◦ Check for odd index
◦ If odd then proceed for square
◦ and concatenation

◦ Converting string to integer and then squaring


◦ Concatenating the values
◦ If length of string is >= 4 ,
◦ Then print the 4 digit number
◦ Else print -1
Step 3: Output
◦ 4 digit number

12
Code
input_string = input()

otp_string = ""

for i in range(len(input_string)) :

if i % 2

num_square = int(input_string[i]) ** 2

otp_string += str(num_square)

if len(otp_string) >= 4 :

print(otp_string[ : 4])

break

else:

rint("-1")
