1. You are given a positive integer n. The task is to calculate the sum of its
digits, where the most significant digit (leftmost) is assigned a positive
sign, and each subsequent digit has an opposite sign compared to its
adjacent digits.

Rules:
 The most significant digit is positive.
 The sign alternates between positive and negative for each
consecutive digit.

Constraints:

 1≤n≤109 (i.e., n can have up to 9 digits).

 The number may contain 1 to 9 digits.
 Must handle numbers with alternating signs, including zeros.

Input Format:
 A single positive integer n.

Output Format:
 A single integer representing the signed sum of the digits.

2. Alice and Bob take turns playing a game, with Alice starting first. Initially,
there is a number n on the chalkboard. On each player's turn, that player
makes a move consisting of:
 Choosing any x with 0 < x < n and n % x == 0.
 Replacing the number n on the chalkboard with n - x.
 Also, if a player cannot make a move, they lose the game.
Return true if and only if Alice wins the game, assuming both players play
optimally.

it loops endlessly in a cycle which does not include 1.
 Those numbers for which this process ends in 1 are happy.

number of handshakes. For example, if there are n number of people in a
meeting and find the possible number of handshakes made by the person
who entered the room after all were settled.

14.Micheal has created his own encryption technique to encrypt a number. He

makes use of the logic behind factorial. In a factorial, we multiply the
number by its previous number and so on but if we want to encrypt a
number we don’t multiply in every step like in the case of factorial but
multiply, divide, add and subtract and repeat in the same order. So your
task is to find the encrypted form of a number using the Micheal’s
encryption technique and you were being provided with the number.

circle and are numbered from 1 to n in clockwise order. More formally,
moving clockwise from the ith friend brings you to the (i+1)th friend for 1

23.You have 'N' empty pens whose refills have been used up. You have 'R'
rupees in your pocket. You have two choices of operations that you can
perform each time.
 Recycle 1 empty pen and get 'K' rupees as a reward.

number. Help her to do this, by writing a program.

Constraints:

 The input can be any integer, positive or negative.

 If the input is zero, the output should be "No Factors".
 For negative inputs, consider the absolute value of the number to find factors.
 The factors should be listed in ascending order.

38.Kochouseph Chittilappilly went to Dhruv Zplanet, a gaming space, with his

friends and played a game called “Guess the Word”.

Rules of games are –

Computer displays some strings on the screen and the player should pick
one string/word if this word matches with the random word that the
computer picks then the player is declared as Winner.
Kochouseph Chittilappilly’s friends played the game and no one won the
game. This is Kochouseph Chittilappilly’s turn to play and he decided to
must win the game. What he observed from his friend’s game is that the
computer is picking up the string whose length is odd and also that should
be maximum. Due to system failure computers sometimes cannot generate
odd-length words. In such cases, you will lose the game anyways and it
displays “better luck next time”. He needs your help. Check the below
cases for a better understanding.

Constraints:

 The number of strings should be between 1 and 100.

  Each string should be a valid word containing only alphabetic characters.
 The length of each word should be between 1 and 100 characters.
 If no odd-length word is found, the output should be "Better luck next time."

39.Ratan is a crazy rich person. And he is blessed with luck, so he always made
the best profit possible with the shares he bought. That means he bought a
share at a low price and sold it at a high price to maximize his profit. Now
you are an income tax officer and you need to calculate the profit he made
with the given values of stock prices each day. You have to calculate only
the maximum profit Ratan earned.

Note that: Ratan never goes into loss.

Input Format:

 First line with an integer n, denoting the number of days with the
value of the stock.
 Next n days, telling the price of the stock on that very day.

Output Format:

 Maximum profit done by Ratan in a single line.

Constraints:

 The number of days (n) will not exceed 108.

 The stock prices will be non-negative integers.

40.Stephan is a vampire. And he is fighting with his brother Damon. Vampires

get energy from human blood, so they need to feed on human blood, killing
human beings. Stephan is also less inhuman, so he will like to take less life
in his hand. Now all the people’s blood has some power, which increases
the powers of the Vampire. Stephan just needs to be more powerful than
Damon, killing the least human possible. Tell the total power Stephan will
have after drinking the blood before the battle.

Note: Damon is a beast, so no human being will be left after Damon drinks
everyone’s blood. But Stephan always comes early to the town.

Input Format:

 First line with the number of people in the town, n.

 Second line with a string with n characters, denoting the one-digit
power in every blood.

Output Format:

 Total minimum power Stephan will gather before the battle.

Constraints:

 The number of people n can be up to 10^4 (i.e., 10,000).

 Each blood power is a single-digit number (0-9).

41.There are some groups of devils and they split into people to kill them.
Devils make People them left as their group and at last the group with
maximum length will be killed. Two types of devils are there namely “@”
and “$”. People are represented as a string “P”

Input Format:
  First line with the string for input.

Output Format:
 Number of groups that can be formed.

Constraints:

 Input Length: 2 ≤ Length of the string ≤ 10^9

 Characters: The string consists of "P", "@", and "$" only.

42.Rohit loves to play with sequences so he has given you a sequence to solve.
To prove to him that you are a good coder, you accept the challenge. Find
the sum of the sequence. Given three integers i, j, k. Find i + (i+1) + (i+2)
+ (i+3) … j + (j-1) + (j-2) + (j-3) …….. k

Constraints:

 -10^8 <= i, j, k <= 10^8

 i, k <= j

 43.An automobile company manufactures both a two-wheeler (TW) and a four-
wheeler (FW). A company manager wants to make the production of both
types of vehicles according to the given data below:

 1st data, Total number of vehicles (two-wheeler + four-wheeler) =v

 2nd data, Total number of wheels = W

The task is to find how many two-wheelers as well as four-wheelers need to

be manufactured as per the given data.

The input format for testing:

The candidate has to write the code to accept two positive numbers separated by
a new line.

 First Input line – Accept value of V.

 Second Input line- Accept value for W.

The output format for testing:

 Written program code should generate two outputs, each separated by a

single space character.

 Additional messages in the output will result in the failure of the test case.

Constraints:

 2≤W
 W mod 2 = 0 (W should be an even number since wheels are in pairs)
 V < W (The number of vehicles should be less than the number of wheels)
 Valid Input:
If W mod 2 = 0 and V < W, output the number of two-wheelers and four-wheelers
as per the equations.
 Invalid Input:
If W mod 2 != 0 and V ≥ W, print "INVALID INPUT".
