Desired output : fourteen hundred thousand.



Input :235126

output : hundred and two hundred and thirtyfive thousand hundred and one

hundred and twenty six(wrong)

1) Write a program for the problem: the array of inetegers indicating the marks of the students is given, U have to calculate the percentile of the students aaccording to this rule: the percentile of a student is the %of no of student having marks less then him. For eg:

suppose

Student Marks

A 12

B 60

C 80

D 71

E 30

F 45


percentile of C = 5/5 *100 = 100 (out of 5 students 5

are having marks less then him)

percentile of B = 3/5*100 = 60% (out of 5, 3 have

markses less then him)

percentile of A = 0/5*100 = 0%.


2) The code was given for a problem and u have to

identitfy the logical error in it. That was simple.

The code was to merge the Danagrams of 2 words. The

danagram of a word is the letters of word arranfed in

sequential order. eg danagram of abhinav is aabhinv.

merging of danamagram is to merge the danagrams of 2

or more words such that the highest no of occurance

are coming for each alphabet.eg

merging of aabhinv and abbhhixz is aabbhhinvxz.

Technical interview:



discussion on the written paper. how did u solved the

problem? expain him about that. small discussion on yr

project for a while. simple techinal questions related
