Description:

In number theory, a perfect number is a positive integer that is equal to the sum of its proper positive divisors, that is, the sum of its positive divisors excluding the number itself (also known as its aliquot sum). Equivalently, a perfect number is a number that is half the sum of all of its positive divisors (including itself).

Example:

The first perfect number is 6, because 1, 2, and 3 are its proper positive divisors, and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6. Equivalently, the number 6 is equal to half the sum of all its positive divisors: ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 6 ) / 2 = 6. The next perfect number is 28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14. This is followed by the perfect numbers 496 and 8128

AP

In mathematics, an arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

For instance, the sequence 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 … is an arithmetic progression with common difference of 2.

GP

In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.

For example, the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, … is a geometric progression with common ratio 3. Similarly 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, … is a geometric sequence with common ratio 1/2.

HP

In mathematics, a harmonic progression (or harmonic sequence) is a progression formed by taking the reciprocals of an arithmetic progression.

In mathematics, the sieve of Eratosthenes, one of a number of prime number sieves, is a simple, ancient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to any given limit. It does so by iteratively marking as composite (i.e., not prime) the multiples of each prime, starting with the multiples of 2.

The sieve of Eratosthenes is one of the most efficient ways to find all of the smaller primes. It is named after Eratosthenes of Cyrene, a Greek mathematician.

For getting the median of input array { 12, 11, 15, 10, 20 }, first sort the array. We get { 10, 11, 12, 15, 20 } after sorting. Median is the middle element of the sorted array which is 12.

Description:

In recreational mathematics, a magic square is an arrangement of distinct numbers (i.e. each number is used once), usually integers, in a square grid, where the numbers in each row, and in each column, and the numbers in the main and secondary diagonals, all add up to the same number

A magic square has the same number of rows as it has columns, and in conventional math notation, “n” stands for the number of rows (and columns) it has.

Thus, a magic square always contains n2 numbers, and its size (the number of rows [and columns] it has) is described as being “of order n”.

Example: if n = 3, the magic square

Inputs:

• Integers N1 and N2

Sample Execution / Output:

Test Case 1: 

Description:

• Enter the length of array from command line.
• Read the type of data to search
• Initialise the array of mentioned type with variables read from user.
• Read the key element to search
• Sort the element in ascending order.
• Return the position of element in the array.

Prerequisites:

• Void pointer concepts
• Function pointer concepts
• Functions and arrays

Objective:

• To understand the concept of
• Function and void pointers

Inputs:

Sample Execution / Output:

Test Case 1: 

Description:

• int my_scanf (const char *format, …);
  • The scanf() function reads input from stdin (the standard input stream).

  Return value

  • Upon successful return, these function return the number of input item successfully matched and assigned

Prerequisites:

• Variadic Functions
• Pointers

Objective:

• To understand the concept of
• Variadic Function

Inputs:

• As passed to standard scanf() function

Sample Execution / Output:

Test Case 1: 

Description:

• Tower of hanoi consists of three rods, and a number of disks of different sizes which can slide onto any rod. The puzzle starts with the disks in a neat stack in ascending order of size on one rod, the smallest at the top, thus making a conical shape.
• The objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following simple rules :
  • Only one disk can be moved at a time.
  • Each move consists of taking the upper disk from one of the stacks and placing it on top of another stack (i.e) a disk can only be moved if it is the uppermost disk on a stack.
  • No disk may be placed on top of a smaller disk.

Prerequisites:

• Recursions

Objective:

• To understand the concept of
• Recursions

Inputs:

• Number of disks N

Sample Execution / Output:

Test Case 1: 

Description:

• Suppose k = 3 (say taking 3 distinct characters ).
  • Let 3 distinct characters be a , b, c.
• Suppose ‘n’ is the string length to be formed using ‘k’ distinct words.
  • Let n be 6
• The string should be formed in such a way that there should not be any consecutive repetitions of the strings.

Prerequisites:

• Strings
• Pointers
• Arrays

Objective:

• To understand the concept of
• String manupulations

Inputs:

• No of character C, Length of the string N and C disctint characters
