    The document is a code submission for a CodeChef problem about determining if a bus ticket code has an alternating pattern of letters. The submission includes the submitter's name and roll number, a description of the problem to solve, the C code submitted, and a brief explanation of the approach. The code takes the ticket code as input, checks if the first two letters are different, and then checks if each subsequent letter alternates between the first two letters. It prints "YES" if alternating or "NO" if not.

    QUESTION: 2: TICKETS5

    BEGINNER

    Every day, Mike goes to his job by a bus, where he buys a ticket. On
    the ticket, there is a letter-code that can be represented as a string of
    upper-case Latin letters.

    Mike believes that the day will be successful in case exactly two
    different letters in the code alternate. Otherwise, he believes that
    the day will be unlucky. Please see note section for formal definition
    of alternating code.

    You are given a ticket code. Please determine, whether the day will
    be successful for Mike or not. Print "YES" or "NO" (without quotes)
    corresponding to the situation.

    //ANANDHA KRISHNAN.R

    #include<stdio.h>
    #include<string.h>
    int main()
    {
    int t;

    scanf("%d",&t);

    while(t--)
    {

    char str[100],c1,c2;
    int i, check =1;

    scanf("%s",str);

    c1 = str[0];
    c2 = str[1];

    if(c1 != c2)
    {
    for(i=2;i<strlen(str);i+=2)
    {

    if(str[i] != c1)
    {
    check = 0;
    }
    }
    for(i=3;i<strlen(str);i+=2)
    {
    if(str[i] != c2)
    {
    check = 0;
    }
    }
    }
    if(check == 1 && c1!=c2)
    printf("YES\n");

    else if(check == 0 || c1 == c2)


    printf("NO\n");
    }
    return 0;
    }
    APPROACH:
    I took t as the number of test cases and iterating the while loop and
    taking all elements as input then I am checking whether the codes
    are alternate .If alternate it prints yes, otherwise no.
