Coding Challenges

Challenge 1
What’s the time Mr. Wolf.

Calculate and display the number of seconds which have
elapsed between the two time stamps.


Inputs are hourStart, minuteStart and secondStart. hourEnd,
minuteEnd and secondEnd.

Example
1
1
1
2
2
2
Total Seconds: 3661

Challenge 2
What day is it!?


Take an input integer number from 1 to 365, output the day of the
week that this day would be. Assume that January 1st this year was a
Friday (This can be day 0, with Sunday represented by 2 etc)

Input:
Day: 1
This was a Friday (1)

Day: 3
This was a Sunday (3)

Day: 10
This was a Sunday (3)

Challenge 3
What century is it!?

Given an input as a positive integer, output the century a particular year
falls in.
Keep in mind, the 20th Century began on 1901 and ended on 2000.

Input:
Year: 1899
19 TH Century

Year: 1901
20 TH Century


Challenge 4
Itsy Bitsy Spider

A spider climbs up h centimeters per night, slipping back down f
centimeters when sleeping.

How long does a spider take to climb X centimetres (h must be > f)

The program should output the number of days

Input:
h: 3
f: 2
X: 10
8 days required

h: 7
f: 3
X: 20
5 days required


Challenge 5
Are you positive!?

Given an input integer, print ‘YES’ if it is positive, ‘NO’ otherwise

Input: 12
YES

Input: -6
NO

Challenge 6
That’s odd!

Given an input integer, print ‘ODD’ if the number is odd, display ‘EVEN’
otherwise (any special numbers which should print neither?)

Input: 12
EVEN

Input: -7
ODD









Challenge 7
Remainder Remainder!

Given an input integer A and an input integer B, if A is larger than B,
output “yes” if A perfectly divides by B and “no” otherwise

Input A: 12
Input B: 6
Remainder: 0
yes

Input A: 14
Input B: 5
Remainder: 4
no

Challenge 8
Lucky 8’s

Given an input integer, print ‘YES’ if
the last digit in the number is 8, ‘NO’
otherwise

Input: 1228
YES

Input: 107
NO










Challenge 9
Oddly Peculiar

Given two integer inputs, output ‘ODD’
if both numbers are odd, ‘EVEN’ if both
numbers are even and ‘NEITHER’ in any
other scenario.

Input: 12
Input: 13
NEITHER

Input: 14
Input: 16
EVEN

Challenge 10
Ascending and Descending

Given three input integers, output ‘ASCENDING’ if they are in
ascending order, ‘DESCENDING’ if in descending order, otherwise
display ‘MIXED’

Input: 12
Input: 13
Input: 14
DESCENDING

Input: 8
Input: 13
Input: 124
ASCENDING

Input: 13
Input: 10
Input: 14
MIXED

Challenge 11
