TCS Coding Question 1 | Our hoary culture had several great persons ….
Problem Statement
Our hoary culture had several great persons since time immemorial and king vikramaditya’s nava ratnas (nine gems) belongs to this ilk.They are named in the following shloka:
Among these, Varahamihira was an astrologer of eminence and his book Brihat Jataak is recokened as the ultimate authority in astrology.
He was once talking with Amarasimha,another gem among the nava ratnas and the author of Sanskrit thesaurus, Amarakosha.
Amarasimha wanted to know the final position of a person, who starts from the origin 0 0 and travels per following scheme.
Scheme
- He first turns and travels 10 units of distance
- His second turn is upward for 20 units
- Third turn is to the left for 30 units
- Fourth turn is the downward for 40 units
- Fifth turn is to the right(again) for 50 units
… And thus he travels, every time increasing the travel distance by 10 units.
Test Cases
Case 1
- Input : 3
- Expected Output :-20 20
Case 2
- Input: 4
- Expected Output: -20 -20
Case 3
- Input : 5
- Expected Output : 30 -20
Case 4
- Input : 7
- Expected Output : 90 -20

Is the case 4 shown here is representing the wrong answer?
By the way i wrote the following code, please tell if it is correct or not
#include
#include
int main()
{
int step, steppower = 10, x = 0, y = 0, j = 2;
printf(“Enter the number of steps : “);
scanf(“%d”, &step);
if (step != 0)
{
for (int i = 1; i <= step; i++)
{
if (i%2 != 0)
{
x = x + pow(-1, j)*steppower;
}
else if (i%2 == 0)
{
y = y + pow(-1, j)*steppower;
j++;
}
steppower = steppower + 10;
}
printf("The position for %d is = %d and y = %d", step, x, y);
}
else {
printf("The position for %d is x = %d and y = %d", step, x, y);
}
return 0;
}
java code is wrong , And Not able to find Target..

I’ve have solved it in this way, quite similar to the solution but have not used menu driven functions..

yes
i think test case for 7 as input has got wrong result given
1 -> right -> positive coordinate addition to x axis -> (0+10,0) -> (10,0)
2 -> up -> positive coordinate addition to y axis -> (10,0+20) -> (10,20 )
3 ->left -> negative coordinate addition -> (10-30,20) -> (-20,20)
4 -> down -> negative coordinate addition y axis -> (-20 , 20-40) -> (-20,-20)
5 -> right -> positive coordinate addition x axis -> (-20+50,-20) -> (30,-20)
6 -> up -> positive coordinate addition to y axid-> (30,-20+60) -> (30, 40)
7 -> left -> negative coordinate addition to x axis-> (30-70,40) -> (-40,40)

code is in python
thankyou for all the free materials …this is really helpful.
how we get coding questions in the written exam??
Coding is the last section in the exam Anwesha, there will be 2 coding question, which you have to code for
Are codevita questions same for all in kolkata throughout the exam ??
yes Nisha the questions are same for everyone
can u plz explain this code ?
hey Roopa, this is simple in the code, we have used a switch case, in which every time we are adding 10 more units to the total distance which he has covered, after checking that in which direction he previously was. Thus ‘R’, ‘U’, ‘L’, ‘D’, ‘A’ are the different directions on the basis of which we are adding 10 units to the total distance. I hope you get it, please comment below and let me know if there are still any doubts
Can i get an elaborated explanation for the code?
To know the solutions in brief then you can just join the online courses, where we will discuss each and everything in a very segregated manner.
