 Preceding Alphabets 

 Problem Statement 

The program must accept a string S and an alphabet CH as the input. Then the program must print only the alphabets in S which occur before CH in the alphabetical order (from A to Z or a to z). CH can be in upper or lower case but the comparison must be case in-sensitive.

 Boundary Condition(s) 

2 <= Length of S <= 1000

 Input Format 

The first line contains string S.
The second line contains CH.

 Output Format 

The first line contains only the alphabets in S which occurs before CH in the alphabetical order.

 Example Input/Output 1 

 Input 

Breaking News
K

 Output 

Beaige

 Explanation 

Only Beaige are before K or k in the alphabetic order.

 Example Input/Output 2 

 Input 

my LITTLEprinCESS
p

 Output 

mLILEinCE

 Note: Max Execution Time Limit: 500 millisecs 

 Solution 

 Programming Language: Python 3 Language 

l=input().strip()
k=input().strip().lower()
s='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';j=0
for i in range(len(s)):
    if s[i]==k:
        j=i
        break
for i in l:
    if i.lower() in s[:j]:
        print(i,end="")

Highly Profitable Months

PKJ
 Coding Problem Keys   Highly Profitable Months   Problem Statement  The stocks of a company are being surveyed to analyse the net profit of the company over a period of several months. For an analysis parameter k, a group of k consecutive months is said to be highly profitable if the values of the stock prices are strictly increasing for those months. Given the stock prices of the company for n months and the analysis parameter k, find the number of highly profitable months  Example  Let the number of months be n = 8, the stock prices be stockPrices = [5, 3, 5, 7, 8] and the analysis parameter be k = 3. Following are the groups of k months in which the stock prices are strictly increasing: Hence the answer is 2.  Function Description  Complete the function countHighlyProfitableMonths in the editor below. countHighlyProfitableMonths has the following parameters:     int stockPrices[n]: the stock prices for n months.   ...

Desktop Products

PKJ
 Coding Problem Keys   Desktop Products   Problem Statement  A company DigiComparts manufactures 52 types of unique products for laptop and desktop computers. It manufactures 10 types of laptop products and 42 types of desktop products. Each product manufactured by the company has a unique productID from a-z and and A-Z. The laptop products have productIDs (a, i, e, o, u, A, I, E, O, U) while the rest of the productIDs are assigned to the desktop products. The company manager wishes to find the sales data for the desktop products. Given a list of productIDs of the sales of the last N products, write an algorithm to help the manager find the productIDs of the desktop products.  Input Format  The first line of the input consists of an integer numOfProducts, representing the number of products to be considered in the sales data (N). The second line consists of N space-separated characters - productID 1 , productID 2 , ... , productID N  represen...

Find Maxima/Minima

PKJ
 Coding Problem Keys   Find Maxima/Minima   Problem Statement  Implement the following function: def MaximaOrMinima(a, b, c): Quadratic equation: A quadratic equation is any equation having the form, ax ² + bx + c, where 'a' cannot be zero. The function accepts coefficients of a quadratic equation, 'a', 'b' and 'c' as its argument. Implement the function to find the maximum or minimum value of quadratic equation by substituting integer values x, where -100 <= x <= 100. Return the values as follow: If a > 0, return the minimum value of the equation. If a < 0, return the maximum value of the equation. Assumption: a is not equal to zero. Note: Computed value lies within integer range.  Example 1   Input  a: 1 b: 2 c: 1  Output  0  Explanation  Since, (a > 0) output is the minimum value which is at x = -1, output = 1 * (-1) ²  + 2 * (-1) + 1 = 0. The custom input format for the above case: 1 2 1 (Th...

Occurrences of Sub in Parent

PKJ
 Coding Problem Keys   Occurrences of Sub in Parent   Problem Statement  You are given two strings containing only English letters. Write an algorithm to count the number of occurrences of the second string in the first string. (You may disregard the case of the letters).  Input  The first line of the input consists of a string parent, representing the first string. The second line consists of a string sub, representing the second string.  Output  Print an integer representing the number of occurrences of Sub in Parent. If no occurrence of Sub is found in Parent then print 0.  Example 1   Input  TimisplayinginthehouseofTimwiththetoysofTim Tim  Output  3  Explanation  Tim occurs 3 times in the first string, So, the output is 3.  Example 2   Input  abcdefg bcd  Output  1  Explanation  Tim occurs 1 times in the first string, So, the output is 1.  Solution...
