1- Beautiful Strings
The problem statement is given below:
When John was
a little kid he didn't have much to do. There was no internet, no Facebook, and
no programs to hack on. So he did the only thing he could... he evaluated the
beauty of strings in a quest to discover the most beautiful string in the
world.
Given a string s, little Johnny defined the
beauty of the string as the sum of the beauty of the letters in it.
The beauty of
each letter is an integer between 1 and 26, inclusive, and no two letters have
the same beauty. Johnny doesn't care about whether letters are uppercase or
lowercase, so that doesn't affect the beauty of a letter. (Uppercase 'F' is
exactly as beautiful as lowercase 'f', for example.)
You're a
student writing a report on the youth of this famous hacker. You found the
string that Johnny considered most beautiful. What is the maximum possible
beauty of this string?
Input
The input file consists of a single integer m followed by m lines.
Output
Your output should consist of, for each test case, a line containing the
string "Case #x: y" where x is
the case number (with 1 being the first case in the input file, 2 being the
second, etc.) and y is the maximum beauty for that test case.
Constraints
5 ≤ m ≤ 50
2 ≤ length of s ≤ 500
Sample Input
5
ABbCcc
Good luck in the Facebook Hacker Cup this year!
Ignore punctuation, please :)
Sometimes test cases are hard to make up.
So I just go consult Professor Dalves
Sample Output
Case #1: 152
Case #2: 754
Case #3: 491
Case #4: 729
Case #5: 646

2-Balanced Smileys
The problem statement is given
below:
Your friend John
uses a lot of emoticons when you talk to him on Messenger. In addition to being
a person who likes to express himself through emoticons, he hates unbalanced
parenthesis so much that it makes him go :(
Sometimes he puts
emoticons within parentheses, and you find it hard to tell if a parenthesis
really is a parenthesis or part of an emoticon.
A message has
balanced parentheses if it consists of one of the following:
1. An empty
string ""
2. One or more of the following characters: 'a' to
'z', ' ' (a space) or ':' (a colon)
3. An open
parenthesis '(', followed by a message with balanced parentheses, followed by a
close parenthesis ')'.
4. A message with balanced parentheses followed by
another message with balanced parentheses.
5. A smiley face ":)" or a frowny face
":("
Write a program
that determines if there is a way to interpret his message while leaving the
parentheses balanced.
Input
The
first line of the input contains a number T (1 ≤ T ≤ 50), the number of test cases.
The following T lines each contain a message of
length s that you got from John.
Output
For
each of the test cases numbered in order from 1 to T, output "Case
#i: " followed by a string stating whether or not it is possible that the
message had balanced parentheses. If it is, the string should be
"YES", else it should be "NO" (all quotes for clarity only)
Constraints
1 ≤ length
of s ≤ 100
Sample Input
5
:((
i am sick today
(:()
(:)
hacker cup: started
:):)
)(
Sample Output
Case #1: NO
Case #2: YES
Case #3: YES
Case #4: YES
Case #5: NO

3- Find the Min
After sending smileys, John decided to play with arrays. Did you know
that hackers enjoy playing with arrays? John has a zero-based index
array, m, which contains n non-negative integers. However, only the first k values of the array are known to him, and he wants to figure out the rest.
John knows the following: for each index i, where k <= i < n, m[i] is the minimum non-negative integer which is *not* contained in the previous *k* values of m.
For example, if k = 3, n = 4 and the known values of m are [2, 3, 0], he can figure out that m[3] = 1.
John is very busy making the world more open and connected, as such, he
doesn't have time to figure out the rest of the array. It is your task
to help him.
Given the first k values of m, calculate the nth value of this array. (i.e. m[n - 1]).
Because the values of n and k can be very large, we use a pseudo-random number generator to calculate the first k values of m. Given positive integers a, b, c and r, the known values of m can be calculated as follows:
m[0] = a
m[i] = (b * m[i - 1] + c) % r, 0 < i < k
Input
The first line contains an integer T (T <= 20), the number of test cases.
This is followed by T test cases, consisting of 2 lines each.
The first line of each test case contains 2 space separated integers, n, k (1 <= k <= 105, k < n <= 109).
The second line of each test case contains 4 space separated integers a, b, c, r (0 <= a, b, c <= 109, 1 <= r <= 109).
Output
For each test case, output a single line containing the case number and the nth element of m.
Example input:
5
97 39
34 37 656 97
186 75
68 16 539 186
137 49
48 17 461 137
98 59
6 30 524 98
46 18
7 11 9 46
Example output
Case #1: 8
Case #2: 38
Case #3: 41
Case #4: 40
Case #5: 12
