SubexSample Questions and Answers

The document contains coding questions and solutions related to automata. The first question involves finding a syntax error in a switch statement code where a float is used instead of an int. The second question involves finding a logical error in a nested for loop code with a semicolon issue. The third question asks to complete code to find the equilibrium index in an array by reusing existing left_side_sum and right_side_sum functions.

AMCAT Automata Coding Sample Questions And

Answers

1) Find the syntax error in the below code without modifying the logic.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float x = 1.1;
switch (x)
{
case 1: printf(“Choice is 1”);
break;
default: printf(“Invalid choice”);
break;
}
return 0;
}
Answer:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x = 1;
switch (x)
{
case 1: printf(“Choice is 1”);
break;
default: printf(“Invalid choice”);
break;
}
return 0;
}
The expression used in the switch must be an integral type (int, char, and enum). Any other type
of expression is not allowed.
2) Find the logical error in the below code.
void main () {
int i, j, n = 5;
for(i=1; i<n; i++)
{
AMCAT Automata Coding Sample Questions And
Answers
for(j=i;j<n;j++);
{
printf(“%d”, i);
}
printf(“\n”);
}
}
Solution:
void main () {
int i, j, n = 5;
for(i=1; i<n; i++)
{
for(j=i;j<n;j++)
{
printf(“%d”, i);
}
printf(“\n”);
}
}
we use a semicolon in C statement to tell the compiler where’s the end of our statement.
Second for loop executes one time.
3) Complete the below code by reusing the existing function.
Find the index of equilibrium element in the given array. In an array equilibrium element is the
one where the sum of all the elements to the left side is equal to the sum of all the elements in
the right side.
Return Value:
1) Return -1 if no equilibrium element is found
2) In case there is more than one equilibrium element, return the element with least index value.
You are required to complete the given code by reusing the existing function. You can click on
Compile & run anytime to check the compilation/execution status of the program you can use
printf to debug your code. The submitted code should be logically/syntactically correct and pass
all the test cases.
Code approach For the question:
You will need to correct the given implementation.
We do not expect you to modify the approach or incorporate any additional library methods.

Test Case:
a[] = {1,2,3,4,3,3}. 4 is the equilibrium element since its left side sum (1+2+3) is equal to its right
side sum (3+3)

#include <stdio.h>
// Return the sum of elements from index 0 to (idx – 1)
int left_side_sum(int a[], int n, int idx)
{
int sum = 0, i;
for(i = 0; i < idx; i++)
{
sum += a[i];
}

return sum;
}

// Return the sum of elements from index (idx + 1) to (n – 1)


int right_side_sum(int a[], int n, int idx)
{
int sum = 0, i;
for(i = idx + 1; i < n; i++)
{
sum += a[i];
}

return sum;
}

// returns -1 if no equilibrium index found


int findEquilibriumIndex(int a[], int n)
{
// Type your code here
}

int main() {
AMCAT Automata Coding Sample Questions And
Answers
//code
int a[10], n, i;

// get the elements count


scanf(“%d”, &n);

// get the array elements


for(i=0; i<n; i++)
{
scanf(“%d”, &a[i]);
}

int equiIndex = findEquilibriumIndex(a, n);


if(equiIndex != -1) {
printf(“%d”, a[equiIndex]);
}
return 0;
}

Solution:

// Return the sum of elements from index 0 to (idx – 1)


int left_side_sum(int a[], int n, int idx)
{
int sum = 0, i;
for(i = 0; i < idx; i++)
{
sum += a[i];
}

return sum;
}

// Return the sum of elements from index (idx + 1) to (n – 1)


int right_side_sum(int a[], int n, int idx)
{

int sum = 0, i;

{

int findEquilibriumIndex(int a[], int n)
{
// Type your code here
int i;
for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
if(left_side_sum(a, n, i) == right_side_sum(a, n, i))
{
return i;
}
}

return -1;
}

int main() {
//code
int a[10], n, i;
// get the elements count
scanf(“%d”, &n);
// get the array elements
for(i=0; i<n; i++)
{
scanf(“%d”, &a[i]);
