Code Puzzles: Unlock the

Mystery
Welcome to the Code Puzzles section, where
we challenge your logic and coding skills.
Think you've got what it takes to crack these
digital mysteries? Let's find out!

Puzzle 1: The Cryptic Function


#include <iostream>

#include <string>

std::string mysteryFunction(const std::string& inputStr) {

std::string result = "";


for (char ch : inputStr) {

result = ch + result;

return result;

void main() {

std::cout << mysteryFunction("C++") << std::endl;

Puzzle 2: The Lost Number


#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

int findMissingNumber(const std::vector<int>& numbers) {

int n = numbers.size() + 1;

int expectedSum = (n * (n + 1)) / 2;

int actualSum = 0;

for (int num : numbers) {

actualSum += num;

return expectedSum - actualSum;


}

void main() {

std::vector<int> numbers = {1, 2, 3, /* ... */, 100}; // Include all numbers from 1 to 100 except one

std::cout << "Missing number: " << findMissingNumber(numbers) << std::endl;

Puzzle 3: The Fibonacci Conundrum


#include <iostream>

int fibonacci(int n) {

if (n <= 1) {

return n;

return fibonacci(n - 1) + fibonacci(n - 2);

void main() {

for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {

std::cout << fibonacci(i) << " ";

std::cout << std::endl;

}
Puzzle 4: The Binary Explorer
#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

int binarySearch(const std::vector<int>& sortedArray, int target) {

int left = 0;

int right = sortedArray.size() - 1;

while (left <= right) {

int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;

if (sortedArray[mid] == target) {

return mid;

} else if (sortedArray[mid] < target) {

left = mid + 1;

} else {

right = mid – 1;

return -1; // Target not found

Void main() {
std::vector<int> sortedArray = { /* sorted integers */ };

int target = /* target number */;

std::cout << "Index of target: " << binarySearch(sortedArray, target) << std::endl;

Puzzle 5: The Anagram Detective

#include <iostream>

#include <unordered_map>

bool areAnagrams(const std::string& str1, const std::string& str2) {

if (str1.length() != str2.length()) {

return false;

std::unordered_map<char, int> charCount;

for (char ch : str1) {

charCount[ch]++;

for (char ch : str2) {

if (charCount.find(ch) == charCount.end() || charCount[ch] == 0) {

return false;
}

charCount[ch]--;

return true;

int main() {

std::string word1 = "listen";

std::string word2 = "silent";

std::cout << "Are they anagrams? " << std::boolalpha << areAnagrams(word1, word2) << std::endl;
