JAVA : Double value in String (Comparing Values)

public class doubleinstring 
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
System.out.println("Inside main");

boolean returnvalue=comparechk(".21999" , ".22");
System.out.println("equal true else false for .21999 , .22 ::"+returnvalue);

Digit sum VS Sum of digits + JAVA Code

Sum Of Digits : It is the sum of all the digits of a number(given) and we are list bothered about the result.

Eg.  Given Number   ->   5982

       Sum of digits     :    5+9+8+2 =24             Result is 24

       Note : 

       Here, result can be a single digit or multiple digit.

Digit Sum : It is also the sum of digits but we have to add the digits till it become a single digit number.

Eg.  Given Number->  5982

       Digit sum       :   5+9+8+2 = 24 but we have to sum the digits again as 24 is not a single digit

                                2+4=6                          Result is 6

       Note:

       Here, final result will always be as single digit number.

(Shortcut to get Digit sum)

Digit sum is the remainder we get after dividing the number by 9

eg.   5982%9  = 6    where % specifies modulus used to find remainder.    


JAVA Code for Sum of Digits

public class sumOfDigits
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
int number =5982;
int sum=0;
int variable;
while(number>0)
{
variable=number%10;
sum=sum+variable;
number=number/10;
}
System.out.println("Sum of Digits is : "+sum);
}
}  


JAVA Code for Digit Sum


public class DigitSum 
{
public static void main (String args[])
{
int number =5982;
int sum=0;
int variable;
while(number>9)
{
while(number>0)
{
variable=number%10;
sum=sum+variable;
number=number/10;
}
number=sum;
sum=0;
}
System.out.println("Sum of Digits is : "+number);
}
}             

       

Simple puzzles

Q1 We have trees in all 26 rows and 26 columns. And we want to put a golden flower in between any two trees So can you tell us the number of flowers needed to buy so that they can be planted.

Ans  : we have three concerns to find the number of flowers
         i.  Rows(R)
         ii. Columns(C)
         iii.Diagonal alignment(D)
         So, Number is     26*25(R)+26*25(C)+25*25(D)

Weighing Puzzles

Q1 We have one weighing balance and we can measure a thing weighing upto 100Kg and     we can put weight only on one Side. Can you tell us the minimum number of weighing bars needed to measure any weight between 1kg to 100kg.

Ans :

       i.  To start with it should be 1.

       ii. 2kg is required aftr tht and no need of 3kg bar as we can do with (2+1)

       iii.Next we need 4 kg  and not 5kg as we can use(4+1).

       So after close look we have some match i.e

       1,2,4,8,....till number less than 100 which is 64

       2^0, 2^1,2^2....till 2^6

       i.e power of 2(starting from 0 to 6). 

       So Result is 7.

Q2  We have one weighing balance and we can measure a thing weighing upto 100Kg and     we can put weight on both Sides. Can you tell us the minimum number of weighing bars needed to measure any weight between 1kg to 100kg.

Ans :
       Similar to the discussion  as above...
       Here, series goes like
       1,3,9,27,81
       3^0,3^1,3^2....till the number less than the needed

       So Result 5.

                              "PYAR KA WAR "

1)   Ek bar apni ek dost ke pass, le gaya main phul

      usne kahan, jo sune apki baat use hi kyon nahi dete!!!

      Beparwah ho kar, gaya dusri ladki ki aur
      usko dekhte hi, ho gaya uski ankhon ka main chor
      madhosh ho kar, betha dekhta raha usko
      itne main police aa gayi aur boli idhar se khisko

      Tisri ke pass jab main tyari ke sath pahuncha
      usne bade pyar se dekhaa aur mujhse pucha
      maine use kahan, apse pyaar mujhe hai ho gaya
      mar mere face pe ghussa, uska boyfriend usko le gaya!!!

      Tin try karne ke bad, main phir ruk gaya
      Socha bas bahut hua, aaj kota pura ho gaya
      dil pe patahar rakh kar, liya ye decision
      ki aaj mera din nahi aur next day phir shuru kiya revision... :)

               "Happy New Year"

      

Thoughts Part1

1. Winners recognize their limitations but focus on their strengths,
    Losers recognize their strengths but focus on their weaknesses.

2. If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is a part of yourself,
   What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us.

3. Argument is the worst sort of conversation.

4. Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.

5. The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
