 Leap Year Detector

by CodeChum Admin

Let’s try to find out whether a year has 365 or 366 days. To do this, we need to create a leap year detector!

Conditions for a leap year:

1.) year must be divisible by 4 and not divisible by 100

2.) If year is divisible by 100, it must be divisible by 400 for it to be a leap year.

Instructions:

1. You are provided with the isLeapYear() function which is already declared and defined for you.
2. Your task is to ask the user for a year and then call the isLeapYear function to check whether the year is a leap year or not.

Input

1. Year to be checked

Output

If a certain year is a leap year, print "<INSERT_YEAR_HERE> is a leap year"

Otherwise, print "<INSERT_YEAR_HERE> is not a leap year"

Enter·year:·2020
2020·is·a·leap·year

Preserving the Gene Pool

by CodeChum Admin

In order to make sure that the future generations will grow into great beings, we must make sure that the gene pool consists of the best genes. In order to do that, we must compare genes from each other and find out which one is the best!

Instructions:

In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for 4 integer inputs and passes these to the getBest() function call.

Your task is to declare and define this getBest() function which has the following details:

Return type - int

Name - getBest

Parameters - 4 integers

Description - returns the highest integer passed

DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING IN THE MAIN

Input

1. First integer

2. Second integer

3. Third integer

4. Fourth integer

Output

Enter·a:·10

Enter·b:·3

Enter·c:·15

Enter·d:·14

Highest·integer·=·15

Pairing Up

by CodeChum Admin

You’re tasked with pairing up people with each other but you need to figure out how well both of them work together. In order to find out how effective each pair is, you need to create a program that adds both of their values and returns their sum.

Instructions:

In the code editor, you are provided with a main() function that asks the user for two integer inputs, passes these to a function called, getSum(), and then prints the returned value.

Your task is to declare and define the getSum() function which has the following details:

Return type - int

Name - getSum

Parameters - 2 integers

Description - adds the passed integers and returns their sum

DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING IN THE MAIN

Input

1. First integer

2. Second integer

Output

Enter·first·number:·24

Enter·second·number:·21

Sum·=·45

Survival of the Biggest (JAVA)

by CodeChum Admin

Looping a number and taking away each digit of it is so much fun, but I wanted to try out a much more complex task: getting the largest digit among them all.

Think you can handle the job?

Instructions:

1. Input a non-zero positive integer.
2. Using the same concept as the previous problem, figure out how to separate the digits of a number and determine which of the digits is the largest one, using a while. Afterwards, print the largest digit.
3. Tip #1: Create another variable that will hold the largest digit. Initial its value to a negative integer, like -1, outside the loop.
4. Tip #2: Everytime you get the rightmost digit, check if it is greater than the current largest digit. If it is, set it as the new largest digit.

Input

A line containing an integer.

214

Output

A line containing an integer.
