Server Cost and Base 26 Calculations

The document outlines three programming questions involving date calculations, base 26 number systems, and ad slot timings. The first question requires calculating server costs based on creation and deletion dates, the second involves adding and converting base 26 strings, and the third focuses on counting pairs of ads with total durations that are multiples of 30 seconds. Each question includes sample inputs and outputs for clarity.

Question 1

Given the created and deleted dates for a server, create a program that calculates the cost. The
fee structure is as follows:

1. If the server is deleted on the same day it is created, there is a fixed cost of 20.
2. If the server is deleted after a day but still within a month cost = 30 * (the number of
days).
3. If the server is deleted after a month but still within a year, the cost = 1000 * (the
number of months).
4. If the server is deleted after a year in which it was created, there is a fixed cost of
20000.

Function Description

Complete the server_cost function in the file. It must return an integer representing the cost.

server_cost has the following parameter(s):

d1, m1, y1: created date day, month and year


d2, m2, y2: deleted date day, month and year

Output Format

Print a single integer denoting the cost for the server as input.

Sample Input

6 6 2020
9 6 2020

Sample Output

90
Question 2
Consider a base 26 system wherein the letters of the alphabets are the digits.

That is A=0, B=1, C=2….Z=25, AA=26, AB=27,... in base 10

Write a program that will take an input string of alphabets, use the first half of the string as a
number in the base26 system and the other half as another number in the base26 system.
Now, add these two numbers to obtain a sum in base10.
Accept the string only if it contains an even number of characters otherwise, return 0.

As the second part of the program, write a function to convert the base10 number you have
obtained back to base 26.

Example, first function: - If your input string is “Petpan”, then first split it into PET 26 and PAN26.
And show the sum in base10.

Example, second function:- Pass both base10 numbers 10145(PET) and 10039(PAN). The
output should be PETPAN.

First Function
------------------
Sample Input
“Petpan”
Sample Output
20184

Second Function
-----------------------
Sample Input
10145, 10039
Sample Output
“PETPAN”
Question 3
A TV Channel has ad slots running for exactly 30 seconds or multiple of 30.

You are given a list of ads where the ith ad has running time (video length) of length[i] seconds.

Return the no. of pairs of ads for which their total running time in seconds is a multiple of 30.

Example 1:

Input:

length = [15, 10, 75, 50, 20]

Output:

Explanation:

Three pairs of ads have running time in seconds as multiple of 30

15, 75 = 90 seconds

10, 50 = 60 seconds

10, 20 = 30 seconds

Example 2:

Input:

length = [30, 30, 30]

Output:

Explanation:

All three pairs have a running time of 30 seconds
