places after it in the alphabets, with the other characters remaining unchanged.

Prateik Sharma 8787274046 , 8299424425 Page 4 of 7

Write a program to accept a plain text of length L, where L must be greater than 3 and less than
100.

Encrypt the text if valid as per the Caesar Cipher.

Test your program with the sample data and some random data:

Example 1
INPUT : Hello! How are you?
OUTPUT :
The cipher text is:
Uryyb? Ubj ner lbh?

55. Write a program to accept a sentence which may be terminated by either’.’, ‘?’or’!’ only. The
words may be separated by more than one blank space and are in UPPER CASE.

Perform the following tasks:

(a) Find the number of words beginning and ending with a vowel.

(b) Place the words which begin and end with a vowel at the beginning, followed by the remaining
words as they occur in the sentence.

Test your program with the sample data and some random data:

Example 1

INPUT: ANAMIKA AND SUSAN ARE NEVER GOING TO QUARREL ANYMORE.

OUTPUT: NUMBER OF WORDS BEGINNING AND ENDING WITH A VOWEL= 3

ANAMIKA ARE ANYMORE AND SUSAN NEVER GOING TO QUARREL

55. Accept a paragraph of text consisting of sentences that are terminated by either ‘.’ (full stop),
‘!’ (exclamation mark) or a ‘?’ (question mark). Assume that there can be maximum 10 sentences
in a paragraph. Write a program to arrange the sentences in increasing order of their number of
words.

Example:
INPUT : Please come and attend the party. Hello! How are you?
OUTPUT:
Hello=1

How are you = 3

Prateik Sharma 8787274046 , 8299424425 Page 5 of 7

Please come and attend the party = 6

56. The encryption of alphabets are to be done as follows:

A=1
B=2
C=3
.
.
.
Z = 26
The potential of a word is found by adding the encrypted value of the alphabets.

Example: KITE

Potential = 11 + 9 + 20 + 5 = 45

Accept a sentence which is terminated by either “ . ” , “ ? ” or “ ! ”. Each word of sentence is

separated by single space. Decode the words according to their potential and arrange them in
ascending order.

57. Write a program to accept a sentence which may be terminated by either ‘.’ or ‘?’ only. The
words are to be separated by a single blank space. Print an error message if the input does not
terminate with ‘.’ or ‘?’. You can assume that no word in the sentence exceeds 15 characters, so
that you get a proper formatted output.

Perform the following tasks:

(i) Convert the first letter of each word to uppercase.
(ii) Find the number of vowels and consonants in each word and display them with proper headings
along with the words.

Test your program with the following inputs.

Example 1

INPUT: Intelligence plus character is education.

OUTPUT:
Intelligence Plus Character Is Education

Word Vowels Consonants

Intelligence 5 7

Plus 1 3

Character 3 6

Prateik Sharma 8787274046 , 8299424425 Page 6 of 7

 Is 1 1

Education 5 4
58. Write a program to accept a sentence which may be terminated by either ‘.’ ‘?’ or ‘!’ only. Any
other character may be ignored. The words may be separated by more than one blank space and
are in UPPER CASE.

Perform the following tasks:

(a) Accept the sentence and reduce all the extra blank space between two words to
a single blank space.
(b) Accept a word from the user which is part of the sentence along with its
position number and delete the word and display the sentence.
Test your program with the sample data and some random data:

Example 1
INPUT: A MORNING WALK IS A IS BLESSING FOR THE WHOLE DAY.
WORD TO BE DELETED: IS
WORD POSITION IN THE SENTENCE: 6

59. A sentence in the Special Fashion can be printed by taking two integers (not beyond total
number of words in the sentence or less than 1). These integers tell the word number of the
sentence. Replace only those words present at those given integer places by the next character in
a circular fashion according to the English Alphabets. If both the integers are same then replace
only one word. let us consider the following examples:

Sentence: He has good Books.

Input Integers: 2,4

Output Sentence: He ibt good Cpplt.

(i.e. word number 2 and 4 have been replaced by the next characters in a circular fashion)

60. Write a program to assign a full path and file name as given below. Using library functions,
extract and output the file path, file name and file extension separately as shown.

Input: C:Users\admin\Pictures\flowers.jpg
Output:

File name: flower
Extension: jpg
