1. Action Point
Create a program that reads a collection of strings from the console and then prints them onto the console. Each
name should be printed on a new line. Use Action<T>.

Examples
Input Output

Lucas Noah Tea Lucas

Noah
Tea

Teo Lucas Harry Teo

Lucas
Harry

Ashurbanipal Napoleon Caeser Ashurbanipal

Napoleon
Caeser

2. Knights of Honor
Create a program that reads a collection of names as strings from the console, appends "Sir" in front of every
name and prints it back in the console. Use Action<T>.

Examples
Input Output

Eathan Lucas Noah Arthur Sir Eathan

Sir Lucas

 3. Custom Min Function
Create a simple program that reads from the console a set of integers and prints back on the console the smallest
number from the collection. Use Func<T, T>.

Examples
Input Output

1 4 3 2 1 7 13 1

4 5 -2 3 -5 8 -5

4. Find Evens or Odds

You are given a lower and an upper bound for a range of integer numbers. Then a command specifies if you need to
list all even or odd numbers in the given range. Use Predicate<T>.

Examples
Input Output

1 10 1 3 5 7 9
odd

20 30 20 22 24 26 28 30
even

5. Applied Arithmetics
Create a program that executes some mathematical operations on a given collection. On the first line, you are given
a list of numbers. On the next lines, you are passed different commands that you need to apply to all the numbers
in the list:
 "add" -> add 1 to each number
 "multiply" -> multiply each number by 2
 "subtract" -> subtract 1 from each number
 "print" -> print the collection
 "end" -> ends the input

Note: Use functions.

Examples
Input Output

1 2 3 4 5 3 4 5 6 7
add
add
print

6. Reverse and Exclude

Create a program that reverses a collection and removes elements that are divisible by a given integer n. Use
predicates/functions.

Examples
Input Output

1 2 3 4 5 6 5 3 1
2

20 10 40 30 60 50 50 40 10 20

7. Predicate for Names

Write a program that filters a list of names according to their length. On the first line, you will be given an integer n,
representing a name's length. On the second line, you will be given some names as strings separated by space. Write
a function that prints only the names whose length is less than or equal to n.

Examples
Input Output
4 Karl
Karl Anna Kris Yahto
Anna
Kris
4 Karl
Karl James George Robert Patricia

8. List of Predicates
Find all numbers in the range 1…N that are divisible by the numbers of a given sequence. On the first line, you will be
given an integer N – which is the end of the range. On the second line, you will be given a sequence of integers
which are the dividers. Use predicates/functions.

Examples
Input Output

10 2 4 6 8 10
1 1 1 2

100 20 40 60 80 100
2 5 10 20

 9. Predicate Party!
Ivan's parents are on a vacation for the holidays and he is planning an epic party at home. Unfortunately, his
organizational skills are next to non-existent, so you are given the task to help him with the reservations.
On the first line, you receive a list of all the people that are coming. On the next lines, until you get the "Party!"
command, you may be asked to double or remove all the people that apply to the given criteria. There are three
different criteria:
 Everyone that has his name starting with a given string
 Everyone that has a name ending with a given string
 Everyone that has a name with a given length

Finally, print all the guests who are going to the party separated by ", " and then add the ending "are going to
the party!". If no guests are going to the party print "Nobody is going to the party!". See the examples
below:

Examples
Input Output

Peter Misha Stephen Misha, Misha, Stephen are going to the

Remove StartsWith P party!
Double Length 5
Party!

Peter Peter, Peter, Peter, Peter are going to

Double StartsWith Pete the party!
Double EndsWith eter
Party!

Peter Nobody is going to the party!

Remove StartsWith P
Party!

10. Party Reservation Filter Module

You need to implement a filtering module to a party reservation software. First, the Party Reservation Filter Module
(PRFM for short) has been passed a list with invitations. Next, the PRFM receives a sequence of commands that
specify whether you need to add or remove a given filter.
Each PRFM command is in the given format:
"{command;filter type;filter parameter}"
You can receive the following PRFM commands:
 "Add filter"
 "Remove filter"
 "Print"

The possible PRFM filter types are:

 "Starts with"

  "Ends with"
 "Length"
 "Contains"

All PRFM filter parameters will be a string (or an integer only for the "Length" filter). Each command will be valid
e.g. you won't be asked to remove a non-existent filter. The input will end with a "Print" command, after which
you should print all the party-goers that are left after the filtration. See the examples below:

Examples
Input Output

Peter Misha Slav Slav

Add filter;Starts with;P
Add filter;Starts with;M
Print

Peter Misha John Misha John

Add filter;Starts with;P
Add filter;Starts with;M
Remove filter;Starts with;M
Print

11. TriFunction
Create a program that traverses a collection of names and returns the first name, whose sum of characters is equal
to or larger than a given number N, which will be given on the first line. Use a function that accepts another
function as one of its parameters. Start by building a regular function to hold the basic logic of the program.
Something along the lines of Func<string, int, bool>. Afterward, create your main function which should
accept the first function as one of its parameters.

Examples
Input Output

350 Mary
Rob Mary Paisley Spencer

666 William
Paul Thomas William
