Guidelines:
01. Observe the ASCII table . You have to follow character column.
02. Read the following article: Fun with modular arithmetic. Modular concepts are used to formulate
your questions.
03. Read the given example and understand the variables in the description.

First Name as String1 Middle Name as String 2 Last Name as String 3

M u h a m m a d Y a s i n N a s i r

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1 2 3 4 0 1 2 3 4

Observe the above three strings. 𝑠1 as Muhammad, 𝑠2 as Yasin and, 𝑠3 as Nasir are three strings.
 Each string is starting with 0 index. e.g. First index is 0 and last index is 7 for string 1.
 Each string must start with CAPITAL letter followed by small letters.
 
Length of string is number of characters in the string, denoted by 𝐿𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ(𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔). For the
given strings, length of three strings are 8, 5 and 5 respectively.
04. Selection of string for the assignment.
a. Use your registered name in the CS department (Used at SAP)
b. Select first three strings of your name. e.g. Syed Abdul Wajid will be selected from Syed
Abdul Wajid Bin Arish.
c. If number of strings are lesser than three in your name, then
i. Use your first name as the second string.
ii. Use your first name as the third string.
05. Evaluate the following values for your assignment to start proceedings.
String 1 = _________________________
String 2 = _________________________
String 3 = _________________________

06. Evaluate the following values for your assignment to start proceedings. Use characters in strings
to evaluate each variable. Fill the values in the given table as per tour requirement. Note: s10
denotes the character at ‘0’ index for string1, s11 denotes the character at ‘1’ index for string1 &
so on.
