Code

This C# program prompts the user to enter a four-character element in a series, validates the input, and calculates the next element based on specific rules. If the input is valid, it increments the characters and numbers accordingly, handling cases where the number reaches 99 or the characters reach 'Z'. The program returns 'Input is invalid' for any incorrect input format.
