1. Reveal Words
Write a function, which receives two parameters.
The first parameter will be a string with some words separated by ', '.
The second parameter will be a string which contains templates containing '*'.
Find the word with the exact same length as the template and replace it.

Example
Input Output
'great', softuni is great place for learning
'softuni is ***** place for learning new programming languages
new programming languages'

'great, learning', softuni is great place for learning

'softuni is ***** place for ******** new programming languages
new programming languages'

2. Modern Times of #(HashTag)

The input will be a single string.
Find all special words starting with #. If the found special word does not consist only of letters, then it is invalid and
should not be printed.
Finally, print out all the special words you found without the label (#) on a new line.

Example
Input Output
'Nowadays everyone uses # to tag a special
#special word in #socialMedia socialMedia

'The symbol # is known #variously in variously

English-speaking #regions as regions
the #number sign'
number

3. Extract File
Write a function that receives a single string - the path to a file (the '\' character is escaped)
Your task is to subtract the file name and its extension. (Beware of files like template.bak.pptx, as template.bak
should be the file name, while pptx is the extension).

Example
Input Output
'C:\\Internal\\training-internal\\Template.pptx' File name: Template
File extension: pptx

'C:\\Projects\\Data-Structures\\LinkedList.cs' File name: LinkedList

File extension: cs

4. String Substring
The input will be given as two separated strings (a word as a first parameter and a text as a second).
Write a function that checks given text for containing a given word. The comparison should be case insensitive.
Once you find a match, print the word and stop the program.
If you don't find the word print: "{word} not found!"

Example
Input Output

'javascript', javascript
'JavaScript is the best
programming language'

'python', python not found!

'JavaScript is the best
programming language'

5. Replace Repeating Chars

Write a function that receives a single string and replace any sequence of the same letters with a single
corresponding letter.

Examples
Input Output

'aaaaabbbbbcdddeeeedssaa' abcdedsa

'qqqwerqwecccwd' qwerqwecwd

6. Pascal-Case Splitter
You will receive a single string.
This string is written in PascalCase format. Your task here is to split this string by every word in it.
Print them joined by comma and space.

'HoldTheDoor' Hold, The, Door

'ThisIsSoAnnoyingToDo' This, Is, So, Annoying, To, Do

7. Cut and Reverse

The input will be a single string.
Write a function that cuts the given string into half and reverse the two halves.
Print each half on a separate line.

Examples
Input Output

ThisIsDifficult
'tluciffiDsIsihTgnizamAoSsIsihT'
ThisIsSoAmazing

IBetYouCantDoThi
'sihToDtnaCuoYteBIboJsihTtAdooGoSm s
I' ImSoGoodAtThisJo
b

8. *Hard Words
You will receive an array, which holds the string and another array.
The string is a letter from a young boy who does not yet know some words and you have to help him. The letter has
few holes, these holes are the words unknown to the boy and you must fill them with strings from the array you
receive at the second index.
If the length of the hole is 4 you have to replace it with string with the same length and so on…

Examples
Input
['Hi, grandma! I\'m so ____ to write to you. ______ the winter vacation, so
_______ things happened. My dad bought me a sled. Mom started a new job as a
__________. My brother\'s ankle is ________, and now it bothers me even more.
Every night Mom cooks ___ on your recipe because it is the most delicious. I
hope this year Santa will _____ me a robot.',
['pie', 'bring', 'glad', 'During', 'amazing', 'pharmacist', 'sprained']]

Hi, grandma! I'm so glad to write to you. During the winter vacation, so
amazing things happened. My dad bought me a sled. Mom started a new job as a
pharmacist. My brother's ankle is sprained, and now it bothers me even more.
Every night Mom cooks pie on your recipe because it is the most delicious. I
hope this year Santa will bring me a robot.

9. *Password Generator
For this problem, you have to write a function, which generates a password depending on input information. As
such, you will be given an array of three strings. The first two strings will be at least 10 characters long, the third
one will be one word.
Your task here is to concatenate the first two strings and replace all vowels in the concatenated string with symbols
from the third string. First vowel must be replaced with the first character from third string, second vowel with the
second character from that string and so on. If the third string is less than the vowels count in the newly formed
string you need to start over with character on 0 index. When you replace all vowels reverse the new password and
print it on the console in a format:
'Your generated password is {password}'
Note: All replaced vowels with the characters from the third-string must be upper-case, the rest of the characters
are lower-case.

Examples
Input Output

[
'ilovepizza',
'ihatevegetables', Your generated password is
sElbGtNgAvRtOhEGzzNpAvRlO
'orange'
]

[
'easymoneyeazylife',
'atleasttencharacters', Your generated password is
'absolute' srTtcUrLhcnOttsSBltAEfTlyzULyOnSmysBA
]

[
'areyousureaboutthisone',
Your generated password is
'notquitebutitrustyou',
SIytsDrtDtEbBtRUqtTnSnIsDhttDEbBRrUsTSyIrD
'disturbed'
]

10. *Letters Change Numbers

John likes Math. But he also likes the English alphabet a lot. He invented a game with numbers and letters from the
English alphabet. The game is simple. You get a string consisting of a number between two letters. Depending on

whether the letter was in front of the number or after it you would perform different mathematical operations on
the number to achieve the result.
First you start with the letter before the number:
 If it's uppercase you divide the number by the letter's position in the alphabet
 If it's lowercase you multiply the number with the letter's position in the alphabet

Then you move to the letter after the number:

 If it's uppercase you subtract its position from the resulted number
 If it's lowercase you add its position to the resulted number

But the game became too easy for John really quick. He decided to complicate it a bit by doing the same but with
multiple strings keeping track of only the total sum of all results. Once he started to solve this with more strings and
bigger numbers it became quite hard to do it only in his mind. So he kindly asks you to write a program that
calculates the sum of all numbers after the operations on each number have been done.
For example: You are given the sequence "A12b s17G":
We have two strings - "A12b" and "s17G". We do the operations on each and sum them. We start with the letter
before the number on the first string. A is Uppercase and its position in the alphabet is 1. So we divide the number
12 with the position 1 (12/1 = 12). Then we move to the letter after the number. b is lowercase and its position is 2.
So we add 2 to the resulted number (12+2=14). Similarly for the second string s is lowercase and its position is 19 so
we multiply it with the number (17*19 = 323). Then we have Uppercase G with position 7, so we subtract it from the
resulted number (323 - 7 = 316). Finally, we sum the 2 results and we get 14 + 316=330.

Input
The input comes as a text, holding the sequence of strings. Strings are separated by one or more white spaces.
The input data will always be valid and in the format described. There is no need to check it explicitly.

Output
Print on the console a single number: the total sum of all processed numbers rounded up to two digits after the
decimal separator.

Constraints
 The count of the strings will be in the range [1 … 10].
 The numbers between the letters will be integers in the range [1 … 2 147 483 647].
 Time limit: 0.3 sec. Memory limit: 16 MB.

Examples
Input Output Comment

'A12b s17G' 330.00 12/1=12, 12+2=14, 17*19=323, 323-7=316, 14+316=330

'P34562Z q2576f H456z' 46015.13
