Here is something which will surely test your programming skills.

You have one character array:-
char[] charArray={'a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j' ,'k','l','m','n','o','p'};

and an emtpy 2 dimensional char array:-
char[][] char2DArray=new char[4][4];

Now the challenge is that you've to arrange char2DArray like this:

a c f j
b e i m
d h l o
g k n p

anybody up for game?

sure!!!

I had got that problem yesterday. I got some leisure time today and managed to code for it successfully (don't know whether it's efficient

).

Solve it whenever you get time.

Look buddy I've not asked for any help, so no need to give any tips. We all know you're a genius. So can you please restrain yourself from enlightening us, atleast in this thread?

Punch Farce · 08-05-09, 11:00 PM

I'll try it too. should be able to remember how I did it 10 or 20 years back ;-)

I am not a genius.
I just gave a tip.
I think this thread is great & we can post new challenges.
@Farce I did this 3 years ago.

you don't need to be good in mathematics in order to solve it.
It'll be good for you NPU.
