Our solo sponsor Pete Sergeant has been a great support to keep us motivated. We are lucky that he agreed to continue the journey with us in the year 2023. I would like to personally thank Pete and his entire team for their generosity. It would be great if we could add few more to sponsor the prize money so that we could go back and declare weekly champions as we have done in the past. I hope and wish this will become possible in 2023. The amount doesn’t have to be huge. However, it would be nice to show off bunch of supporters. If an organisation comes forward and supports us then that would be the ultimate achievement.

Task 1: Jumping Letters

Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar

You are given a word having alphabetic characters only, and a list of positive integers of the same length

Write a script to print the new word generated after jumping forward each letter in the given word by the integer in the list. The given list would have exactly the number as the total alphabets in the given word.


Example 1

Input: $word = 'Perl' and @jump = (2,22,19,9)
Output: Raku

'P' jumps 2 place forward and becomes 'R'.
'e' jumps 22 place forward and becomes 'a'. (jump is cyclic i.e. after 'z' you go back to 'a')
'r' jumps 19 place forward and becomes 'k'.
'l' jumps 9 place forward and becomes 'u'.

Example 2

Input: $word = 'Raku' and @jump = (24,4,7,17)
Output: 'Perl'

Task 2: Rearrange Groups

Submitted by: Mohammad S Anwar

You are given a list of integers and group size greater than zero.

Write a script to split the list into equal groups of the given size where integers are in sequential order. If it can’t be done then print -1.


Example 1:

Input: @list = (1,2,3,5,1,2,7,6,3) and $size = 3
Output: (1,2,3), (1,2,3), (5,6,7)

Example 2:

Input: @list = (1,2,3) and $size = 2
Output: -1

Example 3:

Input: @list = (1,2,4,3,5,3) and $size = 3
Output: (1,2,3), (3,4,5)

Example 4:

Input: @list = (1,5,2,6,4,7) and $size = 3
Output: -1


Last date to submit the solution 23:59 (UK Time) Sunday 16th April 2023.
