1. Sum First and Last Array Elements
Write a function that receives an array of strings and prints the sum of first and last element in that
array.
Examples
Input Output
['20', '30', '40'] 60
['10', '17', '22', '33'] 43
['11', '58', '69'] 80
Hints
Use the Number() function
2. Day of Week
Write a program which receives a number and prints the corresponding name of the day of week.
If the number is NOT a valid day, print 'Invalid day!'.
Examples
Input Output
3 Wednesday
6 Saturday
11 Invalid day!

3. Reverse an Array of Numbers
Write a program which receives a number n and an array of elements. Your task is to create a new array
with n numbers, reverse it and print its elements on a single line, space separated.
Examples
Input Output
3, [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] 30 20 10
4, [-1, 20, 99, 5] 5 99 20 -1
2, [66, 43, 75, 89, 47] 43 66
Hints
Use push() to add elements inside the new array
Use string interpolation for the output

4. Reverse an Array of Strings
Write a program which receives an array of strings (space separated values). Your task is to reverse it
and print its elements. Swap elements.
Examples
Input Output Comments
The first element should be last, and the last
['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'] edcba
element should be first.
['abc', 'def', 'hig', 'klm', 'nop'] nop klm hig def abc
['33', '123', '0', 'dd'] dd 0 123 33
Hints
Loop to the half-length of the array
Create a function to swap two elements inside an array
5. Sum Even Numbers
Write a program which receives an array of strings, parse them to numbers and sum only the even
numbers.
Examples
Input Output
['1','2','3','4','5','6'] 12
['3','5','7','9'] 0
['2','4','6','8','10'] 30

Hints
Parse each string to number
Create a variable for the sum
Iterate through all elements in the array with for-of loop
Check if the number is even
Print the total sum
6. Even and Odd Subtraction
Write a program that calculates the difference between the sum of the even and the sum of the odd
numbers in an array.
Examples
Input Output Comments
[1,2,3,4,5,6] 3 2 + 4 + 6 = 12, 1 + 3 + 5 = 9, 12 - 9 = 3
[3,5,7,9] -24
[2,4,6,8,10] 30
Hints
Parse each string to number

Create two variables - for even and odd sum
Iterate through all elements in the array with for-of loop and check if the number is odd or
even
Print the difference
7. Equal Arrays
Write a program which receives two string arrays and print on the console whether they are identical or
NOT.
Arrays are identical if their elements are equal. If the arrays are identical find the sum of the first one
and print on the console following message:
'Arrays are identical. Sum: {sum}'
If the arrays are NOT identical find the first index where the arrays differ and print on the console
following message:
'Arrays are not identical. Found difference at {index} index'.
Examples
Input Output
['10','20','30'], ['10','20','30'] Arrays are identical. Sum: 60
['1','2','3','4','5'], ['1','2','4','4','5'] Arrays are not identical. Found difference at 2 index
['1'], ['10'] Arrays are not identical. Found difference at 0 index
Hints
First, we receive two arrays of strings and parse them.

Iterate through the arrays and compare all element. If the elements are NOT equal print the
required message and break the loop.
Think about how to solve the other part of the problem.
8. Condense Array to Number
Write a program which receives an array of numbers and condense them by summing adjacent couples
of elements until a single number is obtained.
Examples
For example, if we have 3 elements [2, 10, 3], we sum the first two and the second two elements and
obtain {2+10, 10+3} = {12, 13}, then we sum again all adjacent elements and obtain {12+13} = {25}.
Input Output Comments
[2,10,3] 25 2 10 3 2+10 10+3 12 13 12 + 13 25
5 0 4 1 2 5+0 0+4 4+1 1+2 5 4 5 3 5+4 4+5 5+3 9 9 8 9+9 9+8 18 17
[5,0,4,1,2] 35
18+17 35
[1] 1 1 is already condensed to number
Hints
While we have more than one element in the array nums[], repeat the following:
Allocate a new array condensed[] of size nums.Length-1.
Sum the numbers from nums[] to condensed[]:
o condensed[i] = nums[i] + nums[i+1]
nums[] = condensed[]
