Solved 2018 Practical Paper ISC Computer Science — Question 3
Back to all questionsQuestion 3
The names of the teams participating in a competition should be displayed on a banner vertically, to accommodate as many teams as possible in a single banner. Design a program to accept the names of N teams, where 2 < N < 9 and display them in vertical order, side by side with a horizontal tab (i.e. eight spaces).
Test your program for the following data and some random data:
Example 1
INPUT:
N = 3
Team 1: Emus
Team 2: Road Rols
Team 3: Coyote
OUTPUT:
E R C
m o o
u a y
s d o
t
R e
o
l
s
Example 2
INPUT:
N = 4
Team 1: Royal
Team 2: Mars
Team 3: De Rose
Team 4: Kings
OUTPUT:
R M D K
o a e i
y r n
a s R g
l o s
s
e
Example 3
INPUT:
N = 10
OUTPUT:
INVALID INPUT
Solution
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Banner
{
public static void main(String args[]) {

System.out.print("ENTER THE VALUE OF N: ");
int n = in.nextInt();

System.out.println("INVALID INPUT");
return;
}
String teams[] = new String[n];
int highLen = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
System.out.print("Team " + (i+1) + ": ");
teams[i] = in.nextLine();
if (teams[i].length() > highLen) {
highLen = teams[i].length();
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < highLen; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {
int len = teams[j].length();

System.out.print(" \t");
}
else {
System.out.print(teams[j].charAt(i) + "\t");
}
}
System.out.println();
