You are given an input string. For each symbol in the string if it's the first character occurrence, replace it with a '1', else replace it with the amount of times you've already seen it. ___ ## Examples: ``` input = "Hello, World!" result = "1112111121311" input = "aaaaaaaaaaaa" result = "1234567891011...

# Description Write a function that accepts the current position of a knight in a chess board, it returns the possible positions that it will end up after 1 move. The resulted should be sorted. ## Example "a1" -> ["b3", "c2"]

Unfortunately, they caught wind of this and are on the lookout for any parentheses to prevent you from making any calls for help. But you are a proffesional and you don't...

## Task Implement a function which finds the numbers less than `2`, and the indices of numbers greater than `1` in the given sequence, and returns them as a pair of sequences. Return a nested array or a tuple depending on the language: * The first sequence being only the `1`s and `0`s from the original sequence. *...

You have a string of numbers; starting with the third number each number is the result of an operation performed using the previous two numbers. Complete the function which returns a string of the operations in order and separated by a comma and a space, e.g. `"subtraction, subtraction, addition"` The available opera...

## Task You will be given a list of objects. Each object has `type`, `material`, and possibly `secondMaterial`. The existing materials are: `paper`, `glass`, `organic`, and `plastic`. Your job is to sort these objects across the 4 recycling bins according to their `material` (and `secondMaterial` if it's present), by...

Do you have in mind the good old TicTacToe? Assuming that you get all the data in one array, you put a space around each value, `|` as a columns separator and multiple `-` as rows separator, with something like `["O", "X", " ", " ", "X", " ", "X", "O", " "]` you should be returning this structure (inclusive of new lin...
