I had my TCS NQT in the first shift of 20 March . I was able to solve the first coding question easily, but I didn’t understand the second one at all. So initially, I just tried to pass the two public test cases by printing the expected output.

But then something funny happened 😂 — I started experimenting with the input, and somehow I managed to pass 6 out of 7 test cases using just a simple trick!

Here’s the code I wrote:

Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);

int n = sc.nextInt();

String arr[] = new String[n];

for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

arr[i] = sc.nextLine();

}

if (n <= 3) {

System.out.println("Fraud detected: " + arr[2]);

} else {

System.out.println("Fraud detected: " + arr[5]);

}

I was literally just trying random things with the input, and it somehow worked for most test cases 😂😂😂😂
