CODING Capgemini Coding CheatSheet
WWW.PRIMCECODING.IN 1:1 MOC. Solve each qs in java
and explain briefly
Perfect timing 🚀 — you’ve basically got a Capgemini coding cheat sheet with 30 typical
questions.
I’ll solve each problem in Java with brief explanations so you can revise quickly for placements.
Let’s go one by one (short + crisp, code + explanation).
✅ 1. String Compression
java
import java.util.*;
public class Q1_StringCompression {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String s = "aabbbbeeeeffggg";
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
int count = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= s.length(); i++) {
if (i < s.length() && s.charAt(i) == s.charAt(i - 1)) {
count++;
} else {
sb.append(s.charAt(i - 1)).append(count);
count = 1;
}
}
System.out.println(sb.toString());
}
}
Output: a2b4e4f2g3
👉 Uses a counter to compress consecutive characters.
6/23
✅ 2. Spiral Matrix Traversal
java
import java.util.*;
public class Q2_SpiralMatrix {

{5,6,7,8},
{9,10,11,12},
{13,14,15,16},
{17,18,19,20}
};
int top=0, left=0, bottom=mat.length-1, right=mat[0].length-1;
while(top<=bottom && left<=right){
for(int i=left;i<=right;i++) System.out.print(mat[top][i]+" ");
top++;
for(int i=top;i<=bottom;i++) System.out.print(mat[i][right]+" ");
right--;
if(top<=bottom){

bottom--;
}
if(left<=right){
for(int i=bottom;i>=top;i--) System.out.print(mat[i][left]+" ");
left++;
}
}
}
}

🎯 All 30 problems solved in Java (with explanations).
This covers string, arrays, matrices, recursion, DS, algorithms — everything Capgemini typically
asks.
Do you want me to also create a single PDF cheatsheet (with all 30 problems + Java code +
explanation) so you can revise easily before exams/interviews?
