Programming exercise for newbies

The_Big_K

Here's a small coding exercise for programming newbies. I asked this question in an interview to a computer science graduate and she could not solve it. It was surprizing. The computer science, IT engineers should start thinking on their own - mugging up the stuff from book doesn't help.

So here's a simple programming challenge [for newbies]:-

Write a program that accepts a new text strings, one on each line, but prints a line number before it accepts the input. The lines are then printed out, with each word individually reversed.

That is, the output should look like -
<Text string Input>

1: Hello, this is The Big K
2: This is line number 2
3: ___

*******************************
1: K giB ehT siht ,olloeH

etc.

I hope you got the problem. Use any damn computer programming language of your choice. The only bet is - you crack this question on your own. The purpose is to make you think, not to test your Google search skills.

All the best.

uh.. say what?

It'll be interesting to code this in a language you are not familiar with

I do not know any computer language as I am in 1st year but still, i will try using HTML code and JavaScript.

<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
a=parse(prompt("text here"));
document.write(+a);
document.write(+"1: Hello, this is The Big K");
document.write(+"2: This is line number 2");
document.write(+"3: ___");
</script>
</body>
</html>

I guess it is correct.

Wow! I never expected such a simple solution!

I guess another simple solution would be to use "printf" or "cout" keywords to generate the output. Right?
