Programming Section ( mainly ask 2 programs.)

1. Occurrence of letters in String. Get string from KB of any length & print letters coming maximum time first than second
largest….. i.e in descending order.
Their requirement: They want that u make this program thru linked list if u do that than it is well n good. Must allocate
memory dynamically. Use proper assumptions & Comments everywhere this will add more advantage .use in all programs.
Output look like if u enter string aababbbcba
b 5 times
a 4 times
c 1 times just like that
Hint: Make array of 256 chars. Now Scan the string pick each char and according to it’s acsii value increment that index
value at last u have an array which have counter for each alphabet. Sort this array & display.

Function signature like
SparseMatrix SparseAdd(SparseMatrix s1,SparseMatrix s2)

PROGRAMMING SECTION (This consisted of Two programs to be solved in 1 hour.) 

1. A sparse matrix is a matrix in which a node with val=0 is not represented. The whole matrix is represented by a Linked
list where node typedef struct Node
{
int row;
int col;
int value;
sparsematrix next;
} Element, *sparsematrix;
The problem is, if there are two matrix given suppose m1 and m2, then add them and return the resultant sparsematrix.
2. If suppose there are N functions say from 0,1,2,... N-1 and it's given that A[i][j]=1 if the function i contains a call to
func. j otherwise A[i][j]=0, then write a function that will form groups of related functions and print them line by line and
at the end print the number of total groups
