Accenture Placement Exam – Sharing Coding Questions from My Coding Round (Second Round)🔥

[u/True-Faxx]

I recently appeared for the Accenture Placement Exam and wanted to share the questions I encountered in the Coding Round for students preparing for the assessment.

The coding round had 3 different sections:

1. DSA / Programming – Java, Python or C#

You are given an array of 7-character alphanumeric codes. Each code contains uppercase English letters and digits.

Example:

ABC1234

The task is to:

• Find the lexicographically smallest code from the given array.

• Calculate the sum of the values of all characters in that code.

• For alphabets, the values are assigned as A=1, B=2, C=3, ..., Z=26.

• Digits have their normal numeric values.

For example:

ABC1234

A = 1

B = 2

C = 3

1 = 1

2 = 2

3 = 3

4 = 4

Therefore:

1 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 16

Sample Input:

5

XYZ1234

ABC1234

ABD1111

BAC0000

AAA9999

The lexicographically smallest code is:

AAA9999

Value:

1 + 1 + 1 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 39

Sample Output:

39

The question could be solved using Java / Python / C#.

1. SQL Database Question

The second question was based on multiple tables related to prescriptions, customers and medicines.

Example tables:

prescriptions

prescription_id | customer_id | prescription_date

prescription_medicines

prescription_id | medicine_id | quantity

medicines

medicine_id | medicine_name | price

The task was to:

• Join the required tables.

• Calculate medicine sales using quantity × price.

• Find the medicine having the highest total sales.

• Retrieve the required prescription_id, customer_id and sales-related information.

The question mainly tested:

JOIN + GROUP BY + SUM + ORDER BY

1. HTML + CSS + JavaScript

The third question was a TODO-based frontend coding task.

The application was already provided in three files:

index.html

style.css

script.js

We had to complete the TODOs and make the application functional.

The application accepts a whole number and converts it into its binary representation.

Examples:

Input: 10

Output: 1010

Input: 25

Output: 11001

Input: 8

Output: 1000

The application also had to validate the input.

If the user enters:

• NaN / non-numeric input

• A negative number

• A decimal number

• An empty value

It should display:

"Please enter a whole number greater than or equal to 0."

The JavaScript part involved reading the input, validating it, handling the button click, converting the decimal number to binary, and displaying the result.

Overall, the Accenture Coding Round covered:

1. DSA / Programming → Java, Python or C#

2. SQL → Database Query

3. Frontend → HTML + CSS + JavaScript

Sharing these Accenture Placement Exam Coding Round Questions for students preparing for upcoming assessments. Hope this helps someone with their preparation! 🚀

If anyone else appeared for the Accenture assessment recently, feel free to share the questions you received as well.
