Indian Development Group

I am looking to setup a small permanent development team, preferably in India, to continue the development of a logistics application. The application is already developed and in the market. Development is in ASP.net with SQL2000 a database backend and makes extensive use of XML Web services.

Initially I am looking to recruit a lead manager to come to Europe for training on the project for two or three months, After that time the lead manager will return to India to setup a small softwaredevelopment group. Only candidates with exceptional capabilities should apply as references will be checked. The initial recruit needs to have at least a graduate degree in computer programming and extensive experience in ASP.net. Post graduate qualifications are an advantage. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are vital.

Trust and loyalty are characteristics highly valued by our company and will be necessary on both sides because of the distances involved. In the long term this recruit must manage the development team financially and technically. Possibly, a subsidiary company will be formed in India. This will be a strategic long term investment by our company and a similar long term commitment from the candidate will be required.

The Program

You will write a program which will prompt the user to enter a string and accept the string using service 8. It will then count the number of occurrences of each character in the user's input and display the count. Running the program may look like the following (user's input is in italics):

-> I regret that I have but one program to write. : 9.: 1I: 2a: 3b: 1e: 5g: 2h: 2i: 1m: 1n: 1o: 3p: 1r: 5t: 6u: 1v: 1w: 1

Internals

You will create a "count" array of 128 bytes, one for each ASCII character. Initialize this array to all 0s. After you read input using service 8, go through the input array and for each character in the array add one to the position in the count array which has the current character's ASCII code for its index. For example, if the current character is 'A' you will increment position 65 in the count array. To display the counts run a loop reading the count array from position 32 to position 127 and whenever the value found is greater than 0 display the character having the ASCII code of the current index and display the count found in that position of the array.

You must make significant and appropriate use of procedures in your program. Your program should show a clearly thought-out design and good organization.

Notes:

You will need a character array for user input. It should be at least 80 bytes long.

When displaying the counts you can skip positions 0 through 31 in the count array since these correspond to ASCII codes for non-printing characters. When you read or write to the count array remember that you are reading or writing bytes not words.

Hi,

We are a small software development company in Bangalore. We can help you setup as an Offshore Development Center(ODC) within our premises, and also recruit and manage your team on a monthly charge basis, till you are ready to go it alone completely, which should help you save on overhead costs significantly. We are quite good at .NET and SQL Server. Let me know if you are interested in such an option or other offshore development services at any time.You can email me at bobby.varghese@sysfore.com. We can talk on other possibilities also.

thanks.
