1- Given an array with 'N' elements, you are expected to find the
sum of the values that are present in prime indexes of the array.
Note that the array index starts with 0 i.e. the position (index) on the first array element is 0, the
position of the next array element is 1 and so on.

• Input:
。 arr = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]
。 N = len(arr)
• Explanation: The array indexes are: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]. The prime indexes are: 2, 3, 5, 7.
The elements at these indexes are: [30, 40, 60, 80].
The sum of these elements is: 30 +40 +60 +80 = 210.

Output: 210

2- You are given a string S and your task is to find and return the count of permutation formed
by fixing the positions of the vowels present in the string.

Note:
• Ensure the result is non-negative. If there are no consonants then return O.
Input: ABC
A. BC > b

Output: 2

3- Even Odd

Jack has an array A of length N. He wants to label whether

the number in the array is even or odd. Your task is to help
him find and return a string with labels even or odd in
sequence according to which the numbers appear in the
Array.
.
Input Specification:

input1: An integer array A, representing the array of

numbers
input2: A integer N, representing the length of array

Output Specification:

Return a string with labels even or odd in sequence

according to which the numbers appear in the array.
4- Rotate an Array

You are given an array and an integer k, where is a non-negative

integer. Your task is to rotate the array to the right by k steps.

Write a Program that takes an array of integers, the number of

elements in the array, and an integer as input and rotates the
array to the right by k steps.

Example:
n=7
nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7)
k=3 rotate(nums, n, k)
#nums after rotation: [5,6,7,1,2,3,4]
