Zopper Programming Assessment Problem 2 with solution

This is the second problem from HackerEarth that I tried for the friend for interview:

Problem:
HackerMan says that 5 and 8 are smart digits. A positive integer is called a smart number if it has only smart digits in its decimal representation.
HackerMan has three sets of numbers. And he needs your help to find out the number of distinct smart numbers that he can make using one number from each of the three sets. You have to help in it
Note: You must not count the same smart number more than once.
Constraints
  • The three sets will contain between 1 and 50 elements, inclusive.
  • Each number in the three sets will contain numbers between 1 and 30,000, inclusive.
Input Format
  • The first, third and fifth lines will contain a number N that will specify the count of numbers in the sets on the second, fourth and sixth lines of input.
  • The second, fourth and sixth line will contain the three sets of numbers respectively.
Output Format
Print a single line containing the count of distinct smart numbers.

Sample Input 
3
3 5 4
3
2 1 3
3
2 1 5
Sample Output
2
Explanation
We have two smart numbers 5 = 3 + 1 + 1 and 8 = 5 + 2 + 1. 8 can be also expressed as 4 + 2 + 2, but you must not count 8 twice.

Time Limit: 2 sec(s) for each input file.
Memory Limit: 256 MB
Source Limit: 1024 KB
Marking Scheme: Marks are awarded if any testcase passes.
Allowed languages: C, C++, Clojure, Go, Haskell, C#, Java, JavaScript, Objective-C, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby

Why India Hasn’t Built Its GPT Moment (Yet)

India has the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, a thriving developer base, and a mobile-first population larger than the US and Europe combined. Yet, no GPT-4. No DeepMind. No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.
