Visa Medium csharp

Add Two Numbers

Animated walkthrough

Step through the algorithm visually — use Play or the step buttons (inspired by AlgoMaster / visualgo).

Step 1 / 1

Visa interview context: Add Two Numbers is a Medium Linked List problem — Fast/slow pointers or in-place reversal — draw pointers before coding.

Use the animation above to step through each move before writing code.

Pattern: Linked List

Read from stdin, write to stdout. Classic interview problem #2.

Problem

Add Two Numbers — Visa interview prep · Linked List

Classic interview problem #2.

Input (stdin)

Line 1: l1 digits\nLine 2: l2 digits

Output (stdout)

Sum list digits (reverse order)

Your program must read from stdin and write the answer to stdout (no extra debug text).

class Program
{
    static int[] Ria(string line = null)
    {
        line ??= Console.ReadLine();
        if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line)) return Array.Empty<int>();
        return line.Trim().Split(new[] { ' ', ',', '\t' }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
            .Select(int.Parse).ToArray();
    }
    static string[] Rsa()
    {
        int n = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
        var arr = new string[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) arr[i] = Console.ReadLine();
        return arr;
    }
    static void W(params object[] parts) => Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", parts));
    static void Wb(bool v) => Console.WriteLine(v ? "true" : "false");
    static void Wi(int v) => Console.WriteLine(v);
    static void Ws(string v) => Console.WriteLine(v);

    static void Main()
    {
var a = Ria();
var b = Ria(Console.ReadLine());
var sum = new Stack<int>();
int carry = 0, i = a.Length - 1, j = b.Length - 1;
while (i >= 0 || j >= 0 || carry > 0) {
    int s = carry;
    if (i >= 0) s += a[i--];
    if (j >= 0) s += b[j--];
    sum.Push(s % 10);
    carry = s / 10;
}
W(string.Join(" ", sum));
    }
}
