There is a 100-story building and you are given two eggs.
The eggs (and the building) have an interesting property
that if you throw the egg from a floor number less than X,
it will not break. And it will always brake if the floor
number is equal or greater than X. Assuming that you can
reuse the eggs which didn't broke; you got to find X in a
minimal number of throws. Give an algorithm to find X in
minimal number of throws.

We are confused by the telling of this puzzle. Does the question really ask the minimum number of throws, or the minimum number of eggs? The second possibility is suggested by the clause, "Assuming that you can reuse the eggs which didn't [brake]." One answer here has made that presumption, starting at the first floor and going up floor by floor.

Sir,please help me out with the code of this question. Write an interactive C program that will encode or decode multiple lines of text. Store the encoded text within a data file, so that it can be retrieved and decoded at any time. The program should include the following features: (a) Enter text from the keyboard, encode the text and store the encoded text in a data file. (b) Retrieve the encoded text and display it in its encoded form. (c) Retrieve the encoded text, decode it and then display the decoded text. (d) End the computation. Test the program using several lines of text of your choice.
