1. Question 1

   Longest Harmonic Pattern

   A harmonic pattern in a string is a pattern where the string starts with 'ab' and repeats itself with one additional alphabet in alphabetical order. The moment this pattern breaks, the string is no longer in harmonic pattern. You are given a string S, and you have to find and return an integer value representing the largest contiguous substring which is in harmonic pattern.

   Input Specification:

   input1: A string value S

   Output Specification:

   Return an integer value representing the largest contiguous substring which is in harmonic pattern.

   Example 1:

   input1: ababcabc

   Output: 5

2. Question 2

   Extract Action and Device from Command

   You are developing a simple module for a home automation AI system. The system receives:

   1. A string W of valid action words (space-separated).
   2. Exactly one command sentence S which contains:
      • Exactly one action word from the given list
      • Exactly one device word.

   Your task is to find and return a string representing the action word and the device word in the sentence. If the sentence does not contain a valid action or device, return "None".

   Note:

   • The device word is assumed to be the word immediately after the action word, or after the word "the" if "the" appears between the action and device.
   • The sentence may contain other words before or after the action-device pair.

   Input Specification: input1: A string W, representing space-separated action words. input2: A string S, representing a single command sentence.

   Output Specification: Return a string value representing the action word and the device word in the sentence.
