Are questions like this really still asked in programming interviews?

M=1, S=9, O=0, R=8, E= N - 1 for sure. Thus, there are 4 possibilities:

1. E=5, D=7, Y=2
2. E=6, D=7, Y=3
3. E=7, D=5, Y=2
4. E=7, D=6, Y=3

The question has a unique answer and that's the first setting you propose, the rest is unfortunately flawed. Keep in mind that different letters can't share the same value.
The errors:
2. N and D are both 7
3. R and N are both 8
4. R and N are both 8

Get a integer array with numbers 1-9 and 0.Also take a array with integers whose variables are a[]={s,e,n,d} and b[]={m,o,r} and make a for loop to add the two arrays a[] and b[] such that the values are equal for all the list of combinations.
