A small frog wants to get to the other side of the road. The frog is
currently located at position X and wants to get to a position greater
than or equal to Y. The small frog always jumps a fixed distance, D.
Count the minimal number of jumps that the small frog must perform to reach its target.
Write a function:
For example, given:
Count the minimal number of jumps that the small frog must perform to reach its target.
Write a function:
that, given three integers X, Y and D, returns the minimal number of jumps from position X to a position equal to or greater than Y.def solution(X, Y, D)
For example, given:
X = 10 Y = 85 D = 30the function should return 3, because the frog will be positioned as follows:
Assume that:
- after the first jump, at position 10 + 30 = 40
- after the second jump, at position 10 + 30 + 30 = 70
- after the third jump, at position 10 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 100
Complexity:
- X, Y and D are integers within the range [1..1,000,000,000];
- X ≤ Y.
- expected worst-case time complexity is O(1);
- expected worst-case space complexity is O(1).
D
Solution
#so the we are taking three argument... with function name solution
# we are taking distance between x and y to jump with distance variable
distance = Y - X
# if the distance and jump size is zero as reminder
if distance % D == 0:
return distance/D
else:
return distance/D + 1
