🐄🌾🏠 Challenge: Cow Farm

Question

Each year every 2 cows in your farm has 1 calf. At first, you have x number of cows, but you need to have y. How many years does it take to breed them?

Example:

You have 6 cows:
x = 6
You need to have 12 cows:
y = 12

Year 0 (initial):
You have 6 cows.
Year 1:
6 cows bred and had 3 calves. Now you have 9 cows.
Year 2:
8 cows bred (1 cow didn't breed because it didn't have a partner) and had 4 calves. Now you have 13 cows.

Answer = 2 years

Answer 2

Pseudo code ok?
If so:

Int yearsBreeding (int cur, int goal){
if ((cur>=2) AND (goal>cur)){
int numYears=0;
while (cur < goal){
cur = cur + (cur/2);
numYears++;
}
return numYears;
}else{
return -1;
}
}
