Hi guys I have tried the "snail in the well " but now I'm stuck . I need a hand .

Question

function main() {
var depth = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
//your code goes here
for(var i = 0 ; i <= depth; i += 5){

}
if(depth % 5 == 0){

return depth/5
}

else if((depth/5 - i/5) < 0.5 ){

return (i/5)
}

else if((depth/5 - i/5) > 0.5){

return i/5 + 1
}

else{

}
}

console.log(main())

Answer 1

Hi! the depth variable is the distance that the snail must travel. during the day, it crawls 7 meters, at night it falls by two. you should create a variable where you should add 7 meters daily and compare it with depth. if the variable is greater than depth, then the snail crawled out. if not, the night comes and it falls 2 meters down

Answer 2

This is my code.
Try it:

function main() {
var depth = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
//your code goes here
var climb = 7;
var slip = 2;
var day = 0;
for(workdone=0;workdone<=depth;) {
day = day+1;
workdone = workdone+climb;
if(workdone>=depth){
break;
}
workdone = workdone-slip;

}
console.log(day);
}

Answer 3

What about the number of days ?

Answer 4

and you don't need them

Answer 5

But that is supposed to be the output??

Answer 6

no, the distance must be output (exit)

Answer 7

Check it again output is days taken until it is out of the well

Answer 8

Distance = length of the well

Answer 9

yes, the distance is the length of the well. don't get hung up on it. I'll tell you even more directly. create your own personal variable, add 7 meters every day. and compare it with distance every day. if the variable is larger-voila, the snail is free. if not, lower it 2 meters down

Answer 10

I'm novice please tell me if the route I've taken hold promise😁

Answer 11

your code is very confusing and not accurate. I've outlined the algorithm for you. try to implement it

Answer 12

Ok thanks

Answer 13

1.create your own personal variable,
2. add 7 meters every day.
3. compare it with distance every day.
4.if the variable is larger-voila, the snail is free -> end programm.
5. if not, lower it 2 meters down
6. new day is begin

Answer 14

Thanks again

Answer 15

- But that is supposed to be the output??
- And yes, in console.log() you must output number of days. Not main function

Answer 16

but the exit condition is distance. remember this

Answer 17

Ok
