Answer 4

zack
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int bCount(string map) {
int blocks = 0;
int houseIndx = map.find('H');
int pondIndx = map.find('P');

if(pondIndx < houseIndx ){
for(int i = pondIndx+1 ; i <= houseIndx-1 ; i++)
blocks += 1;
}
if(pondIndx > houseIndx ){
for(int i = houseIndx+1 ; i <= pondIndx-1 ; i++)
blocks += 1;
}

return blocks;
}

int main() {
string map;
cin >> map;
cout << bCount(map);
return 0;
}

Answer 5

zack lol i came up with this

Answer 6

It is pretty scummy of SoloLearn to change the order of H & P in the hidden cases. It would be much nicer if they did it in the visible test cases.
