halloween candy solution!

anyone have a better solution? Mine works but it feels janky: houses = int(input()) #your code goes here dollarchance = 2 / houses percent = (dollarchance * 100) + .5 print(round(percent))

Here you go. In Java. import java.util.Scanner; public class Program { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); int houses = input.nextInt(); //your code goes here double percent =200; //your code goes here if(houses>=3){ percent /=houses; System.out.println((int)Math.ceil(percent)); } } }

Brenner Pieszak has added 0.5 as he is using Math.round The 0.5 will tip any random fraction to over 0.5, but under 1.5 which will always be rounded to 1 When we compare with Ore, the formula used here is Math.ceil which in itself does the work of adding 0.5. Hope what I said is comprehensible 😊

0.5 is used because if the round function is used on its own, if the number after the decimal is less than 5 (such as 30.4) then it will return 30, whereas we want it to return 31, using "+0.5" turns "30.4 into "30.9" which can then be used by the round function to make 31. Hope that helps :)

houses = int(input()) #your code goes here print (round(2 / houses * 100 + 0.5) )

sorry, can someone explain to me why add `+0.5` to percent?

This is for you C# bros out there.😎 using System; double houses; double percent; houses = Convert.ToInt32(Console.ReadLine()); percent = Convert.ToInt32((2 / houses) * 100 + 0.5); Console.WriteLine(percent);
