Fruit Bowl

Question

Hello !
I don’t get where I made a mistake. Test 3-5 fail and I can’t see why?

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
int fruit = input.nextInt();
while(fruit%2!=0||fruit<0||fruit>Integer.MAX_VALUE){
fruit=input.nextInt();
}
int apples=fruit/2;
if(fruit==0||fruit<6)
System.out.println(0);
else{
if(apples<3)
System.out.println(0);
else
System.out.println(apples/3);
}
}
}

Answer 1

Georgi , I think you don't need loop, you don't even need so many conditions to check => you can solve it in 3-4 lines. Just perform the arithmetic operations => first read the fruits, then calculate the apples, then the pies and print the pies 🐱 Also avoid to put many conditions in an loop or if-else checks, because it could be difficult to follow the logical chain and find the mistake.

Answer 2
