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

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())

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

Global Universe 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); }

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

Distance = length of the well

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

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

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

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

but the exit condition is distance. remember this
