C++ code to find max ornaments to make decoration good
Suppose we have three numbers y, b and r. There are y yellow ornaments, b blue ornaments and r red ornaments for decoration. A decoration will be beautiful, if the number of blue ornaments used is greater by exactly 1 than the number of yellow ornaments, and the number of red ornaments used is greater by exactly 1 than the number of blue ornaments. We want to choose as many ornaments as possible and also want to make our decoration good. We have to find the maximum number of ornaments used for a beautiful decoration.
So, if the input is like y = 8; b = 13; r = 9, then the output will be 24, because 7 + 8 + 9 = 24.
Steps
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
return 3 * (minimum of y, (b - 1) and (r - 2))
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int solve(int y, int b, int r){ return 3 * min(y, min(b - 1, r - 2)) + 3; } int main(){ int y = 8; int b = 13; int r = 9; cout << solve(y, b, r) << endl; }
Input
8, 13, 9
Output
24
