Hello Programmers, In this post, you will know how to solve the HackerRank Chocolate Feast Solution. This problem is a part of the HackerRank Algorithms Series.
One more thing to add, don’t directly look for the solutions, first try to solve the problems of Hackerrank by yourself. If you find any difficulty after trying several times, then you can look for solutions.
HackerRank Chocolate Feast Solution
Task
Little Bobby loves chocolate. He frequently goes to his favorite 5 & 10 store, Penny Auntie, to buy them. They are having a promotion at Penny Auntie. If Bobby saves enough wrappers, he can turn them in for a free chocolate.
Example
n = 15
c = 3
m = 2
He has 15 to spend, bars cost 3, and he can turn in 2 wrappers to receive another bar. Initially, he buys 5 bars and has 5 wrappers after eating them. He turns in 4 of them, leaving him with 1, for 2 more bars. After eating those two, he has 3 wrappers, turns in 2 leaving him with 1 wrapper and his new bar. Once he eats that one, he has 2 wrappers and turns them in for another bar. After eating that one, he only has wrapper, and his feast ends. Overall, he has eaten 5 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9 bars.
Function Description
Complete the chocolateFeast function in the editor below.
chocolateFeast has the following parameter(s):
- int n: Bobby‘s initial amount of money
- int c: the cost of a chocolate bar
- int m: the number of wrappers he can turn in for a free bar
Returns
- int: the number of chocolates Bobby can eat after taking full advantage of the promotion
Note: Little Bobby will always turn in his wrappers if he has enough to get a free chocolate.
Input Format
The first line contains an integer, t, the number of test cases to analyze.
Each of the next t lines contains three space-separated integers: n, c, and m. They represent money to spend, cost of a chocolate, and the number of wrappers he can turn in for a free chocolate.
Constraints
- 1 <= t <= 1000
- 2 <= n <= 105
- 1 <= c <= n
- 2 <= m <= n
Sample Input
STDIN Function
—– ——–
3 t = 3 (test cases)
10 2 5 n = 10, c = 2, m = 5 (first test case)
12 4 4 n = 12, c = 4, m = 4 (second test case)
6 2 2 n = 6, c = 2, m = 2 (third test case)
Sample Output
6

5
Explanation
Bobby makes the following trips to the store:
- He spends 10 on 5 chocolates at 2 apiece. He then eats them and exchanges all 5 wrappers to get 1 more. He eats 6 chocolates.
- He spends his 12 on 3 chocolates at 4 apiece. He has 3 wrappers, but needs 4 to trade for his next chocolate. He eats 3 chocolates.
- He spends 6 on 3 chocolates at 2 apiece. He then exchanges 2 of the 3 wrappers for 1 additional piece. Next, he uses his third leftover chocolate wrapper from his initial purchase with the wrapper from his trade-in to do a second trade-in for 1 more piece. At this point he has 1 wrapper left, which is not enough to perform another trade–in. He eats 5 chocolates.
