The distinction between "formula" and "algorithm" is blurred. Anyway, look at the point value. This problem's only worth 5 points, so there's a good chance that the solution is short and simple. Try w... |

and to maximize the num of jumps, it is practically going to occupy the space of 4 on the number line. |

Is there a specific formula for it like chocolate bar? if so, can someone give me test cases? |

In a certain sense the kangaroos indeed cannot jump away from one another. I thought the problem statement was very clear. If the kangaroos are at positions x, y, z, where x < y < z, then either the k... |

can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Does the question mean that these kangaroos cant jump away from one another? like can one of them go towards the end of the number line? |
