I am working on a challenge from codefights.com. Here is the description:
Some phone usage rate may be described as follows:
first minute of a call costs min1 cents,
each minute from the 2nd up to 10th (inclusive) costs min2_10 cents
each minute after 10th costs min11 cents.
You have s cents on your account before the call. What is the duration of the longest call (in minutes rounded down to the nearest integer) you can have?Example
For min1 = 3, min2_10 = 1, min11 = 2 and s = 20, the output should be
phoneCall(min1, min2_10, min11, s) = 14.Here’s why:
the first minute costs 3 cents, which leaves you with 20 - 3 = 17 cents;
the total cost of minutes 2 through 10 is 1 * 9 = 9, so you can talk 9 more minutes and still have 17 - 9 = 8 cents;
each next minute costs 2 cents, which means that you can talk 8 / 2 = 4 more minutes.
Thus, the longest call you can make is 1 + 9 + 4 = 14 minutes long.
Here is my code:
function phoneCall(min1, min2_10, min11, s) {
let cents = s - min1;
let minutes = 1;
while (cents > 1) {
minutes++;
if (minutes <= 10) {
cents -= min2_10;
}
if (minutes > 10) {
cents -= min11;
}
}
return minutes;
}
console.log(phoneCall(2,2,1,24));
My code outputs 13
when it should output 14
. Where have I gone wrong?
Here are some of the tests:
phoneCall(3,1,2,20); phoneCall(10,1,2,22); phoneCall(1,2,1,6);
Thank you.
