This is more of a math/algorithm question than a programming question, but I hope you guys can help anyway.
Scenario #1:
Player 1 has 40
crates
in his inventory.Player 1 has 2
trucks
,1x
small
(capacity: 8 crates)1x
medium
(capacity: 16 crates)
Given
capacity
:A
small
truck can hold 8 cratesA
medium
truck can hold 16 cratesA
large
truck can hold 30 crates
How many trucks does player 1 need to be able to take all 40 crates?
Scenario #2, what happens if there is cargo already in trucks?
Player 1 has 40 crates and 2 trucks as above scenario.
If
small
already has 2 crates in its load, giving him 8-2 = 6 spaceIf
medium
already has 4 crates in its load, giving him 16-4 = 8 spaceHow many trucks does player 1 need to take all 40 crates? What would the algorithm be?
Scenario #3: No trucks
Player 1 has 0 trucks at all. How many trucks does he need to take all 40 crates? Again, what is the algoritm you would use?
Scenario #4: Too many trucks
Player 1 has 10 trucks, all at
large
capacity. How many trucks does it take to ship all 40 crates?
I'm thinking.
Scenario 1,
2 trucks, 1 small = 8 and 1 medium = 16
8+16 = 24 crates
40 - 24 = 16 trucks?? // This looks wrong.
Costs of trucks are done earlier on (you buy them first).
I think my algorithm is wrong. Do I need to divide it by a base number? Do I divide it by trucks?
Any help on this would be very helpful.
