Hello @kaustub what is the logic that you are using?

#3

Bhaiya i was first finding maximum number of chocaltes one children can get and then the remaining chocaltes .I think my code is all incorrect .Cna u please provide me a different approch or solution for the question

@kaustub yes please wait let me try this code:
i will tell you.

Hello @kaustub please see this explanation and the code also :
Initially we are assuming that we are distributing chocolates to students as : 1 , 2 , 3 , … , n ; if it is greater than c there is no point in distributing.

Now, we will subtract n*(n+1)/2 from c; res will be remaining chocolates now we will divide it with n to check if we can give additional chocolates to each of student.

The number which comes after division will be the no. of additional chocolates that can be distributed to each of candidates and remainder will be the answer that is minimum chocolate left.
Here for your reference i am attaching the code:


if you have any further doubt you can ask here:
