why is cnt2 multiplied by 2?

#6

because there we are calculating the sum there:
if there are total 5 candies like this: 1 1 2 2 2
total 2 weight candies are : 3 (cnt2)
total 1 weight candies are : 2 (cnt1)
so the sum is cnt1+2*cnt2=8.
got it?
if you still have any doubt you can ask here;
Happy Learning!!
