Program to find minimum number of lectures to attend to maintain 75%

Last Updated : 23 Aug, 2022

Consider the subject Data Structures for which the total number of classes held till present date is M , and some students attend only N out of these classes. Find the minimum number of lectures they have to attend so that their 75\% attendance is maintained.

Examples:

Input : M = 7 and N = 6
Output : 0 lectures to attend
As 7 classes have been held till present, out of which 6 classes have been attended, which is greater than
75%, so no more lectures to attend

Input : M = 9 and N = 1
Output : 23 lectures to attend
Out of 9 classes, only 1 class is attended. After 23 more classes, a total of 1+23 = 24 classes
have been attended and the total number of classes held = 9+23 = 32. So 24/32 = 75%. Hence 23 is
the minimum value.

Solution:
Using the formula,
Ceil\left (\frac{(0.75*M)-N}{0.25} \right )
Before applying the formula, first, check whether N by M has 75% or not. If not, then apply the formula

// to maintain 75% attendance

#include <cmath>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to compute minimum lecture
int minimumLectures(int m, int n)
{
    int ans = 0;

    // Formula to compute
    if (n < (int)ceil(0.75 * m))
        ans = (int)ceil(((0.75 * m) - n) / 0.25);
    else
        ans = 0;

    return ans;
}

    int M = 9, N = 1;
    cout << minimumLectures(M, N);
    return 0;
