// A small frog wants to get to the other side of the road. | |
// The frog is currently located at position X and wants to get to a position greater than or equal to Y. | |
// The small frog always jumps a fixed distance, D. | |
// Count the minimal number of jumps that the small frog must perform to reach its target. | |
// Write a function that, given three integers X, Y and D, returns the minimal number of jumps from position X to a position equal to or greater than Y. | |
// For example, given: | |
// X = 10 | |
// Y = 85 | |
// D = 30 the function should return 3 | |
numeric function solution( | |
required numeric X, | |
required numeric Y, | |
required numeric D) | |
{ | |
// Write function code here | |
// then press "run code" to | |
// check it | |
answer = ceiling((arguments.y - arguments.x) / arguments.d); | |
return answer; | |
