Complexity
Input: You are given two integers representing the number of tomato slices and cheese slices.
Example: Input: tomatoSlices = 16, cheeseSlices = 7
Constraints:
• 0 <= tomatoSlices, cheeseSlices <= 10^7
Output: Return a list with the number of Jumbo and Small burgers or an empty list if it is not possible.
Example: Output: [1, 6]
Constraints:
• The number of burgers must use all of the given slices.
Goal: Determine how many Jumbo and Small burgers can be made using all the given tomato and cheese slices.
Steps:
• Calculate the number of Jumbo burgers (which require 4 tomato slices and 1 cheese slice).
• Calculate the number of Small burgers (which require 2 tomato slices and 1 cheese slice).
• Check if the total number of ingredients can be used exactly without any leftovers.
Goal: The solution must handle inputs within the specified limits efficiently.
Steps:
• 0 <= tomatoSlices, cheeseSlices <= 10^7
• The number of burger combinations should be calculated optimally.
Assumptions:
• There are always positive integer values for tomatoSlices and cheeseSlices.
Input: Input: tomatoSlices = 16, cheeseSlices = 7
Explanation: To make one Jumbo burger and six Small burgers, the total number of tomato slices and cheese slices will match exactly with the given inputs.
