Question

Based on a lottery winning you are required to create a pseudo code on the following criteria:

Assumption there is 1 million dollars to be won and will be split as

There are 3 tickets

6 numbers - wins jackpot, this could be shared amongst the 3 tickets

5 numbers - 40% of the winning, if there was no jackpot, and can also be shared amongst winning tickets

4 numbers 20% of 1 million, if there was no jackpot, and can also be shared amongst winning tickets

3 numbers get a free ticket for next time lottery is played.

You are required to share your pseudo code and critic and or under stand submissions, and why such approaches were taken.

Explanation / Answer

//algorithm

As per your question I am considering there are four type of tickets

1. 3 length : for these all we will issue tickets free next time they played

2. 4 length : for these all if any one wins jackpot he can win $20,000

3. 5 length : for these all if any one wins jackpot he can win $40,000

4. 6 length : for these all if any one wins jackpot he can win the remaining amount of 1M.

we can create 4 queue for this and then check if any one is winning or not. first queue is foe 3 length tickets , second for 4 length so on....

amount -> 1000000

tickets[n]

vector<int> T[4]

for all tickets i -> 1 to n

if tickets[i] length is equal to 3

T[0] add this

if tickets[i] length is equal to 4

T[1] add this

if tickets[i] length is equal to 5

T[2] add this

if tickets[i] length is equal to 6

T[3] add this

//now we need to calculate winning amount

//for all tickets in first list will eligible for free tickets next time they played

for i-> 0 to tickets[1].size()

if tickets[0][i] wins jackpot then

amount = amount - 2000000

for i-> 0 to tickets[2].size()

if tickets[0][i] wins jackpot then

amount = amount - 4000000

for i-> 0 to tickets[3].size()

if(tickets[0][i] wins jackpot then

remaining amount is wins by this user.

I used above approach as we have to find out the amount won in jackpot. for before calculating jackpot amount for 6 length tickets user we need to find out if any tickets of length 4 or 5 wins jackpot if they wins then we need to subtract that amount from jackpot amount and reaming amount will be won by 6 length ticket in jackpot.

if you find above approach helpful then thumbs up this one or let me now in comment for any understanding.
