Problema
Ver traducciónOn each move, choose one rectangle and cut all the way across it, parallel to a side, making two rectangles with positive integer side lengths. Continue until every piece is a square. Squares may have different sizes. Count cuts, not pieces.
Implement rectangle_cutting(height, width).
Input
height: The starting rectangle height.
width: The starting rectangle width.
Output
Return the minimum number of cuts.
Restricciones
1 ≤ height, width ≤ 500. Rotation does not change the answer.
Ejemplos
Entrada:
width = 3
height = 2
Salida esperada:
expected = 2
Entrada:
long long width = 3;
long long height = 2;
Salida esperada:
long long expected = 2;
Entrada:
long width = 3;
long height = 2;
Salida esperada:
long expected = 2;
Explicación
Cut off a 2 × 2 square, leaving a 2 × 1 rectangle. One more cut splits the remainder into two unit squares.
Entrada:
width = 4
height = 4
Salida esperada:
expected = 0
Entrada:
long long width = 4;
long long height = 4;
Salida esperada:
long long expected = 0;
Entrada:
long width = 4;
long height = 4;
Salida esperada:
long expected = 0;
Explicación
The starting rectangle is already a square.
