TippingWaiters

Problem statement, definition, constraints, and public examples.

Problem Statement

In a restaurant, if you were pleased by the waiter's service, you may leave him a tip -- you pay him more than the actual value of the bill, and the waiter keeps the excess money. In some countries, not leaving a tip for the waiter is even considered impolite. During my recent holiday I was having dinner in a foreign restaurant. The pamphlet from my travel agency informed me that the proper way of tipping the waiter is the following:
  • The sum I pay must be round, i.e., divisible by 5.
  • The tip must be between 5% and 10% of the final sum I pay, inclusive.
Clearly, sometimes there may be multiple "correct" ways of settling the bill. I'd like to know exactly how many choices I have in a given situation. I could program it easily, but I was having a holiday... and so it's you who has to solve this task. You will be given:
  • an int bill -- the amount I have to pay for the dinner
  • an int cash -- the amount of money I have in my pocket
Write a function that computes how many different final sums satisfy the conditions above.

Definition

Class:
TippingWaiters
Method:
possiblePayments
Parameters:
int, int
Returns:
int
Method signature:
int possiblePayments(int bill, int cash)
(be sure your method is public)

Notes

  • Assume that both bill and cash are in dollars.
  • All the money I have is in one-dollar banknotes.

Constraints

  • bill and cash are between 1 and 2,000,000,000, inclusive.
  • bill doesn't exceed cash.

Examples

  1. 4
    100
    Returns: 0
    4 isn't a round sum, and 5 is too much.
  2. 23
    100
    Returns: 1
    The only correct choice is to pay 25 dollars, thus leaving a tip of 2 dollars.
  3. 23
    24
    Returns: 0
    The same bill, but I don't have enough money to leave an appropriate tip.
  4. 220
    239
    Returns: 1
    This time, it is appropriate to pay either 235 or 240 dollars. Sadly, I don't have enough money for the second possibility.
  5. 1234567
    12345678
    Returns: 14440
    A large bill, but with that much money I don't care.
  6. 1880000000
    1980000000
    Returns: 210527
  7. 171000000
    179999999
    Returns: 0
