You have a total of n coins that you want to form in a staircase shape, where every k-th row must have exactly k coins.
Given n, find the total number of full staircase rows that can be formed.
n is a non-negative integer and fits within the range of a 32-bit signed integer.
Example 1:
n = 5
The coins can form the following rows:
¤
¤ ¤
¤ ¤
Because the 3rd row is incomplete, we return 2.
Example 2:
n = 8
The coins can form the following rows:
¤
¤ ¤
¤ ¤ ¤
¤ ¤
Because the 4th row is incomplete, we return 3.
class Solution {
public int arrangeCoins(int n)
{
if(n == 0)
return 0;
if(n == 1)
return 1;
int stairs = 0;
int newLevel = 0;
int coins = n;
while(coins >= 0)
{
newLevel++;
coins = coins - newLevel;
if(coins >= 0)
stairs++;
}
return stairs;
}
