2591. Distribute Money to Maximum Children

Leetcode Solutions

Maximize Children Receiving Dollars

  1. Check if the total money is less than the number of children. If so, return -1 since it's impossible to distribute the money according to the rules.
  2. Subtract the number of children from the total money to account for the minimum 1 dollar each child must receive.
  3. Initialize a counter for the number of children who receive exactly 8 dollars.
  4. Iterate over the children, and for each child, check if there is enough money left to give them an additional 7 dollars.
  5. If there is enough money, increment the counter and subtract 7 from the remaining money.
  6. If there is not enough money or we have reached the second last child, break the loop.
  7. Check the remaining money. If it's 3 dollars and the counter equals the number of children minus 1, decrement the counter by 1.
  8. Return the counter as the result.
