Cross-checking rating equation logic
I’ll zoom in on a small section to verify, but the important part is the equation: he participates in n games, gaining a points for a win and losing b points for a loss. The task is to find how many wins he can have such that his rating is back to the initial value. If it’s impossible, output -1. Ok, let's sort this out.
Evaluating win count with equation constraints
I need to compute the maximum number of wins, w, where 0 ≤ w ≤ n. The equation simplifies to w = b*n / (a + b). To make sure w is valid, it must be an integer and satisfy the condition w ≤ n. Let me check if this condition holds for different values of n, a, and b.
Analyzing the edge cases and constraints
I’m confirming that the condition bn≤n(a+b) holds true except for when n=0. For n=0, the solution is clear, w=0. The challenge is when a=0, as wins won’t change the rating. For these cases, w=n, and it holds based on the equation.
Handling the special case of a = 0 and b = 0
If b=0, losses don't affect the rating, and the formula still works with w=0. However, if both a and b are 0, the formula becomes undefined due to the 0/0 division. In this case, no rating change means any combination of wins and losses is valid, but since he wants the maximum wins, w=n works as the solution.
Verifying edge cases and conditions
When both a=0 and b=0, the rating remains constant, and any combination of wins and losses works. If n=0, the win count must be 0. Otherwise, I just need to check for divisibility using the formula and ensure results fit in the constraints. The solution checks divisibility and handles up to 1e9.
Finalizing Python code solution
The problem is straightforward in Python. Essentially, when both a and b are zero, the solution is w=n. Otherwise, I check if the equation can be satisfied by confirming if the product b×n is divisible evenly by a+b. If it’s not, the solution is “-1.”
Here’s the final code:
python
n,a,b = map(int, input().split())
if a==0 and b==0:
print(n)
else:
s=a+b
x = b*n
if x % s != 0:
print(-1)
else:
print(x//s)
