DIFFICULTY:

Cakewalk

PREREQUISITES:

None

PROBLEM:

There are two dishes: one with F_1 fat and P_1 protein, and another with F_2 fat and P_2 protein.
Which dish has a smaller difference between fat and protein?

EXPLANATION:

Let d_1 = |F_1 - P_1| be the difference between fat and protein for the first dish.
Similarly define d_2 = |F_2 - P_2| for the second dish.

Then,

  • If d_1 \lt d_2, the answer is "First".
  • If d_1 \gt d_2, the answer is "Second".
  • If d_1 = d_2, the answer is "Both".

TIME COMPLEXITY:

\mathcal{O}(1) per testcase.

CODE:

Editorialist's code (PyPy3) 
f1, p1, f2, p2 = map(int, input().split())
d1, d2 = abs(f1 - p1), abs(f2 - p2)
if d1 < d2: print('First')
elif d1 > d2: print('Second')
else: print('Both')
