PROBLEM:
In a football match, one team scores X goals and the other scores Y goals.
The match is interesting if they’re within two goals of each other.
Is this match interesting?
EXPLANATION:
The match is interesting if the difference between X and Y is at most 2.
There are a couple of ways to check this:
- Check if X-Y \le 2 and Y-X \le 2.
Note that both checks are needed since we don’t know which of X and Y is the larger one. - Alternately, use your language’s library functions. Most languages have the
absfunction to compute absolute difference, so just check ifabs(x-y)is \le 2 or not.
TIME COMPLEXITY:
\mathcal{O}(1) per testcase.
CODE:
Editorialist's code (PyPy3)
x, y = map(int, input().split())
print('Interesting' if abs(x-y) <= 2 else 'Boring')
