DIFFICULTY:

Cakewalk

PREREQUISITES:

None

PROBLEM:

Chef’s excitement starts at Y on the first day of the month, and increases by 1 every day.
What will it be on the X-th day of the month?

EXPLANATION:

The excitement starts at 1 and increases by 1 for each day that passes.

From the 1-st of the month to the X-th, exactly (X-1) days will pass.
So, Chef’s excitement will also increase by exactly (X-1) from its starting value.
The answer is thus

Y + (X-1)

TIME COMPLEXITY:

\mathcal{O}(1) per testcase.

CODE:
