// Task description
// A small frog wants to get to the other side of the road. The frog is currently located at position X and wants to get to a position greater than or equal to Y. The small frog always jumps a fixed distance, D.
// Count the minimal number of jumps that the small frog must perform to reach its target.
// Write a function:
// function solution(X, Y, D);
// that, given three integers X, Y and D, returns the minimal number of jumps from position X to a position equal to or greater than Y.
// For example, given:
// X = 10
// Y = 85
// D = 30
// the function should return 3, because the frog will be positioned as follows:
// after the first jump, at position 10 + 30 = 40
// after the second jump, at position 10 + 30 + 30 = 70
// after the third jump, at position 10 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 100
// Write an efficient algorithm for the following assumptions:
// X, Y and D are integers within the range [1..1,000,000,000];
// X ≤ Y.
function solution(X, Y, D) {
// write your code in JavaScript (Node.js 8.9.4)
if (X == Y) {return 0}
else if (D > (Y-X)) { return 1}
else {
return Math.ceil((Y-X)/D)
}
}
