function candies (n , m ) {
  const candy = Math.floor(m / 3)



return candy * n
}

console.log(candies(3,10))

Problem: Candies Distribution Logic

Description

This function determines the total number of candies consumed by n children when given m total candies. The core constraint is that every child must eat an equal number of full candies. Any remaining candies that cannot be split equally are left over.

Implementation Details

• Parameters:
  • n: Number of children.
  • m: Total number of candies.
• Logic:
  • Find the integer distribution per child using Math.floor(m / n).
  • Multiply the result by the number of children to get the total consumed.
