See below for programming solution for general k eggs and n floors.
Eggs and floors java.
A building has 100 floors.
2 if egg does not break we try next from 7 th floor.
If egg breaks on 27 th floor we try floors form 15 to 26.
Eggs 1 floors x.
Either egg will break or egg will not break.
Eggs and floors essentially nikita rybak s algo i added some color commentary.
So in worst case x times an egg needs to be dropped to find the solution.
For example if the property of the eggs is that n equals 15 those eggs will always break on any floor higher than or equal to the 15th floor but those eggs will never break on any floor below floor 15.
Play safe and drop from floor 1 if egg does not break then drop from floor 2 and so on.
You are given 2 eggs.
Two cases arise 1 if egg breaks we have one egg left so we need three more trials.
If egg breaks we one by one try remaining 13 floors.
No trials are required.

If it is dropped from that.
Eggs can be very hard or very fragile means it may break if dropped from the first floor or may not even break if dropped from 100 th floor both eggs are identical.
When we drop an egg from a floor x there can be two cases 1 the egg breaks 2 the egg doesn t break.
For rest of the case if an egg is dropped from x th floor then there are only 2 outcomes which are possible.
1 trails is required.
Again two cases arise.
This problem is a specific case of n eggs and k floors.
K 10 output.
Java math abs round ceil floor min methods with example.
Eggs and floors java package com standardwisdom puzzles.
4 we first try from 4 th floor.
The optimal number of trials is 14 in worst case.
You need to figure out the highest floor of a 100 storey building an egg can be dropped without breaking.
If the egg breaks after dropping from xth floor then we only need to check for floors lower than x with remaining eggs.
If egg doesn t break we go to 27th floor.
Java has had several advanced usage application including working with complex calculations in physics architecture designing of structures working with maps and corresponding latitudes longitudes etc.
But increasing the floor every time by x is not a very nice idea as with each new increase in egg 1 drop we should decrease egg 2 drops to minimize worst case number.
So the problem reduces to x 1 floors and n 1 eggs.
You have access to a 100 storey building.
So if we drop egg 1 from xth floor initially then in next turn we should try x x 1 th floor to keep the worst case number same.
What this means is that the egg will not break when dropped from any floor below floor n but the egg will definitely break from any floor above floor n including floor n itself.
One of the floors is the highest floor an egg can be dropped from without breaking.
