Interview Question- Boxes challenge - dynamic

kravmaguy · August 3, 2021, 8:51pm

I have written this code to solve for this challenge, although , it does not work well for large numbers. If I make a computations object should the key be the element at 0th index and its result be its computation? am I thinking about this correctly? I only care about the final computation.

The second function is just a recursive version of the first. The instructions are at the bottom of the file

const boxesDivider = (height) => {
  if (height <= 1) {
    return 0;
  }
  let computations={}
  let boxesholder = [height];
  let firstHalf,
    remainingHalf,
    toDivide,
    product = 0,
    pointer;
  while (boxesholder.length < height) {
    while (boxesholder[0] < 2) {
      pointer = boxesholder.splice(0, 1);
      boxesholder.push(pointer[0]);
    }
    toDivide = boxesholder[0];
    boxesholder.shift();
    if (toDivide % 2 === 0) {
      firstHalf = toDivide / 2;
