Let’s solve the Minimum Cuts to Divide a Circle problem using the Math and Geometry pattern.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given an integer n, determine the minimum number of cuts required to divide the circle into n equal slices. A valid cut in a circle is defined as one of the following:
A cut is represented by a straight line that passes through the circle’s center and touches two points on its edge.
A cut is represented by a straight line touching one point on the circle’s edge and center.
Examples of some valid and invalid cuts
Constraints:
1≤n≤100
Solution
To cut a circle into n slices, the process depends on the value of ...
