Replay a day of stock movements
The warehouse log holds a day of movements for one part: positive for receipts, negative for picks. Replay them to get the closing figure.
- Stock can never go below zero. A pick larger than what is there empties the shelf and stops — it does not go negative.
- Because of that floor, the order matters: you cannot just add everything up.
StockAfterMoves(opening: int, moves: list<int>) → int
C# needs a compiler and Drill does not host one yet, so this page is the reference rather than an exercise: the problem, worked examples, and the solution in full. To type it out, the same problem runs in Python.
Where you start
public int StockAfterMoves(int opening, List<int> moves) {
}Worked examples
| Call | Result |
|---|---|
StockAfterMoves(10, new List<int> { -3, 5, -4 }) | 8 |
StockAfterMoves(10, new List<int> { -3, 5, -20 }) | 0 |
StockAfterMoves(5, new List<int> { -10, 3 }) | 3 |
StockAfterMoves(0, new List<int> { }) | 0 |
Hint
Apply one movement at a time and clamp at zero after each.
Reference solution in C#
public int StockAfterMoves(int opening, List<int> moves) {
int level = Math.Max(0, opening);
foreach (var m in moves) level = Math.Max(0, level + m);
return level;
}
