Hi
I got 5 tiles of 500x500 units lined up next to eachother. From left to right: tile 1 is always 500x500, tile 2 can have a variable size but is maximum 500 units, tile 3 is always 500x500, tile 4 has the same properties as tile 2, and tile 5 is always 500x500. When I increase the distance that needs to be covered with tiles, tile 2 and 4 should adjust accordingly and tile 3 should be duplicated.
For example: If I want a distance of 5700 to be covered with tiles, the line up from left to right should be 500x500 - 500x350 - 8 tiles of 500x500 - 500x350 - 500x500
How can I achieve this?
Here's how you can achieve the desired tile arrangement with variable tile sizes and duplication based on the total distance to be covered:
1. Define Variables:
total_distance = 5700 # Replace with your desired distance fixed_tile_width = 500 max_variable_width = 500 # Initialize variables to store tile layout num_fixed_tiles = 2 # Number of fixed-size tiles (1 and 5) variable_tile_width = 0 # Width of each variable tile (2 and 4) num_variable_tiles = 0 # Number of variable tiles
2. Calculate Available Space:
available_space = total_distance - (num_fixed_tiles * fixed_tile_width)
3. Determine Variable Tile Width:
# Check if available space is enough for even distribution of variable tiles if available_space >= 2 * max_variable_width: variable_tile_width = max_variable_width else: # If not enough space, allocate remaining space equally to variable tiles variable_tile_width = available_space // 2
4. Calculate Number of Variable Tiles:
num_variable_tiles = available_space // variable_tile_width
5. Calculate Number of Duplicated Tiles (Tile 3):
num_duplicate_tiles = (available_space + fixed_tile_width) // fixed_tile_width - 1
6. Print/Display the Tile Layout:
print("Tile Layout:") print(f"{num_fixed_tiles} tiles of {fixed_tile_width}x{fixed_tile_width}") print(f"{num_variable_tiles} tiles of {variable_tile_width}x{fixed_tile_width}") print(f"{num_duplicate_tiles} tiles of {fixed_tile_width}x{fixed_tile_width} (duplicated)")
Explanation:
Example Output (for total_distance = 5700):
Tile Layout: 2 tiles of 500x500 2 tiles of 350x500 8 tiles of 500x500 1 tile of 500x500 (duplicated)
