Problem statement: Number Line Jumps
You are choreographing a circus show with various animals. For one act, you are given two kangaroos on a number line ready to jump in the positive direction (i.e, toward positive infinity).
- The first kangaroo starts at location x1 and moves at a rate of v1 meters per jump.
- The second kangaroo starts at location x2 and moves at a rate of v2 meters per jump.
You have to figure out a way to get both kangaroos at the same location at the same time as part of the show. If it is possible, return YES, otherwise return NO.
Function Description
kangaroo has the following parameter(s):
- int x1, int v1: starting position and jump distance for kangaroo 1
- int x2, int v2: starting position and jump distance for kangaroo 2
Returns
string: either YES or NO
Example
kangaroo(2,1,1,2)
x1=2
v1=1
x2=1
v2=2
After one jump, they are both at x=3, (x1+v1=2+1,x2+v2=1+2 ), so the answer is YES.
