Viral Advertising


Problem Statement :


HackerLand Enterprise is adopting a new viral advertising strategy. When they launch a new product, they advertise it to exactly 5 people on social media.

On the first day, half of those 5 people (i.e., floor(5/2) = 2 ) like the advertisement and each shares it with 3 of their friends. At the beginning of the second day, floor(5/2)*3 = 2*3 = 6 people receive the advertisement.

Each day, floor(recipients/2) of the recipients like the advertisement and will share it with 3 friends on the following day. Assuming nobody receives the advertisement twice, determine how many people have liked the ad by the end of a given day, beginning with launch day as day 1.

Example
.n = 5

Day Shared Liked Cumulative
1      5     2       2
2      6     3       5
3      9     4       9
4     12     6      15
5     18     9      24
The progression is shown above. The cumulative number of likes on the 5th day is 24.

viralAdvertising has the following parameter(s):
int n: the day number to report

Returns

int: the cumulative likes at that day

                            Solution in C :

python 3  :

people = 5
total = 0
n = int(input())

for i in range(n):
	receive = int(people/2)
	total+=receive
	people = receive*3
print(total)
