HackerRank - Equal | Full Solution with Simplified Examples and Visuals | Study Algorithms

In this problem you want to ensure that all the employees have an equal number of chocolate distribution. However, you can only give 1, 2, or 5 chocolates at a time. You give chocolates to everyone but 1 employee. In this video I explain the test cases to understand it in a perfect way. Then watch the video to see how I simplify the problem using a very neat trick. All along with visuals and explanations.
