* Implemented minimum steps to one using tabulation. * Update minimum_steps_to_one.py Made the parameter "n" more descriptive. Changed it to number * `n` to `number` Co-authored-by: John Law <johnlaw.po@gmail.com>

|
Given an integer n, return the minimum steps to 1
|
|
|
|
AVAILABLE STEPS:
|
|
* Decrement by 1
|
|
* if n is divisible by 2, divide by 2
|
|
* if n is divisible by 3, divide by 3
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example 1: n = 10
|
|
10 -> 9 -> 3 -> 1
|
|
Result: 3 steps
|
|
|
|
Example 2: n = 15
|
|
15 -> 5 -> 4 -> 2 -> 1
|
|
Result: 4 steps
|
|
|
|
Example 3: n = 6
|
|
6 -> 2 -> 1
|
|
Result: 2 step
