Given an integer n, return the minimum steps from n 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
