Minimum Cuts to Divide a Circle

Explore how to calculate the minimum number of straight cuts through a circle's center to create n equal slices. This lesson helps you understand the geometry involved and apply logical reasoning to implement a solution. You'll practice these concepts in a coding environment to solidify your skills.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given an integer n, determine the minimum number of cuts required to divide the circle into n equal slices. A valid cut in a circle is defined as one of the following:

  1. A cut is represented by a straight line that passes through the circle’s center and touches two points on its edge.

  2. A cut is represented by a straight ...
