Problem: Water and Jug Problem

med
30 min
Explore how to solve the water and jug problem by applying mathematical reasoning and problem-solving strategies. Understand the operations allowed with two jugs and learn to check if a target measurement can be achieved. This lesson equips you to implement and validate solutions in code, enhancing your skill in tackling similar interview problems.

Statement

You are given two jugs with capacities of x liters and y liters, respectively, along with an infinite water supply. Determine whether it is possible for the total amount of water in both jugs may reach target liters.

You may perform the following operations any number of times:

  • Fill either jug completely with water.

  • Empty either jug completely.

  • Pour water from one jug into the other until either the receiving jug becomes full or the transferring jug becomes empty.

Return TRUE if the total water in both jugs can reach exactly target liters, and FALSE otherwise.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq x, y, target 103\leq 10^3
