Description
Discussion

Welcome to the daily solving of our PROBLEM OF THE DAY with Ayush Tripathi. We will discuss the entire problem step-by-step and work towards developing an optimized solution. This will not only help you brush up on your concepts of Matrix but also build up problem-solving skills.

A matrix is constructed of size n*n and given an integer ‘q’. The value at every cell of the matrix is given as, M(i,j) = i+j, where ‘M(i,j)' is the value of a cell, ‘i’ is the row number, and ‘j’ is the column number. Return the number of cells having value ‘q’.

Note: Assume, the array is in 1-based indexing.

Examples:

Input: n = 4, q = 7
Output: 2
Explanation: Matrix becomes 2 3 4 5 3 4 5 6 4 5 6 7 5 6 7 8 The count of 7 is 2.
