Solve: Make Chocolate

Imported By: Geoffrey Challen

/ Adapted from CodingBat

We want make a package of goal kilos of chocolate. We have small bars (1 kilo each) and big bars (5 kilos each). Return the number of small bars to use, assuming we always use big bars before small bars. Return -1 if it can't be done. No loops are needed to solve this problem!

For this problem we're expecting only a method.

Don't define a class, include modifiers like static or public, add import statements, or add code outside the method declaration.

int makeChocolate(int small, int big, int goal) {
  return 0; // You may need to remove this starter code
}
