There are two cash lockers, one has X number of coins and the other has Y number of coins, you can withdraw money at max two times, when you withdraw from a locker you will get the total money of the locker and the locker will be refilled with Z – 1 coin if it had Z coins initially. The task is to find the maximum coins you can get.
Examples: 
 

Input: X = 6, Y = 3 
Output: 11 
Take from locker X i.e. 6 
Now, X = 5 and Y = 3 
Take again from locker X i.e. 5.
Input: X = 4, Y = 4 
Output:
 

 

Approach: In order to maximize the number of coins, take from the locker which has the maximum value then update the locker and again take from the locker with the maximum value.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the maximum coins we can get
int maxCoins(int X, int Y)
{
 
    // Update elements such that X > Y
    if (X < Y)
        swap(X, Y);
 
    // Take from the maximum
    int coins = X;
 
    // Refill
    X--;
 
    // Again, take the maximum
    coins += max(X, Y);
 
    return coins;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    int X = 7, Y = 5;
 
    cout << maxCoins(X, Y);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG {
    // Function to return the maximum coins we can get
    static int maxCoins(int X, int Y)
    {
 
        // Update elements such that X > Y
        if (X < Y) {
            swap(X, Y);
        }
 
        // Take from the maximum
        int coins = X;
 
        // Refill
        X--;
 
        // Again, take the maximum
        coins += Math.max(X, Y);
 
        return coins;
    }
 
    static void swap(int X, int Y)
    {
        int temp = X;
        X = Y;
        Y = temp;
    }
 
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int X = 7, Y = 5;
        System.out.println(maxCoins(X, Y));
    }
}

Python3




# Python3 implementation of the approach
 
# Function to return the maximum coins we can get
def maxCoins(X, Y) :
 
    # Update elements such that X > Y
    if (X < Y) :
        X, Y = Y, X;
 
    # Take from the maximum
    coins = X;
 
    # Refill
    X -= 1;
 
    # Again, take the maximum
    coins += max(X, Y);
 
    return coins;
 
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == "__main__" :
 
    X = 7; Y = 5;
 
    print(maxCoins(X, Y));

        if (X < Y) {
            swap(X, Y);
        }
 
        // Take from the maximum
        int coins = X;
 
        // Refill
        X--;
 
        // Again, take the maximum
        coins += Math.Max(X, Y);
 
        return coins;
    }
 
    static void swap(int X, int Y)
    {
        int temp = X;
        X = Y;
        Y = temp;
    }
 
    // Driver code

    {
        int X = 7, Y = 5;
        Console.WriteLine(maxCoins(X, Y));
    }

PHP




<?php
// PHP implementation of the approach
 
// Function to return the maximum coins we can get
function maxCoins($X, $Y)
{
    // Update elements such that X > Y
    if ($X < $Y)
        swap($X, $Y);
 
    // Take from the maximum
    $coins = $X;
 
    // Refill
    $X--;
 
    // Again, take the maximum
    $coins += max($X, $Y);
 
    return $coins;
}
 
// Driver code
 
$X = 7;
$Y = 5;
 
echo maxCoins($X, $Y);

?>


Javascript




<script>
 
// Javascript implementation of the approach
 
// Function to return the maximum coins we can get
function maxCoins(X, Y)
{
 
    // Update elements such that X > Y
    if (X < Y) {
        let temp = X;
        X = Y;
        Y = temp;
    }
 
    // Take from the maximum
    let coins = X;
 
    // Refill
    X--;
 
    // Again, take the maximum
    coins += Math.max(X, Y);
 
    return coins;
}
 
// Driver code
 
    let X = 7, Y = 5;
 
    document.write(maxCoins(X, Y));
 
</script>


Output: 

13

 

Time Complexity: O(1), as there is no loop.

Auxiliary Space: O(1), as no extra space has been taken.
