That depends on the directions in which you run. Also, you are
fast!

But seriously, my advice is to find the answer the old fashioned
way first, with pencil and paper. Then you'll have two things you
don't now:

1. A correct answer to test your program's answer with.
2. A general idea of how to solve the problem.

It's often a mistake to start writing code. Eventually you'll be
able to go directly from problem to code more often, but it will
take practice.
