Vacation Days Advanced                                                                                   Solutions

The notorious problem “Vacation Days” was originally proposed by Prof. Jan Vanthienen. In 2016 it was used as our Oct-2016 Challenge that received 20 different solutions. This month we offer our readers an advanced version of the same problem:

Every employee receives vacation days according to the following rules:

  1. Every employee receives at least 22 vacation days.
  2. Employees younger than 18 or at least 60 years, or employees with at least 30 years of service can receive extra 5 days.
  3. Employees with at least 30 years of service and also employees of age 60 or more, can receive extra 3 days, on top of possible additional days already given
  4. If an employee has at least 15 but less than 30 years of service, extra 2 days can be given. These 2 days can also be provided for employees of age 45 or more.
  5. A college student is eligible to 1 extra vacation day.
  6. If an employee is a veteran, 2 extra days can be given.
  7. The total number of vacation days cannot exceed 29.
