How do I fix my snail in the well code

function main() { var depth = parseInt(readLine(), 10); //your code goes here var Distance_up = 7; var DistanceDown = 2; var distance_covered = Distance_up - DistanceDown; position = 0; days = 0; while (position < depth){ DailyDepth = depth ; days++ ; position += Distance_up ; position -= DistanceDown; if (position >DailyDepth) { position -= Distance_up position -= DistanceDown; break ; } } console.log(days); } My expected output is 9 instead of 8

I removed the extra lines from your code, keeping the same functionality. you should not add 7 feet and immediately subtract two. add 7 feet, add a new day, then do a distance check. if it is greater than or equal to the height of the well, you are out. if not, subtract 2 feet and return to the beginning
