I have stuck here with the JavaScript course: loops and condition. Any one got any ideas?
The snail climbs up 7 feet each day and slips back 2 feet each night. How many days will it take the snail to get out of a well with the given depth? Sample Input: 31 Sample Output: 6 Explanation: Let's break down the distance the snail covers each day: Day 1: 7-2=5 Day 2: 5+7-2=10 Day 3: 10+7-2=15 Day 4: 15+7-2=20 Day 5: 20+7-2=25 Day 6: 25+7=32 So, on Day 6 the snail will reach 32 feet and get out of the well at day, without slipping back that night.

Try this
function main() {
    var depth = parseInt(readLine(), 10);
    //your code goes here
    let k = 0
    let count = 1
    while (k < depth) {
        k += 7;
        if (k < depth) {
            k -= 2
            count++
        }
    }
    console.log(count)
}
