this problem is originally from a programming task I am on.
there is a number of playing cards n
. the width of each card is w
.
now the cards should be placed next to each other on a table with equal space. the table's width is also limited, let's call this t
. so t
is the available width that should be used by the cards.
now I am looking for a spacing-distance that should be put between each card depending on the above variables. cards can overlap.
so far i simply tried to interpolate depending on the number of cards, but it doesn't work out very well. i think i am missing to take the card width into account, but i don't know how.
