Problem 1247. When can one be the Life Member of the IEEE?

Created by Aritra Chatterjee

Consult the site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ieee from where it can be seen that IEEE Members who have reached the age of 65 and whose number of years of membership plus their age in years adds up to at least 100 are recognized as Life Members. Let us write a function which takes the year of birth & year of taking IEEE membership of a person and results in the year when the person can be eligible for being the life member of IEEE. For example, if a person was born in 1940 & took IEEE membership in 1965 then he/she can be eligible in 2005 because at 2005, his age becomes 65 & his number of years of membership(40) plus his age in years(65) adds up to 105(>100). So, the function ieee_lm(1940,1965)=2005

Aritra, please fix the test suite. There is a typo in assert function.

Khaled Hamed on 4 Feb 2013

Also, the correct answer for first test (and the example) is 2003, not 2005!

Khaled, I believe the answer to the first one is still 2005, as the person has to be 65 years old. Once a member hits 65 years old, their age plus years as a member must be >100. At least, that's how I read the problem description.

Yes. The test suite needs to be fixed.

Khaled Hamed on 4 Feb 2013

@james, You are correct. I missed the first condition.

Sunil Kallur Ramegowda on 5 Feb 2013

@Aritra : Fix the test suite. you have typed y as 'yy' in your test suite.correct it

Ned Gulley on 5 Feb 2013

I fixed the obvious typo with the "yy".

Aritra Chatterjee on 5 Feb 2013
