Count Odd Numbers in Range

EasyMath

Description

Given two non-negative integers low and high, return the count of odd numbers between low and high (inclusive).

Examples

Input:low = 3, high = 7
Output:3
Explanation:

The odd numbers in range [3,7] are 3, 5, and 7. Formula: (high+1)/2 - low/2 = 4 - 1 = 3.

Input:low = 1, high = 1
Output:1
Explanation:

When low equals high and the number is odd, there is exactly 1 odd number in the range.

Input:low = 10, high = 20
Output:5
Explanation:

The odd numbers in [10,20] are 11, 13, 15, 17, and 19, so the exact output is 5.

Constraints

  • 0 ≤ low ≤ high ≤ 10⁹
