Cthuhlu plans to knit leg warmers for his goat friends. Write a program to work out how much yarn it will need. Yarn is measured in geins. Like a skein, but for goats.
There are three sizes of warmers: small, medium, and large. Here are the number of geins.
Goat size | Geins needed |
---|---|
Small | 2 |
Medium | 3.4 |
Large | 5.8 |
Of course, each goat will need four leg warmers.
