Angle Between Hands of a Clock
Given two numbers, hour
and minutes
. Return the smaller angle (in degrees) formed between the hour
and the minute
hand.
Example 1:

Input: hour = 12, minutes = 30
Output: 165
Example 2:

Input: hour = 3, minutes = 30
Output: 75
Example 3:

Input: hour = 3, minutes = 15
Output: 7.5
Example 4:
Input: hour = 4, minutes = 50
Output: 155
Example 5:
Input: hour = 12, minutes = 0
Output: 0
Constraints:
1 <= hour <= 12
0 <= minutes <= 59

class Solution {
public double angleClock(int hour, int minutes) {
double min = minutes / 60.0;
double h = (hour / 12.0) + (1.0 / 12.0) * (min);
double diff = Math.abs(h - min);
diff = Math.min(diff, 1.0 - diff);
double angle = diff * 360;
return angle;
}
