这一个题主要是b个燃烧后的蜡烛可以换一个新蜡烛, 这样一直换到燃烧后的蜡烛小于b , 用while循环 直到 燃烧后的蜡烛小于b结束  统计时间


#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a, b , c = 0 , h = 0 ;
    scanf("%d %d",&a, &b);
    while(1)
    {
        h += a ;
        c += a ;
        a = c / b ;
        if(c < b) break;
        c %= b ;
    }
    printf("%d\n", h);
    return 0;
}
