    1954 - Minimum Garden Perimeter to Collect Enough Apples.

    Medium

    In a garden represented as an infinite 2D grid, there is an apple tree planted at every integer coordinate. The apple tree planted at an integer coordinate (i, j) has |i| + |j| apples growing on it.

    You will buy an axis-aligned square plot of land that is centered at (0, 0).

    Given an integer neededApples, return the minimum perimeter of a plot such that at least neededApples apples are inside or on the perimeter of that plot.

    The value of |x| is defined as:

    • x if x >= 0
    • -x if x < 0

    Example 1:

    Input: neededApples = 1

    Output: 8

    Explanation: A square plot of side length 1 does not contain any apples. However, a square plot of side length 2 has 12 apples inside (as depicted in the image above). The perimeter is 2 * 4 = 8.

    Example 2:

    Input: neededApples = 13

    Output: 16

    Example 3:

    Input: neededApples = 1000000000

    Output: 5040
