Justification Algorithm: 2-4 Socks

Calculating the justification for 2-4 socks requires an advanced level of mathematical wizardry.

We've taken the liberty of researching and codifying the ancient art of sock pairing into a simple algorithm:

if (total_socks > 4) {
  print "You have a pair of socks to match, human.";
  for (i = 0; i < total_socks; i++) {
    if (sock_i % 2 == 0) {
      match_socks++;
    }
  }
  print match_socks;
} else {
  print "Your sock collection is an abomination.";
}

Using this algorithm, we can confidently say that 2-4 socks will result in a pair of matching socks. Learn more about the ancient art of sock pairing.
