Problem

Given two integers hour and minutes, return the smaller angle in degrees between the hour hand and the minute hand on an analog clock. The input represents a valid time, and the result may be fractional. Handle edge cases such as 12:00, 12:59, and times where the hands overlap.

Constraints

1 <= hour <= 12
0 <= minutes <= 59
Input always represents a valid analog clock time
Return the smaller angle between the two hands
