TWO_F_PLUS_ONE ​

readonly static TWO_F_PLUS_ONE: number

Calculates 2f+1 slots which is the minimum number of slots necessary to produce a macro block, a skip block and other actions. It is also the minimum number of slots necessary to be guaranteed to have a majority of honest slots. That's because from a total of 3f+1 slots at most f will be malicious. If in a group of 2f+1 slots we have f malicious ones (which is the worst case scenario), that still leaves us with f+1 honest slots. Which is more than the f slots that are not in this group (which must all be honest). It is calculated as ceil(SLOTS*2/3) and we use the formula ceil(x/y) = (x+y-1)/y for the ceiling division.
