Once Kevin is playing a hurdle game in which he has to jump some hurdles to clear a particular level. Each level ‘i’ has ‘i’ hurdles (for example, level 6 has 6 hurdles).

You are provided with the total number of hurdles that Kevin has jumped, you have to tell how many levels he has cleared.

Note :

Kevin has played this game once. He can only reach the level ‘i’ if and only if he has already cleared the level (‘i’ - 1).

Samsung R&D InstituteExpedia GroupCitrix

We have a collection of 'N' stones, each stone has a positive integer weight.

On each turn, we choose the two heaviest stones and smash them together. Suppose the stones have weights 'x' and 'y' with 'x' <= 'y'. The result of this smash will be:

1. If 'x' == 'y', both stones are totally destroyed;

2. If 'x' != 'y', the stone of weight 'x' is totally destroyed, and the stone of weight 'y' has a new weight equal to 'y - x'.

In the end, there is at most 1 stone left. Return the weight of this stone or 0 if there are no stones left.
