Alice has two numbers, 'X' and 'Y'. He is asked to perform the following operations any number of times.

Alice adds 1 to 'X' if 'X' is odd. Alice adds 2 to 'X' if 'X' is even. Will he be able to make 'X' equal to 'Y'?


Return 1 if 'X' can be made equal to 'Y' using the above operations any number of times(possibly 0) and 0 otherwise.

Note: Assume 1-based indexing.


For example:
Let 'X' = 3 and 'Y' = 6, Alice adds 1 to 'X' since 'X' is odd. Now 'X' will become 4. Then, Alice will add 2 to 'X', since 'X' is even, and it will become 6. 'X' becomes equal to 'Y'. Hence we will return 1 as the answer.
Problem approach

. Create an empty array called "evens"
a. Check if the element is even (divisible by 2 with no remainder)
b. If it is even, add it to the "evens" array
Return the "evens" array as the result
