You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums whose length is a power of 2.
Apply the following algorithm on nums:
Return the last number that remains in nums after applying the algorithm.
Examples
Example 1
Input: nums = [1,3,5,2,4,8,2,2]
Output: 1
Explanation: The following arrays are the results of applying the algorithm repeatedly.
First: nums = [1,5,4,2]
Second: nums = [1,4]
Third: nums = [1]
1 is the last remaining number, so we return 1.
Example 2
Input: nums = [3]
Output: 3
Explanation: 3 is already the last remaining number, so we return 3.
Constraints
1 <= nums.length <= 1024
1 <= nums[i] <= 109
nums.length is a power of 2.
