A competition consists of n
players numbered from 0
to n - 1
.
You are given an integer array skills
of size n
and a positive integer k
, where skills[i]
is the skill level of player i
. All integers in skills
are unique.
All players are standing in a queue in order from player 0
to player n - 1
.
The competition process is as follows:
The winner of the competition is the first player who wins k
games in a row.
Return the initial index of the winning player.
Example 1:
Input: skills = [4,2,6,3,9], k = 2
Output: 2
Explanation:
Initially, the queue of players is [0,1,2,3,4]
. The following process happens:
[0,2,3,4,1]
.[2,3,4,1,0]
.[2,4,1,0,3]
.Player 2 won k = 2
games in a row, so the winner is player 2.
Example 2:
Input: skills = [2,5,4], k = 3
Output: 1
Explanation:
Initially, the queue of players is [0,1,2]
. The following process happens:
[1,2,0]
.[1,0,2]
.[1,2,0]
.Player 1 won k = 3
games in a row, so the winner is player 1.
Constraints:
n == skills.length
2 <= n <= 105
1 <= k <= 109
1 <= skills[i] <= 106
skills
are unique.
