We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:

\n\n

I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.

\n\n

Every time you guess wrong, I will tell you whether the number I picked is higher or lower than your guess.

\n\n

You call a pre-defined API int guess(int num), which returns three possible results:

\n\n\n\n

Return the number that I picked.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 10, pick = 6\nOutput: 6\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 1, pick = 1\nOutput: 1\n
\n\n

Example 3:

\n\n
\nInput: n = 2, pick = 1\nOutput: 1\n
\n\n
