You are given a positive integer array grades which represents the grades of students in a university. You would like to enter all these students into a competition in ordered non-empty groups, such that the ordering meets the following conditions:

\n\n\n\n

Return the maximum number of groups that can be formed.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: grades = [10,6,12,7,3,5]\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: The following is a possible way to form 3 groups of students:\n- 1st group has the students with grades = [12]. Sum of grades: 12. Student count: 1\n- 2nd group has the students with grades = [6,7]. Sum of grades: 6 + 7 = 13. Student count: 2\n- 3rd group has the students with grades = [10,3,5]. Sum of grades: 10 + 3 + 5 = 18. Student count: 3\nIt can be shown that it is not possible to form more than 3 groups.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: grades = [8,8]\nOutput: 1\nExplanation: We can only form 1 group, since forming 2 groups would lead to an equal number of students in both groups.\n
