<p>We are playing the Guessing Game. The game will work as follows:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>I pick a number between <code>1</code> and <code>n</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>You guess a number.</li>
|
|
<li>If you guess the right number, <strong>you win the game</strong>.</li>
|
|
<li>If you guess the wrong number, then I will tell you whether the number I picked is <strong>higher or lower</strong>, and you will continue guessing.</li>
|
|
<li>Every time you guess a wrong number <code>x</code>, you will pay <code>x</code> dollars. If you run out of money, <strong>you lose the game</strong>.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>Given a particular <code>n</code>, return <em>the minimum amount of money you need to <strong>guarantee a win regardless of what number I pick</strong></em>.</p>

|
<strong>Input:</strong> n = 10
|
|
<strong>Output:</strong> 16
|
|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> The winning strategy is as follows:
|
|
- The range is [1,10]. Guess 7.
|
|
- If this is my number, your total is $0. Otherwise, you pay $7.
|
|
- If my number is higher, the range is [8,10]. Guess 9.
|
|
- If this is my number, your total is $7. Otherwise, you pay $9.
|
|
- If my number is higher, it must be 10. Guess 10. Your total is $7 + $9 = $16.
|
|
- If my number is lower, it must be 8. Guess 8. Your total is $7 + $9 = $16.
|
|
- If my number is lower, the range is [1,6]. Guess 3.
|
|
- If this is my number, your total is $7. Otherwise, you pay $3.
|
|
- If my number is higher, the range is [4,6]. Guess 5.
|
|
- If this is my number, your total is $7 + $3 = $10. Otherwise, you pay $5.
|
|
- If my number is higher, it must be 6. Guess 6. Your total is $7 + $3 + $5 = $15.
|
|
- If my number is lower, it must be 4. Guess 4. Your total is $7 + $3 + $5 = $15.
|
|
- If my number is lower, the range is [1,2]. Guess 1.
|
|
- If this is my number, your total is $7 + $3 = $10. Otherwise, you pay $1.
|
|
- If my number is higher, it must be 2. Guess 2. Your total is $7 + $3 + $1 = $11.
|
|
The worst case in all these scenarios is that you pay $16. Hence, you only need $16 to guarantee a win.

|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Input:</strong> n = 1
|
|
<strong>Output:</strong> 0
|
|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> There is only one possible number, so you can guess 1 and not have to pay anything.

|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<strong>Input:</strong> n = 2
|
|
<strong>Output:</strong> 1
|
|
<strong>Explanation:</strong> There are two possible numbers, 1 and 2.
|
|
- Guess 1.
|
|
- If this is my number, your total is $0. Otherwise, you pay $1.
|
|
- If my number is higher, it must be 2. Guess 2. Your total is $1.
|
|
The worst case is that you pay $1.
