<p>You are given two integers <code>numBottles</code> and <code>numExchange</code>.</p>

<p><code>numBottles</code> represents the number of full water bottles that you initially have. In one operation, you can perform one of the following operations:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Drink any number of full water bottles turning them into empty bottles.</li>
	<li>Exchange <code>numExchange</code> empty bottles with one full water bottle. Then, increase <code>numExchange</code> by one.</li>
</ul>

<p>Note that you cannot exchange multiple batches of empty bottles for the same value of <code>numExchange</code>. For example, if <code>numBottles == 3</code> and <code>numExchange == 1</code>, you cannot exchange <code>3</code> empty water bottles for <code>3</code> full bottles.</p>

<p>Return <em>the <strong>maximum</strong> number of water bottles you can drink</em>.</p>
