<p>Given a positive integer <code>n</code>,&nbsp;you can apply one of the following&nbsp;operations:</p>

<ol>
	<li>If <code>n</code> is even, replace <code>n</code> with <code>n / 2</code>.</li>
	<li>If <code>n</code> is odd, replace <code>n</code> with either <code>n + 1</code> or <code>n - 1</code>.</li>
</ol>

<p>Return <em>the minimum number of operations needed for</em> <code>n</code> <em>to become</em> <code>1</code>.</p>
