Magical String

A magical string s consists only of '1' and '2' and obeys the following rule:

  • Concatenating the sequence of lengths of its consecutive groups of identical characters '1' and '2' generates the string s itself.

The first few elements of s are s = "1221121221221121122……". If we group the consecutive 1's and 2's in s, it will be "1 22 11 2 1 22 1 22 11 2 11 22 ......", and counting the occurrences of 1's or 2's in each group yields the sequence "1 2 2 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 2 ......".

You can see that concatenating the occurrence sequence gives us s itself.

Given an integer n, return the number of 1's in the first n numbers in the magical string s.

Example 1
Inputn = 6
Output3
The first 6 elements of magical string s are "122112" and it contains three 1's, so return 3.
Example 2
Inputn = 1
Output1
The first element of the magical string is "1", so it contains one 1.

Constraints

  • 1 <= n <= 10^5
