Write a Program to Find Min Max Game
# 2293. Min Max Game
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums whose length is a power of 2.
Apply the following algorithm on nums:
Let n be the length of nums. If n == 1, end the process. Otherwise, create a new 0-indexed integer array newNums of length n / 2.
For every even index i where 0 <= i < n / 2, assign the value of newNums[i] as min(nums[2 * i], nums[2 * i + 1]). For every odd index i where 0 <= i < n / 2, assign the value of newNums[i] as max(nums[2 * i], nums[2 * i + 1]). Replace the array nums with newNums. Repeat the entire process starting from step 1. Return the last number that remains in nums after applying the algorithm.
### Example 1: “` Input: nums = [1,3,5,2,4,8,2,2] Output: 1 Explanation: The following arrays are the results of applying the algorithm repeatedly. First: nums = [1,5,4,2] Second: nums = [1,4] Third: nums = [1] 1 is the last remaining number, so we return 1. “`
### Example 2: ``` Input: nums = [3] Output: 3 Explanation: 3 is already the last remaining number, so we return 3. ```
Constraints: ``` 1 <= nums.length <= 1024 1 <= nums[i] <= 109 nums.length is a power of 2. ```
/** * @param {number[]} nums * @return {number} */ var minMaxGame = function(nums) { let n = nums.length; if (n === 1) return nums[0]; const out = [] for (let i = 0; i < (n / 2); i++) { out[i] = i & 1 ? Math.max(nums[2*i], nums[2*i+1]) : Math.min(nums[2*i], nums[2*i+1]); } return minMaxGame(out); };
