    You have a list arr of all integers in the range [1, n] sorted in a strictly increasing order. Apply the following algorithm on arr:

    • Starting from left to right, remove the first number and every other number afterward until you reach the end of the list.
    • Repeat the previous step again, but this time from right to left, remove the rightmost number and every other number from the remaining numbers.
    • Keep repeating the steps again, alternating left to right and right to left, until a single number remains.

    Given the integer n, return the last number that remains in arr.

    Example 1:

    Input: n = 9

    Output: 6

    Explanation:

     arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
     arr = [2, 4, 6, 8]
     arr = [2, 6]
     arr = [6]
    

    Example 2:

    Input: n = 1

    Output: 1
