Optimal game strategy- I

#1

In the sample input, Piyush picks 4 Rs coin and Nimit has 2 choices. He can pick either 1 or 3. Which one will Nimit chose?
Is it like both players will choose the coin with more value?

@tanyaa.sood
hello Tanya,
no play will that coin which will maximize his total score (score at the end of game).

it can happen that at some intermediate step player pick minimum but overall got a maximum score. so we cannot say that player will pick maximum or minimum value.

If nimit choose Rs 1 coin then Piyush should choose Rs 3 coin as it will maximise the output. So output should be 7.
