Given N people standing in a circle where 1st is having a sword, find the luckiest person in the circle, if, from 1st soldier who is having a sword each has to kill the next soldier and handover the sword to next soldier, in turn, the soldier will kill the adjacent soldier and handover the sword to next soldier such that one soldier remains in this war who is not killed by anyone.
Example 1:
Input:
N = 5
Output:
3
Explanation:
In first go 1 3 5 (remains)
as 2 and 4 killed by 1 and 3.
In second go 3 will remain
as 5 killed 1 and 3rd killed 5
hence, 3 remains alive.
Example 2:
Input:
N = 10
Output:
5
Explanation:
In first 1 3 5 7 9
remains as 2 4 6 8 10
were killed by 1 3 5 7
and 9. In second 1 5 9

and 5 kill the 7th
soldier.In third 5th
soldiers remain alive as
9 kills the 1st soldier and
5 kill the 9th soldier.
Your Task:
You don't need to read input or print anything. Your task is to complete the function find() which takes an integer N as input parameter and returns the output as the soldier who was lucky in the game.
Expected Time Complexity: O(log N)
Expected Space Complexity: O(1)
Constraints:
1<=N<=108
