Problem Statement Josephus attended a party where they had a rather strange raffle. Everyone was to stand in a circle, and every Mth person was to be eliminated until only one person was remaining, who won the lawnmower.
Write the function Josephus, which takes as parameters a vector representing the N guests at the party in the order they line up for the raffle, and the integer M, giving which person will be eliminated at each turn. Your function should return a string giving the name of the winner of the raffle (the last person standing).
Hint: While there is a mathematical solution, a queue will be much more straightforward.
Constraints
N, the length of the vector guests, will be greater than 0 and less than 2,000.
M will be greater than zero and less than 2,000.
Examples
guests = {"Josephus", "Titus", "Simon", "Eleazar"}
M = 3
Returns: "Josephus"
Counting every third person from Josephus (remember, they are in a circle), Simon is eliminated first. Skipping Eleazar and Josephus, Titus goes next. Skipping Eleazar and Josephus, we come back to Eleazar. Josephus, who cleverly suggested M = 3, comes out the winner!
guests = {"Bradford", "Rosette", "Ji", "Ashleigh", "Avery", "Lavonna", "Fredericka"}
M = 2
Returns: "Fredericka"
guests = {"Tiffany", "Randy", "Kit", "Sharlene", "Marquerite", "Debra", "Pok", "Tanisha", "Claudio"}
M = 17
Result: "Debra"
Given Function
string Josephus(vector guests, int M) {
// your code here
}
