    1535 - Find the Winner of an Array Game.

    Medium

    Given an integer array arr of distinct integers and an integer k.

    A game will be played between the first two elements of the array (i.e. arr[0] and arr[1]). In each round of the game, we compare arr[0] with arr[1], the larger integer wins and remains at position 0, and the smaller integer moves to the end of the array. The game ends when an integer wins k consecutive rounds.

    Return the integer which will win the game.

    It is guaranteed that there will be a winner of the game.

    Example 1:

    Input: arr = 2,1,3,5,4,6,7, k = 2

    Output: 5

    Explanation: Let's see the rounds of the game:

    Round | arr | winner | win_count
        1 | [2,1,3,5,4,6,7] | 2 | 1
        2 | [2,3,5,4,6,7,1] | 3 | 1
        3 | [3,5,4,6,7,1,2] | 5 | 1
        4 | [5,4,6,7,1,2,3] | 5 | 2

    So we can see that 4 rounds will be played and 5 is the winner because it wins 2 consecutive games.

    Example 2:

    Input: arr = 3,2,1, k = 10

    Output: 3

    Explanation: 3 will win the first 10 rounds consecutively.

    Constraints:

    • <code>2 <= arr.length <= 10<sup>5</sup></code>

    • <code>1 <= arri<= 10<sup>6</sup></code>

    • arr contains distinct integers.

    • <code>1 <= k <= 10<sup>9</sup></code>
