Gaming Array


Problem Statement :


Andy wants to play a game with his little brother, Bob. The game starts with an array of distinct integers and the rules are as follows:

Bob always plays first.
In a single move, a player chooses the maximum element in the array. He removes it and all elements to its right. For example, if the starting array arr = [2,3,5,4,1], then it becomes arr' = [2,3] after removing [5,4,1].
The two players alternate turns.
The last player who can make a move wins.
Andy and Bob play g games. Given the initial array for each game, find and print the name of the winner on a new line. If Andy wins, print ANDY; if Bob wins, print BOB.

To continue the example above, in the next move Andy will remove 3. Bob will then remove 2 and win because there are no more integers to remove.

Function Description

Complete the gamingArray function in the editor below.

gamingArray has the following parameter(s):

int arr[n]: an array of integers
Returns
- string: either ANDY or BOB

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer g, the number of games.

Each of the next g pairs of lines is as follows:

The first line contains a single integer, n, the number of elements in arr.
The second line contains n distinct space-separated integers arr[i] where 0 <= i <= n.
Constraints

Array arr contains n distinct integers.
For 35% of the maximum score:
1 <= g <= 10
1 <= n <= 1000
1<= arr[i] <= 10^5
The sum of n over all games does not exceed 1000.
For 100% of the maximum score:
1 <= g <= 100
1 <= n <= 10^5
1 <= ai <= 10^9
The sum of n over all games does not exceed 10^5.
