Kindergarten Adventures


Problem Statement :


Meera teaches a class of n students, and every day in her classroom is an adventure. Today is drawing day!

The students are sitting around a round table, and they are numbered from 1 to n in the clockwise direction. This means that the students are numbered 1, 2, 3, . . . , n-1, n, and students 1 and n are sitting next to each other.

After letting the students draw for a certain period of time, Meera starts collecting their work to ensure she has time to review all the drawings before the end of the day. However, some of her students aren't finished drawing! Each student i needs ti extra minutes to complete their drawing.

Meera collects the drawings sequentially in the clockwise direction, starting with student ID x, and it takes her exactly 1 minute to review each drawing. This means that student x gets 0 extra minutes to complete their drawing, student x+1 gets 1 extra minute, student x+2 gets 2 extra minutes, and so on. Note that Meera will still spend 1 minute for each student even if the drawing isn't ready.

Given the values of t1, t2,  . . .,  tn , help Meera choose the best possible x to start collecting drawings from, such that the number of students able to complete their drawings is maximal. Then print x on a new line. If there are multiple such IDs, select the smallest one.

Input Format

The first line contains a single positive integer, n , denoting the number of students in the class.
The second line contains n space-separated integers describing the respective amounts of time that each student needs to finish their drawings (i.e .t1,  t2,  . . .,  tn ).

Constraints

1  <=  n   <= 10^5
1  <=  ti  <= n


Output Format

Print an integer denoting the ID number, , where Meera should start collecting the drawings such that a maximal number of students can complete their drawings. If there are multiple such IDs, select the smallest one.

Self Balancing Tree

An AVL tree (Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Landis' tree, named after the inventors) is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. We define balance factor for each node as : balanceFactor = height(left subtree) - height(righ
