# 1535. Find the Winner of an Array Game

<https://leetcode.com/problems/find-the-winner-of-an-array-game>

## Description

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.
```

**Example 3:**

```

**Input:** arr = [1,9,8,2,3,7,6,4,5], k = 7
**Output:** 9
```

**Example 4:**

```

**Input:** arr = [1,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99], k = 1000000000
**Output:** 99
```

**Constraints:**

* `2 <= arr.length <= 10^5`
* `1 <= arr[i] <= 10^6`
* `arr` contains **distinct** integers.
* `1 <= k <= 10^9`
