2 8 13 4 are cards at position 3 4 7 10 and 4 is total number of input
present. But I am still confused with question like what if i have only 2
cards 5 4 in deck after 3 iterations and now count will never reach 5 and 4
how do I get them out. This is example from question.

Regards and Thanks,

Joel Lopes
