    1688 - Count of Matches in Tournament\. Easy You are given an integer `n`, the number of teams in a tournament that has strange rules: * If the current number of teams is **even** , each team gets paired with another team. A total of `n / 2` matches are played, and `n / 2` teams advance to the next round. * If the current number of teams is **odd** , one team randomly advances in the tournament, and the rest gets paired. A total of `(n - 1) / 2` matches are played, and `(n - 1) / 2 + 1` teams advance to the next round. Return _the number of matches played in the tournament until a winner is decided._ **Example 1:** **Input:** n = 7 **Output:** 6 **Explanation:** Details of the tournament: - 1st Round: Teams = 7, Matches = 3, and 4 teams advance. - 2nd Round: Teams = 4, Matches = 2, and 2 teams advance. - 3rd Round: Teams = 2, Matches = 1, and 1 team is declared the winner. Total number of matches = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6. **Example 2:** **Input:** n = 14 **Output:** 13 **Explanation:** Details of the tournament: - 1st Round: Teams = 14, Matches = 7, and 7 teams advance. - 2nd Round: Teams = 7, Matches = 3, and 4 teams advance. - 3rd Round: Teams = 4, Matches = 2, and 2 teams advance. - 4th Round: Teams = 2, Matches = 1, and 1 team is declared the winner. Total number of matches = 7 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 13. **Constraints:** * `1 <= n <= 200`
