    1436 - Destination City.

    Easy

    You are given the array paths, where <code>pathsi = cityA<sub>i</sub>, cityB<sub>i</sub></code> means there exists a direct path going from <code>cityA<sub>i</sub></code> to <code>cityB<sub>i</sub></code>. Return the destination city, that is, the city without any path outgoing to another city.

    It is guaranteed that the graph of paths forms a line without any loop, therefore, there will be exactly one destination city.

    Example 1:

    Input: paths = ["London","New York","New York","Lima","Lima","Sao Paulo"]

    Output: "Sao Paulo"

    Explanation: Starting at "London" city you will reach "Sao Paulo" city which is the destination city. Your trip consist of: "London" -> "New York" -> "Lima" -> "Sao Paulo".

    Example 2:

    Input: paths = ["B","C","D","B","C","A"]

    Output: "A"

    Explanation: All possible trips are:

    "D" -> "B" -> "C" -> "A".

    "B" -> "C" -> "A".

    "C" -> "A".

    "A". Clearly the destination city is "A".

    Example 3:

    Input: paths = ["A","Z"]

    Output: "Z"

    Constraints:

    • 1 &lt;= paths.length &lt;= 100

    • paths[i].length == 2

    • <code>1 <= cityA<sub>i</sub>.length, cityB<sub>i</sub>.length <= 10</code>

    • <code>cityA<sub>i</sub> != cityB<sub>i</sub></code>

    • All strings consist of lowercase and uppercase English letters and the space character.
