|

[Josephus problem](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus problem>) is a math puzzle with a grim description: $n$ prisoners are standing on a circle, sequentially numbered from $0$ to $n-1$.
|
||||
|
||||
An executioner walks along the circle, starting from prisoner $0$, removing every $k$-th prisoner and killing him.
|
||||
|
||||
As the process goes on, the circle becomes smaller and smaller, until only one prisoner remains, who is then freed.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, if there are $n=5$ prisoners and $k=2$, the order the prisoners are killed in (let's call it the "killing sequence") will be 1, 3, 0, and 4, and the survivor will be #2.
|
||||
Given any <big>$n, k > 0$</big>, find out which prisoner will be the final survivor.
|
||||
In one such incident, there were 41 prisoners and every 3<sup>rd</sup> prisoner was being killed (<big>$k=3$</big>).
|
||||
|
||||
Given any $n, k > 0$, find out which prisoner will be the final survivor.
|
||||
|
||||
In one such incident, there were 41 prisoners and every 3<sup>rd</sup> prisoner was being killed ($k=3$).
|
||||
|
||||
Among them was a clever chap name Josephus who worked out the problem, stood at the surviving position, and lived on to tell the tale.
|
||||
|
||||
Which number was he?

## Instructions

# --instructions--
|
||||
|
||||
Write a function that takes the initial number of prisoners and 'k' as parameter and returns the number of the prisoner that survives.
