# --description--
|
||||
|
||||
[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 $n, k > 0$, 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--
|
||||
|
||||
Write a function that takes the initial number of prisoners and 'k' as parameter and returns the number of the prisoner that survives.
|
||||
|
||||
# --hints--
|
||||
|
||||
`josephus` should be a function.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert(typeof josephus == 'function');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`josephus(30,3)` should return a number.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert(typeof josephus(30, 3) == 'number');
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`josephus(30,3)` should return `29`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.equal(josephus(30, 3), 29);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`josephus(30,5)` should return `3`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.equal(josephus(30, 5), 3);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`josephus(20,2)` should return `9`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.equal(josephus(20, 2), 9);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`josephus(17,6)` should return `2`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.equal(josephus(17, 6), 2);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`josephus(29,4)` should return `2`.
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
assert.equal(josephus(29, 4), 2);
|
||||
```

current.label = n;
|

current.next = this.head;
|

this.head.prev = current;
|

return this;
|

},
|
||||
kill: function(spacing) {
|
||||
var current = this.head;
|
||||
while (current.next !== current) {
|
||||
for (var i = 0; i < spacing - 1; i++) {
|
||||
current = current.next;
|
||||
}
|
||||
current.prev.next = current.next;
|
||||
current.next.prev = current.prev;
|
||||
current = current.next;
|
||||
}
|
||||
return current.label;
|
||||
}
|

}
|

|

return Josephus.init(init).kill(kill)
|
||||
}

```
