Given a list of integers nums, we want to split the list into two non-empty sublists a and b such that every element in a is less than or equal to every element in b.

Return the smallest length of a that is possible. You can assume that the solution exists.

Constraints

  • n ≤ 100,000 where n is the length of nums
