HackerEarth Chess Tournament problem solution

In this HackerEarth Chess Tournament problem solution, 2N participants (P1, P2, P3 ...., P2N ) have enrolled for a knockout chess tournament. In the first round, each participant P2k-1 is to play against participant P2k, (1 ≤ k ≤ 2N-1). Here is an example for k = 4 :

Some information about all the participants is known in the form of a triangular matrix A with dimensions
(2N-1) X (2N-1). If Aij = 1 (i > j), participant Pi is a better player than participant Pj, otherwise Aij = 0 and participant Pj is a better player than participant Pi. Given that the better player always wins, who will be the winner of the tournament?

using namespace std;
