+ * 1688. Count of Matches in Tournament
+ * https://leetcode.com/problems/count-of-matches-in-tournament/
+ * Difficulty: Easy
+ *
+ * You are given an integer n, the number of teams in a tournament that has strange rules:
+ * - If the current number of teams is even, each team gets paired with another team. A total
+ *   of n / 2 matches are played, and n / 2 teams advance to the next round.
+ * - If the current number of teams is odd, one team randomly advances in the tournament, and
+ *   the rest gets paired. A total of (n - 1) / 2 matches are played, and (n - 1) / 2 + 1 teams
+ *   advance to the next round.
+ *
+ * Return the number of matches played in the tournament until a winner is decided.
