HackerEarth New game of Oz problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202413 February 2026
In this HackerEarth New game of Oz problem solution, Today Oz is playing a new game. He has an array arr[] of N distinct integers. In each turn he is will follow two actions –
  1. He selects a random number from arr[]. Say the value of this element is X.
  2. He will remove X from arr[]. if X-1 is present in arr[] then he will remove it. if X+1 is present in arr[] then he will remove it.
Oz will take turns until arr[] becomes empty. Oz loves this game so he wants to make a maximum number of possible turns. Help Oz to make a maximum number of possible turns.
