2485. Find the Pivot Integer

Easy


Given a positive integer n, find the pivot integer x such that:

Return the pivot integer x. If no such integer exists, return -1. It is guaranteed that there will be at most one pivot index for the given input.

 

Example 1:

Input: n = 8
Output: 6
Explanation: 6 is the pivot integer since: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 6 + 7 + 8 = 21.

Example 2:

Input: n = 1
Output: 1
Explanation: 1 is the pivot integer since: 1 = 1.

Example 3:

Input: n = 4
Output: -1
Explanation: It can be proved that no such integer exist.

 

Constraints:

C++
