You are given an array of integers stones where stones[i] is the weight of the ith stone. We are playing a game with the stones. On each turn, we choose the heaviest two stones and smash them together. Suppose the heaviest two stones have weights x and y with x <= y.
- If
x == y, both stones are destroyed. - If
x != y, the stone of weightxis destroyed, and the stone of weightyhas new weighty - x. At the end of the game, there is at most one stone left. Return the weight of the last remaining stone. If there are no stones left, return 0.
