PROBLEM:

Neeraj went on a trip to wonderland during his vacation. While visiting different places there he was hungry and decided to get a pizza for himself, he found a shop nearby and went there to buy a pizza. As he noticed a weird transaction style there in which you have to pay another amount that is mentioned in your bill.

The trend was like if the bill amount is, 0 → 0 1 → 0 2 → 0 5 → 4 12 → 8.
