The ​​i​​​-th person has weight ​​people[i]​​​, and each boat can carry a maximum weight of ​​limit​​.

Each boat carries at most 2 people at the same time, provided the sum of the weight of those people is at most ​​limit​​.

Return the minimum number of boats to carry every given person.  (It is guaranteed each person can be carried by a boat.)

 

Example 1:


Input: people = [1,2], limit = 3 Output: 1 Explanation: 1 boat (1, 2)


Example 2:


Input: people = [3,2,2,1], limit = 3 Output: 3 Explanation: 3 boats (1, 2), (2) and (3)


Example 3:


Input: people = [3,5,3,4], limit = 5 Output: 4 Explanation: 4 boats (3), (3), (4), (5)
