Problem types

Night has fallen, and N alpacas have gathered around a campfire. They sit in a circle, that is, alpaca 1 is to the right of alpaca N, alpaca 2 is to the right of alpaca 1, alpaca 3 is to the right of alpaca 2, and so on. Each alpaca is waiting to be assigned a happiness index, h_i. The i^\text{th} alpaca is happy if the sum of its happiness index and the happiness index of the alpaca to its right is even. Otherwise, it is sad. Being a diligent herdsman, you decide to assign each of the N alpacas a happiness index such that there are exactly X happy alpacas.

    I had the same issue; just make sure you're not printing the extra space at the end of the loop

    Note: Output must end with a newline with no trailing whitespace.
