Anthony is obsessed with sorting algorithms. After mastering a couple different sorting algorithms, he is now learning how to solve more unconventional sorting problems. Initially, there is an array A of size N. Anthony can perform the following operation any number of times: change an element of A to any arbitrarily large non-negative integer. Let the array B be the prefix bitwise XOR array of A. Formally, B_i = A_1 \oplus A_2 \oplus \dots \oplus A_i. Please tell Anthony the minimum number of operations to sort B in non-decreasing order.

Constraints

Input Specification

The first line contains the integer N.

The next line contains N space-separated integers, representing the array A.

Output Specification

Output the minimum number of operations to make B nondecreasing.

Sample Input

3
2 2 4

Sample Output

1

Explanation for Sample

1 operation can be performed by changing the first element to 0, making B nondecreasing.
