+  You are playing a video game where you are defending your city from a group of n monsters. 
+  You are given a 0-indexed integer array dist of size n, where dist[i] is the initial distance in kilometers of the ith monster from the city.
+  The monsters walk toward the city at a constant speed. The speed of each monster is given to you in an integer array speed of size n, 
+  where speed[i] is the speed of the ith monster in kilometers per minute.
+  You have a weapon that, once fully charged, can eliminate a single monster. 
+  However, the weapon takes one minute to charge.The weapon is fully charged at the very start.
+  You lose when any monster reaches your city. If a monster reaches the city at the exact moment the weapon is fully charged, 
+  it counts as a loss, and the game ends before you can use your weapon.
+  
+  Return the maximum number of monsters that you can eliminate before you lose, or n if you can eliminate all the monsters before they reach the city. 
+
+  Ex. Input: dist = [1,3,4], speed = [1,1,1]
+      Output: 3
+      Explanation:
+      In the beginning, the distances of the monsters are [1,3,4]. You eliminate the first monster.
+      After a minute, the distances of the monsters are [X,2,3]. You eliminate the second monster.
+      After a minute, the distances of the monsters are [X,X,2]. You eliminate the thrid monster.
+      All 3 monsters can be eliminated.
