One day Misha and Andrew were playing a very simple game. First, each player chooses an integer in the range from 1 to n. Let's assume that Misha chose number m, and Andrew chose number a.

Then, by using a random generator they choose a random integer c in the range between 1 and n (any integer from 1 to n is chosen with the same probability), after which the winner is the player, whose number was closer to c. The boys agreed that if m and a are located on the same distance from c, Misha wins.

Andrew wants to win very much, so he asks you to help him. You know the number selected by Misha, and number n. You need to determine which value of a Andrew must choose, so that the probability of his victory is the highest possible.

More formally, you need to find such integer a (1 ≤ a ≤ n), that the probability that  is maximal, where c is the equiprobably chosen integer from 1 to n (inclusive).

Input

The first line contains two integers n and m (1 ≤ m ≤ n ≤ 109) — the range of numbers in the game, and the number selected by Misha respectively.

Output

Print a single number — such value a, that probability that Andrew wins is the highest. If there are multiple such values, print the minimum of them.

Note

In the first sample test: Andrew wins if c is equal to 2 or 3. The probability that Andrew wins is 2 / 3. If Andrew chooses a = 3, the probability of winning will be 1 / 3. If a = 1, the probability of winning is 0.

In the second sample test: Andrew wins if c is equal to 1 and 2. The probability that Andrew wins is 1 / 2. For other choices of a the probability of winning is less.

题目大意:Misha和Andrew在玩游戏。规则是:在1~n的整数中,Misha选一个数m,Andrew选一个数a,再随机选一个数c,选择的数更接近c的人获胜,若一样,则Misha获胜。现在已知n和m,要选一个数作为a,使Andrew获胜的可能性最大。


若$a=m$,则总是Misha胜,不考虑,所以$a$要么大于$m$,要么小于$m$。

以$a<m$为例。若$c\ge m$,则总是Misha胜;若$c<m$,则在$a=m-1$时,总是Andrew获胜,否则Misha有获胜的可能。所以,$a=m-1$时Andrew获胜的可能性最大,为$\frac{m-1}{n}$

同理,若$a>m$,$a=m+1$时Andrew获胜的可能性最大,为$\frac{n-m}{n}$。

简单判断一下那种可能性大就用哪种,注意特判$n=1$的情况即可。

代码在此。
