    it can be solved using Grundy number

    First precompute prime_fact_count using sieve

    Then precompute Grundy till 1e6 since a[i] can go upto 1e6

    Then for each testcase if xor_sum of Grundy[a[i]] ==0 then bob else alice

    I solved it using dp only. Let dp[Y] equals maximum length of consecutive elements having endpoints as Y . So our answer is max dp[Y] for all 1<=Y<=1e6+1 . Transistions are pretty trivial as well. Only issue is we can't check all points from 1 to 1e6+1 .But this can be optimised as our point of concerns are only a[i] and a[i]+1.
