Converting recurrence into matrix 
Difference between en1 and en2, changed 4 character(s)
Solving [Problem](http://www.spoj.com/problems/HUSGAME/) , I got recurrence as f(n)= ~f,2018-03-25((n+1)/2) + ~f,2018-03-25(n-1) ,here ~ denotes negation,  f(x) is 0 if player with x stones loose and 1 if player left with x stones wins.As n can be high as $10^{18}$ so matrix exponentiation would do this,↵

| ~   ~ | x |  f(n)    | = | f(n+1) |  ↵
| 1   0 |   | f(n/2+1) |   |  f(n)  |  ↵

but I am unable to do algebra with this ~ operation.↵
