 /*Max Dial

Description

Imagine a series of n dials. They are all set to zero initially.

An input i arrives. The i-th dial is incremented by 1. An input j arrives.

The j-th dial is incremented by 1. You are also given a max value.

Given a sequence of such inputs, find which dial reaches the max value first.

Input format

First line contains n, n >= 0, denoting the number of dials.

Second line contains max, max > 0, denoting the max limit for the dial.

Third line contains m, m >= 0, denoting the number of inputs.

This is followed by m lines each containing a positive integer i, 1 <= i <= n.

Output format

A positive integer i, denoting that ith dial reaches maximum first.

If none reaches maximum limit, then output should be 0.

Sample input

3

2

4

1

2

1

3

Sample output

1

Explanation

First line is 3, i.e. 3 dials. Second line is 2, i.e. max dial limit is 2.

Third line is 4, i.e. 4 inputs arriving. 1,2,1,3 are the inputs.

The dial 1 reaches 2 first. So output is 1
