    without using while. It just uses sort and 1 loop to reach to answer

    vector<int> cutTheSticks(vector<int> arr) {
    sort(arr.begin(), arr.end());
    
    vector<int> result;
    result.push_back(arr.size());
    int smallest = arr[0];
    for(int i=0; i < arr.size(); i++)
    {
        int elem = arr[i] - smallest;
        if(elem > 0)
        {
            result.push_back(arr.size()-i);
            smallest += elem;
        }
    }
    
    return result;
}
