# You are a product manager and currently leading a team to develop a new product.
# Unfortunately, the latest version of your product fails the quality check.
# Since each version is developed based on the previous version,
# all the versions after a bad version are also bad.
#
# Suppose you have n versions [1, 2, ..., n] and you want to find out the first bad one,
# which causes all the following ones to be bad.
#
# You are given an API bool is_bad_version?(version) which will return whether version is bad.
# Implement a function to find the first bad version.
# You should minimize the number of calls to the API.
# The is_bad_version? API is already defined for you.
# @param {Integer} version
# @return {boolean} whether the version is bad
# def is_bad_version?(version)
# version >= 69 ? true : false
# end
# @param {Integer[]} versions
# @return {Integer}
