chance of landing heads when flipped. Krithik is playing a game where he starts with 
point. Every turn, he flips the coin, and if it lands heads, he gains point, and if it lands tails, he loses point. However, after the turn, if he has a negative number of points, his point counter resets to . Krithik wins when he earns 
points. Find the expected number of turns until Krithik wins.
