1436\. Destination City

Easy

You are given the array `paths`, where paths[i] = [cityAi, cityBi] means there exists a direct path going from cityAi to cityBi. _Return the destination city, that is, the city without any path outgoing to another city._

It is guaranteed that the graph of paths forms a line without any loop, therefore, there will be exactly one destination city.

**Example 1:**

**Input:** paths = [["London","New York"],["New York","Lima"],["Lima","Sao Paulo"]]

**Output:** "Sao Paulo"

**Explanation:** Starting at "London" city you will reach "Sao Paulo" city which is the destination city. Your trip consist of: "London" -> "New York" -> "Lima" -> "Sao Paulo".

**Example 2:**

**Input:** paths = [["B","C"],["D","B"],["C","A"]]

**Output:** "A"

**Explanation:** All possible trips are: 

"D" -> "B" -> "C" -> "A". 

"B" -> "C" -> "A". 

"C" -> "A". 

"A". Clearly the destination city is "A".

**Example 3:**

**Input:** paths = [["A","Z"]]

**Output:** "Z"

**Constraints:**

*   `1 <= paths.length <= 100`
*   `paths[i].length == 2`
*   1 <= cityAi.length, cityBi.length <= 10
*   cityAi != cityBi
*   All strings consist of lowercase and uppercase English letters and the space character.
