Given an integer array nums
, your goal is to make all elements in nums
equal. To complete one operation, follow these steps:
- Find the largest value in
nums
. Let its index bei
( 0-indexed ) and its value belargest
. If there are multiple elements with the largest value, pick the smallesti
. - Find the next largest value in
nums
strictly smaller thanlargest
. Let its value benextLargest
. - Reduce
nums[i]
tonextLargest
.
Return the number of operations to make all elements in nums
equal.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [5,1,3]
Output: 3
Explanation: It takes 3 operations to make all elements in nums equal:
-
largest = 5 at index 0. nextLargest = 3. Reduce nums[0] to 3. nums = [3,1,3].
-
largest = 3 at index 0. nextLargest = 1. Reduce nums[0] to 1. nums = [1,1,3].
-
largest = 3 at index 2. nextLargest = 1. Reduce nums[2] to 1. nums = [1,1,1].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,1,1]
Output: 0
Explanation: All elements in nums are already equal.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,1,2,2,3]
Output: 4
Explanation: It takes 4 operations to make all elements in nums equal:
-
largest = 3 at index 4. nextLargest = 2. Reduce nums[4] to 2. nums = [1,1,2,2,2].
-
largest = 2 at index 2. nextLargest = 1. Reduce nums[2] to 1. nums = [1,1,1,2,2].
-
largest = 2 at index 3. nextLargest = 1. Reduce nums[3] to 1. nums = [1,1,1,1,2].
-
largest = 2 at index 4. nextLargest = 1. Reduce nums[4] to 1. nums = [1,1,1,1,1].
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 5 * 104
1 <= nums[i] <= 5 * 104
