2357 - Make Array Zero by Subtracting Equal Amounts.

Easy

You are given a non-negative integer array nums. In one operation, you must:

  • Choose a positive integer x such that x is less than or equal to the smallest non-zero element in nums.
  • Subtract x from every positive element in nums.

Return the minimum number of operations to make every element in nums equal to 0.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,5,0,3,5]

Output: 3

Explanation:

In the first operation, choose x = 1. Now, nums = [0,4,0,2,4].

In the second operation, choose x = 2. Now, nums = [0,2,0,0,2].

In the third operation, choose x = 2. Now, nums = [0,0,0,0,0].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0]

Output: 0

Explanation: Each element in nums is already 0 so no operations are needed.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 100
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 100
