    2079 - Watering Plants.

    Medium

    You want to water n plants in your garden with a watering can. The plants are arranged in a row and are labeled from 0 to n - 1 from left to right where the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> plant is located at x = i. There is a river at x = -1 that you can refill your watering can at.

    Each plant needs a specific amount of water. You will water the plants in the following way:

    • Water the plants in order from left to right.

    • After watering the current plant, if you do not have enough water to completely water the next plant, return to the river to fully refill the watering can.

    • You cannot refill the watering can early.

    You are initially at the river (i.e., x = -1). It takes one step to move one unit on the x-axis.

    Given a 0-indexed integer array plants of n integers, where plants[i] is the amount of water the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> plant needs, and an integer capacity representing the watering can capacity, return the number of steps needed to water all the plants.

    Example 1:

    Input: plants = 2,2,3,3, capacity = 5

    Output: 14

    Explanation: Start at the river with a full watering can:

    • Walk to plant 0 (1 step) and water it. Watering can has 3 units of water.

    • Walk to plant 1 (1 step) and water it. Watering can has 1 unit of water.

    • Since you cannot completely water plant 2, walk back to the river to refill (2 steps).

    • Walk to plant 2 (3 steps) and water it. Watering can has 2 units of water.

    • Since you cannot completely water plant 3, walk back to the river to refill (3 steps).

    • Walk to plant 3 (4 steps) and water it.

    Steps needed = 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 14.

    Example 2:

    Input: plants = 1,1,1,4,2,3, capacity = 4

    Output: 30

    Explanation: Start at the river with a full watering can:

    • Water plants 0, 1, and 2 (3 steps). Return to river (3 steps).

    • Water plant 3 (4 steps). Return to river (4 steps).

    • Water plant 4 (5 steps). Return to river (5 steps).

    • Water plant 5 (6 steps).

    Steps needed = 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 6 = 30.

    Example 3:

    Input: plants = 7,7,7,7,7,7,7, capacity = 8

    Output: 49

    Explanation: You have to refill before watering each plant.

    Steps needed = 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 7 = 49.
