Solution

The problem is asking to find the minimum number of operations to make the minimum value in the array the maximum value. Here are the steps to solve this problem:

  1. Find the minimum value in the array. This can be done by iterating through the array once and keeping track of the smallest value. Let's call this value M.

  2. Count the number of elements in the array that are greater than M. This can be done by iterating through the array a second time and incrementing a counter each time an element greater than M is found. Let's call this count C.

  3. The minimum number of operations required to make M the maximum value in the array is equal to C. This is because each operation can set an element greater than M to a value less than or equal to M, thus reducing the maximum value in the array. After C operations, all elements greater than M will have been reduced to a value less than or equal to M, making M the maximum value in the array.

So, the solution to the problem is to find the minimum value in the array, count the number of elements greater than this minimum value, and return this count as the minimum number of operations required.

Minimum Operations to Exceed Threshold Value I User Accepted:1 User Tried:3 Total Accepted:1 Total Submissions:3 Difficulty:Easy You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums, and an integer k. In one operation, you can remove one occurrence of the smallest element of nums. Return the minimum number of operations needed so that all elements of the array are greater than or equal to k. Example 1: Input: nums = [2,11,10,1,3], k = 10 Output: 3 Explanation: After one operation, nums becomes equal to [2, 11, 10, 3]. After two operations, nums becomes equal to [11, 10, 3]. After three operations, nums becomes equal to [11, 10]. At this stage, all the elements of nums are greater than or equal to 10 so we can stop. It can be shown that 3 is the minimum number of operations needed so that all elements of the array are greater than or equal to 10. Example 2: Input: nums = [1,1,2,4,9], k = 1 Output: 0 Explanation: All elements of the array are greater than or equal to 1 so we do not need to apply any operations on nums. Example 3: Input: nums = [1,1,2,4,9], k = 9 Output: 4 Explanation: only a single element of nums is greater than or equal to 9 so we need to apply the operations 4 times on nums. Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 50 1 <= nums[i] <= 109 1 <= k <= 109 The input is generated such that there is at least one index i such that nums[i] >= k.

Given an array of integers called nums, you can perform the following operation while nums contains at least 2 elements:Choose the first two elements of nums and delete them.The score of the operation is the sum of the deleted elements.Your task is to find the maximum number of operations that can be performed, such that all operations have the same score.Return the maximum number of operations possible that satisfy the condition mentioned above.

Minimum Operations to Exceed Threshold Value II User Accepted:4338 User Tried:7626 Total Accepted:4413 Total Submissions:13969 Difficulty:Medium You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums, and an integer k. In one operation, you will: Take the two smallest integers x and y in nums. Remove x and y from nums. Add min(x, y) * 2 + max(x, y) anywhere in the array. Note that you can only apply the described operation if nums contains at least two elements. Return the minimum number of operations needed so that all elements of the array are greater than or equal to k. Example 1: Input: nums = [2,11,10,1,3], k = 10 Output: 2 Explanation: In the first operation, we remove elements 1 and 2, then add 1 * 2 + 2 to nums. nums becomes equal to [4, 11, 10, 3]. In the second operation, we remove elements 3 and 4, then add 3 * 2 + 4 to nums. nums becomes equal to [10, 11, 10]. At this stage, all the elements of nums are greater than or equal to 10 so we can stop. It can be shown that 2 is the minimum number of operations needed so that all elements of the array are greater than or equal to 10. Example 2: Input: nums = [1,1,2,4,9], k = 20 Output: 4 Explanation: After one operation, nums becomes equal to [2, 4, 9, 3]. After two operations, nums becomes equal to [7, 4, 9]. After three operations, nums becomes equal to [15, 9]. After four operations, nums becomes equal to [33]. At this stage, all the elements of nums are greater than 20 so we can stop. It can be shown that 4 is the minimum number of operations needed so that all elements of the array are greater than or equal to 20. Constraints: 2 <= nums.length <= 2 * 105 1 <= nums[i] <= 109 1 <= k <= 109 The input is generated such that an answer always exists. That is, there exists some sequence of operations after which all elements of the array are greater than or equal to k. complete the function class Solution { public: int minOperations(vector<int>& nums, int k) { } };
