Given an integer array nums of size n, return the minimum number of moves required to make all array elements equal.

\n\n

In one move, you can increment n - 1 elements of the array by 1.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [1,2,3]\nOutput: 3\nExplanation: Only three moves are needed (remember each move increments two elements):\n[1,2,3]  =>  [2,3,3]  =>  [3,4,3]  =>  [4,4,4]\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: nums = [1,1,1]\nOutput: 0\n
\n\n
