You are given an integer array nums
and an integer k
.
An integer h
is called valid if all values in the array that are strictly greater than h
are identical.
For example, if nums = [10, 8, 10, 8]
, a valid integer is h = 9
because all nums[i] > 9
are equal to 10, but 5 is not a valid integer.
You are allowed to perform the following operation on nums
:
h
that is valid for the current values in nums
.i
where nums[i] > h
, set nums[i]
to h
.Return the minimum number of operations required to make every element in nums
equal to k
. If it is impossible to make all elements equal to k
, return -1.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [5,2,5,4,5], k = 2
Output: 2
Explanation:
The operations can be performed in order using valid integers 4 and then 2.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [2,1,2], k = 2
Output: -1
Explanation:
It is impossible to make all the values equal to 2.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [9,7,5,3], k = 1
Output: 4
Explanation:
The operations can be performed using valid integers in the order 7, 5, 3, and 1.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 100
1 <= nums[i] <= 100
1 <= k <= 100
