<p>We have <code>n</code> chips, where the position of the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> chip is <code>position[i]</code>.</p> <p>We need to move all the chips to <strong>the same position</strong>. In one step, we can change the position of the <code>i<sup>th</sup></code> chip from <code>position[i]</code> to:</p> <ul> <li><code>position[i] + 2</code> or <code>position[i] - 2</code> with <code>cost = 0</code>.</li> <li><code>position[i] + 1</code> or <code>position[i] - 1</code> with <code>cost = 1</code>.</li> </ul> <p>Return <em>the minimum cost</em> needed to move all the chips to the same position.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p> <img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/08/15/chips_e1.jpg" style="width: 750px; height: 217px;" /> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> position = [1,2,3] <strong>Output:</strong> 1 <strong>Explanation:</strong> First step: Move the chip at position 3 to position 1 with cost = 0. Second step: Move the chip at position 2 to position 1 with cost = 1. Total cost is 1. </pre> <p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p> <img alt="" src="https://assets.leetcode.com/uploads/2020/08/15/chip_e2.jpg" style="width: 750px; height: 306px;" /> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> position = [2,2,2,3,3] <strong>Output:</strong> 2 <strong>Explanation:</strong> We can move the two chips at position 3 to position 2. Each move has cost = 1. The total cost = 2. </pre> <p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p> <pre> <strong>Input:</strong> position = [1,1000000000] <strong>Output:</strong> 1 </pre> <p> </p> <p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p> <ul> <li><code>1 <= position.length <= 100</code></li> <li><code>1 <= position[i] <= 10^9</code></li> </ul>
