leetcode-problemset/leetcode/problem/minimum-operations-to-make-the-array-increasing.html

<p>You are given an integer array <code>nums</code> (<strong>0-indexed</strong>). In one operation, you can choose an element of the array and increment it by <code>1</code>.</p>



<ul>

	<li>For example, if <code>nums = [1,2,3]</code>, you can choose to increment <code>nums[1]</code> to make <code>nums = [1,<u><b>3</b></u>,3]</code>.</li>

</ul>



<p>Return <em>the <strong>minimum</strong> number of operations needed to make</em> <code>nums</code> <em><strong>strictly</strong> <strong>increasing</strong>.</em></p>



<p>An array <code>nums</code> is <strong>strictly increasing</strong> if <code>nums[i] &lt; nums[i+1]</code> for all <code>0 &lt;= i &lt; nums.length - 1</code>. An array of length <code>1</code> is trivially strictly increasing.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>



<pre>

<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,1,1]

<strong>Output:</strong> 3

<strong>Explanation:</strong> You can do the following operations:

1) Increment nums[2], so nums becomes [1,1,<u><strong>2</strong></u>].

2) Increment nums[1], so nums becomes [1,<u><strong>2</strong></u>,2].

3) Increment nums[2], so nums becomes [1,2,<u><strong>3</strong></u>].

</pre>



<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>



<pre>

<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,5,2,4,1]

<strong>Output:</strong> 14

</pre>



<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>



<pre>

<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [8]

<strong>Output:</strong> 0

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>



<ul>

	<li><code>1 &lt;= nums.length &lt;= 5000</code></li>

	<li><code>1 &lt;= nums[i] &lt;= 10<sup>4</sup></code></li>

</ul>
