Minimum Moves to Equal Array Elements

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

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

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

Minimum Moves to Equal Array Elements diagram

Example 1

Input: nums = [1,2,3]

Output: 3

Explanation: Only three moves are needed (remember each move increments two elements): [1,2,3] => [2,3,3] => [3,4,3] => [4,4,4]

Example 2

Input: nums = [1,1,1]

Output: 0

Constraints

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • The answer is guaranteed to fit in a 32-bit integer.
