Special Array With X Elements Greater Than or Equal X
You are given an array nums of non-negative integers.
You are given an array nums of non-negative integers. nums is considered special if there exists a number x such that there are exactly x numbers in nums that are greater than or equal to x.
Notice that x does not have to be an element in nums.
Return x if the array is special, otherwise, return -1. It can be proven that if nums is special, the value for x is unique.
Example 1
Input: nums = [3,5]
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 2 values (3 and 5) that are greater than or equal to 2.
Example 2
Input: nums = [0,0]
Output: -1
Explanation: No numbers fit the criteria for x. If x = 0, there should be 0 numbers >= x, but there are 2. If x = 1, there should be 1 number >= x, but there are 0. If x = 2, there should be 2 numbers >= x, but there are 0. x cannot be greater since there are only 2 numbers in nums.
Example 3
Input: nums = [0,4,3,0,4]
Output: 3
Explanation: There are 3 values that are greater than or equal to 3.
Constraints
- 1 <= nums.length <= 100
- 0 <= nums[i] <= 1000
