LeetCode 945, Medium. Topics: Array, Greedy, Sorting, Counting. View on LeetCode. Generate this problem as a practice environment: tested reference solution, 14 parametrized pytest cases, and a playground notebook:

Problem

<p>You are given an integer array <code>nums</code>. In one move, you can pick an index <code>i</code> where <code>0 <= i < nums.length</code> and increment <code>nums[i]</code> by <code>1</code>.</p> <p>Return <em>the minimum number of moves to make every value in </em><code>nums</code><em> <strong>unique</strong></em>.</p> <p>The test cases are generated so that the answer fits in a 32-bit integer.</p>

Examples

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 10^5
