Given a non-empty integer array of size n, find the minimum number of moves required to make all array elements equal, where a move is incrementing n - 1 elements by 1.

Example:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
Input:
[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]

为了让n个数相等, n - 1个数加上1, 相当于最大的一个数减去1.
所以最好的让所有数相等于方式是让所有的数经过x次减法后都等于min, 需要的步骤数为sum - n * min.

代码如下:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
public int minMoves(int[] nums) {
if (nums == null || nums.length == 0)
return 0;
int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int sum = 0;
for (int n : nums) {
sum += n;
min = Math.min(min, n);
}
return sum - nums.length * min;
}
