Given a sorted positive integer array nums and an integer n, add/patch elements
to the array such that any number in range [1, n]
inclusive can be formed by
the sum of some elements in the array. Return the minimum number of patches required.
Example 1:
Input: nums =[1,3]
, n =6
Output: 1 Explanation: Combinations of nums are[1], [3], [1,3]
, which form possible sums of:1, 3, 4
. Now if we add/patch2
to nums, the combinations are:[1], [2], [3], [1,3], [2,3], [1,2,3]
. Possible sums are1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
, which now covers the range[1, 6]
. So we only need1
patch.
Example 2:
Input: nums =[1,5,10]
, n =20
Output: 2 Explanation: The two patches can be[2, 4]
.
Example 3:
Input: nums =[1,2,2]
, n =5
Output: 0
