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:
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]

int minMoves(vector<int>& nums) {
int n = nums.size();
if (n <= 1) {
return 0;
}
int mn = nums[0];
long sum = nums[0];
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
mn = min(mn, nums[i]);
sum += nums[i];
}
return sum - mn * n;
}
};
