Problem Statement

You are given an array of integers nums. In a single move, you can pick any index i, where 0 <= i < nums.length and add 1 to nums[i].

Return the minimum number of moves to make all elements in the nums unique.

Examples

Example 1

  • Input: nums = [4, 3, 2, 2, 1, 4]
  • Output: 5
  • Explanation: We need 1 move to increment the 4 at index 5 to 5, and then 4 moves to increment the 2 at index 4 to 6. So, we need total 5 moves.

Example 2

  • Input: nums = [5, 5, 5, 5, 5]
  • Output: 10
