Minimum Moves to Equal Array Elements

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 element 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]

Approach:

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

long long int minMoves(vector<int&nums)
{
    long long int n = nums.size();
    long long int sum = 0;
    int min1 = INT_MAX;
    for (long long int i = 0i < ni++)
    {
        sum += nums[i];
        min1 = min(nums[i]min1);
    }
    return sum - n * min1;
}

int main()
{
    vector<intnums = {123};

    cout << minMoves(nums);

    return 0;
}
