Minimum Operations to Make Sequence Strictly Increasing
Minimum Operations to Make Sequence Strictly Increasing
You are given a sequence of n
non-negative integers. In one operation, you can increment any element of the sequence by 1. The goal is to transform the sequence into a strictly increasing sequence with the minimum number of operations.
A sequence a1, a2, ..., an is strictly increasing if a1 < a2 < ... < an.
Formally, you need to find the minimum total number of increments needed so that for every i (2 ≤ i ≤ n), the condition ai > ai-1 holds.
The relation between increments and the condition can be mathematically expressed as follows. For each index i (2 ≤ i ≤ n), if the current value ai is not strictly greater than ai-1, you need to perform:
[ \text{increments} = a_{i-1} - a_i + 1 ]
Update the value of ai to ai-1 + 1 after performing the increments. Your task is to compute the sum of all such required increments.
inputFormat
The first line of input contains an integer n
(1 ≤ n ≤ 105), representing the number of elements in the sequence.
The second line contains n
space-separated non-negative integers representing the sequence.
outputFormat
Output a single integer, the minimum number of operations required to make the sequence strictly increasing.
