Minimum Operations to Reduce an Array
Minimum Operations to Reduce an Array
You are given an array of integers. In one operation, you can replace two adjacent elements with their sum, thereby reducing the size of the array by one. Formally, for an array with ( n ) elements, exactly ( n - 1 ) operations are necessary to reduce it to a single element if you perform the operation on any pair of adjacent elements. Your task is to compute ( n - 1 ) for each test case.
inputFormat
The input starts with an integer ( T ), representing the number of test cases. For each test case, the first line contains an integer ( n ) (the number of elements in the array). The next line contains ( n ) space-separated integers representing the array elements.
outputFormat
For each test case, output a single integer on a new line representing the minimum number of operations required to reduce the array to a single element (i.e. ( n - 1 )).## sample
