Problem Overview

  • Determine the minimum number of operations to turn all elements of a non-negative integer array to 0.
  • Each operation selects x ≤ the smallest non-zero value and subtracts x from every positive element; output the count of operations.
  • Input: nums with 1 ≤ length ≤ 100 and 0 ≤ nums[i] ≤ 100; Output: an integer.
  • Represents batch reduction/normalization across values in array processing contexts.
