Array Operations

Problem Overview

• A coding interview problem: given an array and two values x and y (x > y), determine the minimum operations to make all elements ≤ 0.
• Each operation subtracts x from one chosen element and y from every other element.
• Input: n, the n array integers, then x and y; Output: a single integer for the minimum operations.
• Applies to scenarios like batch reductions or synchronized decrements in systems.
• From Greyorange interviews; a common interview question.
