LeetCodeArrayDynamic ProgrammingGreedyPrefix SumOpen on judge ↗

You are given an integer array nums of length n. An index i (0 < i < n - 1) is special if nums[i] > nums[i - 1] and nums[i] > nums[i + 1]. You may perform operations where you choose any index i and increase nums[i] by 1. Your goal is to: - Maximize the number of special indices. - Minimize the total number of operations required to achieve that maximum. Return an integer denoting the minimu
