HackerEarth Sorted Arrays problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202413 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Sorted Arrays problem solution, Alice has recently found an array containing N integers. As we all know Alice loves sorted arrays so, he wants to sort the array. To sort an array Alice can add 1 to any integer in the array in 1 move.
 
Alice wants to find a minimum number of moves needed to sort this array. Remember that after sorting the array, all elements in it should be distinct.
