You are given an integer array nums.
In one operation, you may choose an index i and either increment or decrement nums[i] by 2.
Return the minimum number of operations required to make every element in nums a positive palindrome. Different elements may be changed into different palindromic integers.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [10,12,14,16]
Output: 9
Explanation:
One optimal sequence of operations is:
nums[0] by 2 once to change it from 10 to 8.nums[1] by 2 twice to change it from 12 to 8.nums[2] by 2 three times to change it from 14 to 8.nums[3] by 2 three times to change it from 16 to 22.After 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 = 9 operations, nums = [8, 8, 8, 22], and every element is a positive palindromic integer.
It can be shown that fewer than 9 operations cannot achieve this.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [9,10,11,10]
Output: 2
Explanation:
Decrement nums[1] and nums[3] by 2 once each.
After 2 operations, nums = [9, 8, 11, 8], and every element is a positive palindromic integer.
At least one operation is needed for each of these two elements, so the minimum number of operations is 2.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [125]
Output: 2
Explanation:
Decrement nums[0] by 2 twice to change it from 125 to 121, which is a positive palindromic integer.
A single operation would change it to 123 or 127, neither of which is palindromic. Thus, the minimum number of operations is 2.
Constraints:
