You are given a 0-indexed array nums comprising of n non-negative integers.
In one operation, you must:
Return the minimum possible value of the maximum integer of nums after performing any number of operations.
Examples
Example 1
Input: nums = [3,7,1,6]
Output: 5
Explanation:
One set of optimal operations is as follows:
1. Choose i = 1, and nums becomes [4,6,1,6].
2. Choose i = 3, and nums becomes [4,6,2,5].
3. Choose i = 1, and nums becomes [5,5,2,5].
The maximum integer of nums is 5. It can be shown that the maximum number cannot be less than 5.
Therefore, we return 5.
Example 2
Input: nums = [10,1]
Output: 10
Explanation:
It is optimal to leave nums as is, and since 10 is the maximum value, we return 10.
Constraints
n == nums.length
2 <= n <= 105
0 <= nums[i] <= 109
