1936\. Add Minimum Number of Rungs

Medium

You are given a **strictly increasing** integer array `rungs` that represents the **height** of rungs on a ladder. You are currently on the **floor** at height `0`, and you want to reach the last rung.

You are also given an integer `dist`. You can only climb to the next highest rung if the distance between where you are currently at (the floor or on a rung) and the next rung is **at most** `dist`. You are able to insert rungs at any positive **integer** height if a rung is not already there.

Return _the **minimum** number of rungs that must be added to the ladder in order for you to climb to the last rung._

**Example 1:**

**Input:** rungs = [1,3,5,10], dist = 2

**Output:** 2

**Explanation:** 

You currently cannot reach the last rung. 

Add rungs at heights 7 and 8 to climb this ladder. 

The ladder will now have rungs at [1,3,5,7,8,10].

**Example 2:**

**Input:** rungs = [3,6,8,10], dist = 3

**Output:** 0

**Explanation:** This ladder can be climbed without adding additional rungs.

**Example 3:**

**Input:** rungs = [3,4,6,7], dist = 2

**Output:** 1

**Explanation:** 

You currently cannot reach the first rung from the ground. 

Add a rung at height 1 to climb this ladder. 

The ladder will now have rungs at [1,3,4,6,7].

**Constraints:**

*   1 <= rungs.length <= 105
*   1 <= rungs[i] <= 109
*   1 <= dist <= 109
*   `rungs` is **strictly increasing**.
