2439\. Minimize Maximum of Array
Medium
You are given a **0-indexed** array `nums` comprising of `n` non-negative integers.
In one operation, you must:
* Choose an integer `i` such that `1 <= i < n` and `nums[i] > 0`.
* Decrease `nums[i]` by 1.
* Increase `nums[i - 1]` by 1.
Return _the **minimum** possible value of the **maximum** integer of_ `nums` _after performing **any** number of operations_.
**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
