2659\. Make Array Empty

Hard

You are given an integer array `nums` containing **distinct** numbers, and you can perform the following operations **until the array is empty**:

*   If the first element has the **smallest** value, remove it
*   Otherwise, put the first element at the **end** of the array.

Return _an integer denoting the number of operations it takes to make_ `nums` _empty._

**Example 1:**

**Input:** nums = [3,4,-1]

**Output:** 5

    Operation   Array
    1           [4, -1, 3]
    2           [-1, 3, 4]
    3           [3, 4]
    4           [4]
    5           []

**Example 2:**

**Input:** nums = [1,2,4,3]

**Output:** 5

    Operation   Array
    1           [2, 4, 3]
    2           [4, 3]
    3           [3, 4]
    4           [4]
    5           []

**Example 3:**

**Input:** nums = [1,2,3]

**Output:** 3

    Operation   Array
    1           [2, 3]
    2           [3]
    3           []

**Constraints:**

*   1 <= nums.length <= 105
*   -109 <= nums[i] <= 109
*   All values in `nums` are **distinct**.
