330\. Patching Array
Hard
Given a sorted integer array `nums` and an integer `n`, add/patch elements to the array such that any number in the range `[1, n]` inclusive can be formed by the sum of some elements in the array.
Return _the minimum number of patches required_.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** nums = [1,3], n = 6
**Output:** 1 Explanation: Combinations of nums are [1], [3], [1,3], which form possible sums of: 1, 3, 4. Now if we add/patch 2 to nums, the combinations are: [1], [2], [3], [1,3], [2,3], [1,2,3]. Possible sums are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, which now covers the range [1, 6]. So we only need 1 patch.
**Example 2:**
**Input:** nums = [1,5,10], n = 20
**Output:** 2 Explanation: The two patches can be [2, 4].
**Example 3:**
**Input:** nums = [1,2,2], n = 5
**Output:** 0
**Constraints:**
* `1 <= nums.length <= 1000`
* 1 <= nums[i] <= 104
* `nums` is sorted in **ascending order**.
* 1 <= n <= 231 - 1
