Problem: Minimum Total Cost to Process All Elements

Try to solve the Minimum Total Cost to Process All Elements problem.

Statement

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k.

Initially, you have k units of resources and must process every element in nums sequentially from index 00 to index nums.length −1- 1.

To process an element nums[i], you must have at least nums[i] units of resources. If your current resources are strictly less than nums[i], you must perform replenishment operations until you have enough resources:

  • Each operation adds k units to your available resources.

  • The mmth operation performed overall incurs a cost of mm, where m≥1m \geq 1.

Processing nums[i] consumes nums[i] units of resources.

Return the minimum total cost required to process all elements in nums.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq nums.length ≤105\leq 10^5

  • 1≤1 \leq nums[i] ≤109\leq 10^9

  • 1≤1 \leq k ≤109\leq 10^9
