Description

You are given an integer array nums of length n and a 2D array queries where queries[i] = [li, ri, vali].

Each queries[i] represents the following action on nums:

- Decrement the value at each index in the range [li, ri] in nums by at most vali.

- The amount by which each value is decremented can be chosen independently for each index.

A Zero Array is an array with all its elements equal to 0.

Return the minimum possible non-negative value of k, such that after processing the first k queries in sequence, nums becomes a Zero Array. If no such k exists, return -1.
