Description
You are given an integer array nums of length n and a 2D array queries where queries[i] = [li, ri].
Each queries[i] performs the following on nums:
- Decrease each value at indices in [li, ri] by at most 1.
- The amount decremented at each index can be chosen independently.
A Zero Array has all elements equal to 0.
Return the maximum number of queries that can be removed while still allowing nums to be transformed into a Zero Array using the remaining queries. If it is impossible to make nums a Zero Array at all, return -1.
