Make Array Zero by Subtracting Equal Amounts
You are given a non-negative integer array nums. In one operation, you must:
Choose a positive integer x such that x is less than or equal to the smallest non-zero element in nums.
Subtract x from every positive element in nums.
Return the minimum number of operations to make every element in nums equal to 0.
 
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,5,0,3,5]
Output: 3
Explanation:
In the first operation, choose x = 1. Now, nums = [0,4,0,2,4].
In the second operation, choose x = 2. Now, nums = [0,2,0,0,2].
In the third operation, choose x = 2. Now, nums = [0,0,0,0,0].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [0]
Output: 0
Explanation: Each element in nums is already 0 so no operations are needed.
 
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 100
0 <= nums[i] <= 100

import java.util.*;
import java.util.stream.*;
class Solution {
    public int minimumOperations(int[] nums) {
        List<Integer> list = Arrays.stream(nums).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
        var nonZero = list.stream().filter(x -> x > 0).collect(Collectors.toList());
        int count = 0;
        while(nonZero.size() > 0) {
            var min = nonZero.stream().mapToInt(x -> x).min().getAsInt();
            nonZero = nonZero.stream().map(x -> x - min).filter(x -> x > 0).collect(Collectors.toList());
            count++;
        }
        return count;
    }
}

Input
nums =
[1,5,0,3,5]
Output
3
Expected
3

Input
nums =
[0]
Output
0
Expected
0
