+<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-number-of-operations-to-make-array-empty/">2870. Minimum Number of Operations to Make Array Empty</a></h2><h3>Medium</h3><hr><div><p>You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> array <code>nums</code> consisting of positive integers.</p>
+
+<p>There are two types of operations that you can apply on the array <strong>any</strong> number of times:</p>
+
+<ul>
+	<li>Choose <strong>two</strong> elements with <strong>equal</strong> values and <strong>delete</strong> them from the array.</li>
+	<li>Choose <strong>three</strong> elements with <strong>equal</strong> values and <strong>delete</strong> them from the array.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Return <em>the <strong>minimum</strong> number of operations required to make the array empty, or </em><code>-1</code><em> if it is not possible</em>.</p>
+
+<p>&nbsp;</p>
+<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>
+
+<pre><strong>Input:</strong> nums = [2,3,3,2,2,4,2,3,4]
+<strong>Output:</strong> 4
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can apply the following operations to make the array empty:
+- Apply the first operation on the elements at indices 0 and 3. The resulting array is nums = [3,3,2,4,2,3,4].
+- Apply the first operation on the elements at indices 2 and 4. The resulting array is nums = [3,3,4,3,4].
+- Apply the second operation on the elements at indices 0, 1, and 3. The resulting array is nums = [4,4].
+- Apply the first operation on the elements at indices 0 and 1. The resulting array is nums = [].
+It can be shown that we cannot make the array empty in less than 4 operations.
+</pre>
+
+<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>
+
+<pre><strong>Input:</strong> nums = [2,1,2,2,3,3]
+<strong>Output:</strong> -1
+<strong>Explanation:</strong> It is impossible to empty the array.
