3643 Zero Array Transformation Ii
Zero Array Transformation II 
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:
1
2
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.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,0,2], queries = [[0,2,1],[0,2,1],[1,1,3]]
Output: 2

**For i = 0 (l = 0, r = 2, val = 1):**
Decrement values at indices [0, 1, 2] by [1, 0, 1] respectively.
The array will become [1, 0, 1].
**For i = 1 (l = 0, r = 2, val = 1):**
Decrement values at indices [0, 1, 2] by [1, 0, 1] respectively.
The array will become [0, 0, 0], which is a Zero Array. Therefore, the minimum value of k is 2.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [4,3,2,1], queries = [[1,3,2],[0,2,1]]
Output: -1

**For i = 0 (l = 1, r = 3, val = 2):**
Decrement values at indices [1, 2, 3] by [2, 2, 1] respectively.
The array will become [4, 1, 0, 0].
**For i = 1 (l = 0, r = 2, val = 1):**
Decrement values at indices [0, 1, 2] by [1, 1, 0] respectively.
The array will become [3, 0, 0, 0], which is not a Zero Array.
