Leetcode 1675. Minimize Deviation in Array

Given an array of positive integers where you may repeatedly halve even numbers and can double odd numbers (to make them even), compute the minimum possible deviation (max − min) achievable by any sequence of operations. The core challenge is choosing which elements to shrink—typically by normalizing odds then greedily reducing the current maximum while tracking the running minimum to minimize the spread.
