<p>You are given an integer array <code>nums</code> and an integer <code>k</code>. You may partition <code>nums</code> into one or more <strong>subsequences</strong> such that each element in <code>nums</code> appears in <strong>exactly</strong> one of the subsequences.</p>

<p>Return <em>the <strong>minimum </strong>number of subsequences needed such that the difference between the maximum and minimum values in each subsequence is <strong>at most</strong> </em><code>k</code><em>.</em></p>

<p>A <strong>subsequence</strong> is a sequence that can be derived from another sequence by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [3,6,1,2,5], k = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
We can partition nums into the two subsequences [3,1,2] and [6,5].
The difference between the maximum and minimum value in the first subsequence is 3 - 1 = 2.
The difference between the maximum and minimum value in the second subsequence is 6 - 5 = 1.
Since two subsequences were created, we return 2. It can be shown that 2 is the minimum number of subsequences needed.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,2,3], k = 1
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
We can partition nums into the two subsequences [1,2] and [3].
The difference between the maximum and minimum value in the first subsequence is 2 - 1 = 1.
The difference between the maximum and minimum value in the second subsequence is 3 - 3 = 0.
Since two subsequences were created, we return 2. Note that another optimal solution is to partition nums into the two subsequences [1] and [2,3].
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [2,2,4,5], k = 0
<strong>Output:</strong> 3
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
We can partition nums into the three subsequences [2,2], [4], and [5].
The difference between the maximum and minimum value in the first subsequences is 2 - 2 = 0.
The difference between the maximum and minimum value in the second subsequences is 4 - 4 = 0.
The difference between the maximum and minimum value in the third subsequences is 5 - 5 = 0.
Since three subsequences were created, we return 3. It can be shown that 3 is the minimum number of subsequences needed.

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= nums.length &lt;= 10<sup>5</sup></code></li>

class Solution:
    def partitionArray(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
        
        if len(nums) == 1:
            return 1

        nums = sorted(nums)

        count = 0

        minimum = nums[0]

        for i in range(1, len(nums)):

            if nums[i] - minimum > k:

                count += 1
                minimum = nums[i]
            
        return count + 1
