7kyu-maximum-gap.js

// Introduction and Warm-up (Highly recommended)
// Playing With Lists/Arrays Series
// Task

// Given an array/list [] of integers , Find The maximum difference between the successive elements in its sorted form.
// Notes

//     Array/list size is at least 3 .

//     Array/list's numbers Will be mixture of positives and negatives also zeros_

//     Repeatition of numbers in the array/list could occur.

//     The Maximum Gap is computed Regardless the sign.

// Input >> Output Examples

// 1- maxGap ({13,10,5,2,9}) ==> return (4)

// Explanation:

//     The Maximum Gap after sorting the array is 4 , The difference between 9 - 5 = 4 .

// 2- maxGap ({-3,-27,-4,-2}) ==> return (23)

// Explanation:

//     The Maximum Gap after sorting the array is 23 , The difference between |-3- (-27) | = 23 .

//     Note : Regardless the sign of negativity .

// 3- maxGap ({-7,-42,-809,-14,-12}) ==> return (767)

// Explanation:

//     The Maximum Gap after sorting the array is 767 , The difference between | -809- (-42) | = 767 .

//     Note : Regardless the sign of negativity .

// 4- maxGap ({-54,37,0,64,640,0,-15}) //return (576)

// Explanation:

//     The Maximum Gap after sorting the array is 576 , The difference between | 64 - 640 | = 576 .

//     Note : Regardless the sign of negativity .
