Given an unsorted array, find the maximum difference between the successive elements in its sorted form.
Return 0 if the array contains less than 2 elements.
Example 1:
Input: [3,6,9,1] Output: 3 Explanation: The sorted form of the array is [1,3,6,9], either (3,6) or (6,9) has the maximum difference 3.
Example 2:
Input: [10] Output: 0 Explanation: The array contains less than 2 elements, therefore return 0.
Note:
- You may assume all elements in the array are non-negative integers and fit in the 32-bit signed integer range.
- Try to solve it in linear time/space.
代码如下:
int maximumGap(int* nums, int numsSize) {
if(numsSize<2)
return 0;
int i,j,k,tem,gap;
for(i=0;i<numsSize-1;i++)
{
k=i;
for(j=i+1;j<numsSize;j++)
{
if(nums[k]>nums[j])
k=j;
}
if(i!=k)
{
tem=nums[i];
nums[i]=nums[k];
nums[k]=tem;
}
}
gap=nums[1]-nums[0];
for(j=2;j<numsSize;j++)
{
tem=nums[j]-nums[j-1];
if(tem>gap)
gap=tem;
}
return gap;
}
