Array Maximal Adjacent Difference
Description
Given an array of integers, find the maximal absolute difference between any two of its adjacent elements.
Example
For inputArray = [2, 4, 1, 0], the output should be
arrayMaximalAdjacentDifference(inputArray) = 3.
Input/Output
-
[execution time limit] 4 seconds (js)
-
[input] array.integer inputArray
Guaranteed constraints:
3 ≤ inputArray.length ≤ 10,
-15 ≤ inputArray[i] ≤ 15.
- [output] boolean
The maximal absolute difference.
