Maximum Difference Between Adjacent Elements in a Circular Array

Given a circular array nums, find the maximum absolute difference between adjacent elements.

Given a circular array nums, find the maximum absolute difference between adjacent elements.

Note: In a circular array, the first and last elements are adjacent.

Maximum Difference Between Adjacent Elements in a Circular Array diagram

Example 1

Input: nums = [1,2,4]

Output: 3

Explanation: Because nums is circular, nums[0] and nums[2] are adjacent. They have the maximum absolute difference of |4 - 1| = 3 .

Example 2

Input: nums = [-5,-10,-5]

Output: 5

Explanation: The adjacent elements nums[0] and nums[1] have the maximum absolute difference of |-5 - (-10)| = 5 .

Constraints

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 100
  • -100 <= nums[i] <= 100
