2616. Minimize the Maximum Difference of Pairs

Leetcode Solutions

Minimizing Maximum Pairwise Difference with Greedy and Binary Search

  1. Sort the array nums in non-decreasing order.
  2. Initialize binary search boundaries: left = 0 and right = nums[n - 1] - nums[0].
  3. While left < right, perform the following steps: a. Calculate the middle point mid = left + (right - left) // 2. b. Use a greedy approach to count the number of valid pairs with a difference less than or equal to mid. c. If the count is at least p, update right = mid. d. Otherwise, update left = mid + 1.
  4. Return left as the minimum maximum difference after the binary search completes.
