1848. Minimum Distance to the Target Element

Leetcode Solutions

Linear Search for Minimum Distance

  1. Initialize a variable min_distance to a large value (e.g., float('inf') in Python).
  2. Iterate over the array nums using an index variable i.
  3. For each element nums[i], check if it equals the target.
  4. If it does, calculate the absolute difference between i and start.
  5. Update min_distance if the current distance is less than min_distance.
  6. After the loop, return min_distance as the result.
