Question

How to find the maximum difference between two successive elements in an int array with TypeScript

Answer 1

function maxDifference(arr: number[]) {
    if (arr.length < 2) {
        return 0;
    }

    let maxDiff : number = 0;
    for (let i: number = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
        let diff: number = Math.abs(arr[i] - arr[i - 1]);
        if (diff > maxDiff) {
            maxDiff = diff;
        }
    }

    return maxDiff;
}

const lst: number[] = [3, 2, 9, 5, 11, 13, 14]; // 2, 9 -> 7

console.log(maxDifference(lst)); 

 
 
 
/*
run:
 
7
 
*/
