Question

How to find the maximum difference between two successive elements in an int array with Node.js

Answer 1

function maxDifference(arr) {
    if (arr.length < 2) {
        return 0;
    }

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

    return maxDiff;
}

const lst = [3, 7, 9, 5, 11, 13]; // 5, 11 -> 6

console.log(maxDifference(lst)); 

 
 
 
/*
run:
 
6
 
*/
