2616. Minimize the Maximum Difference of Pairs
Problem Statement
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums
and an integer p
. Find p
pairs of indices of nums
such that the maximum difference amongst all the pairs is minimized. Also, ensure no index appears more than once amongst the p
pairs.
Note that for a pair of elements at the index i
and j
, the difference of this pair is |nums[i] - nums[j]|
, where |x|
represents the absolute value of x
.
Return the minimum maximum difference among all p
pairs. We define the maximum of an empty set to be zero.

Example 2:
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 105
0 <= nums[i] <= 109
0 <= p <= (nums.length)/2
