Maximum Absolute Difference
You are given an array of N integers, A1, A2 ,…, AN. Return maximum value of f(i, j) for all 1 ≤ i, j ≤ N. f(i, j) is defined as |A[i] - A[j]| + |i - j|, where |x| denotes absolute value of x.For example,A=[1, 3, -1] f(1, 1) = f(2, 2) = f(3, 3) = 0 f(1, 2) = f(2, 1) = |1 - 3| + |1 - 2| = 3 f(1, 3) = f(3, 1) = |1 - (-1)| + |1 - 3| = 4 f(2, 3) = f(3, 2) = |3 - (-1)| + |2 - 3| = 5 So, we return 5. ..

Max Sum Contiguous Subarray
Find the contiguous subarray within an array (containing at least one number) which has the largest sum.For example:Given the array [-2,1,-3,4,-1,2,1,-5,4],the contiguous subarray [4,-1,2,1] has the largest sum = 6.For this problem, return the maximum sum. My Solutions:import sys def maxSubArray(A): size = len(A) max_sum = max(A[0], -sys.maxsize - 1) for i in range(size): result = A[i] for j in ..

Min Steps in Infinite Grid
You are in an infinite 2D grid where you can move in any of the 8 directions : (x,y) to (x+1, y), (x - 1, y), (x, y+1), (x, y-1), (x-1, y-1), (x+1,y+1), (x-1,y+1), (x+1,y-1) You are given a sequence of points and the order in which you need to cover the points. Give the minimum number of steps in which you can achieve it. You start from the first point.Input :Given two integer arrays A and B, wh..
