You are given an array of integers start
and an integer d
, representing n
intervals [start[i], start[i] + d]
.
You are asked to choose n
integers where the ith
integer must belong to the ith
interval. The score of the chosen integers is defined as the minimum absolute difference between any two integers that have been chosen.
Return the maximum possible score of the chosen integers.
\n\n\n
Example 1:
\n\nInput: start = [6,0,3], d = 2
\n\nOutput: 4
\n\nExplanation:
\n\nThe maximum possible score can be obtained by choosing integers: 8, 0, and 4. The score of these chosen integers is min(|8 - 0|, |8 - 4|, |0 - 4|)
which equals 4.
Example 2:
\n\nInput: start = [2,6,13,13], d = 5
\n\nOutput: 5
\n\nExplanation:
\n\nThe maximum possible score can be obtained by choosing integers: 2, 7, 13, and 18. The score of these chosen integers is min(|2 - 7|, |2 - 13|, |2 - 18|, |7 - 13|, |7 - 18|, |13 - 18|)
which equals 5.
\n
Constraints:
\n\n2 <= start.length <= 105
0 <= start[i] <= 109
0 <= d <= 109
x
. We can find a valid configuration of integers by sorting start
, the first integer should be start[0]
, then each subsequent integer should be the smallest one in [start[i], start[i] + d]
that is greater than last_chosen_value + x
