<p>You are given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> integer array <code>nums</code> and an integer <code>x</code>.</p>

<p>Find the <strong>minimum absolute difference</strong> between two elements in the array that are at least <code>x</code> indices apart.</p>

<p>In other words, find two indices <code>i</code> and <code>j</code> such that <code>abs(i - j) &gt;= x</code> and <code>abs(nums[i] - nums[j])</code> is minimized.</p>

<p>Return<em> an integer denoting the <strong>minimum</strong> absolute difference between two elements that are at least</em> <code>x</code> <em>indices apart</em>.</p>

<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [4,3,2,4], x = 2
<strong>Output:</strong> 0
<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can select nums[0] = 4 and nums[3] = 4. 
They are at least 2 indices apart, and their absolute difference is the minimum, 0. 
It can be shown that 0 is the optimal answer.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [5,3,2,10,15], x = 1
<strong>Output:</strong> 1
<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can select nums[1] = 3 and nums[2] = 2.
They are at least 1 index apart, and their absolute difference is the minimum, 1.
It can be shown that 1 is the optimal answer.
</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 3:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,2,3,4], x = 3
<strong>Output:</strong> 3
<strong>Explanation:</strong> We can select nums[0] = 1 and nums[3] = 4.
They are at least 3 indices apart, and their absolute difference is the minimum, 3.
It can be shown that 3 is the optimal answer.
