Minimize K Score Difference with LeetCode Sliding Window

LeetCode POTD: Minimum Difference Between Highest and Lowest K Scores Intuition: The goal is to pick k scores such that the difference between the maximum and minimum is minimized. After sorting the array, this becomes straightforward. For any window of size k: The maxi is at the right end - nums[i] The mini is at the left end - nums[i - k + 1] We slide this window across the array and keep updating the minimum difference. This works because sorting ensures elements inside each window are in ascending order. Time Complexity: O(n log n) The detailed thought process and example are explained in the notes below 👇 #leetcode #potd #problemsolving #coding #slidingwindow #twopointers #consistency
