Maximum Difference Between Adjacent Elements in a Circular Array
Easy
You receive a circular array nums, find the maximum absolute difference between adjacent elements.
Note: In a circular array, the first and last elements are adjacent.
Example 1
Input: nums = [1,2,4]
Output: 3
Explanation: Because nums is circular, nums[0] and nums[2] are adjacent. They have the maximum absolute difference of |4 - 1| = 3.
Example 2
Input: nums = [-5,-10,-5]
Output: 5
Explanation: The adjacent elements nums[0] and nums[1] have the maximum absolute difference of |-5 - (-10)| = 5.
Constraints
2 <= nums.length <= 100-100 <= nums[i] <= 100
