30 Day code challenge-python

Day 14–Scope

Task

Complete the Difference class by writing the following:

• A class constructor that takes an array of integers as a parameter and saves it to the _elements instance variable.
• A computeDifference method that finds the maximum absolute difference between 2 any numbers in _elements and maximumDifference stores it in the instance variable.

Sample input and output

Input Format

The first line contains N, the size of the elements array. The second line has N space-separated integers that describe the _elements array.

Output Format

Print the value of the maximumDifference instance variable.

Solution

Explanation

Line 19–20: Calls the class function computeDifference

Line 8–10: The maximum and minimum value is stored in a variable and its difference is found to calculate the maximum sum

Line 11: The value is returned in self.maximumDifference variable

Line 22: Prints the maximum difference

Bonus Tip: abs prints the value irrespective of the magnitude eg: abs(-3) = 3
