Avoiding Traps Problem Statement

Given an array of obstacles' coordinates, determine the minimal jump length to reach beyond all obstacles starting from coordinate 0 while avoiding landing on any obstacle.

Input:

The first line gives an integer ‘T’, the number of test cases. Each test case is presented over two lines:

  1. An integer ‘N’ indicating the number of obstacles.
  2. An array named 'OBSTACLES', containing 'N' integers representing the coordinates of obstacles on the line.

Output:

For each test case, output an integer representing the minimum jump length needed to bypass all obstacles.

Example:

Input:
2
3
1 4 9
4
2 3 6 8
Output:
5
7

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 50
  • 1 <= N <= 1000
  • 1 <= OBSTACLES[i] <= 10^6
Note:
  • The endpoint to aim for is any point beyond the maximum obstacle coordinate.
  • The jump length must consistently avoid all listed obstacle points.
  • Obstacles may be unsorted initially.
  • The final jump is permitted to overshoot the line's end point.
