Batch Photography Problem
Alex has acquired a machine that can photocopy photos in batches of a minimum size 'K'. Given 'N' photos with resolutions represented in an integer array photos
, the machine produces an error for each batch. The error is computed as the absolute difference between the highest and the lowest resolution in that batch.
Alex aims to split the photos into groups, each with size at least 'K', to minimize the maximum error across all batches. Help Alex by determining the minimum possible maximum error.
Example:
Input:
resolutions = [1, 5, 2], K = 2
Output:
4
Explanation:
There is only one way to divide the array into a single group of all three photos, resulting in an error of 5 - 1 = 4.
Constraints:
1 ≤ T ≤ 10
1 ≤ K ≤ N ≤ 104
1 ≤ photos[i] ≤ 109
- Time Limit: 1 sec
Note:
You only need to implement the function and return the result; there is no need to print anything.
