JavaScript: Find two elements of the array such that their absolute difference is not greater than a given integer but is as close to the said integer
JavaScript Basic: Exercise-104 with Solution
Write a JavaScript program to find two elements of the array such that their absolute difference is not greater than a given integer but is as close to the said integer.
Sample Solution:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title> Find two elements of the array such that their absolute difference is not greater than a given integer but is as close to the said integer</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
JavaScript Code:
function different_values(ara, n) {
var max_val = -1;
for (var i = 0; i < ara.length; i++) {
for (var j = i + 1; j < ara.length; j++) {
var x = Math.abs(ara[i] - ara[j]);
if (x <= n) {
max_val = Math.max(max_val, x)
}
}
}
return max_val
}
console.log(different_values([12, 10, 33, 34], 10));
console.log(different_values([12, 10, 33, 34], 24));
console.log(different_values([12, 10, 33, 44], 40));
Sample Output:
2 24 34
Flowchart:

ES6 Version:
function different_values(ara, n) {
let max_val = -1;
for (let i = 0; i < ara.length; i++) {
for (let j = i + 1; j < ara.length; j++) {
const x = Math.abs(ara[i] - ara[j]);
if (x <= n) {
max_val = Math.max(max_val, x)
}
}
}
return max_val
}
console.log(different_values([12, 10, 33, 34], 10));
console.log(different_values([12, 10, 33, 34], 24));
console.log(different_values([12, 10, 33, 44], 40));

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
Checks if a string is an anagram of another string (case-insensitive, ignores spaces, punctuation and special characters)
Example:
const isAnagram = (str1, str2) => { const normalize = str => str .toLowerCase() .replace(/[^a-z0-9]/gi, '') .split('') .sort() .join(''); return normalize(str1) === normalize(str2); }; console.log(isAnagram('iceman', 'cinema')); // true
Output:
true
