JavaScript: Find the maximum difference among all possible pairs of a given array of integers

JavaScript Basic: Exercise-93 with Solution

Write a JavaScript program to find the maximum difference among all possible pairs of a given array of integers.

Sample Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
  <title>Find the maximum difference among all possible pairs of a given array of integers.</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code:

function array_max_diff(arr) {

    var max_result = 0;

    for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++)
       {
        for(var k=0; k!=i && k<arr.length; k++)
        {
            var diff = Math.abs(arr[i]-arr[k]);
            max_result = Math.max(max_result, diff);
        }
    }
    return max_result;
}
console.log(array_max_diff([1, 2, 3, 8, 9]))
console.log(array_max_diff([1, 2, 3, 18, 9]))
console.log(array_max_diff([13, 2, 3, 8, 9]))

Sample Output:

8
17
11

            max_result = Math.max(max_result, diff);
        }
    }
    return max_result;
}
console.log(array_max_diff([1, 2, 3, 8, 9]))
console.log(array_max_diff([1, 2, 3, 18, 9]))
console.log(array_max_diff([13, 2, 3, 8, 9]))

JavaScript: Tips of the Day

Randomizes the order of the values of an array, returning a new array

Example:

const tips_shuffle = ([...arr]) => {
  let x = arr.length;
  while (x) {
    const i = Math.floor(Math.random() * x--);
    [arr[x], arr[i]] = [arr[i], arr[x]];
  }
  return arr;
};
const foo = [2, 4, 6];
console.log(tips_shuffle(foo));

Output:

[4, 2, 6]
