If their is no constrain on assumptions. 1.Sort the array. 2. check the dif between 2 elements. { 99,35,45,33,88,9098,112,33455,678,3} sorted arrary : { } would be something. now update the min_diff. another example : { 7,8,1,3,5,4} sorted arrary : { 1,3,4,5,7,8} min diff is 1. Please correct

You are solving the wrong problem. The problem is not asking for the difference between the two minimum elements, but for the minimum difference between any pair of elements. In the case int array[10]={99,35,45,33,88,9098,112,33455,678,3}; the minimum difference is |35-33| = 2. Dave On Sep

I got the problem statement wrong. For a input of 7,8,5,1,3,4 the answer should be 1 due to the difference between 3 and 4 or 7 and 8 or 4 and 5. Rather than 2 due to difference between 1 and 3 Sorry every one :-( -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "A

@Dave, I check for the values you suggested but the code worked fine. There were other errors in the code. I have rectified them now. The following code seems to be working fine and in O(n) time. #include #include void find_two_mins(int array[], int size) { int i,t; int min1, min2;

Your comment brings to mind that we could do an O(n) sort such as a Radix Sort. Any ordinary implementation will be O(n) as a fixed number of passes will be required based on the word size. Dave On Sep 23, 11:21 am, nishaanth wrote: > i dont think there exists a o(n) solution for this > the best

i dont think there exists a o(n) solution for this the best we can do is sort in o(nlogn) and then do a o(n) traversal On Thu, Sep 23, 2010 at 8:48 PM, Dave wrote: > @Yellow: Change the 12 in a[1] in your test case to 35 and see what > you get. > > Dave > > On Sep 23, 10:09 am, Yellow Sapphire
