Problem
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in two arrays, a1 and a2 of strings. Each string is composed with letters from a to z. Let x be any string in the first array and y be any string in the second array.
Our function should find the value of −
max(abs(length(x) − length(y)))
Example
Following is the code −
const arr1 = ["hoqq", "bbllkw", "oox", "ejjuyyy", "plmiis", "xxxzgpsssa", "xxwwkktt", "znnnnfqknaz", "qqquuhii", "dvvvwz"]; const arr2 = ["cccooommaaqqoxii", "gggqaffhhh", "tttoowwwmmww"]; const findMaxAbsDiff = (arr1 = [], arr2 = []) => { if(arr1.length === 0 || arr2.length === 0){ return -1; }; let l1 = arr1.map(str => str.length) let l2 = arr2.map(str => str.length) return Math .max(Math.max(...l1) - Math.min(...l2), Math.max(...l2) - Math.min(...l1)); }; console.log(findMaxAbsDiff(arr1, arr2));
Output
