HackerEarth Merge the groups problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth Merge the group’s problem solution You are given an array A of N elements. Each element belongs to its own group initially.
You need to process the following two types of queries:
  1. X Y – The array elements which are at positions X and Y in array A merge their group.
  2. X – Print the maximum absolute difference of the array values that belong to the group of Xth elements of the array.
