Given an integer array nums, return the maximum difference between two successive elements in its sorted form. If the array contains less than two elements, return 0.
You must write an algorithm that runs in linear time and uses linear extra space.

You must write an algorithm that runs in linear time and uses linear extra space.
The set [1, 2, 3, …, n] contains a total of n! unique permutations.
By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order, we get the following sequence for n = 3:
- “123”
- “132”
- “213”
- “231”
- “312”
- “321”
Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.
1649. Create Sorted Array through Instructions
Given an integer array instructions, you are asked to create a sorted array from the elements in instructions. You start with an empty container nums. For each element from left to right in instructions, insert it into nums. The cost of each insertion is the minimum of the following:
- The number of elements currently in nums that are strictly less than instructions[i].
- The number of elements currently in nums that are strictly greater than instructions[i].
For example, if inserting element 3 into nums = [1,2,3,5], the cost of insertion is min(2, 1) (elements 1 and 2 are less than 3, element 5 is greater than 3) and nums will become [1,2,3,3,5].
Return the total cost to insert all elements from instructions into nums. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 109 + 7
1568. Minimum Number of Days to Disconnect Island
You are given an m x n binary grid grid where 1 represents land and 0 represents water. An island is a maximal 4-directionally (horizontal or vertical) connected group of 1’s.
The grid is said to be connected if we have exactly one island, otherwise is said disconnected.
In one day, we are allowed to change any single land cell (1) into a water cell (0).
Return the minimum number of days to disconnect the grid.
1970. Last Day Where You Can Still Cross
There is a 1-based binary matrix where 0 represents land and 1 represents water. You are given integers row and col representing the number of rows and columns in the matrix, respectively.
Initially on day 0, the entire matrix is land. However, each day a new cell becomes flooded with water. You are given a 1-based 2D array cells, where cells[i] = [ri, ci] represents that on the ith day, the cell on the rith row and cith column (1-based coordinates) will be covered with water (i.e., changed to 1).
You want to find the last day that it is possible to walk from the top to the bottom by only walking on land cells. You can start from any cell in the top row and end at any cell in the bottom row. You can only travel in the four cardinal directions (left, right, up, and down).
Return the last day where it is possible to walk from the top to the bottom by only walking on land cells.
1250. Check If It Is a Good Array
Given an array nums of positive integers. Your task is to select some subset of nums, multiply each element by an integer and add all these numbers. The array is said to be good if you can obtain a sum of 1 from the array by any possible subset and multiplicand.
Return True if the array is good otherwise return False.
