    Java Solution

    Collections.sort(arr);
int min=Integer.MAX_VALUE;
for(int i=0;i<arr.size()-k+1;i++){
    if((arr.get(i+k-1)-arr.get(i))<min)
    {
        min=arr.get(i+k-1)-arr.get(i);
    }
}
return min;

    Two pointer approach

    def maxMin(k, arr):
    # Write your code here
    arr.sort()
    unfairness = []
    p1 = 0
    p2 = k - 1
    
    while p2 < len(arr):
        unfairness.append(arr[p2] - arr[p1])
        p1 += 1
        p2 += 1
    return min(unfairness)

    def maxMin(k, arr):
    # Write your code here
    n = len(arr)
    arr.sort()
    res=[]
    for i in range(n-k+1):
        uf=arr[i+k-1] - arr[i]
        print(uf)
        res.append(uf)
    return min(res)

    `java public static int maxMin(int k, List arr) { // Write your code here // Sorting and Sliding Window Collections.sort(arr); int min = 0; int end = 0; int start = 0; int minUnfairness = Integer.MAX_VALUE; while(end < arr.size()) { if((end-start)+1 < k) { end++; }else { int currentUnfairness = arr.get(end) - arr.get(start); minUnfairness = Math.min(minUnfairness, currentUnfairness); start++; } } return minUnfairness; }

    Java

    public static int maxMin(int k, List<Integer> arr) {
    Collections.sort(arr);
    int min =Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    int cal;
    List<Integer> list;
    for(int i=0;i<=arr.size()-k;i++){
        list=arr.subList(i, i+k);
        cal=list.get(list.size()-1)-list.get(0);
        if(cal<min){
            min=cal;
          if(min==0){
              return 0;
          }
        }
