    def pickingNumbers(a):
    a = sorted(a)
    start = a[0]
    length = 0
    longest = 0
    for i in a:
        if (i - start) <= 1:
            length += 1
        else:
            start = i
            length = 1
        longest = max(length, longest)
            
    return longest

    Interesting how much strategy goes into something as simple as picking a number. It actually reminds me of a recent experience I had while working on a bathroom remodeling Bellevue project. Just like choosing the right number, selecting the right materials, layout, and fixtures comes down to understanding the purpose and anticipating how it will be used. You’d be surprised how often people overlook the small choices that end up making a big difference—whether in games or in home design.

    function pickingNumbers(a: number[]): number {
    const occur = Array(100).fill(0);
    
    for(let x of a) {
        occur[x]++;
    }
    
    return Math.max(...occur.slice(0, -1).map((o, i) => o + occur[i+1]));
}

    Given an array of integers, find the longest subarray where the absolute difference between any two elements is less than or equal to 1.

    Did you take set theory in college? If not you were robbed.

    "any two" means "there exist no pairs for which the constraint does not hold"

    Not, "the new number has this property with at least one other member".

    People pay for this service?

    4 6 is not less than or equal to 1.

    I find it interesting how many people pick certain numbers because of the personal or symbolic meaning attached to them. For example, I recently came across Syna World Clothing, where certain designs revolve around meaningful numbers and motifs. It made me realize how numbers can be a form of self-expression — whether you're choosing a lucky number or a piece of apparel that reflects your vibe. Do any of you also connect certain numbers with fashion or lifestyle choices?
