1685. Sum of Absolute Differences in a Sorted Array

https://leetcode.com/problems/sum-of-absolute-differences-in-a-sorted-array

Description

You are given an integer array nums sorted in non-decreasing order.

Build and return an integer array result with the same length as nums such that result[i] is equal to the summation of absolute differences between nums[i] and all the other elements in the array.

In other words, result[i] is equal to sum(|nums[i]-nums[j]|) where 0 <= j < nums.length and j != i (0-indexed).

Example 1:

**Input:** nums = [2,3,5]
**Output:** [4,3,5]
**Explanation:** Assuming the arrays are 0-indexed, then
result[0] = |2-2| + |2-3| + |2-5| = 0 + 1 + 3 = 4,
result[1] = |3-2| + |3-3| + |3-5| = 1 + 0 + 2 = 3,
result[2] = |5-2| + |5-3| + |5-5| = 3 + 2 + 0 = 5.

Example 2:

**Input:** nums = [1,4,6,8,10]
**Output:** [24,15,13,15,21]

Constraints:

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 105

  • 1 <= nums[i] <= nums[i + 1] <= 104
