| 4 | +PROBLEM STATEMENT: |
| 5 | +Hossam woke up bored, so he decided to create an interesting array with his friend Hazem. |
| 6 | +Now, they have an array a of n positive integers, Hossam will choose a number ai and Hazem will choose a number aj. |
| 7 | +Count the number of interesting pairs (ai, aj) that meet all the following conditions: |
| 8 | +-> 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n |
| 9 | +-> i ≠ j |
| 10 | +-> The absolute difference |ai − aj| must be equal to the maximum absolute difference over all the pairs in the array. |
| 11 | + More formally, |ai − aj| = max|ap − aq|, 1 ≤ p, q≤ n. |

| 15 | +Brief Explanation: |
| 16 | +We find the minimum and the maximum element in the entire array and count the number of ordered pairs of min and max in the array. |
| 17 | +We count the frequency of miminum and maximum elements and use the formula of combinatorics to compute number of pairs. |
| 18 | +if min != max, we have count = freqMin C 1 * freqMax C 1 * 2 |
| 19 | +if min == max, we have count = freqMax P 2 |
