Work Step by Step

1- Initialize a variable max_dif to a negative infinity value. 2- Iterate through the list of integers from index 0 to index n-2: - Calculate the difference between the current element and the next element. - If the calculated difference is greater than max_dif, update max_dif with the new difference. 3- After the loop ends, return the value of max_dif as the result. ------------------------------------------------ max_dif = -Infinity for i = 0 to length(list) - 2 do dif = list[i+1] - list[i] if diff > max_dif then max_dif = dif return max_dif
