Data Reorganization Problem Description While analyzing data, you are working with an array data containing n positive integers, each representing dataset values. To derive new features for data analysis, you can perform the following operation: Select a pair of indices (i, j) (0-based) such that 0 <= i < j < len(data) . Compute the absolute difference |data[i] - data[j]| . Append this value to the end of the array data , increasing its length by 1. The objective is to minimize the smallest value present in data after performing exactly maxOperations operations. Write a program to compute the minimum possible value of the smallest element in data after the given operations. Examples Example 1: Input: n = 6 data = [42, 47, 50, 54, 62, 79] maxOperations = 2 Output: 3 Explanation: The underlined values are selected for the operation. An optimal sequence of operation is as follows: Operation 1: data[] before: [42, 47, 50, 54, 62, 79] data[] after: [42, 47, 50, 54, 62, 79, 15] Oper
