    Problem

    Given n points on a 2D plane where points[i] = [xi, yi], Return** the *widest vertical area* between two points such that no points are inside the area.**

    A vertical area is an area of fixed-width extending infinitely along the y-axis (i.e., infinite height). The widest vertical area is the one with the maximum width.

    Note that points on the edge of a vertical area are not considered included in the area.

      Example 1:

    Input: points = [[8,7],[9,9],[7,4],[9,7]]
    Output: 1
    Explanation: Both the red and the blue area are optimal.
    

    Example 2:

    Input: points = [[3,1],[9,0],[1,0],[1,4],[5,3],[8,8]]
    Output: 3
    

      Constraints:

    Solution (Java)

    class Solution {
        public int maxWidthOfVerticalArea(int[][] points) {
            int[] xValues = new int[points.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < points.length; i++) {
                xValues[i] = points[i][0];
            }
            Arrays.sort(xValues);
            int max = 0;
            for (int j = 0; j < xValues.length - 1; j++) {
                if (xValues[j + 1] - xValues[j] > max) {
                    max = xValues[j + 1] - xValues[j];
                }
            }
            return max;
        }
    }
    

    Explain:

    nope.
