<h2><a href="https://leetcode.com/problems/maximum-difference-between-increasing-elements/?envType=daily-question&envId=2025-06-16">2016. Maximum Difference Between Increasing Elements</a></h2><h3>Easy</h3><hr><p>Given a <strong>0-indexed</strong> integer array <code>nums</code> of size <code>n</code>, find the <strong>maximum difference</strong> between <code>nums[i]</code> and <code>nums[j]</code> (i.e., <code>nums[j] - nums[i]</code>), such that <code>0 &lt;= i &lt; j &lt; n</code> and <code>nums[i] &lt; nums[j]</code>.</p>
2+
3+
<p>Return <em>the <strong>maximum difference</strong>. </em>If no such <code>i</code> and <code>j</code> exists, return <code>-1</code>.</p>

<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [7,<strong><u>1</u></strong>,<strong><u>5</u></strong>,4]
10+
<strong>Output:</strong> 4
11+
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
12+
The maximum difference occurs with i = 1 and j = 2, nums[j] - nums[i] = 5 - 1 = 4.
13+
Note that with i = 1 and j = 0, the difference nums[j] - nums[i] = 7 - 1 = 6, but i &gt; j, so it is not valid.

<pre>
19+
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [9,4,3,2]
20+
<strong>Output:</strong> -1
21+
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
22+
There is no i and j such that i &lt; j and nums[i] &lt; nums[j].

<pre>
28+
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [<strong><u>1</u></strong>,5,2,<strong><u>10</u></strong>]
29+
<strong>Output:</strong> 9
30+
<strong>Explanation:</strong>
31+
The maximum difference occurs with i = 0 and j = 3, nums[j] - nums[i] = 10 - 1 = 9.
