2006. Count Number of Pairs With Absolute Difference K (Easy)

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the number of pairs (i, j) where i < j such that |nums[i] - nums[j]| == k.

The value of |x| is defined as:

• x if x >= 0.
• -x if x < 0.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,2,1], k = 1
Output: 4
Explanation: The pairs with an absolute difference of 1 are:
- [1,2,2,1]
- [1,2,2,1]
- [1,2,2,1]
- [1,2,2,1]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,3], k = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no pairs with an absolute difference of 3.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,2,1,5,4], k = 2
Output: 3
Explanation: The pairs with an absolute difference of 2 are:
- [3,2,1,5,4]
- [3,2,1,5,4]
- [3,2,1,5,4]

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 200
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 100
• 1 <= k <= 99
