Given an array of numbers, return the difference between the largest and smallest values.

For example:

[23, 3, 41, 21, 16] should return 20 (i.e., 23 - 3).

[1, 434, 555, 34, 112] should return 554 (i.e., 555 - 1).

The array will contain a minimum of two elements.

Needs edge and random test cases.

Right now it also accepts sloppy solutions, but maybe that is ok with you,
aiming at creating a beginner kata with little to no emphasis on
performances.

Hi @GiacomoSorbi,

I added some random test cases. Do you recommend any more?

With the sloppy solutions, that is fair enough. I didn't intend to make a more advanced kata. This is the first kata I've ever created and I'm a beginner myself.

I've also just created a new kata. If you care to take the time to check it out and give me some feedback.

Thanks.

Hi Troy, no one had tried this for a while, and I did your last paperboy issue and thought I should leave it for someone else. Created a pull request with the solution in if you could merge it. Thanks!
