# LeetCode 1818. Minimum Absolute Sum Difference

You are given two positive integer arrays `nums1` and `nums2`, both of length `n`.

The **absolute sum difference** of arrays `nums1` and `nums2` is defined as the **sum** of `|nums1[i] - nums2[i]|` for each `0 <= i < n` (**0-indexed**).

You can replace **at most one** element of `nums1` with **any** other element in `nums1` to **minimize** the absolute sum difference.

Return the *minimum absolute sum difference **after** replacing at most one* *element in the array `nums1`.* Since the answer may be large, return it **modulo** `109 + 7`.

`|x|` is defined as:

* `x` if `x >= 0`, or
* `-x` if `x < 0`.

**Example 1:**

```
Input: nums1 = [1,7,5], nums2 = [2,3,5]
Output: 3
Explanation: There are two possible optimal solutions:
- Replace the second element with the first: [1,7,5] => [1,1,5], or
- Replace the second element with the third: [1,7,5] => [1,5,5].
Both will yield an absolute sum difference of |1-2| + (|1-3| or |5-3|) + |5-5| = 3.
```

**Example 2:**

```
Input: nums1 = [2,4,6,8,10], nums2 = [2,4,6,8,10]
Output: 0
Explanation: nums1 is equal to nums2 so no replacement is needed. This will result in an 
absolute sum difference of 0.
```

**Example 3:**

```
Input: nums1 = [1,10,4,4,2,7], nums2 = [9,3,5,1,7,4]
Output: 20
Explanation: Replace the first element with the second: [1,10,4,4,2,7] => [10,10,4,4,2,7].
This yields an absolute sum difference of |10-9| + |10-3| + |4-5| + |4-1| + |2-7| + |7-4| = 20
```

**Constraints:**

* `n == nums1.length`
* `n == nums2.length`
* `1 <= n <= 10^5`
* `1 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 10^5`

## Solution

```
class Solution {
public:
    int minAbsoluteSumDiff(vector<int>& nums1, vector<int>& nums2) {
        int mod = 1e9 + 7;
        int res = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < nums1.size(); i++) {
            res += abs(nums1[i] - nums2[i]);
            res %= mod;
        }
        
        int minus = 0;
        vector<int> copy_nums = nums1;
        sort(copy_nums.begin(), copy_nums.end());
        for (int i = 0; i < nums1.size(); i++) {
            int original = abs(nums1[i] - nums2[i]);
            int dis = 0;
            auto it = lower_bound(copy_nums.begin(), copy_nums.end(), nums2[i]);
            if (it == copy_nums.end()) {
                it--;
                dis = abs(*it - nums2[i]);
            } else {
                dis = abs(*it - nums2[i]);
                if (it != copy_nums.begin()) {
                    it--;
                    dis = min(dis, abs(*it - nums2[i]));
                }
            }
            
            minus = max(minus, original - dis);
        }
        
        res -= minus;
        if (res < 0) res += mod;
        
        return res;
    }
};
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://zhenchaogan.gitbook.io/leetcode-solution/leetcode-1818-minimum-absolute-sum-difference.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
