public class MaximumGap {
/**
* Given an unsorted array, find the maximum difference between the successive elements in its sorted form.
*
* Return 0 if the array contains less than 2 elements.
*
* Example 1:
*
* Input: [3,6,9,1]
* Output: 3
* Explanation: The sorted form of the array is [1,3,6,9], either
* (3,6) or (6,9) has the maximum difference 3.
* Example 2:
*
* Input: [10]
* Output: 0
* Explanation: The array contains less than 2 elements, therefore return 0.
* Note:
*
* You may assume all elements in the array are non-negative integers and fit in the 32-bit signed integer range.
* Try to solve it in linear time/space.
