         Problem: https://www.hackerrank.com/challenges/minimum-absolute-difference-in-an-array/problem

         .Net Framework Version: 4.7
         Tool Version : Visual Studio Community 2017
         Thoughts :
         1. Sort the input
         2. Iterate the sorted input and track the absolute difference between adjacent elements
         3. Print the minimum difference thus found.

         Time Complexity:  O(n log(n)) //actually it is O(n log(n)) + O(n)
         Space Complexity: O(n) //need to store all the elements in  memory for processing as sorting using quick sort is also involved.
