You are given an array A, of N elements. Find minimum index based distance between two elements of the array, x and y.
Example 1:
Input:
N = 4
A[] = {1,2,3,2}
x = 1, y = 2
Output: 1
Explanation: x = 1 and y = 2. There are
two distances between x and y, which are
1 and 3 out of which the least is 1.
Example 2:
Input:
N = 7
A[] = {86,39,90,67,84,66,62}
x = 42, y = 12
Output: -1
Explanation: x = 42 and y = 12. We return
-1 as x and y don't exist in the array.
Your Task: Complete the function minDist() which takes the array, n, x and y as input parameters and returns the minimum distance between x and y in the array. If no such distance is possible then return -1.
Expected Time Complexity: O(N) Expected Auxiliary Space: O(1)
