Sample Solution:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>Find the maximum difference between any two adjacent elements of a given array of integers.</title>

JavaScript Code:
function max_difference(arr) {
var max = -1;
var temp;
for (var i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++)
{
temp = Math.abs(arr[i] - arr[i + 1]);
max = Math.max(max, temp);
}
return max;
}
console.log(max_difference([1, 2, 3, 8, 9]))
console.log(max_difference([1, 2, 3, 18, 9]))
console.log(max_difference([13, 2, 3, 8, 9]))
Sample Output:
5 15 11

ES6 Version:
function max_difference(arr) {
let max = -1;
let temp;
for (let i = 0; i < arr.length - 1; i++)
{
temp = Math.abs(arr[i] - arr[i + 1]);
max = Math.max(max, temp);
}
return max;
}
console.log(max_difference([1, 2, 3, 8, 9]))
console.log(max_difference([1, 2, 3, 18, 9]))
console.log(max_difference([13, 2, 3, 8, 9]))

JavaScript: Tips of the Day
How to insert an item into an array at a specific index (JavaScript)?
What you want is the splice function on the native array object.
arr.splice(index, 0, item); will insert item into arr at the specified index (deleting 0 items first, that is, it's just an insert). In this example we will create an array and add an element to it into index 2:
var arr = []; arr[0] = "Jani"; arr[1] = "Hege"; arr[2] = "Stale"; arr[3] = "Kai Jim"; arr[4] = "Borge"; console.log(arr.join()); arr.splice(2, 0, "Lene"); console.log(arr.join());
