2016 - Maximum Difference Between Increasing Elements\. Easy Given a **0-indexed** integer array `nums` of size `n`, find the **maximum difference** between `nums[i]` and `nums[j]` (i.e., `nums[j] - nums[i]`), such that `0 <= i < j < n` and `nums[i] < nums[j]`. Return _the **maximum difference**._ If no such `i` and `j` exists, return `-1`. **Example 1:** **Input:** nums = [7, **1** , **5** ,4] **Output:** 4 **Explanation:** The maximum difference occurs with i = 1 and j = 2, nums[j] - nums[i] = 5 - 1 = 4. Note that with i = 1 and j = 0, the difference nums[j] - nums[i] = 7 - 1 = 6, but i > j, so it is not valid. **Example 2:** **Input:** nums = [9,4,3,2] **Output:** -1 **Explanation:** There is no i and j such that i < j and nums[i] < nums[j]. **Example 3:** **Input:** nums = [**1** ,5,2, **10** ] **Output:** 9 **Explanation:** The maximum difference occurs with i = 0 and j = 3, nums[j] - nums[i] = 10 - 1 = 9. **Constraints:** * `n == nums.length` * `2 <= n <= 1000` * 1 <= nums[i] <= 109
