I understood the problem but failed to understand the sample test cases.

Let the array of integers $$$A[0..n-1]$$$ be the numbers shown in the screen. The short-term memory implies that the player can compute the difference between two integers $$$A[i]$$$ and $$$A[j]$$$ only if $$$|i-j| \leq d-1$$$. The solution to this problem is the maximum difference over $$$(n-d+1)$$$ $$$d$$$-element windows (sub-arrays) expressed as follows.
$$$\max\limits_{i = 0}^{n-d}~~[ \max\limits_{j = i}^{i+d-1} A[j] - \min\limits_{j = i}^{i+d-1} A[j] ]$$$
For test case 1:
There are 5 $$$2$$$-element sub-arrays with differences $$$[6,8,0,0,4]$$$, and the answer is 8.
For test case 2:
There are 6 $$$3$$$-element sub-arrays with differences $$$[15,9,9,12,13]$$$, and the answer is 15.
For test case 3:
There is only one $$$2$$$-element sub-array with difference $$$[0]$$$, and the answer is 0.
thank you for explaining so nicely
With pleasure.
