Longest subarray with unit difference in JavaScript

Problem

We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of numbers, arr, as the first and the only argument

Our function should find and return the length of such a subarray where the difference between its maximum value and its minimum value is exactly 1.

For example, if the input to the function is −

const arr = [2, 4, 3, 3, 6, 3, 4, 8];

Then the output should be −

const output = 5;

Output Explanation

Because the desired subarray is [4, 3, 3, 3, 4]

Example

Following is the code −

const arr = [2, 4, 3, 3, 6, 3, 4, 8]; const longestSequence = (arr = []) => {    const map = arr.reduce((acc, num) => {       acc[num] = (acc[num] || 0) + 1       return acc    }, {})    return Object.keys(map).reduce((max, key) => {       const nextKey = parseInt(key, 10) + 1    if (map[nextKey] >= 0) {       return Math.max(          max,          map[key] + map[nextKey],       )    }    return max    }, 0); }; console.log(longestSequence(arr));

Output

Following is the console output −
