text: Check whether Arithmetic Progression can be formed from the given array | Returns true if a permutation of arr [ 0. . n - 1 ] can form arithmetic progression ; Find the smallest and and update second smallest ; Find second smallest ; Check if the duplicate element found or not ; If duplicate found then return false ; Find the difference between smallest and second smallest ; As we have used smallest and second smallest , so we should now only check for n - 2 elements ; Driven Program
