Problem Statement:
Find the span of an array (difference between maximum and minimum elements).
Example:
Input: [3, 4, 7, 10, 1]
Output: 9 (since 10 - 1 = 9)
Approach:
Initialize max = -∞ and min = +∞.
Traverse the array once.
Update max if current element > max.
Update min if current element < min.
Return max - min.
Time Complexity: O(n)
Space Complexity: O(1)
Problem Statement:
Find the second largest element in an array without sorting

Part 5: Early Earth, Origin of Life, and Evolution
Characteristics of Early Earth & Prebiotic Simulation
Early Earth had no oxygen or ozone layer, high UV radiation, noxious gases, frequent electrical storms, and abundant water.
The prebiotic simulation (1950s) recreated early Earth conditions in the lab, resulting in the formation of amino acids—the basic building blocks of life. This supports the chemical evolution hypothesis.
Two main hypotheses for the origin of life:
Chemical evolution (prebiotic
