Given a division of a circle into n pieces as an array of size n. The ith element of the array denotes the angle of one piece. Our task is to make two continuous parts from these pieces so that the difference between angles of these two parts is minimum.
Examples : 
 

Input : arr[] = {90, 90, 90, 90}
Output : 0
In this example, we can take 1 and 2 
pieces and 3 and 4 pieces. Then the 
answer is |(90 + 90) - (90 + 90)| = 0.

Input : arr[] = {170, 30, 150, 10}
Output : 0
In this example, we can take 1 and 4, 
and 2 and 3 pieces. So the answer is 
|(170 + 10) - (30 + 150)| = 0.

Input : arr[] = {100, 100, 160}
Output : 40

 

We can notice that if one of the parts is continuous then all the remaining pieces also form a continuous part. If angle of the first part is equal to x then difference between angles of first and second parts is |x – (360 – x)| = |2 * x – 360| = 2 * |x – 180|. So for each possible continuous part, we can count its angle and update the answer.

Please suggest if someone has a better solution which is more efficient in terms of space and time.
