Given an n x n matrix mat[n][n] of integers, find the maximum value of mat[c][d] – mat[a][b] over all choices of indexes such that both c > a and d > b.

Example:-

1 2 3 4 
5 6 7 8
1 9 2 3

In this example, the maximum value is 8 (mat[2][1]-mat[0][0]).
Problem approach

Use two loops. In the outer loop, pick elements one by one and in the inner loop calculate the difference of the picked element with every other element in the array and compare the difference with the maximum difference calculated so far.
