The distance of a pair of integers a and b is defined as the absolute difference between a and b.

Given an integer array nums and an integer k, return the kth smallest distance among all the pairs nums[i] and nums[j] where 0 <= i < j < nums.length.

  Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3,1], k = 1 Output: 0 Explanation: Here are all the pairs: (1,3) -> 2 (1,1) -> 0 (3,1) -> 2 Then the 1st smallest distance pair is (1,1), and its distance is 0.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,1,1], k = 2 Output: 0

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,6,1], k = 3 Output: 5

  Constraints:

n == nums.length
2 <= n <= 10⁴
0 <= nums[i] <= 10⁶
1 <= k <= n * (n - 1) / 2
