Solution

class Solution:
    def findMinDifference(self, timePoints: List[str]) -> int:
        a = []
        for timePoint in timePoints:
            h, m = timePoint.split(":")
            h = int(h)
            m = int(m)
            a.append(h * 60 + m)

        a.sort()

        ans = 24 * 60 + a[0] - a[-1]
        for i in range(len(a) - 1):
            ans = min(ans, int(abs(a[i] - a[i + 1])))
        return ans
