0920. Difference of Volumes of Cuboids

In this simple exercise, you will create a program that will take two lists of integers, a and b. Each list will consist of 3 positive integers above 0, representing the dimensions of cuboids a and b. You must find the difference of the cuboids' volumes regardless of which is bigger.

For example, if the parameters passed are ([2, 2, 3], [5, 4, 1]), the volume of a is 12 and the volume of b is 20. Therefore, the function should return 8.

Your function will be tested with pre-made examples as well as random ones.

If you can, try writing it in one line of code.

Solution:

from typing import List


def find_difference(a: List[int], b: List[int]) -> int:
    return abs(get_multiply(a) - get_multiply(b))

def get_multiply(arr: List[int], result: int = 1) -> int:
    for e in arr: 
        result*=e
    return result
