Stock spread
A warehouse dashboard shows the stock count of one product across several bins. Write a function that returns the spread of the counts: the difference between the largest and smallest values in the list. If the list is empty or has a single bin, the spread is 0. Example: counts [4, 9, 2, 7] gives a spread of 7 (9 minus 2).

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
