Example 1:

Input: {1, 2, 3, 9}
Output: 3
Explanation: We can partition the given set into two subsets where minimum absolute difference 
between the sum of numbers is '3'. Following are the two subsets: {1, 2, 3} & {9}.

Example 2:

Input: {1, 2, 7, 1, 5}
Output: 0
Explanation: We can partition the given set into two subsets where minimum absolute difference
