0Find below the puzzle:
sampleInput='''5195 753 2468'''
- The first item's(5195) largest and smallest values are 9 and 1, and their difference is 8.
- The second item's(753) largest and smallest values are 7 and 3, and their difference is 4.
- The third item's(2468) difference is 6.
In this example, the spreadsheet's checksum would be 8 + 4 + 6 = 18.
What is the checksum for the below puzzle input?
