Given a list of 24-hour clock time points in <strong>&quot;HH:MM&quot;</strong> format, return <em>the minimum <b>minutes</b> difference between any two time-points in the list</em>.
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>
<pre><strong>Input:</strong> timePoints = ["23:59","00:00"]
<strong>Output:</strong> 1

<pre><strong>Input:</strong> timePoints = ["00:00","23:59","00:00"]
<strong>Output:</strong> 0
</pre>

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>2 &lt;= timePoints.length &lt;= 2 * 10<sup>4</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>timePoints[i]</code> is in the format <strong>&quot;HH:MM&quot;</strong>.</li>
</ul>
