AGGRCOW - Aggressive cows |
Farmer John has built a new long barn, with N (2 <= N <= 100,000)
stalls. The stalls are located along a straight line at positions
x1 ... xN (0 <= xi <= 1,000,000,000).
His C (2 <= C <= N) cows don't like this barn layout and become
aggressive towards each other once put into a stall. To prevent the
cows from hurting each other, FJ wants to assign the cows to the
stalls, such that the minimum distance between any two of them is
as large as possible. What is the largest minimum distance?
Input
t – the number of test cases, then t test cases follows.
* Line 1: Two space-separated integers: N and C
* Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains an integer stall location, xi
Output
For each test case output one integer: the largest minimum distance.
Example
Input:
1 5 3 1 2 8 4 9
Output:
3
Output details:
FJ can put his 3 cows in the stalls at positions 1, 4 and 8,
resulting in
a minimum distance of 3.

what are the contraints of t ? they should clearly mention that in question. |

good problem...if you dont able to come up with the approach just read some tutorial or watch some explaination videos instead just jump onto the actual solution. "binary search with greedy technique to find out that this minimum range could be the answer or not." " i have read this problem a year ago but did not manage to solve that time and tried it now and got AC in 1 go " Last edit: 2020-05-02 12:03:29 |
