DCOWS - Dancing Cows |
It's the spring dance and, in a rare occurrence, the N (1 ≤ N ≤ 5000) bulls have been invited to dance with the M (N < M ≤ 5000) cows (as long as they stay on their very best behavior).
Farmer John, almost obsessive-compulsive in his organization of dances, wants the spectacle to be as visually attractive as possible. Thus, he wants to pair up the N bulls with cow partners such that the total of all the magnitudes of differences in height is minimized. Bulls have heights B_i (1 ≤ B_i ≤ 1,000,000) and cows have height C_i (1 ≤ C_i ≤ 1,000,000). Of course, some cows will be unmatched since N-M of them will have no partners; ignore their heights.
Input
- Line 1: Two space-separated integers: N and M.
- Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains a single integer: B_i.
- Lines N+2..M+N+1: Line i+N+1 contains a single integer: C_i.
Output
- Line 1: A single integer that is the minimum of the sum of the absolute value of the height differences that can be achieved.
Sample
Input: 5 7 10 16 12 10 13 7 17 12 10 9 6 11 Input: 4
Explanation
There are five bulls + seven cows with various heights:
- Bulls: 10 10 12 13 16
- Cows: 6 7 9 10 11 12 17
Here is one way to achieve a total difference of 4:
- Bulls: 10 10 12 13 16
- Cows: 9 10 11 12 17, with 6 7 unmatched.

Give more test cases... 5 7 8 11 12 15 21 7 10 12 15 18 19 20 what is the op. 3 or 5(21- 20 or 21- 18) |

I think...it should be M-N, not N-M, in the description "Of course, some cows will be unmatched since N-M of them will have no partners" :) |
