MAP - The Map |
After a new administrative division of Byteland cartographic office works on a new demographic map of the country. Because of technical reasons only a few colors can be used. The map should be colored so that regions with the same or similar population (number of inhabitants) have the same color. For a given color k let A(k) be the number, such that:
- at least half of regions with color k has population not greater than A(k)
- at least half of regions with color k has population not less than A(k)
A coloring error of a region is an absolute value of the difference between A(k) and the region's population. A cumulative error is a sum of coloring errors of all regions. We are looking for an optimal coloring of the map (the one with the minimal cumulative error).
Task
Write a program which:
- reads the population of regions in Byteland from the standard input,
- computes the minimal cumulative error,
- writes the result to the standard output.
Input
The number of test cases t is in the first line of input, then t test cases follow separated by an empty line. In the first line of each test case an integer n is written, which is the number of regions in Byteland, 10< n <3000. In the second line the number m denoting the number of colors used to color the map is written, 2 <= m <= 10. In each of the following n lines there is one non-negative integer - a population of one of the regions of Byteland. No population exceeds 2^30.
Output
Your program should write for each test case one integer number equal to a minimal cumulative error, which can be achieved while the map is colored (optimally).
Example
Sample input: 1 11 3 21 14 6 18 10 2 15 12 3 2 2 Sample output: 15
