poj 2456 Aggressive cows 二分+贪心

Aggressive cows

Description

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 want 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

* Line 1: Two space-separated integers: N and C

* Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains an integer stall location, xi

Output

* Line 1: One integer: the largest minimum distance

Sample Input

Sample Output

题意：有c只牛，n个隔间，牛会打架，所以要牛之前的最小距离最大
思路：先把距离排序，两只牛最小距离是1，最大是(a[N - 1] - a[0]) / (c - 1),利用二分找中间位置mid的隔间距可能的取值，贪心是否能放下c只羊
