POJ 3069 贪心

Saruman the White must lead his army along a straight path from Isengard to Helm’s Deep. To keep track of his forces, Saruman distributes seeing stones, known as palantirs, among the troops. Each palantir has a maximum effective range of R units, and must be carried by some troop in the army (i.e., palantirs are not allowed to “free float” in mid-air). Help Saruman take control of Middle Earth by determining the minimum number of palantirs needed for Saruman to ensure that each of his minions is within R units of some palantir.

Input
The input test file will contain multiple cases. Each test case begins with a single line containing an integer R, the maximum effective range of all palantirs (where 0 ≤ R ≤ 1000), and an integer n, the number of troops in Saruman’s army (where 1 ≤ n ≤ 1000). The next line contains n integers, indicating the positions x1, …, xn of each troop (where 0 ≤ xi ≤ 1000). The end-of-file is marked by a test case with R = n = −1.

Output
For each test case, print a single integer indicating the minimum number of palantirs needed.

求每段区间的中间位置，先扫左边，从第一个军队位置开始，扫到n区间内的最后一个军队的位置，把灯塔放这，再扫右边区间的最后一个位置。由于是对称结构，一次扫一对区间才能求出来，并不是每个区间独立，所以在while里面要每次都判断左右两区间，这就简单很多了。像我这种新手，刚开始白痴的想着，每次只判断一次区间。根本不可能做出来。要学会用纸画图解题，看题是没用的的。
