Saruman's Army(POJ-3069)(贪心)

Description

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, …, x_n of each troop (where 0 ≤ x_i ≤ 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.

题意：在一条直线上，有n个点。从这n个点中选择若干个，给他们加上标记。对于每一个点，其距离为R以内的区域里必须有一个被标记的点。问至少要有多少点被加上标记。

题解：我们从最左边的开始考虑。对于这个点，到距其R以内的区域必须要有带有标记的点。带有标记的点一定在其右侧（包含这个点本身）。给从最左边开始，距离为R以内的最远的点加上标记，尽可能的覆盖更靠右边的点。对于添加了标记的点右侧相距超过R的下一个点，采用同样的方法找到最右侧R距离以内最远的点添加标记。在所有点都被覆盖之前不断重复这一过程。
