You are given an array a1, a2, ..., an consisting of n integers, and an integer k. You have to split the array into exactly k non-empty subsegments. You'll then compute the minimum integer on each subsegment, and take the maximum integer over the k obtained minimums. What is the maximum possible integer you can get?
Definitions of subsegment and array splitting are given in notes.
The first line contains two integers n and k (1 ≤ k ≤ n ≤ 105) — the size of the array a and the number of subsegments you have to split the array to.
The second line contains n integers a1, a2, ..., an ( - 109 ≤ ai ≤ 109).
Print single integer — the maximum possible integer you can get if you split the array into k non-empty subsegments and take maximum of minimums on the subsegments.

A subsegment [l, r] (l ≤ r) of array a is the sequence al, al + 1, ..., ar.
Splitting of array a of n elements into k subsegments [l1, r1], [l2, r2], ..., [lk, rk] (l1 = 1, rk = n, li = ri - 1 + 1 for all i > 1) is k sequences (al1, ..., ar1), ..., (alk, ..., ark).
In the first example you should split the array into subsegments [1, 4] and [5, 5] that results in sequences (1, 2, 3, 4) and (5). The minimums are min(1, 2, 3, 4) = 1 and min(5) = 5. The resulting maximum is max(1, 5) = 5. It is obvious that you can't reach greater result.
In the second example the only option you have is to split the array into one subsegment [1, 5], that results in one sequence ( - 4, - 5, - 3, - 2, - 1). The only minimum is min( - 4, - 5, - 3, - 2, - 1) = - 5. The resulting maximum is - 5.
题意:给你一个由n个数组成的序列,要求分成k段子序列,求每段子序列组成的最小值中的最大值;
思路:分类讨论一下k,如果k=1的话,那么肯定就是在整个序列中的最小值,k>2的话,我们直接把最大值独立出来形成一个单独的子序列,所以唯一讨论的就是k=2时如何找出最大值,假如说有这样一个序列:
a,b,c,d,e,f ,因为是分成两段,所以肯定是从第一位开始形成一段,最后一位形成一段,所以a肯定是大于等于第一段的最小值,f大于等于第二段的最小值,所以我们只要比较一下序列两端的值,谁大就把他单独作为一个序列输出即可。。。(注意中间的数是不可能单独作为一个子序列的(k==2))
下面附上我的代码:
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int a[100005],b[100005];
int main()
{
int n,k;
while(cin>>n>>k)
{
memset(a,0,sizeof(a));
memset(b,0,sizeof(b));
for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
scanf("%d",&a[i]);
b[i]=a[i];
}
sort(b,b+n);
if(k==1)
printf("%d\n",b[0]);
else if(k==2)
{
int p=max(a[0],a[n-1]);
printf("%d\n",p);
}
else
printf("%d\n",b[n-1]);
}
return 0;
}
