POJ3069(贪心)
Saruman’s Army
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, …, 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.

题意
直线上有N个点,从这N个中选取若干个加上标记。对每一个点,其距离为R以内的区域里必须要有代标记的点,至少需要有多少个点被标记。
思路
对坐标按从小到大进行排序。选取第一个点X[0]为初始点,选取小于等于X[0]+r中最大点最为标记点。选取大于X[0]+2r的最小点最为第二个初始点。以此类推计算出所有的标记点。
