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

 

Output

* Line 1: One integer: the largest minimum distance

题意：给你n个坐标，求c个坐标中最小的最大距离。

思路：

一看题目是最小值得最大值，立刻想到二分。对坐标进行排序。

    memset(a,0,sizeof(a));

        int cnt=0;
        mid=(left+right)/2;
        for(i=2,j=1;i<=n;){   //从第二个开始和第一个进行比较
            if(a[i]-a[j]<=mid){cnt++;i++;}
            else {j=i;i++;}
