Ice Cream Sticks
估计中等评测数据准备中,可先阅读题面
Given an array A[] denoting heights of N ice cream sticks and a positive integer K, modify the height of each stick either by increasing or decreasing them by K only once and then find out the least difference in the heights between the shortest and longest sticks.
For example, consider that the heights are 0, 6, 11 and K=7. We can change 0 to 7, 6 to 9, and 11 to 4. The maximum difference is between 4 and 9, which is 5. We cannot minimise this difference.
Input
The first line of input contains a positive integer K.
The second line of input contains a positive integer N, representing the number of sticks.
The third line of the input contains N integers, representing the heights of N sticks.
Output
The minimum of the maximum difference of heights possible.
Constraints
0 < K ≤ 30
0 < N ≤ 30
0 ≤ A[i] ≤ 500
Example 1
Input:
K = 2
A = [2, 6, 9, 11]
Output:
5
Explanation:
Explanation: 2->4, 6->8, 9->7, 11->9. So, the maximum difference is 5 (9-4).
Example 2
Input:
K = 20
A = [3, 4, 5]
Output:
2
Explanation: 3 → 23, 4 → 24, 5 → 25. So, the max different is 2 (25 − 23).
