It was a dark and stormy night that ripped the roof and gates off the stalls that hold Farmer John's cows. Happily, many of the cows were on vacation, so the barn was not completely full.
The cows spend the night in stalls that are arranged adjacent to each other in a long line. Some stalls have cows in them; some do not. All stalls are the same width.
Farmer John must quickly erect new boards in front of the stalls, since the doors were lost. His new lumber supplier will supply him boards of any length he wishes, but the supplier can only deliver a small number of total boards. Farmer John wishes to minimize the total length of the boards he must purchase.
Given M (1 <= M <= 50), the maximum number of boards that can be purchased; S (1 <= S <= 200), the total number of stalls; C (1 <= C <= S) the number of cows in the stalls, and the C occupied stall numbers (1 <= stall_number <= S), calculate the minimum number of stalls that must be blocked in order to block all the stalls that have cows in them.
Print your answer as the total number of stalls blocked.
Line 1: | M, S, and C (space separated) |
Lines 2-C+1: | Each line contains one integer, the number of an occupied stall. |
4 50 18 3 4 6 8 14 15 16 17 21 25 26 27 30 31 40 41 42 43
A single line with one integer that represents the total number of stalls blocked.
25
[One minimum arrangement is one board covering stalls 3-8, one covering 14-21, one covering 25-31, and one covering 40-43.]
题解:贪心法。要使木板总长度最小,也就是让没有覆盖木板的长度最大。如果木板数多于牛的总数,那么显然木板最小总长度就等于牛的数量。先对牛棚编号排序,然后记录相邻两个有牛的牛棚之间间隔的牛棚数,并对其降序排序。然后选取前m-1个作为间隙,其余的盖上木板即可。
