【Codeforces Round #440 (Div. 2) B】Maximum of Maximums of Minimums

探讨了一个整数数组分割成k个非空子段的问题,目标是最大化这些子段中的最小值的最大值。通过预处理前后缀最小值并考虑特殊情况来解决。

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.

Input

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).

Output

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.

Note

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 = 1rk = nli = 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.


这题一开始没理解好题意就仓促开撸,以为不用连续取 于是排了下序,n==1或者k==1就最小值 其余都是最大值  结果居然Accept了 然后又被hack了 重新读了下题意发现不能这么做 应该多分出一种k==2的情况 暴力枚举一发 k>=3的时候肯定可以把最大点独立出来。
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define ll long long
using namespace std;

const int N = 1e5;

int a[N+10],n,k,premi[N+10],aftermi[N+10];

int main()
{
    //freopen("F:\\rush.txt","r",stdin);
    scanf("%d%d",&n,&k);
    for (int i = 1;i <= n;i++)
        scanf("%d",&a[i]);
    if (k==1)
    {
        int ans = a[1];
        for (int i = 2;i <= n;i++)
            ans = min(ans,a[i]);
        printf("%d\n",ans);
    }else if (k==2)
    {
        premi[1] = a[1];
        for (int i = 2;i <= n;i++)
            premi[i] = min(premi[i-1],a[i]);
        aftermi[n] = a[n];
        for (int i = n-1;i >= 1;i--)
            aftermi[i] = min(aftermi[i+1],a[i]);
        int ans = max(premi[1],aftermi[2]);
        for (int i = 2;i <= n-1;i++)
            ans = max(ans,max(premi[i],aftermi[i+1]));
        printf("%d\n",ans);
    }else {
        int ans = a[1];
        for (int i = 1;i <= n;i++)
            ans = max(ans,a[i]);
        printf("%d\n",ans);
    }
    return 0;
}
