AGGRCOW - Aggressive cows
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 wants 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
t – the number of test cases, then t test cases follows.
- Line 1: Two space-separated integers: N and C
- Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains an integer stall location, xi
Output
For each test case output one integer: the largest minimum distance.
Example
Input: 1 5 3 1 2 8 4 9 Output: 3
Explanation
FJ can put his 3 cows in the stalls at positions 1, 4 and 8, resulting in a minimum distance of 3.

Hey guys.. this is my first submission to spoj and i keep getting wrong answer on my submission both on binary search & brute force option. What could i be messing up ? Do we need to print new lines with answer or anything like that. does any one have any bigger testcases ? any tips would be appreciated |

My First question on SPOJ. Took me whole day to figure out everything (Topcoder article was ultimate!!). But, totally worth the wait. AC in 2nd attempt. Special thanks to @manas0008 for your test cases. Helped me realize, I was off by 1. Thanks :-) Last edit: 2016-08-06 09:32:03 |

awesome ques on binary search implementation .....learnt a lot !! binary search with optimizations and technique ;-) topcoder tutorial gave a new vision of this :-) AC :-) |

@krototye: ATQ, C can't be less than two so your test case is not possible |
