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
Output details:
FJ can put his 3 cows in the stalls at positions 1, 4 and 8,
resulting in
a minimum distance of 3.

AC 0.08!!! You need to binary search minimal distance between cows and after that check it out! Easy :) |

Great Question to feel and fell for BS (Binary Search) xD |

Really good problem on Binary search . This basically involves the concept of binary search on answer where we decide which side will give better answer(left or right if some condition satisfies) after finding the mid. Watch video on Binary search by ERRICHTO he has explained the concept really well using the largest >=x problem in his video. |

Very good problem to understand the application of binary search must do !!! |
