POJ 3069 Saruman's Army 贪心

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Saruman's Army

 

 

Description

Saruman the White must lead his army along a straight path from Isengard to Helm’s Deep. To keep track of his forces, Saruman distributes seeing stones, known as palantirs, among the troops. Each palantir has a maximum effective range of R units, and must be carried by some troop in the army (i.e., palantirs are not allowed to “free float” in mid-air). Help Saruman take control of Middle Earth by determining the minimum number of palantirs needed for Saruman to ensure that each of his minions is within R units of some palantir.

Input

The input test file will contain multiple cases. Each test case begins with a single line containing an integer R, the maximum effective range of all palantirs (where 0 ≤ R ≤ 1000), and an integer n, the number of troops in Saruman’s army (where 1 ≤ n ≤ 1000). The next line contains n integers, indicating the positions x₁, …, x_n of each troop (where 0 ≤ x_i ≤ 1000). The end-of-file is marked by a test case with R = n= −1.

Output

For each test case, print a single integer indicating the minimum number of palantirs needed.

using namespace std;

const int maxn=1005;

int pos[maxn];

int main()
{
    int R,n;

    while(cin>>R>>n)
    {
        if(R==-1&&n==-1)
            break;

        for(int i=1;i<=n;i++)
            cin>>pos[i];

        sort(pos+1,pos+n+1);

        int count=0;
        int cur=1;

        while(true)
        {
            int cnt=cur;

            while(cnt+1<=n&&pos[cnt+1]-pos[cur]<=R)
            {
                cnt++;
                if(cnt==n)
                    break;
            }

            count++;
            cur=cnt;

            while(cnt+1<=n&&pos[cnt+1]-pos[cur]<=R)
            {
                cnt++;
            }

            cur=cnt+1;

            if(cur>n)
                break;
        }

        cout<<count<<endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

In the first test case, Saruman may place a palantir at positions 10 and 20. Here, note that a single palantir with range 0 can cover both of the troops at position 20.

In the second test case, Saruman can place palantirs at position 7 (covering troops at 1, 7, and 15), position 20 (covering positions 20 and 30), position 50, and position 70. Here, note that palantirs must be distributed among troops and are not allowed to “free float.” Thus, Saruman cannot place a palantir at position 60 to cover the troops at positions 50 and 70.

题意：直线上有n个点，点i的位置为poi[i],从这n个点中选择若干个，给它们加上标记。

对每一个点， 其距离为 R以内的区域里必须有带有标记的点（自己本身带有标记的点，可以认为与其距离的0的点的地方有一个带有标记的点）。

在满足这个条件的情况下，希望能为尽量少的点添加标记。

请问至少要有多少个点被加上标记。

贪心。
