Codeforces Round #440 B. Maximum of Maximums of Minimums-【思維】

B. Maximum of Maximums of Minimums time limit per test 1 second memory limit per test 256 megabytes input standard input output standard output

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.

Examples Input
5 2
1 2 3 4 5
Output
5
Input
5 1
-4 -5 -3 -2 -1
Output
-5
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 = 1, rk = n, li = 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.

題意:給你一個序列,然後讓你把這個序列分割為k個子序列 ( 可以不等分 ) ,每個子序列都選出一個最小值,然後求這些最小值的最大值為多少。

解題:k  =  1 取整個陣列最小值

           k  =  2 取陣列頭和尾的最大值  兩個區間,想要最優,從第一個和最後一個選一個最大的因為不管在哪分都不會比兩端的大
           k >=  3 取整個陣列最大的——分3段 把最大值那個單分出來
