Saruman's Army

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, …, xnof each troop (where 0 ≤ xi ≤ 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.

Sample Input

0 3
10 20 20
10 7
70 30 1 7 15 20 50
-1 -1

Sample Output

2
4

Hint

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.

首先讲三个故事,关于牛客的事件一:2024年,牛客上有一对高学历情侣,求职方向与我当时一致,都是嵌入式方向。他们恰好是我的朋友,专业能力和学历背景都很扎实,也因此拿到了不少优质offer。和很多求职者一样,他们把offer情况整理后发在平台上,本意是记录与交流,但很快引发了争议。有声音指责他们“集邮”“不释放名额”,认为这种展示本身就是一种炫耀。最终讨论失控,当事人删除内容,事件也很快被遗忘。事件二:小红书评论区,一条评价获得了不少共鸣:“感觉牛客就是当年那群做题区毕业了开始找工作还收不住那股味,颇有一种从年级第一掉到年纪第二后抱怨考不上大学的味道”,这条评论被水印里这个同学转发到牛客后,评论...
小型域名服务器:当看到别人比自己强的时候,即便这是对方应得的,很多人会也下意识的歪曲解构对方的意图,来消解自己在这本就不存在的比较中输掉的自信,从而平白制造出很多无谓的争论。比如你会在空余时间来写优质好文,而我回家只会暗区突围,那么我就可以作为键盘侠在这里评论你是不是XXXXXXXX。即便我自己都知道这是假的,但只要这没那么容易证伪,那么当你开始回应的时候,脏水就已经泼出去了,后面可能会有更多的人带着情绪来给我点赞,而毫不关注你写的文章内容本身是啥了。
