Description

Farmer John built a cowshed with N (2 <= N <= 100,000) compartments distributed in a straight line in the coordinates of x1 ,..., xN (0 <= xi <= 1,000,000,000 ).

His C (2 <= C <= N) cows are less than the compartment distribution, and they are angry with the presence of other cows in the cowshed. Farmer John wants to place the cows in a specified compartment to prevent them from fighting each other. The closer they are to each other, the better. So what is the maximum recent distance?

Input/Output Format

Input Format:

 

Row 3: two numbers N and C separated by spaces.

2nd ~ N + 1 rows: each row has an integer representing the coordinates of each compartment.

 

Output Format:

 

The output contains only one row, that is, the maximum closest distance between two adjacent cows.

 

Input and Output sample input sample #1:
