Saruman ' s Army
Description
Saruman The white must leads 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 is carried by some troop in the army (i.e., Pala Ntirs is 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 Each of the Minions is within R units of some palantir.
Input
The input test file would contain multiple cases. Each test case begins with a containing a integer R, the maximum effective range of all Palantirs (w Here 0≤ R ≤1000), and a integer n, the number of troops in Saruman ' s Army (where 1≤ n ≤100 0). The next line contains n integers, indicating the positions x1, ..., xn 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.

In the first test case, Saruman is a palantir at positions and 20. Here, note this 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), Position (Coverin g positions and), position, and position 70. Here, note this palantirs must be distributed among troops and is not allowed to ' free float. ' Thus, Saruman cannot place a palantir at position-cover the troops at positions and 70.
Test instructions: There are n points on the line, point I is the position of poi[i], select several from the N points, and add a tag to them.
For each point, the area within the distance of R must have a labeled point (itself with a labeled point, which can be thought to have a labeled point where the point of 0 of its distance is).
In cases where this condition is met, it is desirable to add markers for as few points as possible.
Please ask at least how many points are marked.
