River Hopscotch
Description Every year the cows hold an event featuring a peculiar version of hopscotch that involves carefully jumping from rock to rock in a river. The excitement takes place on a long, straight river with a rock at the start and another rock at the end, L units away from the start (1 ≤ L ≤ 1,000,000,000). Along the river between the starting and ending rocks, N (0 ≤ N ≤ 50,000) more rocks appear, each at an integral distance Di from the start (0 < Di < L). To play the game, each cow in turn starts at the starting rock and tries to reach the finish at the ending rock, jumping only from rock to rock. Of course, less agile cows never make it to the final rock, ending up instead in the river. Farmer John is proud of his cows and watches this event each year. But as time goes by, he tires of watching the timid cows of the other farmers limp across the short distances between rocks placed too closely together. He plans to remove several rocks in order to increase the shortest distance a cow will have to jump to reach the end. He knows he cannot remove the starting and ending rocks, but he calculates that he has enough resources to remove up to M rocks (0 ≤ M ≤ N). FJ wants to know exactly how much he can increase the shortest distance *before* he starts removing the rocks. Help Farmer John determine the greatest possible shortest distance a cow has to jump after removing the optimal set of M rocks. Input
Line 1: Three space-separated integers:
L,
N, and
M
Lines 2.. N+1: Each line contains a single integer indicating how far some rock is away from the starting rock. No two rocks share the same position. Output
Line 1: A single integer that is the maximum of the shortest distance a cow has to jump after removing
M rocks
Sample Input 25 5 2 2 14 11 21 17 Sample Output 4 Hint
Before removing any rocks, the shortest jump was a jump of 2 from 0 (the start) to 2. After removing the rocks at 2 and 14, the shortest required jump is a jump of 4 (from 17 to 21 or from 21 to 25).

题意：就是有一头牛要跳着石块过河，去掉其中m个石块，问去掉石块后牛应该跳的最小距离的最大值是多少。
这道题就是先找出石块间的距离，设sum为去掉一个石块后剩下一个石块到前一个石块的距离，如果sum<mid（二分的值）则继续去掉下一个石块，如果sum>mid说明这个石块不能去掉，然后继续从这个石块接着查找，同时sum=0；这道题属于最小值最大化问题。
