#K64227. Minimize Maximum Segment Sum in Book Division
Minimize Maximum Segment Sum in Book Division
Minimize Maximum Segment Sum in Book Division
You are given a list of n positive integers representing the number of pages in each chapter of a book, and an integer k. The task is to divide the book into exactly k contiguous segments such that the maximum total number of pages in any segment is minimized. If k is greater than n, treat the division as splitting the book into n segments (each chapter being its own segment).
Formally, suppose the pages are represented as an array A of length n. You need to partition the array into segments such that if the sum of pages in each segment is Si, then you minimize:
Print the minimum possible value of the maximum segment sum.
inputFormat
The input is read from stdin and has the following format:
n k p1 p2 ... pn
Here, n is the number of chapters, k is the number of segments, and pi represents the number of pages in the i-th chapter.
outputFormat
Output a single integer to stdout which is the minimized maximum segment sum after partitioning.
