For this assignment it needs to be written in C nothing fancy, no hard coding the files, and must run in the command line.
Parasols
As per usual ARC is working on expanding the outside eating location outside the Student Union. They have set up chairs on a linear path that extends quite far. To prevent the engineering students from constructing towers from the chairs the SGA has supplied chairs that are bolted to the ground and can no longer be moved. The only issue is that the sun is overbearing and the rain can ruin the outside lunches during the summer.
ARC bought k parasol stands to help cover the outside seating. However, ARC has not purchased any parasol tops nor has determined where to place the parasols. ARC has hired you to help protect their students from the weather. They want to buy k identical parasol tops to cover all the seating. Each chair should be completely covered by at least one parasol. UCF does not want to spend too much money, so you will help determine the minimum integral width of the parasol heads such that all the chairs can be covered.
Suppose you have 2 parasols stands, and 4 chairs at positions 1, 4, 7, and 11. We could cover all the chairs with parasol widths of 6. See the following diagram,

However, we could also cover all the chairs with parasol widths of 5. See the following diagram

you can find out that regardless of placement is not possible to cover all chairs using 2 parasols with widths less than 5.
Input Specification
The first line of input contains a two positive integers, n and k, (n, k ≤ 200,000) representing the number of chairs and the number of parasol stands. The following line will contain n positive, space separated integers representing the position of the chairs in meters from the student union. Note that each chair's position will be given in increasing order.
Output Specification
You will output a single positive integer representing the minimum width of the parasols such that each chair will be completely covered by at least on parasol.
