【POJ 3264】Balanced Lineup(RMQ算法||线段树)

Balanced Lineup

---

Description

For the daily milking, Farmer John’s N cows (1 ≤ N ≤ 50,000) always line up in the same order. One day Farmer John decides to organize a game of Ultimate Frisbee with some of the cows. To keep things simple, he will take a contiguous range of cows from the milking lineup to play the game. However, for all the cows to have fun they should not differ too much in height.

Farmer John has made a list of Q (1 ≤ Q ≤ 200,000) potential groups of cows and their heights (1 ≤ height ≤ 1,000,000). For each group, he wants your help to determine the difference in height between the shortest and the tallest cow in the group.

Input
Line 1: Two space-separated integers, N and Q.
Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains a single integer that is the height of cow i
Lines N+2..N+Q+1: Two integers A and B (1 ≤ A ≤ B ≤ N), representing the range of cows from A to B inclusive.
Output
Lines 1..Q: Each line contains a single integer that is a response to a reply and indicates the difference in height between the tallest and shortest cow in the range.

题意：

一句话概括->求出给定区间内最大值与最小值的差值。

思路：

此题可用两种方法写。1.线段树；2.新操作->RMQ算法
什么是RMQ？

Range Minimum/Maximum Query,对于长度为n的数列A，回答若干询问RMQ（A,i,j）(i,j<=n)，返回数列A中下标在i，j之间的最小/大值。

可以看出这道题就是一道RMQ算法的裸题。
第一次见到RMQ算法，其实它(的预处理)就是个DP的思想，关键在于状态转移方程的理解。上那篇文章讲的很好可以看看。
