Description

Saruman the White must lead 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 be carried by some troop in the army (i.e., palantirs are 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 that each of his minions is within R units of some palantir.

Input

The input test file will contain multiple cases. Each test case begins with a single line containing an integer R, the maximum effective range of all palantirs (where 0 ≤ R ≤ 1000), and an integer n, the number of troops in Saruman’s army (where 1 ≤ n ≤ 1000). The next line contains n integers, indicating the positions x₁, …, x_n 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.

Sample Input

0 310 20 2010 770 30 1 7 15 20 50-1 -1

Sample Output

24

Hint

In the first test case, Saruman may place a palantir at positions 10 and 20. Here, note that 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 15), position 20 (covering positions 20 and 30), position 50, and position 70. Here, note that palantirs must be distributed among troops and are not allowed to “free float.” Thus, Saruman cannot place a palantir at position 60 to cover the troops at positions 50 and 70.

题意：直线上有n个点，点i的位置是Xi。从这n个点钟选择若干个，给它们加上标记。
对每一点，其距离为R的区域里必须有带标记的点 (自己本身带有标记的点，
可以认为与其距离为0的地方有一个带有标记的点)。在满足条件的情况下，尽可能少的点添加标记。
