(Method 1) Let's first implement Professor Kim's method
properly:
Take the scores of n students as input, sort them in descending order,
and then divide them into k groups.
Assume that the lower group numbers correspond to higher scores.
Starting from i =1 up to k-1, calculate the differences between the
minimum score of the i
th group and the maximum score of the (i+1)th
group, and maximize the sum of these differences.
However, each group must have at least one student
Take input from standard input.
The first line contains n and k.
The next line contains the scores of n students in ascending order of
enrollment numbers.
Here, n is a number greater than or equal to k.
Each score can range from 0 to 1,000, and ties are possible.
Surprisingly, n can be as large as 104.
k is a positive integer less than or equal to 12.(Note: depending on the
school, each grade (A, B, C, D) may be divided into 2 or 3 categories)
