  • Problem Description
    Given a list of N integers, your task is to select K integers from the list such that its unfairness is minimized.

    if (x1,x2,x3,…,xk) are K numbers selected from the list N, the unfairness is defined as 

    max(x1,x2,..,xk)-min(x1,x2,….,xk)

    where max denotes the largest integer among the elements of K, and min denotes the smallest integer among the elements of K .

    Input Format 

    The first line contains an integer N. 
    The second line contains an integer K. 
    N lines follow. Each line contains an integer that belongs to the list N.

    Note: Integers in the N list may not be unique.

    Output Format 
    An integer that denotes the minimum possible value of unfairness.

    Constraints 
    2<=N<=10^5 
    2<=K<=N 
    0<=integer in N<=10^9
