Cow Lineup
의견: 0
Farmer John has hired a professional photographer to take a picture of some of his cows. Since FJ's cows represent a variety of different breeds, he would like the photo to contain at least one cow from each distinct breed present in his herd.
FJ's N cows are all standing at various positions along a line, each described by an integer position (i.e., its x coordinate) as well as an integer breed ID. FJ plans to take a photograph of a contiguous range of cows along the line. The cost of this photograph is equal its size -- that is, the difference between the maximum and minimum x coordinates of the cows in the range of the photograph.
Please help FJ by computing the minimum cost of a photograph in which there is at least one cow of each distinct breed appearing in FJ's herd.
Line 1: The number of cows, N (1 <= N <= 50,000).
Lines 2..1+N: Each line contains two space-separated positive integers specifying the x coordinate and breed ID of a single cow. Both numbers are at most 1 billion.
The smallest cost of a photograph containing each distinct breed ID.
