You are given integers K, M and a non-empty array A consisting of N integers. Every element of the array is not greater than M.
You should divide this array into K blocks of consecutive elements. The size of the block is any integer between 0 and N. Every element of the array should belong to some block.
The sum of the block from X to Y equals A[X] + A[X + 1] + ... + A[Y]. The sum of empty block equals 0.
The large sum is the maximal sum of any block.
For example, you are given integers K = 3, M = 5 and array A such that:
A[0] = 2 A[1] = 1 A[2] = 5 A[3] = 1 A[4] = 2 A[5] = 2 A[6] = 2The array can be divided, for example, into the following blocks:
