Problem Statement

You are given an integer sequence A of length N and an integer K.
You will perform the following operation on this sequence Q times:

Choose a contiguous subsequence of length K, then remove the smallest element among the K elements contained in the chosen subsequence (if there are multiple such elements, choose one of them as you like).

Let X and Y be the values of the largest and smallest element removed in the Q operations. You would like X-Y to be as small as possible.
Find the smallest possible value of X-Y when the Q operations are performed optimally.

Constraints

1 \leq N \leq 2000

1 \leq K \leq N

1 \leq Q \leq N-K+1

1 \leq A_i \leq 10^9

All values in input are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N K Q
A_1 A_2 ... A_N

Output

Print the smallest possible value of X-Y.

Sample Input 1

5 3 2
4 3 1 5 2

Sample Output 1

1

In the first operation, whichever contiguous subsequence of length 3 we choose, the minimum element in it is 1.
Thus, the first operation removes A_3=1 and now we have A=(4,3,5,2).
In the second operation, it is optimal to choose (A_2,A_3,A_4)=(3,5,2) as the contiguous subsequence of length 3 and remove A_4=2.
In this case, the largest element removed is 2, and the smallest is 1, so their difference is 2-1=1.

1 1 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 55

Solution in Rust (1.15.1) (judge verdict: Accepted)

use io::*;
use std::cmp::{max, min};

fn main() {
    let con = read_string();
    let mut sc = Scanner::new(&con);

    let n: usize = sc.next();
    let k: usize = sc.next();
    let q: usize = sc.next();

    let a: Vec<u32> = sc.next_vec(n);

    let mut ans = u32::max_value();

    for &th in a.iter() {
        let mut tmp = vec![];
        let mut l = 0;
        while l < n {
            let mut r = l;
            while r < n && a[r] >= th {
                r += 1;
            }

            if l == r {
                l += 1;
                continue;
            }

            if r - l > k - 1 {
                let mut t: Vec<u32> = a[l..r].iter().cloned().collect();
                t.sort();
                for i in 0..r - l - k + 1 {
                    tmp.push(t[i]);
                }
            }

            l = r;
        }

        // println!("{:?}", tmp);

        if tmp.len() < q {
            continue;
        }

        tmp.sort();
        ans = min(ans, tmp[q - 1] - th);
    }

    println!("{}", ans);
