Balanced Lineup：线段树：区间最值 / RMQ

不要被线段树这个名字和其长长的代码吓到。

D - Balanced Lineup

Description

For the daily milking, Farmer John's N cows (1 ≤ N ≤ 50,000) always line up in the same order. One day Farmer John decides to organize a game of Ultimate Frisbee with some of the cows. To keep things simple, he will take a contiguous range of cows from the milking lineup to play the game. However, for all the cows to have fun they should not differ too much in height.

Farmer John has made a list of Q (1 ≤ Q ≤ 200,000) potential groups of cows and their heights (1 ≤ height ≤ 1,000,000). For each group, he wants your help to determine the difference in height between the shortest and the tallest cow in the group.

Input

Line 1: Two space-separated integers, N and Q.
Lines 2..N+1: Line i+1 contains a single integer that is the height of cow i
Lines N+2..N+Q+1: Two integers A and B (1 ≤ A ≤ B ≤ N), representing the range of cows from A to B inclusive.

Output

Lines 1..Q:
Each line contains a single integer that is a response to a reply and
indicates the difference in height between the tallest and shortest cow
in the range.

线段树主要的是个树结构，多用于区间修改，查询。修改查询的时间复杂度都为O（long n），是一个很理想的复杂度。

一般输入数据比较多，所以用cin要关闭流同步，或者用scanf，当然最推荐的还是快读。
