Problem
Given two integers n
and k
, construct a list answer
that contains n
different positive integers ranging from 1
to n
and obeys the following requirement:
- Suppose this list is
answer = [a1, a2, a3, ... , an]
, then the list[|a1 - a2|, |a2 - a3|, |a3 - a4|, ... , |an-1 - an|]
has exactlyk
distinct integers.
Return the list answer
. If there multiple valid answers, return any of them.
Example 1:
Input: n = 3, k = 1 Output: [1,2,3] Explanation: The [1,2,3] has three different positive integers ranging from 1 to 3, and the [1,1] has exactly 1 distinct integer: 1
Example 2:
Input: n = 3, k = 2 Output: [1,3,2] Explanation: The [1,3,2] has three different positive integers ranging from 1 to 3, and the [2,1] has exactly 2 distinct integers: 1 and 2.
Constraints:
1 <= k < n <= 104
