[Codeforces 448C]Painting Fence
Description
Bizon the Champion isn‘t just attentive, he also is very hardworking.
Bizon the Champion decided to paint his old fence his favorite color, orange. The fence is represented as n vertical planks, put in a row. Adjacent planks have no gap between them. The planks are numbered from the left to the right starting from one, the i
Bizon the Champion bought a brush in the shop, the brush‘s width is 1 meter. He can make vertical and horizontal strokes with the brush. During a stroke the brush‘s full surface must touch the fence at all the time (see the samples for the better understanding). What minimum number of strokes should Bizon the Champion do to fully paint the fence? Note that you are allowed to paint the same area of the fence multiple times.
Input
The first line contains integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 5000) — the number of fence planks. The second line contains n space-separated integers a1, a2, ..., an (1 ≤ ai ≤ 109).
Output
Print a single integer — the minimum number of strokes needed to paint the whole fence.
Sample Input
5
2 2 1 2 1
Sample Output
3
HINT
In the first sample you need to paint the fence in three strokes with the brush: the first stroke goes on height 1 horizontally along all the planks. The second stroke goes on height 2 horizontally and paints the first and second planks and the third stroke (it can be horizontal and vertical) finishes painting the fourth plank.
題解
我們在$[1,n]$區間內,如果要橫著塗,那麽必定要從最底下往上塗$min(h_1,h_2,...h_n)$次,那麽又會將$[1,n]$的序列分成多個子局面。
對於每個子局面,我們分治,單獨求解,求解函數遞歸實現。復雜度$O(n^2)$。
