You have k bags. You are given a 0-indexed integer array weights where weights[i] is the weight of the ith marble. You are also given the integer k.

\n\n

Divide the marbles into the k bags according to the following rules:

\n\n\n\n

The score after distributing the marbles is the sum of the costs of all the k bags.

\n\n

Return the difference between the maximum and minimum scores among marble distributions.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\n
\nInput: weights = [1,3,5,1], k = 2\nOutput: 4\nExplanation: \nThe distribution [1],[3,5,1] results in the minimal score of (1+1) + (3+1) = 6. \nThe distribution [1,3],[5,1], results in the maximal score of (1+3) + (5+1) = 10. \nThus, we return their difference 10 - 6 = 4.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\n
\nInput: weights = [1, 3], k = 2\nOutput: 0\nExplanation: The only distribution possible is [1],[3]. \nSince both the maximal and minimal score are the same, we return 0.\n
