Some kids play with blocks, and build things by stacking different blocks on top of each other. Given a set of blocks and a target height, we want to find out if it's possible to construct a stack with an exact specified height.

The input will contain at least 3 lines, one positive integer value per line. The first line will contain an integer H, the target height for the stack. 0 \le H \le 100

The second line will contain an integer S, number of blocks in a set. 0 \le S \le 10

The next S lines will contain integers, one per line; 0 \le N \le 10; representing the height of blocks in the set.

The output file will contain a single integer value, a minimum number of blocks out of the supplied set, required to build a stack of the given height. If it is impossible to build the desired stack, output 0.
