Input format: - The first line contains an integer B (the budget). - The second line contains an integer T (number of refreshment types). - The third line contains T space-separated integers (costs of refreshments). Output format: - A single integer representing the maximum number of different refreshment types that can be bought. Example: Input: 30 6 5 10 15 20 25 30 Output: 3
