Wilbur the pig is tinkering with arrays again. He has the array a1, a2, ..., an initially consisting of n zeros. At one step, he can choose any index i and either add 1 to all elements ai, ai + 1, ... , an or subtract 1 from all elements ai, ai + 1, ..., an. His goal is to end up with the array b1, b2, ..., bn.

Of course, Wilbur wants to achieve this goal in the minimum number of steps and asks you to compute this value.

Input

The first line of the input contains a single integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 200 000) — the length of the array ai. Initially ai = 0 for every position i, so this array is not given in the input.

The second line of the input contains n integers b1, b2, ..., bn ( - 109 ≤ bi ≤ 109).

Output

Print the minimum number of steps that Wilbur needs to make in order to achieve ai = bi for all i.

Note

In the first sample, Wilbur may successively choose indices 1234, and 5, and add 1 to corresponding suffixes.

In the second sample, Wilbur first chooses indices 1 and 2 and adds 1 to corresponding suffixes, then he chooses index 4 and subtract1.




题意:给定一个序列b[],初始序列为a[] = {0}。每次操作可以任意选择一个i,使得a[i] a[i+1] ... a[n]减一或者加一。问最少需要多少次操作能够使序列a[]变为序列b[]。


思路:一开始dp写了一发WA了。。。最后直接贪心模拟就AC了。
