Problem Description
NanoApe, the Retired Dog, has returned back to prepare for the National Higher Education Entrance Examination!

In math class, NanoApe picked up sequences once again. He wrote down a sequence with n numbers on the paper and then randomly deleted a number in the sequence. After that, he calculated the maximum absolute value of the difference of each two adjacent remained numbers, denoted as F.

Now he wants to know the expected value of F, if he deleted each number with equal probability.

Input
The first line of the input contains an integer T, denoting the number of test cases.

In each test case, the first line of the input contains an integer n, denoting the length of the original sequence.

The second line of the input contains n integers A1,A2,…,An, denoting the elements of the sequence.

1≤T≤10, 3≤n≤100000, 1≤Ai≤109

Output
For each test case, print a line with one integer, denoting the answer.

In order to prevent using float number, you should print the answer multiplied by n.

Sample Input
1
4
1 2 3 4

Sample Output
6

题意：
给出n个数，每次随机拿走一个数，求剩下的数中相邻的数的差的绝对值最大的期望。
最后防止出现小数，对结果乘n。

解题思路：
设Fi是1到i中相邻的数的差的绝对值的最大值。
Gi是i到n中相邻的数的差的绝对值的最大值。
那么对于每一个数，他的结果就是max(Fi-1,Gi+1,abs(Ai-1 - Ai+1))
最后对n个结果求和即可。

AC代码：

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
const int maxn = 1e5+5;
long long a[maxn];
long long f[maxn];
long long g[maxn];
int main()
{
    int T;
    scanf("%d",&T);
    while(T--)
    {
        int n;
        scanf("%d",&n);
        for(int i = 1;i <= n;i++)   scanf("%lld",&a[i]);
        memset(f,0,sizeof(0)),memset(g,0,sizeof(g));
        for(int i = 2;i <= n;i++)   f[i] = max(f[i-1],abs(a[i]-a[i-1]));
        for(int i = n-1;i >= 1;i--) g[i] = max(g[i+1],abs(a[i]-a[i+1]));
//        for(int i = 1;i <= n;i++)   printf("%lld ",f[i]);
//        putchar('\n');
//        for(int i = 1;i <= n;i++)   printf("%lld ",g[i]);
//        putchar('\n');
        a[0] = a[2];
        a[n+1] = a[n-1];
        long long res = 0;
        for(int i = 1;i <= n;i++)   res += max(max(f[i-1],g[i+1]),abs(a[i-1]-a[i+1]));
        printf("%lld\n",res);
    }
    return 0;
}
