Problem Description

Let A be an integral series {A₁, A₂, . . . , A_n}.

The zero-order series of A is A itself.

The first-order series of A is {B₁, B₂, . . . , B_n-1},where B_i = A_i+1 - A_i.

The ith-order series of A is the first-order series of its (i - 1)th-order series (2<=i<=n - 1).

Obviously, the (n - 1)th-order series of A is a single integer. Given A, figure out that integer.

 

Input

The input consists of several test cases. The first line of input gives the number of test cases T (T<=10).

For each test case:
The first line contains a single integer n(1<=n<=3000), which denotes the length of series A.
The second line consists of n integers, describing A₁, A₂, . . . , A_n. (0<=A_i<=10⁵)

 

Output

For each test case, output the required integer in a line.

题目大意  :输入一串数，用后一个数减前一个数组成一个新的序列，一直这样执行下去直到序列中只剩一个数，输出那个数


题目分析  :比赛开始时，这题wa了一片，后来发现这题是一道大数题，其次暴力做肯定超时，通过对系数的考察，我们发现系数的绝对值是杨辉三角形，杨辉三角形的每一行是可以用组合数算出来，这里每次递归算组合数也会超时，所以我们一次算完保留原来的值然后每次算时直接更新，这样就不会超时了，用到一个组合数公式，系数的标号为m(1 <= m <= len - 1)，序列长度为n则第m个数的系数为C(m-1,n-1)
C(m-1,n-1) = (n-1)! / (m-1)! * (n-m)!      又C(m,n-1) = (n-1)! / (m)! * (n-m-1)!  所以C(m,n-1) = C(m-1.n-1) * (n-m) / m,推出这个公式这题就基本解决了，还有一点就是符号问题，要注意序列奇偶的不同，下面贴代码

import java.io.*;
import java.math.*;
import java.util.*;

public class Main
{
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        BigInteger[] num = new BigInteger[3005];
        BigInteger ans;
        int T = in.nextInt();
        for(int i = 0; i < T; i++ )
        {
            ans = BigInteger.ZERO;
            int flag;
            int len = in.nextInt();
            if(len % 2 == 0)  //若序列长度为偶数num[1]为负，奇数为正
                flag = -1;
            else
                flag = 1;
            for(int j = 1; j <= len; j++)
                num[j] = in.nextBigInteger();
            BigInteger temp = BigInteger.ONE;
            for(int m = 1; m <= len; m++)
            {
                ans = ans.add(num[m].multiply(temp).multiply(BigInteger.valueOf(flag)));
                flag *= -1;
                temp = temp.multiply(BigInteger.valueOf(len-m)).divide(BigInteger.valueOf(m));
            }
            System.out.println(ans);
        }
    }
}
