Bizon the Champion isn't just attentive, he also is very hardworking.

Bizon the Champion decided to paint his old fence his favorite color, orange. The fence is represented as n vertical planks, put in a row. Adjacent planks have no gap between them. The planks are numbered from the left to the right starting from one, the i-th plank has the width of 1 meter and the height of ai meters.

Bizon the Champion bought a brush in the shop, the brush's width is 1 meter. He can make vertical and horizontal strokes with the brush. During a stroke the brush's full surface must touch the fence at all the time (see the samples for the better understanding). What minimum number of strokes should Bizon the Champion do to fully paint the fence? Note that you are allowed to paint the same area of the fence multiple times.

Input

The first line contains integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 5000) — the number of fence planks. The second line contains n space-separated integersa1, a2, ..., an (1 ≤ ai ≤ 109).

Output

Print a single integer — the minimum number of strokes needed to paint the whole fence.

Note

In the first sample you need to paint the fence in three strokes with the brush: the first stroke goes on height 1 horizontally along all the planks. The second stroke goes on height 2 horizontally and paints the first and second planks and the third stroke (it can be horizontal and vertical) finishes painting the fourth plank.

In the second sample you can paint the fence with two strokes, either two horizontal or two vertical strokes.

In the third sample there is only one plank that can be painted using a single vertical stroke.

思路:粉刷篱笆,我们可以水平方向刷(保证篱笆连续),也可以竖直方向刷,如果水平方向刷的话,刷的最少次数是Min(a0,a1,a2`````an-1),竖直方向刷的话最少次数就是这段篱笆的长度了,按上述方式刷完之后,就会产生高度为0的篱笆,我们以此为分割点分成两段篱笆,重复上述操作
