Description
You want to arrange n integers a1, a2, ..., an in some order in a row. Let's define the value of an arrangement as the sum of differences between all pairs of adjacent integers.
More formally, let's denote some arrangement as a sequence of integers x1, x2, ..., xn, where sequence x is a permutation of sequence a. The value of such an arrangement is (x1 - x2) + (x2 - x3) + ... + (xn - 1 - xn).
Find the largest possible value of an arrangement. Then, output the lexicographically smallest sequence x that corresponds to an arrangement of the largest possible value.
Input
The first line of the input contains integer n (2 ≤ n ≤ 100). The second line contains n space-separated integers a1, a2, ..., an (|ai| ≤ 1000).
Output
Print the required sequence x1, x2, ..., xn. Sequence x should be the lexicographically smallest permutation of a that corresponds to an arrangement of the largest possible value.
Sample Input
5 100 -100 50 0 -50
100 -50 0 50 -100
Hint
In the sample test case, the value of the output arrangement is (100 - ( - 50)) + (( - 50) - 0) + (0 - 50) + (50 - ( - 100)) = 200. No other arrangement has a larger value, and among all arrangements with the value of 200, the output arrangement is the lexicographically smallest one.
Sequence x1, x2, ... , xp is lexicographically smaller than sequence y1, y2, ... , yp if there exists an integer r(0 ≤ r < p) such that x1 = y1, x2 = y2, ... , xr = yr and xr + 1 < yr + 1.
就是找出(x1 - x2) + (x2 - x3) + ... + (xn - 1 - xn)的最大值,并输出最小的排序
分析:
去掉()就是第一个减最后一个,所以最大值放在第一个,最小值放在最后,中间从小到大排列
代码:
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int n,i,a[200];
while(cin>>n)
{
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
cin>>a[i];
sort(a,a+n);
swap(a[0],a[n-1]);
for(i=0;i<n-1;i++)
cout<<a[i]<<" ";
cout<<a[n-1]<<endl;
}
}

sort排序真方便
