Description

Petya is preparing for IQ test and he has noticed that there many problems like: you are given a sequence, find the next number.

 Now Petya can solve only problems with arithmetic or geometric progressions.

Arithmetic progression is a sequence a1a1 + da1 + 2d...a1 + (n - 1)d, where a1 and d are any numbers.

Geometric progression is a sequence b1b2 = b1q...bn = bn - 1q, where b1 ≠ 0q ≠ 0q ≠ 1.

Help Petya and write a program to determine if the given sequence is arithmetic or geometric. Also it should found the 

next number. If the sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric, print 42 (he thinks it is impossible to find better answer). 

You should also print 42 if the next element of progression is not integer. So answer is always integer.

Input

The first line contains exactly four integer numbers between 1 and 1000, inclusively.

Output

Print the required number. If the given sequence is arithmetic progression, print the next progression element. Similarly, 

if the given sequence is geometric progression, print the next progression element.

Print 42 if the given sequence is not an arithmetic or geometric progression.

Sample Input

Input
836 624 412 200
Output
-12
Input
1 334 667 1000
Output
1333

Hint

This problem contains very weak pretests!



一个非常简单的等差中项,等比中项的题目,不要想得太复杂了,关键是利用(a + c) == b * 2,
b * b == a * c判断和输出,
需要注意的是,尽量用乘法,避免用除法。
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int a,b,c,d;
    int x,y,z;
    scanf("%d%d%d%d",&a,&b,&c,&d);
    if((a + c) == b * 2 && (b + d) == c * 2)
    {
        printf("%d\n",(2 * d) - c);
    }
    else if((b * b == a * c) && (c * c == b * d) && ((d * d) % c == 0))
    {
        printf("%d\n",(d * d)/c);
    }
    else
        printf("42\n");
    return 0;
}
