Problem Statement

In a flower bed, there are N flowers, numbered 1,2,......,N. Initially, the heights of all flowers are 0.
You are given a sequence h=\{h_1,h_2,h_3,......\} as input. You would like to change the height of Flower k to h_k for all k (1 \leq k \leq N), by repeating the following "watering" operation:

Specify integers l and r. Increase the height of Flower x by 1 for all x such that l \leq x \leq r.

Find the minimum number of watering operations required to satisfy the condition.

Constraints

1 \leq N \leq 100

0 \leq h_i \leq 100

All values in input are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
h_1 h_2 h_3 ...... h_N

Output

Print the minimum number of watering operations required to satisfy the condition.

Sample Input 1

4
1 2 2 1

Sample Output 1

2

The minimum number of watering operations required is 2.
One way to achieve it is:

Perform the operation with (l,r)=(1,3).

Perform the operation with (l,r)=(2,4).

Sample Input 2

Solution in Kotlin (1.0.0) (judge verdict: Accepted)

fun main(args: Array<String>): Unit {
    val sc = java.util.Scanner(System.`in`)
    val n = sc.nextInt()
    val a = sc.asSequence().take(n).map { it.toInt() }.toMutableList()

    var r = 0
    for (i in 0 until n) {
        while (true) {
            val p = a[i]
            if (p == 0) {
                break
            }
            r++
            (i until n).takeWhile { a[it] >= p }.forEach { a[it]-- }
       }
    }
    println(r)
}
