Problem:
Score : 100 points

Problem Statement

Taro and Jiro will play the following game against each other.

Initially, they are given a sequence a = (a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_N).
Until a becomes empty, the two players perform the following operation alternately, starting from Taro:

Remove the element at the beginning or the end of a. The player earns x points, where x is the removed element.

Let X and Y be Taro's and Jiro's total score at the end of the game, respectively.
Taro tries to maximize X - Y, while Jiro tries to minimize X - Y.

Assuming that the two players play optimally, find the resulting value of X - Y.

Constraints

All values in input are integers.

1 \leq N \leq 3000

1 \leq a_i \leq 10^9

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
a_1 a_2 \ldots a_N

Output

Print the resulting value of X - Y, assuming that the two players play optimally.

Sample Input 1

4
10 80 90 30

Sample Output 1

10

The game proceeds as follows when the two players play optimally (the element being removed is written bold):

Taro: (10, 80, 90, 30) → (10, 80, 90)

Jiro: (10, 80, 90) → (10, 80)

Taro: (10, 80) → (10)

Jiro: (10) → ()

Here, X = 30 + 80 = 110 and Y = 90 + 10 = 100.

Sample Input 2

3
10 100 10

Sample Output 2

-80

The game proceeds, for example, as follows when the two players play optimally:

Taro: (10, 100, 10) → (100, 10)

Jiro: (100, 10) → (10)

Taro: (10) → ()

Here, X = 10 + 10 = 20 and Y = 100.

Sample Input 3

1
10

Sample Output 3

10

Sample Input 4

10
1000000000 1 1000000000 1 1000000000 1 1000000000 1 1000000000 1

Sample Output 4

4999999995

The answer may not fit into a 32-bit integer type.

Sample Input 5

6
4 2 9 7 1 5

Sample Output 5

2

The game proceeds, for example, as follows when the two players play optimally:

Taro: (4, 2, 9, 7, 1, 5) → (4, 2, 9, 7, 1)

Jiro: (4, 2, 9, 7, 1) → (2, 9, 7, 1)

Taro: (2, 9, 7, 1) → (2, 9, 7)

Jiro: (2, 9, 7) → (2, 9)

Taro: (2, 9) → (2)

Jiro: (2) → ()

Here, X = 5 + 1 + 9 = 15 and Y = 4 + 7 + 2 = 13.

;;
;; Basic usage:
;;
;; (with-cache (:hash-table :test #'equal :key #'cons)
;;   (defun add (a b)
;;     (+ a b)))
;; This function caches the returned values for already passed combinations of
;; arguments. In this case ADD stores the key (CONS A B) and the returned value
;; to a hash-table when (ADD A B) is evaluated for the first time. ADD returns
;; the stored value when it is called with the same arguments (w.r.t. EQUAL)
;; again.
;;
;; The storage for cache can be hash-table or array. Let's see an example for
;; array:
;; (with-cache (:array (10 20 30) :initial-element -1 :element-type 'fixnum)
;;   (defun foo (a b c) ... ))
;; This form stores the value of FOO in an array created by (make-array (list 10
;; 20 30) :initial-element -1 :element-type 'fixnum). Note that INITIAL-ELEMENT
;; must always be given here as it is used as the flag expressing `not yet
;; stored'. (Therefore INITIAL-ELEMENT should be a value FOO never takes.)
;;
;; If you want to ignore some arguments, you can put `*' in dimensions:
;; (with-cache (:array (10 10 * 10) :initial-element -1)
;;   (defun foo (a b c d) ...)) ; then C is ignored when querying or storing cache
;;
;; Available definition forms in WITH-CACHE are DEFUN, LABELS, FLET, and
;; SB-INT:NAMED-LET.
;;
;; You can trace the memoized function by :TRACE option:
;; (with-cache (:array (10 10) :initial-element -1 :trace t)
;;   (defun foo (x y) ...))
;; Then FOO is traced as with CL:TRACE.
;;

;; TODO & NOTE: Currently a memoized function is not enclosed with a block of
;; the function name.

;; FIXME: *RECURSION-DEPTH* should be included within the macro.
