Problem Statement

You are given N integers; the i-th of them is A_i.
Find the maximum possible sum of the absolute differences between the adjacent elements after arranging these integers in a row in any order you like.

Constraints

2 \leq N \leq 10^5

1 \leq A_i \leq 10^9

All values in input are integers.

Input

Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
A_1
:
A_N

Output

Print the maximum possible sum of the absolute differences between the adjacent elements after arranging the given integers in a row in any order you like.

Sample Input 1

5
6
8
1
2
3

Sample Output 1

21

When the integers are arranged as 3,8,1,6,2, the sum of the absolute differences between the adjacent elements is |3 - 8| + |8 - 1| + |1 - 6| + |6 - 2| = 21. This is the maximum possible sum.

Solution in Python (3.8.2) (judge verdict: Wrong Answer)

from collections import *
n=int(input())
a=[]
for i in range(n):
    a.append(int(input()))
a.sort()
a=deque(a)
aa=deque()
aa.append(a.popleft())
while a:
    aa.append(a.pop())
    if a:
        aa.appendleft(a.pop())   
    if a:
        aa.append(a.popleft())
    if a:
        aa.appendleft(a.popleft())
ans=0
aa=list(aa)
for i in range(n-1):
    ans+=abs(aa[i]-aa[i+1])
print(ans)
