Problem Statement

You are given an integer sequence A of length N.
Find the maximum absolute difference of two elements (with different indices) in A.

Constraints

2 \leq N \leq 100

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_2 ... A_N

Output

Print the maximum absolute difference of two elements (with different indices) in A.

Sample Input 1

    self[key] = [] if self[key] == nil
    self[key].push(value)
  end

    left = -1;
    right = self.length;
    while left + 1 < right
      mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
      if self[mid] >= value
        right = mid
      else
        left = mid
      end
    end
    right
  end

      if a != b
