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

5
3 1 2 3 1

Sample Output 2

fn read<T: std::str::FromStr>(

    buf.clear();
    let l = std::io::BufRead::read_until(stdin_lock, delimiter, buf).unwrap();
    buf.truncate(l - 1); // remove delimiter
    let s = unsafe { std::str::from_utf8_unchecked(&buf) };
    s.parse().unwrap_or_else(|_| panic!("read"))
}

fn main() {
    let stdin = std::io::stdin();
    let mut stdin_lock = stdin.lock();
    let mut buf: Vec<u8> = Vec::new();
    let n: usize = read(&mut stdin_lock, &mut buf, b'\n');
    let mut hv = vec![0i32; n];
    for i in 0..n - 1 {
        hv[i] = read(&mut stdin_lock, &mut buf, b' ');
    }
    hv[n - 1] = read(&mut stdin_lock, &mut buf, b'\n');

    let mut ans = 0;

        if hv[i] > h {
            ans += hv[i] - h;
        }
