Problem Statement

Evi has N integers a_1,a_2,..,a_N. His objective is to have N equal integers by transforming some of them.

He may transform each integer at most once. Transforming an integer x into another integer y costs him (x-y)^2 dollars. Even if a_i=a_j (i≠j), he has to pay the cost separately for transforming each of them (See Sample 2).

Find the minimum total cost to achieve his objective.

Constraints

1≦N≦100

-100≦a_i≦100

Input

The input is given from Standard Input in the following format:

N
a_1 a_2 ... a_N

Output

Print the minimum total cost to achieve Evi's objective.

Sample Input 1

2
4 8

Sample Output 1

8

Transforming the both into 6s will cost (4-6)^2+(8-6)^2=8 dollars, which is the minimum.

Sample Input 2

3
1 1 3

Sample Output 2

3

Transforming the all into 2s will cost (1-2)^2+(1-2)^2+(3-2)^2=3 dollars. Note that Evi has to pay (1-2)^2 dollar separately for transforming each of the two 1s.

Sample Input 3

3
4 2 5

Sample Output 3

5

Leaving the 4 as it is and transforming the 2 and the 5 into 4s will achieve the total cost of (2-4)^2+(5-4)^2=5 dollars, which is the minimum.

Sample Input 4

4
-100 -100 -100 -100

Sample Output 4

0

Without transforming anything, Evi's objective is already achieved. Thus, the necessary cost is 0.

Solution in Rust (1.15.1) (judge verdict: Accepted)

use std::io::Read;
use std::cmp::min;

fn main() {
    let mut buf = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_to_string(&mut buf).unwrap();

    let answer = solve(&buf);

    println!("{}", answer);
}

fn solve(input: &str) -> String {
    let mut iterator = input.split_whitespace();

    let n: usize = iterator.next().unwrap().parse().unwrap();
    let a: Vec<isize> = (0..n)
        .map(|_| iterator.next().unwrap().parse().unwrap())
        .collect();

    let mut min_cost = 1_000_000_000;
    for i in -100..101 {
        let mut cost = 0;
        for j in 0..n {
            cost += (a[j] - i).abs().pow(2);
        }
        min_cost = min(min_cost, cost);
    }

    return format!("{}", min_cost);
}
