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

Sample Input 3

8
4 23 75 0 23 96 50 100

Sample Output 3

221

}

fn read_as_string() -> String{
    let mut s = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_line(&mut s).unwrap();

}

fn main(){
    let _: i32 = read_as_vec()[0];
    let mut flowers: Vec<i32> = read_as_vec();
    let mut water = 0;

    while flowers.iter().any(|h| *h > 0){
        for h in flowers.iter_mut().skip_while(|h| **h == 0).take_while(|h| **h > 0){
            *h -= 1;
        }
        water += 1;
    }
    println!("{}", water);
