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

use std::io::*;

fn main() {
    let mut s: String = String::new();
    std::io::stdin().read_to_string(&mut s).ok();
    let mut itr = s.trim().split_whitespace();
    let n: usize = itr.next().unwrap().parse().unwrap();
    let mut a: Vec<usize> = (0..n)
        .map(|_| itr.next().unwrap().parse().unwrap())
        .collect();

    let mut ans = 0;
    let mut i = 0;
    while i < n {
        if a[i] > 0 {
            let mut f = a[i];
            for j in i + 1..n + 1 {
                if j == n || a[j] == 0 {
                    ans += f;
                    for k in i..j {
                        a[k] -= f;
                    }
                    break;
                }
                f = std::cmp::min(f, a[j]);
            }
        } else {
            i += 1;
        }
    }
