Problem: You have three tasks, all of which need to be completed.  First, you can complete any one task at cost 0.  Then, just after completing the i-th task, you can complete the j-th task at cost |A_j - A_i|.  Here, |x| denotes the absolute value of x.  Find the minimum total cost required to complete all the task.
