Problem:
 Score : 100 points    Problem Statement Taro and Jiro will play the following game against each other.  Initially, they are given a sequence a = (a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_N) .
Until a becomes empty, the two players perform the following operation alternately, starting from Taro:   Remove the element at the beginning or the end of a . The player earns x points, where x is the removed element.   Let X and Y be Taro's and Jiro's total score at the end of the game, respectively.
Taro tries to maximize X - Y , while Jiro tries to minimize X - Y .  Assuming that the two players play optimally, find the resulting value of X - Y .      Constraints  All values in input are integers.  1 \leq N \leq 3000  1 \leq a_i \leq 10^9         Input Input is given from Standard Input in the following format:  N  a_1  a_2  \ldots  a_N       Output Print the resulting value of X - Y , assuming that the two players play optimally.        Sample Input 1 4
10 80 90 30      Sample Output 1 10  The game proceeds as follows when the two players play optimally (the element being removed is written bold):   Taro: (10, 80, 90, 30 ) → (10, 80, 90)  Jiro: (10, 80, 90 ) → (10, 80)  Taro: (10, 80 ) → (10)  Jiro: ( 10 ) → ()   Here, X = 30 + 80 = 110 and Y = 90 + 10 = 100 .       Sample Input 2 3
10 100 10      Sample Output 2 -80  The game proceeds, for example, as follows when the two players play optimally:   Taro: ( 10 , 100, 10) → (100, 10)  Jiro: ( 100 , 10) → (10)  Taro: ( 10 ) → ()   Here, X = 10 + 10 = 20 and Y = 100 .       Sample Input 3 1
10      Sample Output 3 10       Sample Input 4 10

4 2 9 7 1 5      Sample Output 5 2  The game proceeds, for example, as follows when the two players play optimally:   Taro: (4, 2, 9, 7, 1, 5 ) → (4, 2, 9, 7, 1)  Jiro: ( 4 , 2, 9, 7, 1) → (2, 9, 7, 1)  Taro: (2, 9, 7, 1 ) → (2, 9, 7)  Jiro: (2, 9, 7 ) → (2, 9)  Taro: (2, 9 ) → (2)  Jiro: ( 2 ) → ()   Here, X = 5 + 1 + 9 = 15 and Y = 4 + 7 + 2 = 13 .
