There are ~n~ sticks with some lengths. Your task is to modify the sticks so that each stick has the same length.
You can either lengthen and shorten each stick. Both operations cost ~x~ where ~x~ is the difference between the new and original length.
What is the minimum total cost?
Input
- The first input line contains an integer ~n~: the number of sticks.
Then there are ~n~ integers: ~p\_1,p\_2,\ldots,p\_n~: the lengths of the sticks.
Output
- Print one integer: the minimum total cost.
Constraints
- ~1 \le n \le 2 \cdot 10^5~
- ~1 \le p\_i \le 10^9~
