题目描述

Saya and Kudo go shopping together.
You can assume the street as a straight line, while the shops are some points on the line.
They park their car at the leftmost shop, visit all the shops from left to right, and go back to their car.
Your task is to calculate the length of their route.

输入

The input consists of several test cases.
The first line of input in each test case contains one integer N (0<N<100001), represents the number of shops.
The next line contains N integers, describing the situation of the shops. You can assume that the situations of the shops are non-negative integer and smaller than 2^30.
The last case is followed by a line containing one zero.

输出

 For each test case, print the length of their shopping route.

示例输入

4
24 13 89 37
6
7 30 41 14 39 42
0

示例输出

152
70

提示

Explanation for the first sample: They park their car at shop 13; go to shop 24, 37 and 89 and finally return to shop 13. The total length is (24-13) + (37-24) + (89-37) + (89-13) = 152

示例程序

 

分析：

求路径和，直接求最值差的二倍即可。

 

AC代码：

#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
#include<algorithm>
using namespace std;
int a[100005];
int main()
{
    int n;
    while(cin>>n&&n)
    {
        memset(a,0,sizeof(a));
        for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
        {
            cin>>a[i];
        }
        sort(a,a+n);
        cout<<2*(a[n-1]-a[0])<<endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
