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: $N$ $h_1$ $h_2$ $h_3$ $......$ $h_N$ [samples]

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 $(l,r)=(2,4)$.
