There are $N$ lamps numbered $1$ through $N$ arranged in a row. You are going to light $R$ of them in red and $N-R$ in blue. For each $i=1,\ldots,N-1$, a reward of $A_i$ is given if Lamp $i$ and Lamp $i+1$ light up in different colors. Find the maximum total reward that can be obtained by efficiently deciding the colors of the lamps. ## Constraints * $2 \leq N \leq 2\times 10^5$ * $1 \leq R \leq N-1$ * $1 \leq A_i \leq 10^9$ * All values in input are integers. ## Input Input is given from Standard Input in the following format: $N$ $R$ $A_1$ $A_2$ $\ldots$ $A_{N-1}$ [samples]

Output #1
11

Lighting up Lamps $3, 5$ in red and Lamps $1, 2, 4, 6$ in blue yields a total reward of $A_2+A_3+A_4+A_5=11$.
You cannot get any more, so the answer is $11$.
